So this is a human brain with a spinal cord.

Such a masterpiece.

But what people don't know is that we have four different structured parts of our brain that automatically shape how we think, feel, and behave.

But what if it's not unconscious?

What if we could pick and choose how we want to be in any moment on purpose?

Like we can manifest our own mental health.

Absolutely.

You're going to so get it.

We have a problem.

We are skewed as a society to the two parts of the left brain, which focuses on me, the individual.

How do I fit myself into a society?

And trauma is living in there, as is cravings and addiction.

And we need this.

It protects us.

But we get in trouble when this is the only portion of our brain that we value.

Because look at the world we currently live in.

Well, so many people are trying to get rid of their emotional reactivity, but the way to heal it is not to get rid of it.

I mean, we're liars for this.

Why do I want to just put myself in a little box and say, I don't want to have pain.

I don't want to be mad.
