You don’t kill the ego, because to kill the ego means to kill your human self. Over the years, I’ve heard so many in spiritual and new age communities assert, with great conviction, that the only way to achieve enlightenment is to kill their ego. These people fail to realise, however, that without the ego, you couldn’tContinue reading “NEWSFLASH: YOU DON’T KILL THE EGO”

THE VAGUS NERVE: EMPATHY HEALS
The largest nerve in our body is the vagus nerve, which means wandering in Latin. This nerve has multiple branches which diverge from two thick stems rooted in the brainstem and cerebellum that reach to the lowest viscera of your intestines, touching the heart and most other organs along the way. Scientists have found, that feeling elevated emotionsContinue reading “THE VAGUS NERVE: EMPATHY HEALS”
REWRITING THE SUBCONSCIOUS
Rewriting the subconscious is something most struggle with, mainly because they don’t truly understand how it functions. The subconscious operates very much like the hard drive in your computer; it is programmed via the repetition of certain experiences and behaviours. However, the subconscious is hundreds of times more powerful than the conscious mind and untilContinue reading “REWRITING THE SUBCONSCIOUS”
NEUROPLASTICITY: DISSOLVING THE OLD SELF
For the most part, the human brain is a record of the past. All our past experiences, memories, beliefs, unconscious perceptions and habits are stored within the circuitry of our brain. The neurological network is a matrix formed by clusters of nerve cells. Many believe that once they’re set in their ways, that it’s, atContinue reading “NEUROPLASTICITY: DISSOLVING THE OLD SELF”
CHANGING BRAINWAVE STATES
Neuroscience has taken huge strides over the last couple of decades, especially in its studies on altered states of consciousness invoked by spiritual practices such as meditation and prayer. One thing scientists have discovered is that by focusing your awareness on the space around your body, you change your brainwaves by slowing them down. DoingContinue reading “CHANGING BRAINWAVE STATES”
THE EVIRONMENT SIGNALS YOUR GENES
The enviornment signals your genes but for decades, we’ve taught to believe that genes create disease and that there’s no way of avoiding our so-called, hereditary maladies. We assumed that we’re doomed by our DNA and that there’s no escape. Misconceptions such as these, are being blown out the water by the latest findings in epigenetics. We’reContinue reading “THE EVIRONMENT SIGNALS YOUR GENES”
BENEFITS OF MENTAL REHEARSAL
Modern science is finally catching up with what the ancients have been teaching since time immemorial, for example, the impact our thoughts have on our experience of physical reality. One thing researchers are coming to terms with is that, if performed in the correct state, there’s literally no difference in mental visualisation and actual physical experiences─both affectContinue reading “BENEFITS OF MENTAL REHEARSAL”
THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE EGO
Life is an experience of transformation. One of shedding who you believed you were in order to embody your true self. The transformation of the ego is why we incarnated in physical reality. According to neuroscience, most of our conditioning occurs during the first seven years of our lives; this is because children’s brains are significantly moreContinue reading “THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE EGO”
