I especially like this quote: 

“The more you focus on something — whether that's math or auto racing or football or God — the more that becomes your reality, the more it becomes written into the neural connections of your brain.”

Andrew Newberg, neuroscientist

And I haven't even read all of this article yet... so much to read today here on this site, like from you and from Jasmine! Today on iThou is an educational experience for me. (Yet isn't it always?).  

I am checking out the brain INTERACTIVE part.

I will comment again, later, when I have checked all of this out. 

Thank you, D
