Google "iq boost from meditation." This search will show the average meditator gets a 23 percent increase to iq. That's huge.

My doctor told me that if they do a brain scan on you and then you meditate for half an hour a day for 5 weeks and then they do another brain scan they can see that your brain is physically optimizing itself just after 5 weeks.

There's more interaction between the right and left hemispheres of the brain. Increased power and frequency of different types of electrical waves such as gamma waves. More density of gray matter throughout the brain. The areas which control anxiety and negative emotions become smaller.

Meditation increases the ability to control your emotions. Increases concentration and memory.

Think about this... your memory is improved but your less stressed out so your brain actually functions better at memory too. Because the fight or flight response generated by stress shuts down your memory and you just remember the emotions mainly.

But wait I said that you will have less negative emotions and more control over your emotions? How is this beneficial to pickup artists? Well those tests women do constantly... all your reactions will be better increasingly so for as long as you work on yourself.

But wait is 23 percent the top amount you can improve? Nope. That's just the average meditator. The more you work on yourself the more results you will get.

I watched this video on YouTube of a guy named Sadhguru. In some videos he lectures at Harvard medical school. He's someone that has reached enlightenment through meditation. Enlightenment means that he's basically some crazy monk who's got incredible mental game. Anyways he said according to science from where the average brain starts it can improve x3000.

That 3000x seems really huge. But that's starting at the average brain that's in chaos of mental patterns which is not worked on. that sounds crazy. But improve your brain 100 percent and that's x2. Improve it again that's x4 improve it again by 100 percent that's x8.

So I'm telling you that you can drastically improve your intelligence if you work on this and that you can make yourself happy on command at any time.

So it's as simple as just meditation? No. You need to learn the concepts of self growth too. They are just as important to guide you down the path of self growth.

Do you choose what to think about or are you just a victim of mental patterns which have built up in your mind through your life. Can you think of a really great experience you had? Try to feel how you felt then? Think about it a bunch. Can you think of a negative experience? How does this make you feel? Can you think the word "the" 30 times in a row? I must conclude that we actually control our mind and are just stuck in mental patterns we have built.

A long time ago monks would put themselves in situations that made them uncomfortable in order to isolate the emotions and embrace them and the emotions would lose power if done this way. How is this beneficial to you? Do you have social anxiety? What would you be most afraid to do? Or would it make you uncomfortable to go out in public dressed as a slob talking to girls? What if you purposely got rejected by them? It's just one example. Our minds are just guide posts saying hey I'm afraid of this. Therefore I need to confront that emotion.

There's interesting things if you read about self growth. The concept of selflessness is confusing. I can explain it like this. Is the person who gets rejected and goes and cries having more of a self than the person who gets rejected and feels nothing? Aim to not have a self as the goal of self growth. Set boundaries of course. Fear of other people's reactions is having a self. Best not let them walk on you. Anger is also having a self. Sometimes things happen and we say this is how I'm going to react and then we make that happen and make ourselves feel how we have chosen to feel. The correct emotion is nothing just pure calmness. Cultivate your calm.

Desire is an interesting thing. I desire that hot girl. Will I care if I can't get her? I desire to be rich. Will I care if I don't get rich? It's important to cultivate your inner observer. In order to learn your mind. Do you desire that rock on the ground? Will you care if you don't get it? Why? Because you don't desire it. So you don't care about it. It's an interesting concept how our desires are what stresses us out. Be careful what you desire because it can bring you stress.

If your going to meditate then look on Google for a beginner guide. Then use Spotify and YouTube to get guided meditations. Get lots of them. One thing I do is right when I start a meditation I do a quick body scan and relax my body. This is key.

Do you lack motivation? I'm using "POWERFUL guided meditation to increase motivation (self hypnosis daytime meditation)" sorry I don't have the link because I am not great with technology and use the YouTube app so I don't think it has an address. But anyways you can use this stuff to make yourself highly motivated.

Headspace guide to sleep will give you good meditations to improve your sleep. Sleep is very important. You may fall asleep faster too. I do.

In meditation when you catch yourself starting to daydream say "thinking" make a note of what you were thinking about and go back to meditation. This will happen constantly by the way. Don't expect to be anything except horrible at meditation when you start. Don't worry it's still changing your brain. Everyone has this problem. It helps reduce overall stress if you use this concept.

So that "thinking" concept is multiuse. Do you fidget? Say "moving" make a note about it in your head and stop and carry on. Do you explain yourself too much? Say "explaining" make a note of what you were doing and then continue on.

Don't use the same word for different behaviors.

Note : meditation is something you need to do every day. Doing a bunch once a week won't do anything. You must do it every day.

Something I've observed is that social media makes a lot of people more insecure. They post something and then hope for people to like and comment on it. They create a situation where they constantly look for validation. Not a good pattern to create in our mind. Constantly looking for validation is a pattern and each time you give in to this concept of feeding an insecurity it will only make it stronger.

So we know we can defeat insecurities by confronting them and showing them that if we do it enough they will cease to exist. But we also know that if we feed our insecurities they will grow stronger. They are kind of like Freddy kougar.

Are you afraid to give speeches? What if you gave 1000? Would you be afraid? Be aware of the patterns you create.

Anyways someone asked me to write an inner game thread. "Explaining"
