In 1928, sociologists W. I. Thomas and D. S. Thomas put forth what has become known as the Thomas theorem; “If men define situations as real, they are real in their consequences.” “Art is the lie that enables us to realize the truth.” – Pablo Picasso In a paper published by Cognitive Brain Research, musicians that played the piano were studied using fMRI in order to watch what happened in the brain while…
As we pass through life on the physical plane, things happen. We contract flus and colds and viruses, and we sustain physical injuries, like falling off our bikes as children or experiencing sports injuries. As adults, we may throw our back out or experience a serious car accident, in the process, acquiring bruises, cuts, sprains, infections, lacerations, and sometimes broken bones. Some of us may also experience serious illnesses of…
There was a time in the US when chiropractors were looked at with suspicion, homeopaths and herbalists were considered quacks, and naturopaths, acupuncturists, ayurvedic medicine practitioners, rolfers… these were unheard of. Well, things change. Alternative medicine is the preferred choice of millions of people now, and for very good reason. Who doesn’t know that the human body is energy, with energy vortexes and channels? Your mainstream medical doctor, that’s…
Have you ever entered an empty room, or office, and felt “uncomfortable”? Feeling perhaps quite happy to get out of that room, or office, as soon as possible? Maybe you have found somewhere that feels “bad” at one time yet feels “okay” at another time? This could be where we work, live, or somewhere we are visiting or passing through. What about people? Do you know anyone who seems to…
Anyone who travels within spiritual circles has probably heard about “vibrations.” The context is usually that someone with a higher vibration is somehow more spiritual or that the goal of the individual is to raise his or her vibration. But what does this really mean? Is it all just spiritual mumbo jumbo or is there actually a science behind vibrations? As you probably figured out from the title of this…
The pine cone shaped, pea-sized pineal gland, located in the center of the human brain, is an organ of tremendous interest these days. To many spiritual seekers it is the ‘seat of the soul‘ and the ‘third eye,’ the anatomical part of the human body that acts as our spiritual antennae, connecting us to the non-physical, spiritual planes of existence. However, to many scientists and rigid materialist thinkers, it is…
Negative Ions Impact the Air You Breathe Ever breathe and experience the air around a thunderous waterfall … on a serene mountain top … at a pulsating seashore … or after a wild thunderstorm? Remember how fresh the air felt and how easy it was for you to breathe? Well, what you experienced was likely the result of negative ions. The rush of negative ions helps neutralize and balance the…
In recent years, a number of groundbreaking studies have been published showing a very direct link between our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and the health of our physical body as well as measurable changes in our genetic code. Commonly referred to as the “placebo effect,” this inherent mind-body connection is proving to be the latest frontier in medicine and is shaking up old models of disease theory showing that health is…
Our universe may be nothing more than a university of duality, where all things compliment a polar opposite. The notion of good and evil is a formative part of our moral universe, and author/researcher Graham Hancock has some fascinating ideas about this often dark universe we live in. Is consciousness engaged in a giant process of growth and rebirth, where both good and evil are learning tools? Be Sure to LIKE Science of…
