POWER OF MIND
● Mind power is one of the strongest and most useful powers you possess. This power consists of your thoughts.
The thoughts that pass through your mind are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Your
predominant thoughts influence your behavior and attitude and control your actions and reactions.
WHAT IS BRAIN?
● Brain, the mass of nerve tissue in the anterior end of an organism. The brain integrates sensory information and
directs motor responses; in higher vertebrates it is also the centre of learning.
● CEREBELLUM- The cerebellum is a part of the brain that plays a vital role in virtually all physical
movement. This part of the brain helps a person drive, throw a ball, or walk across the room. The cerebellum
also assists people with eye movement and vision.
● CEREBRUM- the largest and uppermost portion of the brain. The cerebrum consists of the cerebral
hemispheres and accounts for two-thirds of the total weight of the brain. One hemisphere, usually the left, is
functionally dominant, controlling language and speech. The other hemisphere interprets visual and spatial
information.
● OCCIPITAL LOBE- The occipital lobe, found in the back of your cerebrum, plays a role in processing
visual information. It can be related to oculus, the Latin word for eye.
● TEMPORAL LOBES- There are two temporal lobes, one in each hemisphere - close to where your ears
are. It primarily functions in auditory processing. However, it may also be involved in emotion, learning, and
pronunciation/learning a new language. If you hear a loud tempo or beat, you may cover your ears, thus
blocking the sounds from getting to your temporal lobe.
● FRONTAL LOBE- The frontal lobe allows you to solve a complex task, undergo voluntary movement of
your body parts, form complete sentences, and is responsible for your personality traits. Think about the last
time you had a difficult exam, what was your first reaction? You probably put your elbow on the table and
your hand on your forehead, precisely where your frontal lobe is located.
● PARIETAL LOBE- The parietal lobe functions in general sensation and feeling. If you stand too close to a
campfire, you probably take a few steps backwards to avoid the excessive heat. Building a snowman without
gloves may also bring you discomfort, but your parietal lobe helps to communicate this information with the
rest of your brain. Although all sensations are not bad, it is important to point out how they help us avoid
potentially harmful situations. The parietal lobe is found in between the frontal and occipital lobe.
● BRAIN STEM- The brain stem controls the flow of messages between the brain and the rest of the body,
and it also controls basic body functions such as breathing, swallowing, heart rate, blood pressure,
consciousness, and whether one is awake or sleepy
