Hello Professor, this was illuminating, however, the answer on how to harmonize the different parts of the brain is still somewhat vague to me. Would you be able to help clarify?

[@TechnicalAnalysisInstitute]

Thank you for your feedback! I’m glad you found the video illuminating. To clarify how to harmonize the different parts of the brain, think of it like this: our conscious desires often stem from the left side of the brain, which is logical and analytical. However, to achieve our goals, we need to communicate these desires to the unconscious parts of our brain, which speak different "languages." For example, if you want to become thinner, it’s not enough to just think or say, "I want to lose weight." You need to create a vivid mental image of yourself as a thinner person. This visual image communicates with the right brain, which processes patterns and visual information. Similarly, you can use emotions to communicate with the mid-brain, which deals with feelings. Imagine the emotions you would feel as a thinner, healthier person - the joy, confidence, and energy. This emotional visualization helps to align the mid-brain with your goal. Lastly, incorporate physical actions that reinforce this image and emotion, which speaks to the brain stem. For instance, engaging in activities like exercise or healthy eating can reinforce the message to all parts of your brain. By using these different "languages" - images, emotions, and actions - you create a comprehensive message that harmonizes your entire brain towards achieving your goal. Now you need to apply the same idea to your trading goals. I hope this helps to clarify! Let me know if you have any more questions.

Ah, thank you. It’s hard to believe that visualizing leads to anything unless you understand that it might be your conscious brain speaking to the unconscious. Did I get that right? But aren’t actions only possible once you are already capable of understanding both? Or is it more like a „fake it till you make it“ situation? Sorry to be a pain, I just feel like there’s something here I don’t want to miss.

[@TechnicalAnalysisInstitute]

You're absolutely right; it can seem challenging to believe that visualization alone can lead to significant changes. The key idea here is that visualization is a powerful tool to communicate your conscious desires to the unconscious parts of your brain, which often drive your automatic behaviors and responses. When you visualize, you’re effectively sending a message to the unconscious mind in a language it understands - images and emotions. This helps to align your unconscious mind with your conscious goals. So, it’s not just about "faking it till you make it," but rather reprogramming your brain to support your conscious intentions. Actions play a crucial role in this process. They help to reinforce the visual and emotional messages you’re sending. Think of it as a feedback loop: visualization and emotions set the intention, and actions confirm and strengthen that intention. By repeatedly engaging in this cycle, you gradually change your patterns and behaviors. In our psychology course, we teach different techniques to help with this communication. For instance, we use memories because in the memories we have incorporated all the languages at once. But these techniques require more details and the guidance of an expert coach to implement effectively. You don't need to fully understand or feel capable of everything from the beginning. Starting with visualization and small, consistent actions can build momentum and gradually align all parts of your brain. Over time, this can lead to more substantial and lasting changes. I hope this clarifies things a bit more! Feel free to ask any further questions - I'm here to help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain this, I am so grateful for everything your teachings have brought me so far- even this, seeming rather intangible and less „logical“ than the actual strategies we usually get on this channel- it’s absolute gold! Thank you, Professor!

You're very welcome! And you're right. Ultimately, it is this type of knowledge what determines the success of traders. However, as the story goes, traders often search for answers where the light is better, even though they lost the keys elsewhere.
