Introduction
It is well known that the brain senses the well-being or ill health of the body and tries to remedy the latter as best it can. It is less well known that you can alter the brain using several techniques like attention training, mindfulness, breathing techniques, exercise, memory enhancing techniques, meditation and diet to enhance the performance of the brain in promoting our health and well-being.
For example, mindfulness therapy is an emerging, non-pharmacological therapy that involves exercising the human brain to improve learning, memory problems, anxiety and problems with depression.
Dennis S. Charney, MD, Dean of the Mt. Sinai School of Medicine and a world expert in the neurobiology and treatment of mood and anxiety disorders, has said:
‘One of the things that we have found in our research is that in general, we don’t make full use of the capacity of the human brain. We identified that actually initially from hearing from a couple of the POWs [prisoners of war] when they were in solitary confinement. They told us that when they were in solitary confinement for years and all they had was the ability to think that they developed unusual cognitive capacities that they never had before when they were in solitary confinement, like they were essentially exercising their brains.
One individual told us he was able to multiply eventually many numbers by many numbers, 12 numbers by 12 numbers accurately. Never was he able to do that before. Another told us that he was able to remember to very early times in his childhood, like remembering the names of the students in his kindergarten class. Admiral Shoemaker, one of the individuals that we came to admire a lot, built a house in his mind nail by nail, cabinet by cabinet, room by room and then when he got out, he built that house, and when we met him, he was having a fight with his wife because she wanted to renovate the house and he said no way was that going to happen.
That brought home that when you exercise your brain and you don’t have any outside distractions because you’re in solitary, you have enormous capacities. Our research group subsequently hearing about this and others around the country have now taken a tact that through specific exercises we might be able to enhance brain plasticity, or using more of the capacity of the human brain.’
In this book, I have collected several techniques, devised by a wide range of researchers, to strengthen your brain so that it enhances the body’s immune system and its overall health. The techniques are presented below so that you are able to use them when appropriate:

The techniques presented here are provided merely for the purpose of enhancing the readers’ awareness of their health potential, not as prescriptions for curing any specific ailment. Readers are urged to consult their doctor before using them for this purpose. Since humans differ so widely among themselves, it should be clear that the impact of these techniques on various individuals are more than likely to vary as widely.
For the readers’ convenience, I have clubbed the techniques under separate sections, but they often overlap and are not intended to be treated as mutually exclusive.
I hope that whatever is presented here will prove useful to a wide section of readers.
