After being on the CIST protocol for 10 days I’ve made some changes.
Future Visualisation
I’ve added Composition. Spend some time trying to write a song! I got this from Oliver Sacks book called ‘Musicophilia’ in a chapter called “Pitch Imperfect:Cochlear Amusia” It’s a great read! All about a piano player who couldn’t hear notes properly and when he started composing his brain fixed itself.
Oliver Sacks writes
“And I, as a neurologist, am filled with wonder that the retuning in his musician’s brain has been able to counterbalance the patchy and inconstant output from his aging cochleas, that through intensive musical activity, attention, and will, Jacob’s brain has literally reshaped itself.”
‘Composition’
I’ve combined ‘Future Visualisation’ and ‘Positive Emotion’ into one thing. I wasn’t sure clear on what they were exactly, especially as I tried to start them. They were something I got from my wife from something she did called DNRS. Research DNRS if you are interested. I asked for permission to write about it but they said no it was copyright which is fair enough. Basically it is visualising a future state of when you can hear well, and associating positive emotions with that, by recalling past good times, so as to encourage your brain to heal.
