General
Many books recommend verbally repeating affirmations or mantras, but writing them down is much, much more effective. Once we write something down, we give our thoughts tangible form, so that piece of paper serves as proof. We have a saying that perfectly captures the importance of writing: “Words fly away, but writing remains.”
Writing is a slower process than speaking. Because we write letter by letter, we allow our brains to slow down and focus on letters, words, and sentences for a longer period of time. As is well known, slowing down improves concentration.
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BRAIN AND THE HANDS
In this way, the sentences that make up our mantra become more deeply ingrained in the brain. By writing them down—rather than simply reciting our mantras as if they were memorized phrases without really processing them—we achieve more effective results. Our hands are among our most powerful organs when it comes to influencing the brain. There is a direct path, a direct channel, between the brain and the hands.
As you know, deaf and mute people use this channel to communicate through hand gestures. Hands are also one of the most important factors in reading body language. Whether the hands are closed, open, or clenched into fists provides very important clues for understanding a person’s thoughts.
FINGERPRINTS ARE UNIQUE
We also often use hand gestures when we want to control animals. This is because we send signals directly to their brains in this way. No two fingerprints are alike; each one is unique. Signatures cannot be forged, and if they are, it’s obvious. We can discern a person’s character from their handwriting. We can analyze their quality of life, worldview, health, and so on.
When we write, we use our sense of touch—that is, our hands. We touch as we write; we mustn’t forget that. We use the direct communication pathway between our hands and our brain. Our eyes also perceive this communication, and with their help, we store what we write in our memory. And, of course, we’re thinking at the same time.
And most importantly, we do all of this at the same time. As a result, the impact of writing is many times greater than that of verbal repetition. Thanks to this method, the thoughts we want to convey to our subconscious penetrate to the deepest levels. In short, by writing, you take the wheel of your life, take it into your own hands, and control it with ease.
