In many ways the brain resembles a symphonic orchestra.  The orchestra contains various sections; the wind, brass, string and percussion etc.  As each section plays, it does so with a tempo and volume which resonates across the field of musicians creating a melodic and harmonious symphony of beautiful rhythm.  Similarly, the brain appears to work better or more optimally when all lobes and regions are playing well together.

When one area of the brain is dominating and playing to loudly other areas specializing in diverse functions, are unable to be "heard", meaning that their overall effect is subdued resulting in any number of pathologies: sleep disturbances, problems with focusing and attention, unable to be spontaneous, & problems with digestion to name a few.

I mentioned this in a previous blog, but want to emphasis the need to create balance not only in our life, but our brain requires the same kind of nurturing to achieve a similar balance as well.

Happy balancing!
