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.
