Apperently we all have an amygdala in our brain that directs the activity in the brain. One way is it sets you into "flight or fight" when having "amygdala hijack", the other way turns on the frontable lobes. So that link talks about ways to click the amygdala forward so the frontable lobes are being used. And that brain scans of a meditator showed the frontal lobes more active.

I wondered if anyone has palyed with this amygdala clicking and how it worked for them.

I also was listening to Bruce Lipton CDs (biology of belief) and he was talking about how fear shutsdown the frontal lobes and redirects the blood flow to the rear and lower parts of the brain - for flight or flight. This corelates to the info in the links at the top of this post. Interesting also is that a baby in the womb will develope differently based on how much fear is present with the mother. The fear will make the baby's brain also shutdown the frontable lobe blood flow and as such will have a more developed lower and back brain, so as to be able to come out and deal with the environment the mother is expressing fear over. Also, the converse - a mother that is relatively not fear ridden will be developing a baby that has more blood flow to the frontal lobes and the baby will be more intelligent - so was being said in the CDs. Here's a link to Bruce's web but I couldn't find a writing about the brain's amygdala that I heard about on the CDs.

But the idea that we can switch our amygdala into using the frontal lobes and have a fuller/more connected experience intrigued me. I'm not sure what the procedure is to train this switch in our brains and just wondered if anyone on this forum is into this. Or got interested now because of my post and had thoughts.
