If a brain has become restless WHO calms down the brain?

Question

Its a common observation. When a brain is getting restless maybe due to some traumatic condition. Who is going to help it relax. The brain itself or someone with in you? Is it brain itself? I doubt it. Lets assume that someone suggested to your brain that do some meditation but WHO is accepting the suggestion. It it brain again? Isn't there an actor involved at all? Who is deciding what is good or bad for him? Then why does the response vary from individual. Is it the genes (I am not good at genes and not sure if genes really help in this case) that help him make this decision that letting it go is going to help him. Assuming genes helped, how did this genes even develop that ability in the first place the understanding that letting it go is going to get me out of this trauma? Is it possible that spiritual healers' suggestions have helped us come out of that or is it that our brains have that inbuilt? Isn't there an actor that has some intellect?

Not ecky boy: That may not help if one STILL prefers to accept trauma. There has to be decision to give it away.

Answer 1

Many nutrients are involved in the synthesis and repair of DNA, processes essential for the manufacture of new cells, including brain cells. Many of these same nutrients also serve as the chemical building blocks of neurotransmitters or coenzymes involved in neurotransmitter production.

Chronic stress places a greater demand on these nutrients and can diminish their levels. One consequence is an inhibition of both DNA synthesis and the production of new brain cells. Stress can also reduce neurotransmitter production and set the stage for depression, anxiety, or panic attacks. When chronic stress is combined with nutrient deficiencies because of poor eating habits the risk of mood disorders can increase.

Eating Habits -

When you eat too many sugars and refined carbohydrates, or when you skip a meal, you feel your blood sugar drop. Low blood sugar impairs your concentration and judgment, leaves you tired and fuzzy-headed, and sometimes makes you feel irritable. These symptoms often disappear after you eat something and your blood sugar rises.

Part of the solution is emphasizing a diet rich in protein and non starchy, high-fiber vegetables. Both protein and fiber help stabilize blood-sugar and insulin levels, which will help even out mood swings.

Protein has at least two benefits: it has little effect on blood-sugar levels, and some of the amino acids in it are used to construct neurotransmitters. Fiber slows the absorption of carbohydrates, thus moderating the swings in blood-sugar and insulin levels.

B Vitamins

B-complex vitamins has been long been known as the anti stress nutrients. Some of the B vitamins are involved in DNA-synthesis and repair process, necessary for the production of new cells in the brain and throughout the body. Many of the B vitamins, such as vitamin B6, are needed for the body's production of brain calming neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, taurine, and gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA).

David Benton, Ph.D., professor at the University of Wales, found that 50 mg of vitamin B1 daily helped otherwise health young adults feel more composed and energetic.

If you tend to be depressed or edgy, take a high potency B-complex supplement that includes 25 to 50 mg of vitamin B1.

Inositol

Several clinical studies have found that inositol, a nutrient related to B vitamins, can be a great benefit in panic attacks, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder.


Vitamin C

Vitamin C is crucial to health and most people don consume enough of it. It's recommended to take a minimum of 500 mg of supplemental vitamin C daily.

Theanine

Theanine (an amino acid) has a powerful anti caffeine, brain calming effect. In fact, theanine may account for the many health benefits of tea, from promoting relaxation to lowering the risk of heart disease and cancer.

Gamma-Amino Butyric Acid (GABA)

This amino acid also functions as a neurotransmitter, and nutritionally oriented physicians often use GABA to treat anxiety. GABA helps the brain filter out distracting signals - background noise, so to speak - that impair thinking.. For use as a supplement, take 500 4,000 mg of GABA daily.


Tryptophan and 5 Hydroxy-Tryptophan

Tryptophan supplements are available only by prescription in the United States. Nonprescription tryptophan supplements have been replaced by 5-HTP, a closely related compound that is a precursor to serotonin. Like tryptophan, 5-HTP has brain calming, anti anxiety, and antidepressant benefits - and an exceptional safety record. For use as a supplement, take 300 to 400 mg before bedtime.

Answer 2

The brain needs to rest. The brain is very mysterious and not understood fully. Your brain has a LOT of power but you need to learn how to unleash it.

There's so many distractions in life your brain just needs to have some peace and rest. YOU help calm your brain down. You decide to meditate and you help out your brain. There is no actor involved :P

You need to let your brain rest and learn about all the power that is hidden inside your head. It is there, ready to be used, you just have to unlock it.

For example ordinary people can unlock their 6th sense and have powerful intuition.

Angry people can learn to be as calm and peaceful as a bunny.

Pick what you want and you can achieve it.

Answer 3

Organise the brain - A wise man once told me to use the brain like a Storage facility.. ( Think of the end of raiders of the lost ark!) whatever problems you have if you dont want to deal with it at a particular time or its getting you down put the problem in a box and store it somewhere in your brain warehouse - Re-open it when you need to. Easy really but its a great way to deal with your issues - works for me . ;-)

Answer 4

As long as you insist on being other than whole yet cry about it try pulling yourself together and realize that you are that whole thing. You are an individual social being, a specific level and qualititavly original form of being called human. To be dissasociated as you are you have a lot to do to bring yourself back to center. Probably the hardest work you will ever do in your life. If you manage you will understand what was meant when Jesus said with faith you can move mountains. Right now it sounds like you have more than a mountain to move. You have to move yourself, a far harder thing to do than you can imagine. Otherwise stay as you are and enjoy the ride.

Answer 5

The brain is divided up into two parts. The right and the left. They do not shut down all at one time unless you become unconscious. The other side is up if one side is down.

Answer 6

The brain is an organ of the body. The mind is the "I" or the "self" and you know it as "other" than the brain because you can say, "My brain, ..." Life is problematic and painful, but you can think things through and you can explore solutions. You have time to do so. There are many who can help. May you find them.

Answer 7

How many brains do you have? It is the brain that controls the brain.

Answer 8

might I suggest that Diazepam may be appropriate for your condition.
