The power of sage

The "power of sage" refers to several distinct concepts: the five positive mental powers (Empathize, Explore, Innovate, Navigate, Activate) from Positive Intelligence designed to overcome negative patterns; the health-promoting properties of the herb sage like antioxidants and cognitive benefits;

Here's a breakdown of the different "powers":

1. The Sage in Positive Intelligence (Mental Powers)
This framework describes the "Sage" as the part of your mind that embodies wisdom, compassion, and clear-headed thinking. Its five powers help you build mental fitness: 

• Empathize: Cultivating self-compassion and extending genuine understanding to others.

• Explore: Open-mindedly investigating situations and perspectives.

• Innovate: Generating fresh ideas and creative solutions for problems.

• Navigate: Aligning actions with your core values and long-term goals.

• Activate: Taking focused, effective action toward meaningful objectives. 

2. The Herb Sage (Botanical & Spiritual Benefits)
The herb Salvia officinalis (garden sage) and Salvia apiana (white sage) have various uses and benefits: 

• Cognitive Enhancement: Contains compounds that may improve memory, focus, and overall brain function.

• Mood Elevation: Research suggests active compounds in sage can activate brain receptors for mood, stress reduction, and pain relief.
