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
