6 types of mind enhancing nootropics that you could be taking!

Nootropics AKA Smart Drugs

We may all need it at times. A little pick-me-up that can help stimulate our grey matter.

Smart drugs have fast taken hold in our society. With hectic lifestyles and busy study periods being the norm - quite a few people have noticed they need some extra mental assistance and are turning to nootropics for the answer.

What exactly are nootropics?

Nootropics are supplements that you can take that will enhance and boost your cognitive and mental faculties. They are also widely known as "smart drugs" and many people all over the world take them on a daily basis for increased focus and higher mental functioning.

What are the more common types of nootropics?

Here are 6 types of mind enhancing nootropics that you could be taking:

The Racetams (piracetam, pramiracetam, oxiracetam and aniracetam amongst a few others)
the racetams are known to act as positive allosteric modulators of AMPA receptors - they also have actions on the Acetylcholinergic pathways. They have been used by people to assist them in memory improvements and for better left and right brain intercommunication and cognition.

Piracetam has also been used to treat recovering alcoholics with cognitive impairment.

Vinpocetine - has been marketed for it's vasodilation properties as well as a nootropic that boosts memory formation and recall. It may assist in activities that require increased concentration and focus as it also helps activate cerebral functions and metabolisation.

Ginkgo Biloba - is believed by some people to exhibit nootropic properties and for the most part is used for enhancing memory and concentration and for the treatment of vertigo.

L-Theanine - a main constituent of tea. L-Theanine promotes mental relaxation and stress relief. It has also been shown to improve mood and cognitive abilities as it works in synergy with the natural caffeine that's found in tea.
L-Theanine is a great stress relief tool and helps give you a 'relaxed' type of focus.

Choline Bitartrate - is an essential nutrient needed by our nervous system for the synthesis of Acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is an important neurotransmitter that assists with the transmission of neuron impulses. Acetylcholine is regarded by some mental health professionals as important for memory, cognition and sleep.

Picamilon - is an interesting combination of GABA + Niacin (to help cross the blood-brain barrier easier) generally marketed as a supplement for anxiety/depression/panic and alcohol withdrawal. Some users report great benefits from supplementing Picamilon in their dietary intake. Picamilon helps with blood flow and enhances brain functions. It is considered as a nootropic yet also exhibits some tranquilizing effects (without the lethargy) and can also have psychostimulating effects on some users.


These are just a few examples of some useful nootropics. They can be quite beneficial to your mental health and proper functioning. Always consult an expert physician before you take any supplements and do your homework before taking them.

The reason why life coaching changed my life!

Life coaching is all about discovering your own innate abilities. Bringing out the best in you and helping you to realise what your true purpose is in life

Have you ever felt like you've lost your sense of direction in life?
Drifting through, on a day to day basis... not really knowing where the next step will take you?
Feeling like you're only existing without really living and enjoying every aspect that life has to offer?

With proper life coaching you will be able to harness the power to be your ultimate self. Learning what makes you tick. Understanding your cognitive processes. Also helping others in maximising their own potential too.

Uncover the fog that has set many people on the wrong path. Consider taking life coaching lessons if you wish to achieve more out of life.

Some people find that there's something missing in their lives and most people feel that it's a spiritual thing... so they turn to religion (only to find further disappointment at times)

Be the absolute best you can be by considering taking life coaching. When I met my life coach, John - he was able to rid me of all my emotional pain that I experienced as a kid. I broke through many negative barriers. And like a pheonix I was reborn. I can definately say that it was an experience that has changed my life forever! I'm now able to handle every single situation that has presented itself in my life with flying colours.

I'm now more calm, confident, assertive, well-mannered and not afraid of trying new things in life anymore. It's truly a blessing and something that I would recommend to all readers of mind voyager to consider. There are many life coaching workshops that are available. It would do you great good if you check them out.


Don't settle for anything but the best in life. We all have the power to create and shape our own destinys. Life coaching is truly the answer.

Meditation For Mind And Body Connection

There are plenty of different meditation styles and techniques. You should try a few different meditation techniques out and see what works best for you. It's important that you choose a mediation technique that's both comfortable and compatible to you and your posture.


As what works best for one may not, for another :) it is however, important that you try and maintain the correct meditation posture through-out your practice sessions. At first, this may be harder done than said. But with a little practice, and a little perseverance. It's entirely possible.
 
At the beginning, learn to focus on your breath to stay aware and conscious. After you master this begin to move onto delving deeper into your consciousness... exploring deeper and deeper.


Life Energy

When you inhale you are breathing in fresh energy. It’s good to start a meditation session by focusing on replacing all the air in your lungs, from top to bottom.

With practice, your breathing may become very light once you are into the meditation. According to one study of a Tibetan master of meditation, meditating resulted in needing less oxygen than normal.

Breath Basics
There are a few simple rules to remember about breathing during meditation.

• Don’t forget to breathe. That sounds obvious, but it’s a natural reaction for some people to hold their breath whilst concentrating. Observe your own breathing and see if you do this.
• Breathe through your nose unless directed otherwise.
• Start full. To begin with, breathe right down into the bottom of your lungs. You may get a head rush from the extra oxygenation, but this will pass as your breathing becomes slow and steady.
• Easy does it. Keep if slow and steady at first. Then as your body relaxes allow your breathing to gradually increase.
  
• Don’t gasp for air. As you get into the meditation your breathing should become more gentle and rhythmic. During deep meditation it should be almost imperceptible, just a delicate rising and falling.
