MMP077 - Create Your Own Reality with Brainspotting and More (Cynthia Schwartzberg)

In this episode, we continue our exploration of the application
of the Brainspotting modality. Our guest, Cynthia Schwartzberg,
discusses the history of Brainspotting and how she discovered it
through her work in Core Energetics.


Brainspotting is a modality discovered by Dr. David Grand. Please
visit www.brainspotting.com to learn more.


Here are the seven mantras from this episode:


Mantra #1: There is something special about the eyes when it
comes to brain-body connection and healing. (See below for more
information about how the eyes are part of the central nervous
system, developing from the neural tube in the human fetus in
utero).


Mantra #2: Relationships create the foundations of healing.


Mantra #3: We can create our own reality (Brainspotting provides
opportunities to separate the past from the present and future).



Mantra #4: Brainspotting can assist with self-acceptance (a key
element in creating our optimal reality).


Mantra #5: Brainspotting can also assist us in discovering
talents.


Mantra #6: Uncertainty is key to allowing “ah-ha” moments to
arise.


Mantra #7: Everything is energy.


Cynthia also provided listeners with a great “recipe” for
creating your best reality (to great for the new year!).
-Set an intention
-Know its possible
-Create awareness of obstacles (what might be in the way,
including limiting beliefs)
-Use methodologies such as Brainspotting to remove obstacles


Love it!


Notes about Mantra #1
I want to give credit here to Dr. Peggy Mason, Ph.D. I am taking
her course at the University of Chicago called Understanding the
Brain: The Neurobiology of Everyday Life.


In one of the recent lessons, Dr. Mason explained how the neural
tube creates the entire central nervous system from the spinal
cord to the brain. At about three weeks of age of the fetus, the
neural tube is in a vesicular stage when it is differentiating
into the spinal cord, the hindbrain, the midbrain, and the
forebrain.


The forebrain then differentiates into two vesicles called the
diencephalon and the telencephalon. The diencephalon becomes the
thalamus and the hypothalamus. The telencephalon becomes the
cerebral cortex, the core parts of the basal ganglia, the
amygdala, and a few other structures.



The diencephalon, which ends up inside telencephalon as the
cerebral cortex grows, has an outpouching that becomes the optic
nerve and the retina.
Here I’m going to quote Dr. Mason:
“Why is that amazing? Because what you have is an accessible
piece of the central nervous system. This is the central nervous
system, it comes from the diencephalon, it is continuous with the
diencephalon. Here's the diencephalon, and here's the optic
nerve, here's the retina. It's all contains within the same
meninges. It's all surrounded by CSF. So it's one that means that
when you look into somebody's eye you're looking into the central
nervous system. You're not looking to the brain. But it's a
window on the brain…”
Cool.
