I am Lavender. I am going to tell you something about your brain. You know that I, as Lavender, relax your nervous system and slow your brainwaves down. But why do you need to relax?
Everyone seems to say "relax", especially in the self-care industry.
Relax for the sake of relaxation?
To get all sleepy and snuggly?
Let's evolve. Shall we?
Different brainwaves correlate to different states of consciousness = different states of being. You are a different person when your brainwaves change. You act, think, and behave completely differently as your brainwaves change, and this affects your whole life not only in terms of awakening your own body's healing but also the choices you make in life change, to the point that you affect your future in a good or bad way. You either make choices that are in line with your dreams, a healthy, fulfilled, peaceful life or the actual opposite of everything that you do not want, dream or wish for your life.
You are reading me in beta brain waves, which means you are present with the information. If I said to you that there is a test and I will ask you questions about this newsletter, your brain would perk up a bit, and you would move into Mid-range beta to get ready.
But when you are fearful, judgmental, angry or resentful, your brain moves into aroused high beta waves. Perhaps you are reading a blog post that says "X, Y,Z" ingredients in beauty products cause cancer. You then find yourself on a website with a huge list that says "Ingredients We Say No To", and yet they still sell products with ingredients you can't even pronounce. You were worried about "X, Y,Z", but now you have a huge list to check one by one to see if they are telling the truth. Or you are scanning barcodes at the drug store with that app, searching if the product you are holding is safe or not.
This arousal is exactly the same as stepping on the gas and the brake at the same time in your car. It puts your attention to your environment. Your brain starts forecasting the future because you are not able to predict or control it. You have the perception that things are going to get worse. Arousal of the hormones makes your brain think about all the people, objects, and things in your environment. Perhaps you know someone who has cancer or died of cancer.
Like a lighting storm in the cloud, your brain moves out of order and becomes incoherent. Energy in your brain begins to go down. Some people live like this. They keep it aroused like driving a sports car in first gear on the highway, checking everything they eat and use, counting vitamins, minerals, and even the steps they walk.
They become narrowly focused and obsessive. If you keep analyzing that huge list on that website or calculating everything, your brain moves even more out of order. The brain sends signals to your organs, which causes automatic dis-regulation in your body.
Lavender says, Is it worth it?
When you stop analyzing and start trusting, your brainwaves slow down. That voice in your head that is always talking, that chatter that says what could go wrong, quiet down, and the brain naturally starts seeing pictures and possibilities. Your inner world becomes more real than the outside world, which means your brain is in a state of "creation".
That life that you want, your dreams, healing your body, you start believing in yourself. You start thinking and imagining ways to achieve your goals because you can. Your brain is in a state of creation.
Lavender says, Is it worth it?
Living in high beta in stress, Is it worth it?
Reading the ingredient list is easy. Move out of high-beta. Say yes to actual nature. Say yes to your own evolution. Free your brain for your own dreams. Lead your own life by taking care of your brain and the information you are exposed to.
with all my love,
Ezgi
