Nurture Their Nature

Vagus Nerve & RAS Vibrating Alta Major Chakra (*aka God Awareness Chakra)
The Reticular Activating System (RAS)- is a network of neurons (hyper-, hypo-, or, varied)
located in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to mediate behavior such
as sleep, memory, and learning; as well as, both posteriorly to the thalamus and directly to the
cortex for activation of awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns. It is holistically and
spiritually known from being a center “where we can create our own reality” whether positive,
negative or neutral. Knowing: What we focus on in our mind (thymus), pons (dream center) then
comes to fruition here in our RAS.
The ACC (see top)- is part of RAS (Pineal Gland, Pituitary Gland) associated with the alta
major chakra and shame.
HPA (see top)-(Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Adrenal Axis) associated with the soma chakra
and anger.
Both are associated with the thymus chakra aka vagus nerve chakra.
Note: Important RAS info. includes the following excerpt... ‘The RAS is said to be the gas pedal
[slow (hypo-), accelerate (hyper-) or varied cognitive speed processing] that ignites the
diencephalon (the hypothalamus and thalamus) as well as the cortical areas [where all longterm
memory/storage takes place] of the brain’ (Petty 1996).
Corpus callosum- links both hemispheres and to varying degrees. Hence students might have
a lateral cognitive dominance of the functioning system- the students with the right-hemisphere
dominance have Parasympathetic Functional System Dominance (PFD) and might have
dysphonetic dyslexia because language and analysis (break down category and sequencing)
which is a left-hemisphere task: therefore, students with right-hemisphere dominance might
