Use Qigong to recharge the exhausted brain

Recently, I discovered the book "The Exhausted Brain" by Dr. Michael Nehls. The title sums up very well what I perceive in many people when their mental energy decreases: Prolonged sitting, not enough exercise, unhealthy diet, information overload, too many challenges, and worrying. Many people don't take the time to recharge their batteries.

Mental Brain Battery

Dr. Michael Nehls investigates in his book why the performance of our brain continues to decline. He calls this: "Mental brain battery", which is located in the frontal brain, the so-called hippocampus. According to Dr. Nehls, this battery does not only provide the energy for planning, decision-making and executing new ideas. Its capacity directly relates to self-esteem, stamina, psychological resilience and ability to cope with new challenges.

Recharging Your Battery

When asked what you can do to recharge your mental energy, Nehls answers: "To charge the frontal brain battery, good sleep is enough. To stimulate its growth, we need to activate some hormonal messengers."

From the Zhineng Qigong perspective, an exhausted brain, worries and negative permanent thoughts have two causes: You either have too little Qi (life force) in your mental energy storage, or you have acquired negative thought patterns that have become a habit.
