Tickle your Amygdala

Here’s something we came across listening to the always interesting Coast-to-Coast radio show. It’s a very simple exercise that will benefit everyone. It comes from Neil Slade.

First we need to identify the amygdala:

It’s located about an inch behind the eyes and there is one on each side of the brain at the level of the eyes. Think about then as if they were two small buttons on each side of your brain.

Now imagine reaching into the brain, just above your eyes, with a feather and tickling the amygdala. Start with the left side, then do the right. The feather can be any color, but be sure to try your favorite color and a rainbow colored feather at some point. Neil recommends trying this the next time you’re in line somewhere.

This little exercise is great for inducing calm when wound up, providing a bit of stimulation when you’re bored, or you just want to give your brain a boost. Want to know more? http://www.neilslade.com/
