The brain "floats" in a clear liquid called cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
CSF is a clear, water-like fluid that fills spaces within and around the brain and spinal cord.
An adult typically has about 150 mL of CSF present at any one time, but the body produces much more than that each day because it is constantly renewed.
CSF delivers nutrients, signalling molecules, and hormones to brain tissues and determines the chemical environment neurons need to function properly.
That's the soup your brain swims in and the physical connector between your "mood" and your "intelligence."
When your mood changes, your body chemistry changes - extremely quickly at that. That changes your brain soup and has a powerful effect on how well your brain can function under the circumstances, within its own environmental conditions.
Which is why our brain starts to "wake up" and function better once we hit Plus Three on the Modern Energy Chart.
Which is also why "negative thinking" and endless trauma ruminations create such poor results. The Brain Soup simply becomes too toxic for the poor brain to function correctly and perform its natural logic operations.
It's all connected :-) #modernenergy #mentalhealth
I think the Brain Soup is my response to something I saw is making the social media rounds, the idea of the "broken brain" (because of psychopharmaca) introduced by Jordan Peterson and others.
The broken brain is an absolutely terrible metaphor. Absolutely dreadful. A death metaphor. Hate it.
Brain Soup, on the other hand, is at least potentially agental. It's healing as a metaphor (what do you feed ill people to make them get better?). It is dynamic and reacts to the ingredients you put into your soup. It puts the WHY? into activities such as positive thinking, exercise, better diet, and even meditation. It tells a human being, hey, you're cooking your own brain soup, did you know? You can choose to watch funny TikToks or angry-making TikToks.
Brain Soup is a real connector - between moods and brain, between life and brain, between choices and brain, and as I said, it's dynamic. It's a really cool concept.
Love your brain and let it swim in good brain soup that makes it happy and produce brilliant thoughts and ideas for you!
