Power of Knowledge and Mirror neurons

 The theory of mirror neurons has been circulating for the past few years, providing a lens to understand how a child's neural networks take shape, profoundly influenced by their environment, especially their parents. For those encountering the concept of mirror neurons for the first time, they are brain cells that mimic behaviors and feelings observed in others. Consider actions you unconsciously adopted as you grew older, mirroring your parents—perhaps your walk or the way you hold a spoon.

A lingering question arises: if we've mirrored behaviors or habits from our parents, how do we break free from them? Pondering this, considering the theory of mirror neurons, implies a continuous cycle of behaving like our parents, who behaved like their parents, and so on. In this scenario, are we truly living unique lives or merely replaying the same old song?

My revelation on this matter occurred a couple of days ago. Since being diagnosed with hypothyroidism, I've explored various healing programs, hoping for positive shifts. However, these programs often imposed preset schedules, leaving participants directionless once the program concluded.

About a month and a half ago, I enrolled in a holistic healing program by Live360. While many aspects of the program stood out, the knowledge-sharing sessions were particularly impactful. These sessions educated participants on various aspects of food, exercise, lifestyle, and more. My habitual sharing of newfound knowledge with my children continued, but this time, I also started making subtle changes in my personal eating habits.

Remarkably, during a recent restaurant outing, my children engaged in a discussion about protein and vegetable portions, actively building a balanced meal. It dawned on me how knowledge and mirror neurons contributed to a shift in my children's relationship with food—from mere taste or calories to a holistic understanding.

In this blog, I extend my gratitude to the Live360 team for taking a leap of faith and sharing their knowledge. It seems we've forgotten the beauty of knowledge: the more you share, the more it grows.

In conclusion, if we aspire to break free from the shackles of mirror neurons hindering our evolution, the most effective path is 'Knowledge.' Learn and consciously adopt changes in your life, and children will naturally follow suit.

Heartfully,

Manika

The Power of Choice: Shaping Our World in Just Ten Minutes

It was 6:00 a.m., and I woke up to the soft, dusky sky. Bangalore had been soaking in rain for nearly two months straight, and the morning felt like it carried the last remnants of the night. But I woke up feeling refreshed, ready to embrace the day with energy and a light heart. Instinctively, I reached for my phone, which had been charging beside my bed. Though I could plug it in anywhere else, I kept it here, using the excuse that it doubled as my alarm clock. As I unplugged it and walked towards the kitchen, the first thing I did was open BBC News, then CNN, and finally glanced at the news flash on Google. By the time I reached the kitchen, scrolling through headlines, my mood had completely shifted. I had gone from feeling joyful and relaxed to worrying about hurricanes in the US, volcanoes erupting in far-off places, and the looming threat of a global conflict. In just ten minutes, my mind was flooded with anxiety over the state of the world and the uncertain future our children...

New Year's Hope: The Power of Belief and Renewal

First day of a brand new year. Calls, messages, Facebook, newspapers—you name it, and you'll find excitement all around. In case you didn't party the night before, there's got to be something wrong with you. 'How can you not be excited about a new year starting?' Probably this is the only time when humanity comes together and celebrates. No religion, no caste, no communities, no borders—nothing. It's the first stroke of hope and the last of what has gone—a fresh new year. A new year brings with it an ocean of hope—hope of a better everything: myself, my job, the world we live in—everything. But this spark of hope has a very short life, sometimes days, sometimes weeks, and some very firm-willed are able to push it until the end of the month. To dig a little deeper into this, let’s rewind a little and see what changed. From 31st Dec 12:00 am till 1st Jan 12:00 am, nothing changed other than a digit, one created by historians for recording purposes. Then how come ...
