NEW Mind Benefits?

[XenXheng]

Hi,

I am halfway through the NEW system, and have noticed a definite increase in my energy level in terms of physical activity and feeling "up" with just doing foot and hand work!

But my question is... I know the NEW system grants tremendous physical strength, like healing and being more active, but does it work on the mind as well?  I am having a VERY difficult time concentrating and understanding a lot of things in school, especially the things that are strictly memorization, and I was hoping NEW might give me as big a boost in my studies as it is already doing for my body.

100% instant comprehension is a big goal to shoot for, but if I can even fall halfway or even a quarter to that goal, I will be utterly satisfied!

Thanks Mr. Bruce for the system and all who reply,
Chris

From my practices it has helped me stay awake and alert, which is always helpful in the realm of studies.  I didn't notice any bonus from NEW in memory, which I'm sorely needing.  However, with the benefits to concentration I've done better.  I would suggest doing some AP concentration exercises since they've helped me.  They can be found in Ch16 if you have Astral Dynamics, if not you can find different kinds all over the Internet.  Someone else here might be able to point you to them better than I can.

Also, when I was in school I always just kind of zoned out.  IF you are doing this no amount of energy work will help.  I would suggest getting enough sleep and trying to find a way to apply the things you are learning to your life to make it more interesting.

i feel that everytime NEW is practiced you become more accustomed to calming your mind and thinking more clearly.. so with practice comes perfection
