your wiring changes when your focus changes

Our mind and brain are not fixed—they are living systems shaped by what we repeatedly think, feel, and do.
Modern neuroscience calls this process neuroplasticity, the brain’s capacity to reorganize its structure and connections through conscious repetition.
The ancient Yoga Sutras describe a parallel process through saṃskāra—the subtle mental impressions left by each experience that influence our future thoughts and actions.

In the Yoga Sutras of Patañjali (1.50), it is said:
“The subtle impressions born of this intuitive wisdom cancel all other saṃskāras.”
This ancient insight mirrors modern findings in neuroscience: sustained attention and deliberate practice can literally rewire the brain, dissolving old conditioning and forming new pathways of awareness.

Every act of mindfulness is a moment of redesign. Through attention, the inner architecture of thought itself can be transformed.

This short offers a paraphrased reflection that bridges timeless yogic psychology with present-day neuroscience.
