Saturday 23d of May Psychographic Landscapes (part 1)
—————————42 HOURS TO LAUNCH——SELF CONTROL
CALIGRAPHY (SHODO)
#Calligraphy, cursive writing, activates the parasympathetic nervous system and the brain specialised neurological pathways for cognitive control.
Act-Flow State Connectivity.
The physical connection between letters mirrors the connection between thoughts. The brain must anticipate the shape of the next letter while completing the current one. FLUX
Act-Higher-Order Integration—————- Universalism . . This fluid movement stimulates the brain's left and right hemispheres simultaneously. It integrates visual, tactile, and motor regions in ways that typing cannot replicate.
Act-The Reticular Activating System (RAS). Writing by hand heavily stimulates the RAS, the brain's filtering mechanism. This signals to your mind that the specific task requires ultimate focus, filtering out peripheral distractions.
Act-Proprioceptive Memory——————-
The complex fine motor skills needed to balance a brush or steady a cursive loop require massive neural real estate. This heavy processing load forces the brain to quiet its frantic "monkey mind" loops, dropping the heart rate and inducing a state of calm.
