When someone refers to the reptile secton of the brain, they could just mean that the reptile brain which governs our involuntary actions such as breathing and blinking (though other parts of my brain can also make me blink) Can also govern reflexes such as those of a soccer goal keeper who hits the ball away without thinking or a baseball hitter (is that the right word im from UK) who swings without consciously seeing the ball.
Some people think you can add to that reaction through constant training like wot we do. Howeer I have a feeling the section of the brain governing this is not the lizard at all. in fact modern studies show that no one section operates on it’s own.
as for training yout Yang, I think there are pumps you can get for that on the internet.
Holy shit! There has to be a prize for that necro, oldest I’ve seen anyway.
Although I have seen this reptile brain thing referenced before, it had something to do with intuition and that we voluntarily dismiss it due to societal conditioning. If you are in tune with your reptile brain it supposedly senses danger well ahead of the higher conscious, allowing increased awareness and thus, as above, better reaction time.
Minus a few regulars that were purposely trolling, like 3moose1, most search out their new dojo.
The crappier the school or questionable the teacher the more likely older threads get bumped. Most of the time a poster becomes so enraged that they post away instead of looking at the date.
My favorite, to date, is the anger directed at a banned member. They keep asking said member a question, getting angrier and angrier when they don’t respond.
