Mastering Your Mental Experience Retreat

Many people in the world have a belief in a Supreme Deity. The desire for the divine and the promises it holds for many involves a large divergence in neurological processes and behaviors from ones upbringing or surrounding environment. Many people will adhere to particular doctrines, prayers, supplications and other religious practices; others have a strong sense that they are part of a greater universal experience. However, no matter what the experience; all religious and spiritual paths are mediated by the brain. This one day retreat was created to help enhance your thoughts through the understanding of how the mind works and how you can master it; your mentality can create your reality.

7AM — Breakfast

* Fruits and juices made to awaken/brighten spirit and energize the mind, along with a serving of banana, dates & nuts smoothie. Coconut water at leasure throughout the day.

* BANANA – The vitamins, minerals and amino acids in bananas play a role in keeping your brain functioning at its optimal level. Bananas help overcome depression due to high levels of tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin — the happy-mood brain neurotransmitter. Bananas supply potassium to the brain, helping to keep oxygen levels normalized and also promoting strong signals between cells.

* NUTS – Any type of nut or seed you can think of, are good for your brain. Nuts and seeds are full of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids, as well as folate, vitamin E, and vitamin B6. All of these nutrients allow you to think more clearly. They also help you think more positively, because Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids work as natural antidepressants. Some seeds and nuts are also full of thiamine and magnesium, which are great for memory, cognitive function, and brain nourishment.

* DATES – Dates contain a brain booster. Each little date contains over two milligrams of choline, a B vitamin that’s a component in acetylcholine, the memory neurotransmitter. Higher choline intake is associated with better memory and learning, making it a key nutrient for children and older adults at risk for Alzheimer’s.

* PURE COCONUT WATER – Helps Keep You Hydrated . Coconut supports immune system function by helping the body to defend itself against a slew of viruses and bacteria. Its greatest role supports brain function, keeping it healthy and thriving into our golden years. The coconut tree, coconut palm is the Tree of Life. and with good reason.
