With fall and its back to school activities, the risk of feeling scattered and overwhelmed is high. Sometimes we even feel a little “crazy” and our mental health starts to waver. It’s hard to find time to relax even though we know that’s what will help to truly put things in perspective so we can accomplish what needs to be done. This, most probably, is an indicator that your right brain is over active. You may be tempted to take something to slow things down some, opening you to substance abuse or medication dependence. You can relax your brain in another way. In this scenario, Brainwave Optimization, which reads surface measures of brain electrical activity, would probably show you high-frequency asymmetry at the temporals. BWO, with its auditory tones to facilitate the auto-calibration of brain activity, will have you functioning more harmoniously, so you can make more conscious, rewarding decisions.
