 If I could speak to my old self knowing what I know now, I think the one thing I would tell myself is that I love you. Mainly because I feel like I didn't tell myself that enough when I was young. Now I do and I feel the difference. I was disconnected from myself and lost and I found self-love through brain education. My name is Arnell Curito and I'm from Gilbert, Arizona. I found brain education at a health fair that my job was throwing. They had an R reading booth set up and I loved doing any kind of reading. So of course I got one and the person running the readings asked if I wanted to do a yoga class and that's how I found the body and brain centers and that's where I learned brain education. During my first class we did dungeon tapping and feeling energy and it was a very unique experience for me trying Korean yoga for the first time and afterward the instructor asked if I wanted to do a healing session and so I tried it and during the healing session she told me that she could tell I hold a lot of emotion and I remember hearing those words made me want to cry almost. I felt a lot of emotion come up in that moment. This almost as if somebody saw me and I didn't know why I was feeling those emotions. I didn't know what emotions were coming up but it made me curious it made me want to dig deeper and see what was inside of me. So because I'm naturally a very heady person I think a lot I don't spend much time considering my emotions and numbing myself. Feeling for the first time made me really curious I wanted to dig deeper and see what else was inside of me. My greatest change through brain education was learning to feel myself again. I think at a very young age being a boy I was taught not to feel not to feel my emotions and so for the majority of my life I cut those emotions off and I stayed in my head and I figured intelligence would get me farther in life than emotions and I think something that really changed through brain education was I started feeling my body more I started feeling my emotions more and accepting that this is part of me being human and once I started feeling myself more I noticed that my intuition became stronger and what I realized is that my intuition is much stronger and much more powerful than my intelligence. So now I'm much better at following the voice inside of me that knows where I should go and what I should do. Even when it sounds crazy or illogical there is a gut instinct inside of me that knows what I should do in every moment and what choices I should make that I wasn't making before and it always made me unhappy and now that I'm feeling myself more now that I'm trusting myself more and I feel those messages come up that hey you should go and do this even when it sounds illogical I know that it's where I should go and what I should do because I feel it deep inside of me. My favorite brain education exercise is bowing because throughout my time practicing brain education it's the one exercise I always came back to that I felt helped me grow and also to push past my limitations it really helped me to feel my body and my emotions deeper and even now sometimes when I do bowing I cry I release a lot it feels very healing and for me bowing is the perfect mind body spirit exercise when it's done right.
