You will notice in the diagram below that specific sensory information comes into the RAS and the outflow goes to the entire cortex of the brain, waking it up and preparing it for the work is has to do.

The RAS is involved in almost everything we do.

All learning requires at least a minimal level of arousal in order to attend, concentrate, remember and put learning into memory storage.

The ability to regulate emotions, which often feed into behavioral issues, and also   depends upon sufficient levels of cortical arousal to inhibit impulses and to control strong emotions.  Under-aroused children tend to be fussy, irritable, difficult to manage and are unavailable for learning.

Are you having the practice of ‘Thinking out loudly’ or ‘Talking to yourself’?

Literally thinking out loud means that someone is verbalizing an internal monologue (or dialogue) ; thinking about something and, possibly inadvertently, saying it out loud. The phrase is mostly used when someone else hears it and thinks the person is talking to him or herself.

Some people are having the habit of ‘thinking loudly’ by speaking out their mind voice without minding about the presence of others. Such loud thinking practice comes out automatically even when they are conscious.

Psychologist says that such loud thinking practice is a sort of freelance thought process. These are imbalanced mind and thinking process. Sometimes even in high fever and delirium, people used to murmur something which comes out of their thought process.

This is the phenomenon that Psychologists call “inner speech”, and they’ve been trying to study it pretty much since the dawn of psychology as a scientific discipline. In the 1930s, the Russian psychologist argued that inner speech developed through the internalization of “external”, out-loud speech.

If this is true, does inner speech use the same mechanisms in the brain as when we speak out loud? We have known for about a century that inner speech is accompanied by tiny muscular movements in the larynx, detectable by a technique known as electromyography.

In the 1990s, neuroscientists used functional neuroimaging to demonstrate that areas such as the left inferior frontal gyrus (Broca’s area), which are active when we speak out loud, are also active during inner speech. Furthermore, disrupting the activity of this region using brain stimulation techniques can interrupt both “outer” and inner speech.”

Psychologist says that quite people have the loudest minds because they do not have any outlet of their thought like speaking out with others openly to ease out their mind-thought. Whereas people who are talkative in nature use to vent out their mind – thinking often by openly talking with their friends, family members and others.

Such people rarely get affected by the habit of speaking out of their mind voice. Most of  the time the persons who are soliloquizing,  forget about their surroundings and never mind of others presence. Their attitude make others (who listen their murmur) to feel and think very low about their mind power , used to brand them as mentally imbalanced and disturbed….sometime brand them as ‘psycho’ and ‘insane’.

Only solution to come out from the habit of speaking out their mind voice is to develop a habit of openly sharing their thought or instant thinking with others wherever possible without allowing their hidden thoughts to get accumulated inside their brain.

Such an act of hiding, brooding, grinding and leaving the hidden thoughts within their mind would lead them to mental stress and depression which in turn ignite them seriously to continue their habit of Soliloquizing. They should develop a venue for out-letting their thoughts freely.

Practice alone will change them slowly to become normal and change their soliloquizing behavior. This attitude is like as if we speak out in our dreams. Persons with lonely life always get this sort of emotional imbalances and soliloquizing behavior because they do not have anyone to share or speak out their mind and clearing out their jamming thought process.

Let us see what Psychologist says, “Most of us will be familiar with the experience of silently talking to our self in our head. Perhaps you’re at the supermarket and realize that you’ve forgotten to pick up something you needed. “Milk!” you might say to yourself.

Or maybe you’ve got an important meeting with your boss later in the day, and you’re simulating – silently in your head – how you think the conversation might go, possibly hearing both your own voice and your boss’s voice responding.

The evidence that inner speech and speaking out loud share similar brain mechanisms seems pretty convincing.  One worry,  though,  is whether the inner speech we get people    to do in experiments is the same as our everyday experience of inner speech. As you might imagine, it’s quite hard to study inner speech in a controlled, scientific manner, because it is an inherently private act.

Typically, studies have required participants to repeat sentences to themselves in their heads, or, sometimes, count the syllables in words presented on a computer screen. These lack both the spontaneity of typical inner experiences and the conversational quality (think of the conversation with your boss) and motivational purposes   (“Milk!”)   of inner speech. Although the experience is undoubtedly different for everyone (not everyone reports having “conversations” in their head, for example), what does seem clear is that inner speech is a complex and multifaceted phenomena.”

In the same way, the RAS seeks information that validates your beliefs. It filters the world through the parameters you give it, and your beliefs shape those parameters. If you think you are bad at giving speeches, you probably will be. If you believe you work efficiently, you most likely do. The RAS helps you see what you want to see and in doing so, influences your actions.   http://www.giftedguru.com/16-ways-to-activate-the-reticular-activating-system-in-the-classroom/

Some people suggest that you can train your RAS by taking your subconscious thoughts and marrying them to your conscious thoughts. They call it “setting your intent.” This basically means that if you focus hard on your goals, your RAS will reveal the people, information and opportunities that help you achieve them.

If you care about positivity, for example, you will become more aware of and seek positivity. If you really want a pet turtle and set your intent on getting one, you’ll tune        in to the right information that helps you do that.

When you look at it this way, The Law of Attraction doesn’t seem so mystical. Focus on   the bad things and you will invite negativity into your life. Focus on the good things and they will come to you, because your brain is seeking them out. It’s not magic, it’s your Reticular Activating System influencing the world you see around you.

Articles and sketchy YouTube videos suggest many ways to train your RAS to get what   you want, but I find this method to be the most practical:

1. First, think of the goal or situation you want to influence.
2. Now think about the experience or result you want to reach in regards to that goal/situation.
3. Create a mental movie of how you picture that goal/situation ideally turning out in     the future. Notice the sounds, conversations, visuals and details of that mental movie. Replay it often in your head.

Of course, in reality these things aren’t as easy as they sound, but I do believe that our Reticular Activating System (RAS) can be trained. It’s about visualizing what we want, and then letting our subconscious and conscious work together to make it happen.

The idea is: If I can hear my own name in a crowd of thousands, can I also tune my brain to focus and attract the things that matter to me? I’m fairly certain I can. This is why I keep my Big List with me wherever I go, and reread it often. I have to continually refocus and remind my brain what matters and what doesn’t.

We’re only a couple months into our New Year’s Resolutions (or in my case, Anti-Resolutions) and it’s easy to quit on our goals. If we set our intent and refocus, though,  our RAS might help us out. Our brains look out for our best interests. Our RAS is filtering through billions of pieces of data so we can see and hear and be what we want to be. Sounds kinda like superpower to me.

Our brains are incredibly complex. We can sift through billions of bits of data at any given time. And somehow, so we don’t short circuit, we have to organize that information. The Reticular Activating System helps with that.

 The RAS is the reason you learn a new word and then start hearing it everywhere. It’s    why you can tune out a crowd full of talking people, yet immediately snap to attention when someone says your name or something that at least sounds like it.
