 I was having panic attacks two, three times a day to the point where, like, my sense of reality was just completely washed out because most of my day was spent in this panic state of being, in this state of being where, like, I feel like I have no control over my environment. To me, brain education was what got me out of that cycle and gave me the tools to recreate and reclaim my mental health. I was a depressed teen with severe panic disorder and I reclaimed my mental health through brain education. My name is Rachel Ammar and I'm from Westchester, New York. I got started with brain education when I was a junior in high school. It was the end of my junior year and needless to say, there was a lot of pressure coming from my teachers and parents about college applications and grades and extracurricular activities and X, Y and Z. Aside from the school stress and pressure, I had a lot of my own personal things going on with family and my social life and I was really, really depressed and anxious to the point where I could hardly even focus and concentrate at school because my breath would just become so short and tight. And that was when I decided I really need to do something to better myself and then I found brain education and got started with brain education. My favorite brain education principle is water up, fire down. And the reason is because after spending so much time with fire up, you know, overstimulated like mind and just always anxious and thinking and overthinking. When I learned and felt water up for the first time, I was just like, wow. So this is what it feels like to not have a busy mind. So this is what it feels like to just think clearly. And I was like, this is what I was longing for for so long is just to feel focused and clear and centered. And it's a principle that I really try to apply every day to just come back to being grounded. That's my favorite principle. I think everybody will benefit from brain education. But specifically, I feel like if you are a person who just feels so drained and washed out, like, you know, you have this feeling of like every day is just like you're living day to day to day. And you don't really get get a chance to like rejuvenate and restore and replenish yourself. And it just feels like day and night, day and night, day and night, like the same thing over and over again. And the same like voices, negative chatter in your mind over and over again, the same people. And it's just like you feel like your life is kind of like purposeless, kind of like purposeless. Brain education can help you and can help you find, you know, a space to refill your cup and find a space to like let go of stress and tension. And that anxiety, anxious feeling and just, you know, find what your purpose is and live a more purposeful and fulfilling happy, healthy life. Seeing where I was two years ago before I started with this practice, I would have never thought that I would be able to make it out of that space. I was having panic attacks two, three times a day to the point where like my sense of reality was just completely washed out because most of my day was spent in this panic state of being in this state of being where like I feel like I have no control over my environment. So to me, brain education was what got me out of that cycle and gave me the tools to recreate and reclaim my mental health and learn how to breathe deeply and center my mind and calm down and slow down my thinking. So watching how I was able to pull myself out of that state and seeing where I am now, to me brain education is like hope. It is literally like saving grace. So for the world and for the youth today, brain education is like what will save our generation from being consumed by toxic and fake, superficial and hate and all that stuff like on social media and TikTok and Instagram and like all of that material world. Brain education is what can reprogram us and help us come back to love, acceptance and harmony. That is what brain education means to me. I was a depressed teen with severe panic disorder and I reclaimed my mental health through brain education. If you're looking to get started with brain education, I personally got started at a body and brain yoga and Tai Chi studio where I grew up in Westchester. We have many locations all over. I'm sure you can find one that's close to where you live. And currently I work at Honors Haven, which is our retreat center in upstate New York. It is so incredibly beautiful up here. So come and visit me. Don't put that. No, but seriously, it's really incredible here.
