About mBIT

mBraining is a neuroscience-based coaching field that aligns the intelligence of the head, heart and gut. Through simple yet powerful techniques, mBIT coaching can help us find more calm, clarity and strength in our choices, both in life and at work!

01
Taking NLP to new levels...

mBIT takes NLP to new levels -- it takes up where NLP left off -- when the developers of NLP decided to throw out the two senses (OG) of Olfactory and Gustatory from the VAKOG sensory 5-tuple, they accidentally threw out the intelligence of two of our 3 key neural networks. NLP LOST the power and intelligence of the heart and gut brains!​

02
Integrating the three brains...

Now mBIT reclaims and integrates these powerful brains to bring more wisdom to the behavioral technology of NLP. mBIT provides tools to communicate with the head, heart and gut brains and to align and integrate them.

03
The insight of neuro-linguistics..

If you've ever 'lost heart', been 'gutted', had a powerful gut reaction, or experienced deep intuitive messages from your heart, then you'll immediately recognize just how pervasive the intelligence and impacts of our multiple brains can be. The fields of Neuro-Linguistics and Cognitive-Linguistics have both shown that metaphor and meaning are deeply embodied. Now mBIT allows you to unlock the process of embodiment at a neurological level.

04
Core competencies...

The new field of mBIT and the 'text book' for the field -- mBraining -- unlocks and explores the core competencies of your multiple brains with powerful techniques to quickly align your brains via their highest expressions and generate more wisdom and success in life.

05
Generative wisdom...

Generative wisdom requires all three of your brains to be engaged at their highest levels of expression. Wisdom is not generative if it’s not creative, compassionate and courageous. mBIT provides tools for tapping into the deep intuitive wisdom of your gut brain, aligning that with the creative insights of your head brain and tempering it all with powerful heart intelligence.

06
Coaching success!

mBIT and mBraining take Coaching into whole new realms, whether it be Life Coaching, Performance Coaching, Executive Coaching or Sports Coaching. Understanding how people use their heart and gut intelligences to either limit themselves or empower themselves via dreams, motivations and core identity is crucial to real coaching success. This is the power of mBIT -- to harness and align the intelligence of all the multiple brains for happiness and success!

What people are saying

“As I have travelled around the world for over 30 years training NLP, the question that I am most frequently asked is, ‘where is NLP going and what comes next?’ I have searched hard and up until now I have found nothing. That has just changed with the publication of ‘mBraining: Using your multiple brains to do cool stuff ‘, by Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu. mBraining takes up where NLP leaves off. mBraining is based on a synthesis of the latest research in neurology and cognitive science. Marvin and Grant have done an amazing job of collecting and synthesizing the latest scientific research. None of their work is speculative. It is all based on hard scientific research. Furthermore, this is the birth of a new field. In short, if you want a model that synthesizes NLP, that expands upon it and that is based on hard science, then mBraining is for you. Learn it now and get in on the ground floor."

"Received your book and couldn't put it down. The book is a brilliant blend of scientific discoveries and ancient wisdom that integrates three brains; an excellent cognitive basis for the training room and coaching work. I love and envy your conversational style and being a liaison between research & wisdom and the reader."

Michael Grinder

Non-verbal communication expert

Battle Ground, USA

"mBraining builds brilliantly on the earlier work of Daniel Golemans' pioneering work on Emotional Intelligence and the 'Head, Heart & Guts' work on Leadership by Dotlich, Cairo and Rhinesmith bringing, finally, a scientific, empirical and pragmatic application of multiple brain theory.

Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu take our intuitive knowledge of the validity of 'gut feel' and 'heart felt' to get our 'head around' the science of what they have termed 'multiple Brain Intelligence Techniques' (mBit) and, importantly, how this can be used in every aspect of our lives. mBraining is insightful, engaging, practical and, well, delightful. mBraining is a transformational work. Read it."

Colin James

Corporate Educator and Speaker

Australia

"The human experience is complex. Every now and then the prime signal of wisdom arises - the ability to make the complex simple. Oka and Soosalu have gathered the latest developments in Neuroscience, NLP and Human Development and translated them into a very readable, useable guide for the everyday person - how to live your life as it was really intended, using your multiple brains. Moving beyond that limiting belief held for decades in the western world, that we have only one brain, the one in our head, the authors offer an education toward better health, wiser decisions, and deeper relationships - including that most important relationship - with ourselves."

Mark Klassen

NLP Master Trainer

Commplus NLP, New Zealand

"mBraining demystifies how we make our instinctive gut and feeling heart based decisions, often more accurate and appropriate than our thinking head brain. The hows and whys of the emerging science of mBIT are brilliantly revealed and explained by Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu, in a light and educational format. The book and supporting educational materials and programs provide you with the necessary tools to understand and effectively implement these leading edge strategies and prosper."

“Never before have I come across a model (Epistemology, Teleology, Phenomenology) that is grounded in both research and ancient wisdoms and has the capacity, in such a short timeframe, to generate creativity, compassion and courage.

After 4 days of mBIT Coach Certification Training, the sheer knowing that by using these models we can actually for both ourselves and the people we work with evolve our brains is, as if I am standing on the moon for the first time.

Exciting times are ahead for us. Not to mention the brilliance of Grant and Marvin.”

Wilbert Molenaar, Trainer, Dynamic Creation Corp

Perth, Australia

"After recently discovering NLP, I was aware of some feelings of conflict within my body. Not until reading mBraining did these feelings make perfect sense. The experience of the 4 day mBIT training was life changing, in so many ways, but not least, in the realisation that mbraining allows wisdom to emerge that truly will change the world for the better."

John Gent

Perth, WA

"I found this course very powerful in confirming that we all have our own wisdom and the process taught through mBIT can allow each client / person to discover their own solutions, with clarity and connection to the whole and best ME! Sometimes beyond what was originally thought. Overall I felt empowered through the process of learning mBIT, with a deeper understanding of HOW and WHY we are so powerful within, simple and powerful! Thank you!"

"I'm finding when I add mBIT into any of my coaching sessions the outcomes are faster to achieve and more apparent to the coachee."

Maree Burgess

Business & Executive Coach

Melbourne, Australia

"mBraining" is a revolutionary book and a must read for anyone who is interested in effective decision-making and problem solving! It introduces us to the understanding that human beings are functioning with multiple brains--head, heart, and gut--and how this is supported in previous century medical history, ancient wisdom traditions and eastern spirituality, as well as modern cutting edge neurological and psychological research and theory. The authors lay out the history and research on this topic in a step-by-step method that is well-researched and comprehensive yet clear and understandable, as well as truly fascinating. Once you read this book, you will understand a more accurate model of the intelligence of our multiple brains and be able to apply the knowledge and exercises in this book to begin achieving a unified body-mind and well-being.

As a counselor and school psychologist, I spent years reflecting with people to assist them in getting in touch with their gut feelings and to use this gut intelligence in the decision-making process. The authors' discussion of the two main functional intelligence or what they call "core competencies" of the gut brain is in essence right on target with my own findings with what people express as their inner needs experienced in their gut feelings. It is quite exciting to find that what has become clear in my own life's work with hundreds of people also validates what is written in "mBraining" about the gut brain intelligence. I thank you both, Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu, for your well-written and engaging book with such an important message of multiple brain intelligence.

"This is one of the most powerful tools I have learned to date. It validates our Intuition through science and it empowers us to make choices from our Highest Expressions of "Compassion, Creativity and Courage". You can finally discover your Soul Purpose and develop your Intuition so that you can follow your own gentle guidance. I rarely get this excited about someone

else's work, but these guys made me want to learn as much as I could about their fascinating new work and tools!"

"A masterful combination of scientific research that backs up old knowledge, to produce a practical process that is simple, but offers a profound contribution to humanity to start expressing some wisdom before it destroys itself. We all need to do this stuff, luckily its completely natural once the program is installed.

I would add to not just buy the book, though yes do and don't delay - but also put yourself on a course to deepen it and help you get better at sharing what we are all looking for."

Craig Love

NLP Trainer

"mBraining has deeply affirmed my head, heart, gut approach to human development, in that each of us have our own answers within, we simply need to learn how to access that innate wisdom. mBIT has enabled me to not only step out into the world with greater courage, it has further empowered both myself and clients, in that both of us are able to engage in and leave sessions in a fully 'resourced' state every time."

"I recently had the privilege of attending mBIT Coach Certification Training with Grant Soosalu & Marvin Oka. What a wonderful, life changing training. The mBraining techniques that Grant and Marvin have created are quite simply profound. As a Coach and Master NLP Practitioner I’m always looking to expand my toolkit with techniques that help clients connect with themselves in a deeper, more meaningful way to help create the changes they’re looking for. The mBIT techniques certainly do this. All my clients that I’ve used the techniques with have experienced far greater wisdom, clarity and motivation as a result. For the client the experience is very gentle and yet very powerful. I highly recommend mBIT Coach Training to anyone who is serious about taking their coaching to the next level."

"mBraining is extremely powerful when used along with traditional coaching methods.

I am more than surprised, how my Clients are able to make extreme discoveries during the process, which they had no access to during the traditional coaching process just a few minutes ago. They flip everything up-side down and start again from the new system, new level of consciousness. It is really amazing."

I now use mBIT and breathing with all my NLP clients. I teach the breathing now as a pre-requisite to every session! It makes such a difference to my clients' state. From a balanced ANS almost anything is possible. Fabulous!"

Margot van Cingel

"Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu are at the leading edge of the wave that is insistently bringing science and ancient wisdom together in a powerful synergy. Modern Humans exist in a “head brain” dominated world; increasingly we are finding this dissatisfying, unrewarding and unsustainable. mBraining is one of the technologies of the 21st century that can help us live the more balanced, rewarding and sustainable lives that we crave.

mBraining and the mBIT techniques are subtle, elegant and powerful. The training, for me, was at times filled with “big words travelling at the speed of light” yet the exercises transformed the science into simple body/mind experience – profound and undeniable, then a deeper understanding of the technical terms emerged for me.

I am grateful to Marvin and Grant for their dedication in bringing this body of work together, and for packaging it in such a way that is very easy to use and adapt."

Paula Powell

NLP Trainer

New Zealand

"I am immediately impressed by how the authors Grant and Marvin take the reader by the hand, guiding us on a journey into ourselves, and that is into our many tangible selves, integrating them, making them available to work as a team (self as team = self esteem) so that we take our power back from an external world and return to our inner power. I say loud and clear, get this book you deserve it, your family deserves the new you, and your children ( if you have any) or partner deserves what you can share with them from this book on how you will do your mBraining with this new technology. It will be right here in your hands now when you buy it. Just do it, love yourself enough to do this."

Glenn Sinclair

"If you are looking for up to date information to gain knowledge, practical ways to change, feel better and experience more in your life, this book is for you. Buy it, read it, do the exercises, enjoy the experiences and leverage the insights. This is a book that extends our understanding of human processes and the resulting subjective experiences."

David McCombe

Senior Project Manager

"The insights of mBraining really do shine a brilliant light on the existence of head, heart and gut brains and why we associate and express our experiences via these channels. The major revelation of this innovative and well researched book is in explaining the relevance of these brains to our creativity, courage and compassion and how to harness and align the power and potential that is inherent in the human body . A must read addition to anyone interested in expanding their horizons and making the most of life and living."

Liz Anderson-Smith

Trainer, NewZealand

"mBraining: one of the greatest gifts to mankind’s evolution in the 21st century. I found mBraining to be such an enjoyable easy book to read and to understand and I believe it is suitable for anyone wanting to create generative change for themselves, their family/team, or their organisation. Furthermore to nurture the foundations and growth of this evolutionary approach to generative growth, Oka and Soosalu, have designed mBIT Certified Coach training for coaches passionate about working with their clients in a way that supports the client to experience generative sustainable change beyond the coaching program and mBIT is the best coach training I have ever participated in as it really did get to the Heart, Head and Gut of living an integrated healthier wiser lifestyle.

However mBraining is so much more than a book or personal and professional development tool, it is a healthier way of living for us all. Yet what I found truly remarkable, as well as being a refreshingly enriching experience, is the honour and integrity with which the founders of mBraining are sharing their knowledge, hope, and techniques with the world and that makes it even more enjoyable. I am forever grateful to Grant & Marvin for the gift bestowed upon me as a human-being and as a mBIT coach to be part of a collective consciousness that lives wisely from my Highest Expression to enhance the experience of life for all. Thank you for what you have gifted to us all and in your words - Evolve your World!"

"The mBIT coaching training has been a highly transformational process for me on all levels. I have thoroughly enjoyed exploring this gentle and effective technique for connecting with my 3 intelligences (heart, head and gut), and aligning them in order to achieve specific personal and professional goals. I’m excited and inspired to continue using mBIT to fast-track my own development, and to facilitate future clients on their journey."

Monique Lund

Coach, New Zealand

"I found the mBraining concept while attending this year's WBECS Coaching conference. I listened to Grant and Marvin's presentations, purchased the book and was hooked. I applied the notion of inquiry to my own heart, then head, then gut and asked what they had to say about getting more information on the mBIT training. That's when I got the nudge from all three brains to book a ticket to Australia and get certified in the mBIT methods. I wanted the skills to enhance my life and the lives of my clients. I have client's who seem to be saying all of the statements below and I wanted to be a stronger coach who could support them to get unstuck.

  • I'm often in conflict between what I'm feeling, thinking and sensing.

  • I can't seem to get motivated about my biggest dreams and goals.

  • I feel like I have too much anxiety to think clearly.

The new set of tools afforded me from this certification are shifting the way I live and the lives of my clients. We are wiser, more stable in our decision making and feeling a greater sense of satisfaction."

"A wonderful combination of science, behavioural modelling and techniques to explore beyond the conditioned mind and into the creative, compassionate and courageous aspects of our being, to live from the highest expression of who we are, thus generating healthier decisions in all areas of our life and our planet"

Theresa Grainger

NLP Trainer

Auckland, NZ

"Occasionally one comes across a book that constitutes a hugely significant and boundary breaking contribution to the field of human development. mBraining is such a book. Written in a conversational style, it is immediately accessible to the widest range of readers. It is also a prime example of science catching up with common knowledge that has developed over millennia of human experience. Oka and Soosalu have constructed the text in a systematic and coherent way that allows the reader to follow with ease their approach to interpreting and utilising the feedback from all three human intelligences of head, heart and brain. Not only is their system based on behavioural modelling, it is backed by evidence from many reputable neuro-science research projects. The book clearly outlines in an intelligent and ordered way, the various processes used in what the authors describe as "mBraining". This book makes sense on many levels, and is a must-read for psychologists, therapists, coaches, counsellors, consultants and all who may be interested in '...a finely tuned and aligned process that is positive, loving, creative, generative and empowered'."

"It was an absolute privilege to attend the mBIT training course, to work with Marvin and Grant, to learn the newest technology in the world and to be able to apply the technology to high-performance in myself and the people I work with. It is a privilege to be on the leading edge of learning the capability of the three brains and I highly recommend the course to anyone who wants to take their coaching skills to the next level."

"Reading mBraining now, so excited, it works! Ive been practicing Healing Tao for a year and studying NLP also and its making the techniques a lot easier. I'm going to start teaching my clients with anxiety disorders this amazing model."

"mBraining extends notions of both brain and mind. Steven Pinker famously says that 'the mind is what the brain does'. Oka and Soosalu suggest that a greater mind is a function of a greater brain, that comprising head, heart, and hara."

"Want to know more about you, and how to live the life you're capable of? Read mBraining. This book is an easy to read, insightful exploration into what's really possible for each of us once we recognise and coherently engage our 3 brains; heart, head and gut. Compassion, Creativity and Courage, we all have them, and this book will show you how to access these Highest Expressions of your brains. Congratulations to Marvin Oka and Grant Soosalu on their research into the connections between ancient wisdom teachings and modern science, and for writing this accessible book. Highly recommended."

"This is an important work! When so much of our response to life is based on what our 'head' brain tells us to do, it is exciting to see the research demonstrating the power and the importance of our heart and gut brains. Get all three aligned and your life changes! This book shows you how."

"This book has not only changed our lives, but has changed the lives of our clients and all of those around us. We have implemented mBIT into our everyday lives and right throughout our own trainings and coaching in relationships. As Relationship Coaches, we found that we are able to be more effective in such a short timeframe using the skills and techniques of mBraining. Our clients have nothing but praise for mBIT and the eye-opening skills it teaches you through the likes of NLP, NeuroScience and the genius of the authors!"

"Never before has a book gripped me so - from the first chapter, I have been engaged, fascinated and engrossed in equal measure – my head, heart and gut tell me so!"

David Parry

"Wow! What a roller coaster ... I have a wonderful picture of me emerging from a huge rock - a solid and safe rock that had been building around me for as long as I can remember - a rock of who I was supposed to be and who people had told me I was - yet the longer time went on the heavier the rock got and the harder it was to break out from it. Grant just put a stick of dynamite right at the core in an open frame session at the four day coach training with communications plus this weekend in Auckland. The layers and chunks of rocks just fell away - and 'I' emerged. And because the rocks and weight have gone - I can move and dance. Am loving it and feel like I am just starting to live as me - who I was created to be. Like learning to walk again all over again - I expect to stumble and fall occasionally - I am sure it will take time to get to know 'me' in a whole new way - but what a gift - thank you."

"This book is a must read for both coaches and individuals. It has made a profound difference to both my knowledge of the body and brains as well as how I approach coaching. It is incredibly well researched and referenced, there are lots of practical exercises to help you understand the theories and it is full of ideas as to how it can be applied.

Grant and Marvin have taken the latest thinking in neuro-science and found a way to make it both easy to understand and practical to use. If you only read one book this year, this should be it!"

Sarah Hamburger

Elite Sports Coach, NZ

"If you want to be inspired by amazing and easily accessible facts from the leading edge of science; if you want access to the vast fields of intelligence within you; if you want to tap into the wisdom of each of your 3 brains (that’s right – 3!), mBraining is a book for you. I went away for a week of silence a couple of weeks ago and took this book. I was absolutely fascinated by it and have shared much of it with my community. Thank you, Grant and Marvin, so much for writing such an insightful, inspiring and healing book!"

“I’m very impressed with the work of Grant Soosalu and Marvin Oka on the competencies of the brains in the heart and gut and the application of this to leadership.
