Have you ever wondered if there is any scientific evidence supporting the notion of spontaneous remission, faith healing and other described miracles? Until recently there hasn’t been much scientific information to support these claims, but this is not to say that they don’t occur, because they do. There also hasn’t been much information about what we can do to assist in our own healing, until now.
The latest information emerging from the science labs is that we now have the opportunity to play a part in our own healing. According to …

Subliminal advertising really does work, claim scientists who found that people subconsciously respond to flashed messages – especially if they are negative.
By Richard Alleyne
Researchers found that briefly displaying words and images so quickly that people do not even consciously notice, does nevertheless change their thinking.
They found it was particularly effective with negative images and words which could alter a person’s mood.
The phrase subliminal advertising was coined in 1957 by the US market researcher James Vicary, who said he could get moviegoers to “drink Coca-Cola” and “eat popcorn” by flashing those …

Who cares if money can’t buy you love? It can still be your BFF.
That’s one of the surprising findings in a new Chinese-American academic research paper, “The Symbolic Power of Money,” published in the journal Psychological Science.
Like any best friend forever, money demonstrated to researchers its ability to soothe us, reduce our sense of social exclusion and even lessen …

Period of slumber helps the brain focus on emotionally resonant aspects of a memory while diminishing background details.
As poets, songwriters and authors have described, our memories range from misty water-colored recollections to vividly detailed images of the times of our lives.
Now, a study led by Harvard researchers at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) and Boston College offers new insights into the specific …

This afternoon I had a (very rare) nap. During that nap I had a lucid dream (most of which I no longer remember). As I was waking up, I was thinking about my dream and thought that it would be a great idea to write a list about dreams for the site. So, here are the top 10 amazing facts about dreams.
10. Blind People Dream
People who become blind after birth can see images in their dreams. People who are born blind do not see any images, but have dreams equally …

Hypnosis and Conversational Hypnosis are simply natural experiences that occur all the time. People spend their days going in and out of different trances and altered states of mind. If you think about it you probably access trances many times each day; when you day dream, become absorbed in a show or movie, when you become deep in thought or even immerse yourself fully in something you are reading. So hypnosis is complete and natural ways of letting your consciousness go free.
Humans are made as any animal …

THE CITY HAS always been an engine of intellectual life, from the 18th-century coffeehouses of London, where citizens gathered to discuss chemistry and radical politics, to the Left Bank bars of modern Paris, where Pablo Picasso held forth on modern art. Without the metropolis, we might not have had the great art of Shakespeare or James Joyce; even Einstein was inspired by commuter trains.

And yet, city life isn’t easy. The same London cafes that stimulated Ben Franklin also helped spread cholera; Picasso eventually bought an …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging of men and women under stress showed neuroscientists how their brains differed in response to stressful situations. In men, increased blood flow to the left orbitofrontal cortex suggested activation of the “fight or flight” response. In women, stress activated the limbic system, which is associated with emotional responses.
There are many books and movies that highlight the psychological differences between men and women – Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus, for example; but now, neurologists say they have brain images that prove male and female …

1 – Appearing Needy
I’ve seen it at dozens of parties – a person earns some social credit by having a pleasant conversation with a stranger… but then they won’t end the conversation gracefully, or even “trail” their new “friend” around. Other ways of appearing needy include griping about an invitation you didn’t receive, trying to invite yourself to social events, etc. Always avoid appearing needy, it is the number one killer of social credit!
2 – Appearing Nosy
Asking someone new how they earn their living, if they are married or single, …
