[8:57 PM, 12/26/2019] Jiten Patel: Visualization techniques can help you to Sell at Market Top.....
Visualization is a technique which can help you to connect New Neurons with the existing neural synaptic networks for respective Stimuli or it helps to create a New Neural synaptic Networks circuit altogether......
The brain perceives whatever thoughts you have in your mind to be real even though it might not happen in reality.... Neurologically the brain is designed accordingly that whatever thoughts we think repetitively we start thinking it to be real.....
Neurologically brain doesn't come to know the difference between the perceived reality of our thinking that is our thoughts and the Reality itself......
So more your thoughts is Visualising about a stimuli to happen in the future the more the so called Neural synaptic Network circuits bond together and starts forming stronger and stronger Circuits......The continuous Repetition of Visualising about the thought will make this neural synaptic networks strong and your mind and brain will start to work in the direction of the Visualization of that particular thought......
Slowly but gradually the mind body brain coordination will work towards the direction of the Visualization of that particular thought.....
And so whenever such a Stimuli happens in the External Environment in the future your brain mind and body are already aware of that stimuli because you had thought and visualized of such things happening in the future......
Now how can it help us during Market Tops.....
You decide for yourself and use your brain and take the help of Visualization to achieve the goal of selling at the Market Top and thereafter waiting patiently for market to fall......

On this week’s blog, we share a guest post from Dr. Amy Palmer. Enjoy :-)
It’s funny how life works. On a whim, I came to a marina to write this blog. There was no strategy behind it; it was the first nice day of spring, so instead of working at my office, I grabbed a notepad and headed to the marina.
As I settled into my Adirondack chair and looked at the docked boats, I thought “How beautiful! I would love a boat of my own one day.” I started imagining myself on a boat with family and friends, soaking up the sun and enjoying the beauty of Mother Nature.
Because I know the power of visualization, I automatically started to feel and imagine every detail:
How the sun feels on my skin
The salty smell of the sea
The sound of gentle waves crashing over the boat
The feel of the rhythmic rocking motion of the boat
The sound of adults and children laughing
The sight and sound of birds soaring overhead
The feel of the breeze through my hair
And with all of these sensations, I leaned into the feeling of pure joy and gratitude…
So, before I had even pulled out my notepad to start a blog on visualization, I had unintentionally practiced it myself.
All I can say is that the Universe works in awesome ways.
Chances are, if you are reading this blog, you already know (or at least suspect) that a visualization is a powerful tool you can use to achieve your goals.
But did you know that there are neuroscientific reasons that support the power of visualization?
As a neuropsychologist well versed in how the brain works, I am very grateful for this opportunity to share my knowledge with you.
Did you know that mentally rehearsing and imagining movements shares the same brain mechanism as actually doing these same movements? Simply put, the brain has the same activity when it visualizes doing an action as it does when it is physically performing the action. We see elite athletes use visualization all the time. In fact, many Olympic athletes work with sport psychologists and use visualization as part of their strategy. If visualization is part of a winning strategy for Olympic athletes, there’s no reason why it can’t be a part of your winning strategy as well!
Another neuroscientific reason why visualization can help you achieve your goals relates to the brain’s Reticular Activating System (RAS). By using visualization daily, your brain will more readily allow any opportunities to meet your goals into your conscious awareness. Here’s how: the RAS is a bundle of neurons that have several functions, including being a gatekeeper that decides what information is brought into your conscious awareness.
Think about it… we are bombarded with millions of bits of information every second, and if we were paying attention to all of them, we would have major sensory overload! While our subconscious can process about 11 million bits of information per second, we can only consciously process between 40 and 120 bits of information per second! Therefore, your brain must filter out irrelevant information and only allow information into your consciousness that (1) will keep you safe and (2) is of interest to you. You can help your RAS know what is important by using visualization to keep your goals in the forefront of your conscious awareness.
I don’t know about you, but I plan on reminding my RAS what is important by visualizing my goals several times a day!
Here are some recommendations to get the most out of your visualization practice:
1. Be Specific: Make your visualization as real as possible! If you want a new kitchen, visualize every detail, from the brand of appliances to the shape and color of the cabinet drawer handles. And don’t forget to incorporate your five senses. How does the marble countertop feel to the touch? What do the cookies baking in the oven smell like? How do they taste? What sounds would you hear when friends and family gather in your new kitchen? What does the backsplash look like?
2. Be Emotional: We all know that gratitude allows more wonderful things into our life to appreciate. And by adding emotion to our visualization, we tap into our brain’s limbic system, making our visualization even more powerful.
3. Be Frequent: To keep your goals front and center in your brain’s conscious and unconscious awareness, I recommend visualization at least twice a day.
Happy Visualizing
[11:35 PM, 12/26/2019] Jiten Patel: Creative Visualization: The Neurology of How it Works — And How to Make It Work for You!
What Creative Visualization Is
Before we dive in, let’s consider your average day. When you first wake up in the morning, you probably imagine yourself going throughout your morning routine. If not, it’s a good bet that you’re probably imagining yourself doing other things.
At some point during your day, your mind probably wanders and you daydream about the past, present, or future.
As you look at your grocery list, you likely have a pretty good, general picture of where each item on the list is located within the store, allowing you to plan what to get first, second, and so on.
Creative visualization is a little bit different in that, instead of your mind just naturally wandering wherever it wants to, you actively focus your attention of forming those images in your mind — things that you want to accomplish or do better at.
This practice, as the Huffington Post defines it, is “the practice of seeking to affect the outer world by changing one’s thoughts and expectations.”
Real-World Examples: The Proof is in the Putting
As you’ve probably guessed from the pun in the sub-title, sports psychology is probably one of the most prominent areas where the effectiveness of creative visualization can be seen.
For example, in an interview with Golf Digest, Tiger Woods’ caddie attributed the exceptional quality of Tiger’s golf swing to his mental practice, his practice of visualizing how he wanted his shot to be, rather than his actual physical practice.
According to an article in Psychology Today, Andre Agassi, winner of the 1992 Wimbledon, said his win was like a “deja vu experience,” because since childhood, he’d been imagining the win innumerable times.
In medicine, researchers have found compelling evidence suggesting that, since the same neural pathways are activated while visualizing movement as are when actually performing the movement, creative visualization may prove to be helpful in the rehabilitation of stroke victims.
Also in the medical field, some recommend creative visualization as an effective alternative treatment for those who suffer from anxiety or panic attacks.
In the business or educational realm, some colleges even recommend creative visualization as a valuable tool for helping students to visualize their success by helping them to creatively imagine different aspects of their future careers.
Tune in next week, where we take our investigation further, exploring exactly how this works in a persons brain — and how you can make it work for you!
Neuroplasticity: The Power of the “Plastic” Brain
The human brain is made up of billions of neurons — nerve cells that, when strung together, form neural pathways. The capability of our brains to form, organize, and reorganize these pathways as a result of injury, damage, or sensory stimulation is called neuroplasticity.
What’s really interesting about neuroplasticity is that you have a measure of control on the formation of these pathways. By activating them regularly, such as with creative visualization, you strengthen them. Conversely, by not activating them, you weaken them as a result of what’s call synaptic pruning.
Another interesting fact about this process is that creative visualization, when done properly, has virtually the same effect on the neural pathways as doing the real thing! The mechanisms in your brain that forge these new paths can’t tell the difference between an imagined event or real one, so long as the visualized image is powerful enough.
Neuroplasticity: A Two-Way Street
One very important consideration is that creative visualization can work either for you or against you, depending on how you work it. If, for example, you let your mind replay negative memories, if you allow yourself to imagine disastrous outcomes, or if you allow yourself to repeatedly engage in other unhealthy mental habits, then you’ll strengthen the associated pathways.
On the other hand, if you train your brain to focus on the good, if you visualize yourself performing as desired, if you repeatedly imagine performing something exactly how you want to, then you’ll strengthen those pathways and weaken the others.
Creative Visualization: 5 Easy Tips for Forging Positive Images
Get relaxed. Research has shown that a relaxed state is more conductive to learning than a stressed one.
Practice regularly. The more frequently you activate those neural pathways, the denser the neural connections will become.
Use all five senses. Don’t just imagine what it will look like. Make the imagery as vivid as possible. What does it smell, feel, sound, or taste like?
Plan ahead. You may not always know what to expect, such as in a business meeting, interview, or presentation, but you can, however, control how you react to the unforeseen. If you’re uncertain, try imagining what “could” happen, and visualize yourself calmly responding to a variety of possible scenarios.
Replace your negativity. Our inner critic is rarely our friend; it likes to remind us of our faults, our errors. Instead of replaying a scene where you made a mistake, think of how you could or should have reacted. Then, as vividly as possible, replay the scene — except this time, creatively visualize yourself doing it right.
[11:49 PM, 12/26/2019] Jiten Patel: Neuroscience Tells Us How to Hack Our Brains for Success
Tricks like visualization and writing down your goals have a strong basis in science.
Neuroscience Tells Us How to Hack Our Brains for Success
What’s the secret to success? Some would argue that insanely successful people possess traits like having a vision, showing gratitude, being honest, learning from failure and having a high emotional intelligence.
While these traits definitely play a role, the real secret to success comes down to science, particularly advancements in neuroscience, and how you can condition your brain to achieve your dreams and goals.
The neuroscience of success can get complicated, but it’s really about how your brain functions in three different areas: reticular activating system (RAS), the release of dopamine and your memory. If you’re not a science person, I’ll try and make this all as painless as possible.
Related: How to Hack Your Brain Chemicals to Be More Productive
The Reticular Activating System
Located at the base of the brain where it connects with the spinal cord, there’s one of most important parts of the brain: the reticular activating system.
RAS influences cognition and is basically a filter for the roughly eight million bits of information (subconsciously) flowing through our brain. In other words, it eliminates the white noise. When a message gets past the RAS filter it enters the cerebrum and is then converted into conscious thoughts, emotions or even both.
As Ruben Gonzalez, author of The Courage to Succeed, explains, “Even though the cerebrum is the center of thought, it will not respond to a message unless the RAS allows it. The RAS is like Google. There are millions of websites out there, but you filter out the ones you are not interested in simply by typing a keyword.”
So, what messages get through? Pretty much just the ones that are currently important to you. For example, if you’re focused on preparing for a speaking engagement then your RAS is going to filter in the thoughts that are going to make your presentation a success, such as the tools and resources you’ll need to deliver a memorable speech.
As Gonzalez adds, “This means the more you keep your goals ‘top of mind,’ the more your subconscious mind will work to reach them. That’s why writing your goals down every day, visualizing your intended outcome and regularly saying affirmations is so important! Doing those things truly does help you to focus your subconscious mind on what’s important to you.”
Related: The Extraordinary Power of Visualizing Success
Dopamine feedback loops
While RAS can help you focus on the desired outcome you’d like to receive, the release of dopamine is what makes success feel oh-so-good.
As Mark Lukens, founding partner of Method3, wrote recently, “When we succeed at something, our brains release chemical rewards, the most important of which is the neurotransmitter dopamine, a chemical best known for the role it plays in addiction and drug use.” Dopamine, despite this negative association, “is a natural part of how our brains function, producing the sensation of pleasure whenever you taste coffee or chocolate, or when you achieve a big win.”
Because of this, it makes sense that “dopamine is strongly connected to motivation, driving us to repeat the behaviors that create that rush, even when we aren’t experiencing it.” However, the dopamine response is short-term, but since our brains remember how awesome it was before, we strive to seek it out over and over again.
That’s when dopamine loops enter the picture. After you’ve experienced repeated success the pleasure you initially had gets smaller and smaller. Think of it this way: After you’ve already beaten a video game, it just doesn’t feel as good the second or third time, right? That’s when you seek bigger rewards,…
