The first full Shibui I created. Sold along with an accompanying ocean theme. Together it was a great sale! I do not give permission for use____.

There is more than what meets the eye!

What is neuroplasticity? Say what? What does it and other kinds of things like aesthetics, neurons, synapses, ___ETC, have to do with Shibui Found Image Art or other art form for that matter? What does it have to do with writing or sound, such as music?

For one thing, I have been developing Shibui since 2011 to be used as an original art form or as an art therapy tool. I aim to generate art-related jobs for individuals and create an “understandable original art form”. The plan is for it to be used by others as their own brand of Shibui on products, and to teach their brand using what they learn as Shibui Instructors. (As I have.) Currently, I am writing an instruction manual about Shibui. One particular target group is those individuals who can not work traditional jobs, people with disorders, and disabilities. It’s a part of everything we do! Shibui is just one of those things. It’s an exciting part of the creative process. Just let me know if you’re interested in being a Shibuiest! I am very interested in those who can create digital art, as I want to learn what others can do with a digital form of Shibui. This needs to be tested to learn its potential. If it proves to have great potential, a manual about digital Shibui will follow. I know this can be created. The goal is to develop a group; the target group is paralyzed individuals and others who could create digital art. I need more information through holding labs where I can see what others do, and where it can be discussed. Interest will generate teaching labs. I can be reached through the following email. If you are interested or know someone who might be, share my blog. Contact me through my blog or at the following email. <pejjaa2050@outlook.com>

In addition to teaching Shibui, I will educate people about becoming art-related entrepreneurs. The main insight about becoming an art-related entrepreneur is that what you put in, you get out! No one can do it for you, but it can be made simpler with a degree of help, someone pointing you in the right direction. My main focus is Shibui and what it can do.

Now? The Brain/Mind and Body___ How it works!

Understanding the brain is key to healing the brain and the body, so we are mentally, physically, and emotionally well. The mind is key to healing the body! Therapists need to understand why people do as they do. The whole person matters! If therapists and others better understand the brain/mind/body connection, they will understand their clients in new ways. This is beginning to take root! We might help neuroscientists with what they observe! Then they can test it out! If they are not creative themselves, they are unfamiliar with how the artist or writer processes, unless they become involved with some! This is why thinking about the creative process is vital.

Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain’s neural networks to change through growth and reorganization. Neuroplasticity does not happen just in infancy; changes in the brain can occur later in life. However, the developing brain shows more plasticity than the adult brain. This newly forming plasticity involves consciousness. Consciousness interests me. Every time we learn something new, it becomes a part of how the mind works.

In reality, the quantum mind, also known as quantum consciousness, is a group of hypotheses proposing that neuroscience applies local physical laws and interactions from what is known as classical mechanics. Simply put, it’s about the connections between neurons. However, these components alone do not explain what consciousness is.  However, we can look at phenomena of quantum mechanics instead. Terms applied in quantum mechanics are words like entanglement and supposition.  Such components cause nonlocalized quantum effects, which interact in smaller parts of the brain than cells, but may play an essential part in the brain’s function and could explain critical aspects of consciousness.”

Physicist Roger Penrose and anesthesiologist Stuart Hameroff proposed a new concept about how our brains deliver consciousness. Our brains are made up of cells called neurons. What is interesting is how these neurons respond to what stimulates them to generate consciousness. The brain applies consciousness in real time! But how? That is the question. Neurons contain microtubules, which transport substances to different cell parts. The Penrose-Hameroff theory of quantum consciousness states that microtubules are structured in a fractal pattern that would enable quantum processes to occur. Fractals are interesting as well as beautiful! Fractals are interesting structures because they are neither two-dimensional nor three-dimensional; somehow, they show a mixed value of something in between. We understand and visualize their beauty through mathematics. The form has infinitely repeating patterns, generating a highly intricate structure with an endless perimeter. We find beautiful fractals in nature. Through consciousness, plants and people begin life through consciousness. We start with dividing cells, which become a whole plant or being. Fascinating when you think of the brain, the brain, the mind, the heart, all a part, all having a beginning.

There is this incredible evolution inside the body! We have lungs, which are necessary for life! But what’s impressive is that the structure of our lungs and the circulatory system’s blood vessels are fractal. Artists like M.C. Escher and Jackson Pollock understood the concept of fractals and used this technique for decades.

These are all examples of classical fractals—fractals that abide by the laws of classical physics rather than quantum physics. It’s easy to see why fractals have been used to explain the complexity of human consciousness. Because they’re infinitely intricate, allowing complexity to emerge from simple repeated patterns, they could be the structures that support the mysterious depths of our minds. But if this is the case, it could only happen on the quantum level, where tiny particles move in fractal patterns within the brain’s neurons.

Advanced technology can now measure quantum fractals in the lab. This is possible due to a scanning tunneling microscope. This allows us to see and arrange electrons in a fractal pattern, which creates a quantum fractal. (Done at Utrecht University.)

When the electrons are measured to learn their wave function, this describes their quantum state. It was discovered that electrons “lived at the fractal dimension dictated by the physical patterns” made. In this case, the patterns used on the quantum scale were called the Sierpinski triangle. This pattern is somewhere between one-dimensional and two-dimensional. However exciting this finding is, at this point, the STM techniques cannot probe how quantum particles move. If they could be examined, it would tell us more about how quantum processes occur in the brain. Further research from Shanghai Jiaotong University went further. Neuroscientists used state-of-the-art photonics experiments to reveal quantum motion within fractals. This happened in unprecedented detail. This brings us close to understanding how the brain works. Due to my research, I know how the brain works. We can help it finesse specific areas of injury. We know it can rewire in certain regions, which takes time as the brain rewires. My question is if we focus our thoughts in specific ways, will it affect the brain and generate what is needed more quickly? Can doing art therapy encourage the brain to do things more quickly? In addition to this, what kinds of foods or supplements help? Do we need to focus on nerves? Give them what they need to grow well. How does that message get to the brain, and better yet, how does it translate? A conscious brain understands. Think, when we take medication for pain. Are we treating the whole body, or does the brain say, “send it here!”

The observations from such experiments reveal that quantum fractals behave differently from classical ones. Learning about quantum fractals could provide scientists with key information to test quantum consciousness theories. Especially interesting is taking quantum measurements from the human brain; these could be compared against other results to learn whether consciousness is a classical or a quantum phenomenon.

Such progress in neuroscience also has far-reaching potential across scientific fields. By investigating quantum transport through artificially designed fractal structures, neuroscience can apply the unification of physics, mathematics, and biology. This could give great insight and understanding of the world around us and even the world that exists in our heads, such as with writing and the arts.

A return to neuroplasticity: Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to reorganize and rewire its neural connections, allowing them to adapt and function uniquely. This process is in response to learning new skills. It happens as we experience environmental changes. The mind’s plasticity comes into play as we recover from injuries. Neuroplasticity is about adapting to sensory or cognitive deficits. This adaptability highlights the brain’s dynamic and adaptive nature. The changes in the brain range from individual neuron pathways generating new connections to systematic adjustments known as cortical remapping or neural oscillation. Other types of neuroplasticity include homologous area adaptation, cross-modal reassignment, map expansion, and compensatory masquerade. What happens includes circuit and network changes resulting from learning something new, reading information, environmental experiences, physical bodily changes like pregnancy, eating, physical training, and mental and emotional stress.

Furthermore, starting from the primary stimulus-response sequence in simple reflexes, the organisms’ capacity to correctly detect alterations within themselves and their context depends on the concrete nervous system architecture, which evolves in a particular way already during gestation. Adequate nervous system development forms us as human beings with all the necessary cognitive functions. The physicochemical properties of the mother-fetus bio-system affect the neuroplasticity of the embryonic nervous system in their ecological context.

Activity-dependent plasticity can significantly affect healthy development, learning, memory, and recovery from brain damage.

Best wishes! May love and laughter find you. Pejj Nunes
