....... AND I wept on the train yesterday as I read this .........

Getting to the BRAIN up close.

I am fascinated by the Brain.

I love to study the brain up close.

It is not that easy

can't get that close

not having one myself !

My recent reading was about the Teenage Brain.

All Brain stuff is brainy !

But it’s complicated too.

A little out-take about a climate of trust::

Oxytocin is only released when you connect to someone you trust. 

If you don’t trust that person, 

your brain turns on the bad feeling of cortisol. 

Today, cortisol is called the “stress chemical,” 

but in the state of nature it signals pain and the anticipation of pain. 

So meshing with someone you don’t trust triggers the anticipation of pain, 

but distancing triggers fear of losing your herd. 

What’s a big-brained mammal to do?

You can re-wire the circuits that control these chemicals. 

You can wire yourself to feel safe when you 

distance yourself from your herd or pack or troop. 

It’s harder than you may think, alas, 

because slashing a new trail through your jungle of neurons is harder 

than flowing down the neural superhighways you built long ago.

Great colours on my iPhone home page.

100% in my experience.

"How are you"? 

We are asked. 

Most times - 

100% in my experience, 

don't want to know. 

It's a cliche. 

Is it a rhetorical question? 

I am not sure what the word means?

Forgive my ignorance. 

I need much forgiveness.

The Round Table

Back in the Day Family Pipturesque.

'LEVEL FIVE' Communication - a great aid to emotional well being.

When a person wants to share something 

big and real in their life, 

it is so beautiful when they take the courage. 

But time passes without disclosing ...

Getting to that point ...

To the point of self disclosure

is a hard road. 

A road less travelled. 

But time passes ...

Emotions and thoughts are entwined 

as everything is considered. 

It is natural to not want to share 

because personal issues usually feel like failures. 

Personal, relational, humbling embarrassing, even. 

Time passes by .....

Hours and emotions are used up. 

Maybe not so much thinking, 

but emotions and energy is draining away 

as long as the situation is undisclosed 

and definitly not resolved. 

It is difficult to tell anyone. 

Delay ensures. 

Time and energy used up. 

Some times temporary release is found 

in alcohol/eating/drugs/unhealthy 

relationships - one or many. 

A person on hand is essential at this time. 

A confidential person. 

A listening person. 

Someone not jumping on the advice band wagon. 

Someone who can be a trusted & supportive friend. 

Decision being made, 

now the best time is considered. 

Time can pass by .....

Emotions wasted 

Life on hold ....

The time and place are manuvered   

into place. 

Then it happens. 

Level Five. 

Being level five is when one or more person 

processes their communication and 

sharing towards openness and honesty. 

This included sharing vulnerability. 

Taking the masks off. 

Undressing their souls with another. 

The Levels are::

1.  Cliche 

2.  Facts

3.  Opinions

4.  Feelings

5.  Total Openness.
