Now my confusion opened up into curiosity. I tried kinesthetic input, having the kids play with clay and move around. For some children, this produced more beta waves; What I hadn't realized until that point was: 1) Input from the outside caused the children's brains to shift from focused attention …

When the subconscious is working, slow brain waves are present. They are different than the fast brain waves of the conscious brain that are there when you're working on a spreadsheet. In many ways, the highly developed, analytical channels of the conscious brain can be seen as both a blessing …

It was like hearing spirit knock on a door that would eventually open to time and space. Miracle fails to adequately describe the transformation of spirit into flesh. And ever since, your presence and growth has ushered before us a procession of magical moments. Truly, if human beings only knew …

After many months with his eyes closed, one day he finally opened his eyes. This was only for a split second, but it was enough for him to notice the angelic Parvati. They both sat hypnotised and just stared into each other's longing eyes. Shiva did not want to close …

The quintessence of bollocks. All the surgeons I know share poky offices in Portakabins. I often feel those writing medical dramas could barely tell the difference between a hospital and an eel-and-pie shop. Real-life medical ethics is far less dramatic and, sadly, lacks even the merest hint of sexual frisson …

Players divide into teams and begin with a small object, like a toothpick, then disperse and knock on neighborhood doors, one house after another.

The sooner you get old, the better. If you aren't getting happier as you're getting older, you're doing it wrong. Either that, or you had the greatest childhood ever--which is sad, in a way. So, now, as an old guy, I am equipped and able to write a self-help article …

But you need to remember that we all lose our sh*t at times, and some of us just hide it better than others. As my grandma Lottie always used to say, The grass isn't greener on the other side; <a href='http://r.czin.eu/?u=http://crmag.co …

In the end she went to one of our few remaining continuing-care beds. She died one week later, having spent over four months on our acute stroke ward. I felt wretched, as did many of the nursing staff, speech therapists, physiotherapists and others who had devoted so much time to …

We live in a world where negativity, trauma, and chronic pain prevent people from remembering their inherent greatness. Too many people are trapped in the negative feedback loops of pain, depression, and self-doubt. These loops prevent them from offering their unique gifts and love to the world.

Should I have stopped writing and just gone back to reading? How many people have a voice that they would like someone to hear? If we all stay silent, we remain prisoners our whole lives. Again, Helen Keller once said; This is when you work on tasks that move you …

I survived layoffs, which simply meant that I had to take on even more work. So I was in a distressed industry, working with distressed clients, at an under-resourced investment bank. Like most investment bankers during that period, I worked around the clock, pulling all-nighters, and spending many, many consecutive …

Heaven is everywhere, always, at once. Hell is not knowing it. Find the good in every circumstance. It's always there. I am referring to meditation as a destination whereby one discovers a feeling of bliss and harmony. Disciple - My master, what on earth is yoga? This is a complex question …

Look for these challenges throughout the article, drawn from my satirical blog post series, 25 Things Fat People Shouldn't Do. All the items on this list come from ridiculous corners of the Internet where apparent experts have decided what fat people should and should not do. They range from the …

Originally derived from Hinduism and Buddhism, a mantra is a word, phrase or sound believed to have a special spiritual power, which is repeated to aid concentration in meditation or prayer and expresses a strong belief. A mantra is a great tool for both parents and children to encourage us …

It's how surfers take championships and artists go from homeless to the Grammys. I'm not much of an athlete, but there's one sport in which I feel it's all right to brag about my abilities for a minute: monkey bars, circa age ten. When I was a shrimpy, red-headed kid …

Lack of energy. You don't have the energy to work on a particular task at the moment. As a result, you may put off key tasks by avoiding: Cold calling potential clients due to the fear of rejection, This kind of inquiry encourages the brain to wonder. It is wonder …

Market-share mentality solves problems by asking our minds to think practically, analytically, and procedurally. We break down challenges into small pieces and arrange them neatly in sequential order, hoping the solution will make itself apparent. A question is asked and our brains shoot back an answer: Ready, aim, fire. We …

I dug deep, I hustled and I invested in the right people around me to keep me focused and on track. I formed the LBDGroup, a network for commercially smart women who collaborate and support each other (which I sold in March 2019). Since then, I've built a global speaking …

So time goes on. Years pass. Another mother, another daughter. She has Asperger syndrome. Similarly, we can't automatically conclude that the brain must produce consciousness simply because the brain and consciousness are related. As we will explore in this article, a branch of physics first conceived in the early 20th …

This dilemma is an exercise in lateral thinking. It's the kind of puzzle in which the most elegant solution is revealed only when you attack it sideways. New ideas emerge when you question the assumptions upon which a problem is based (in this case: it's that you can only help …

This is going to be your decluttering journal. The reason you need to pick a nice one is you're going to be spending a lot of time together, making notes on your progress, your feelings, the number of bags you've taken to the charity shop or tip, and keeping a …

Yep, instead of reporting on each other, our country's patriots clogged his tattle-tale tip line with garbage. That is not just a plus--it's a patriotic plus. Instead of indulging in the very worst behavior in a time that screams for unity--narcing on each other--Americans chose instead to ridicule and annoy …

But before we talk about the mechanics of anxiety, I need to make the following point loud and clear: Talking to your child about anxiety will not make them more anxious. The reason I have a bee in my bonnet about this is that I've heard of several occasions in …

Many contemporary skeptics in science are also materialists. If materialism is based on a leap of faith, then shouldn't a true skeptic be skeptical of materialism?
