The anterior midcingulate cortex (aMCC) is a key brain region involved in processing motivation, tenacity, and willpower. Dr. Andrew Huberman explains that this brain area receives input from various systems, including the autonomic nervous system and reward pathways, which contribute to its involvement in tenacity and willpower.

Engaging in challenging tasks helps the aMCC grow and strengthens its activity. This neuroplasticity contributes to enhanced cognitive and decision-making abilities and is a key factor in maintaining mental resilience.

Consistently choosing effort over avoidance reinforces neural pathways that enhance resilience. This process, known as experience-dependent neuroplasticity, means that each time you willingly embrace discomfort and do hard things, you’re shaping your brain.

Huberman notes that the aMCC is a key brain region involved in processing motivation, tenacity, and willpower. Its activity is linked to motivation and resilience, with disruptions leading to apathy and depression.

So, the next time you’re tempted to take the easy route, remember: every act of discipline not only builds character but also strengthens the very neural circuits that make resilience possible.

In his book 📚 “Becoming Supernatural,” Dr. Joe Dispenza explains how to activate the pineal gland, often referred to as the “third eye”. The pineal gland is an actual organ in the brain 🧠 and is responsible for producing melatonin and is linked to spiritual experiences and altered states of consciousness. When properly activated, it is said it can act as a gateway to the divine or as Joe calls it the “quantum field” and ancients called it the higher planes of existence such as the astral and causal planes.

Dr. Dispenza outlines a technique to activate the pineal gland in his book which involves breathwork techniques and moving the cerebral spinal fluid up the body into the third ventricle of the brain where the pineal gland (third eye) is attached to the roof of. The CSF and the pressure created within this ventricle creates a piezoelectric effect from the microcrystals within the pineal gland such as calcite. The explanation is quite complex, I’d suggest looking into Joe’s work to get a deeper and better understanding (as I am no expert myself and probably butchering it).

Dispenza suggests that when this happens, it releases potent neurochemicals such as serotonin and DMT (dimethyltryptamine), which are associated with mystical experiences, vivid dreaming, and transcendental states. He also emphasises the importance of brainwave states, explaining that moving from beta (waking state) to alpha (relaxed state) and theta (meditative state) brainwaves.

⚠️ Please do not practice these methods on your own as a beginner, it is important to learn and practice these techniques under proper guidance from a reputable teacher to ensure safety and effectiveness.

It’s easy to get sucked into online arguments. You’re putting your nervous system into fight-or-flight mode and giving yourself more stress than necessary. Plus you’re probably arguing with a kid, a troll or a bot farm from China.

Want to protect your peace when you’re doom scrolling? Pause before you react next time and take three deep breaths 😮‍💨: inhale through the nose for 4 counts, exhale through the nose for 6.

Shift from blindly reacting to choosing how to response (or not respond). Your nervous system will thank you.

Why does breathing change when fingers are pressed together?

This is the knowledge passed in yogic mudras:

▪️Thumb + index finger:
Activates the lung meridian and parasympathetic system
The diaphragm relaxes, and the breath moves into the abdomen.
This “earthly” breathing is deep and calm.
It reduces internal tension and promotes relaxation.
According to reflexology, the index finger is associated with breathing - it’s no coincidence that it “activates” the abdomen.

▪️Thumb + ring finger:
This is associated with the heart and pericardium meridians.
The activation zone shifts to the chest and solar plexus.
Breathing becomes chest-oriented, slightly shallower.

🧠 Neurophysiology explains it
Fingers are a powerful sensory feedback zone. Their position is read by the brain as a “signal” and triggers specific breathing patterns.
This isn’t magic-it’s a fine-tuning of the nervous system through receptors on the skin.

✨ How to use:
👉🏻 Index finger + thumb - for sleep, meditation, and
recovery.
👉🏻 Ring finger + thumb - for alertness, opening the heart,
and active practice.

🫵🏻 Try it now.
Watch how your breathing changes on its own. If you have heard of mudras and wondered if they are legit or not, you now have real life proof and a scientific explanation for why and how they work!

Pranayama is the practice of yogic breathing 🧘😮‍💨 to boost mental and physical health. Derived from Sanskrit “prana” (vital energy or breath) and “ayama” (control) - it’s detailed in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and Hatha Yoga Pradipika. The process of puraka (inhalation), rechaka (exhalation), and kumbhaka (breath retention) control breathing’s frequency, depth, and ratio. The majority if not all modern breathwork techniques are derived from pranayama. In the video, the late Joseph Campbell gives an introduction.

Ancient sages, through dedicated practice, recognised breath’s influence on the human body and nervous system, a wisdom validated by modern science 🧪.
A 2013 study in the International Journal of Yoga found pranayama enhances parasympathetic activity, reducing heart rate, blood pressure, and stress while promoting calmness and alertness.

Kapalabhati, a rapid breathing method, increases oxygenation and improves cognitive function, per a 2016 study in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research. Bhramari, with its humming exhalation, boosts gamma wave activity for enhanced focus, as shown in a 2019 Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine study. Pranayama also promotes neural plasticity, aiding anxiety and depression by lowering cortisol levels (2017 Frontiers in Immunology). A 2014 study in the International Journal of Yoga Therapy noted improved IQ and social adaptation in children with intellectual disabilities.

If inner child healing could be captured in a photograph 📸

The renowned psychologist Carl Jung was the first to introduce the concept of the inner child, the part of our psyche that holds the memories, emotions, and unmet needs of our early years.

According to Dr Bruce Lipton, during the first six years of life, our brains operate primarily in delta and theta brainwave states, a deeply programmable phase where we absorb experiences without filters. This is when the subconscious mind forms the core beliefs that later shape our adult behaviour.

An inner child wound refers to an adverse childhood experience that shapes how we see ourselves and the world. For instance, a child who experiences emotional neglect or abuse may internalise it as “I am unworthy of love.” These early experiences form subconscious beliefs that influence our adult lives, often showing up as emotional triggers, limiting beliefs, or repeating patterns in relationships. In adulthood, that same belief might manifest as attracting relationships that mirror the pain of childhood, mistaking familiarity for love or safety. Other expressions of inner child wounds include imposter syndrome, fear of success, or self-sabotage, all rooted in early emotional conditioning.

Through my own healing journey and years of working with clients, I’ve seen that true transformation begins by addressing these early imprints. Inner child work helps us revisit and reparent the parts of ourselves that were wounded, meeting that inner child with understanding, compassion, and safety where there was once pain.

As Tom Robbins beautifully said, “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.” Healing is possible at any age with the right modality.

Since 🇭🇰 first opened in 2019, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with them on a range of events, from regular workshops at their wellness sanctuary Asaya to their private members club Carlyle & Co . I’ve hosted workshops there for , members of the Hong Kong swim team, Young Presidents’ Organisation , Hong Kong’s KOLs, and even did one of my Lululemon ambassador photo shoots there.

What I’ve appreciated most is the creative freedom they’ve given me to share breathwork and wellness in my own way. At one point, they even offered me to travel the world teaching at their hotels as their country ambassador, but Covid had other plans.

Every experience with Rosewood has been trusting and supportive. Appreciate you, Rosewood Hong Kong 🫶🏻✨

During meditation, do you ever notice that:

1️⃣ You feel restless and cannot sit still
2️⃣ You feel sleepy or start drifting off
3️⃣ Or you feel fully present, calm and clear

These experiences are influenced by the three gunas, the fundamental qualities of nature that shape everything in the universe, including the mind. Your mind constantly shifts between these qualities:

🫨 Rajas – activity, restlessness, and agitation, pulling the mind outward
😴 Tamas – inertia, heaviness, and dullness, pulling the mind downward
🙂 Sattva – balance, clarity, harmony, and lightness, allowing the mind to be calm, alert, and present

The aim of meditation is to cultivate sattva, so the mind can rest naturally in stillness and clarity.

You can build sattva in daily life through simple habits:

🍉 Diet: clean
🛌 Sleep: optimal
🧘 Mindfulness: daily
👣 Movement: gentle
🌿 Environment: calm
👁️ Actions: conscious

The more sattva you cultivate, the easier it becomes to experience effortless stillness, clarity, and presence during meditation.
