The Brain Clearing Experiment

We need to get things out of our head into the external world so that we can really allow our brains to flourish and to and to think clearly. We do know from work in my laboratory and others, that if you can enter a second attentional mode that we call the mind wandering mode, or the default mode network, instead of you trying to control your thoughts, thoughts are just a going wherever they want to go. If you stay in that mode for ten or 15 minutes, it creates slow, low frequency brain waves which help us to consolidate information and consolidate memories. And when you go back to a task, you're more refreshed, and energy supplies in the brain have been restored.
