Kroppen er magisk laget for å regulere seg selv, men moderne livsstil saboterer ofte denne prosessen.
Et interessant perspektiv på hvordan livsstilen vår påvirker kroppens naturlige funksjoner.
Å personliggjøre biokjemiske prosesser (f.eks. å gi hjernebølgene navn) gjør det lettere å forstå og forholde seg til dem.
Et nyttig tips for å gjøre komplekse emner mer tilgjengelige.
Digital detox og bevissthet rundt skjermtid er viktig for å regulere hjernebølger og redusere stress.
Understreker viktigheten av å begrense eksponering for blått lys og digitale distraksjoner.
Påstander
Å tilbringe 30-60 minutter i teta-tilstanden (drømmetilstanden) hver dag kan øke kreativitet og emosjonell velvære.
