Did you know you have three brains?

If I asked you to use your brain, you’d assume I was referring to the grey matter between your ears, wouldn’t you?

But what if I told you that you have more than one brain in your body? That in fact you have three?  If that sounds a bit far fetched then read on to learn what I mean and why this is important.

Neuroscience research shows us that we have complex, adaptive and fully functional neural networks in our heart and gut. These neural networks have many of the same features as our head brain, including the ability to learn and change.

Our head brain is the most complex and the largest of the three, but the gut and heart brains are significant in their own rights.

Here are just a couple of cool facts:

- Case studies of patients who have had heart transplants show us that the heart brain has the ability to hold memories.  Some recipients of heart transplants have taken on the tastes and preferences of their donor.

- The gut brain has approximately the same number of neurons as the brain of a cat.  And if you’ve ever had a cat as a boss, you’ll understand just how clever and complex it is!

Now that we are beginning to understand more about the functions of the heart and gut brains, we are discovering that when we learn, remember and make decisions, it doesn’t only happen in the head.

Finally we have an explanation why something can make perfect sense, but just not feel right.

Or why sometimes you feel you know you what really want but find it hard to take action.

The way our multiple brains communicate and operate with each other is vital for success and happiness. Habits, learned behaviours and patterns may mean our brains are not aligned, which can lead to internal conflict or struggle.

The field of mBraining was developed by Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu from analysing and synthesising thousands of pieces of literature and research.

mBraining is the process of aligning and harnessing the power of your multiple brains.

The suite of practical methods it provides is called mBIT - multiple Brain Integration Techniques.

Learning about mBraining or being coached by an mBIT coach supports you to work actively with your whole intelligence for faster, better and more lasting results.
