In this video, Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D. sits down to explain all of his findings and research over the past several years. He has been finding more and more evidence to suggest that mental and emotional communications can happen outside of the physical body. He postulates that thoughts and emotions travel in waves all around us,…
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:

Telepathic communication happens to me frequently. In my practice, almost every time I have a strong thought of a patient I haven't seen for many months or even many years, invariably they ring that day or the next to book an appointment! I have been following Sheldrake for more than twenty years now...

Meditation an effective way to improve performance

Meditation an effective way to improve performance | meditation, spirituality and meaning | Scoop.it
Deep breathing, savouring food and walking alone are some of the methods that can teach awareness and better one's well-being
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:

That's the thing about meditation. It's not just a spiritual practice, but it has practical benefits for helping our performance at worldy tasks - including business. This is why major corporations are catching on... A study at Northeastern University showed how people trained in meditation for just eight weeks behaved with attention to others 50 per cent of the time, compared with 16 per cent for an untrained group. Research like this is why large US corporations like General Mills and Target now use meditation as a tool to improve their performance.

John Denniger, a psychiatrist at Harvard Medical School, is leading a five-year study on how yoga and meditation affect genes and brain activity in the chronically stressed.

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:

This article discusses NDE studies which suggest that after physical death, mind and consciousness may continue in a transcendent level of reality that is not normally accessible to our senses and awareness. Needless to say, this view is utterly incompatible with the belief of many materialists that the material world is the only reality...

Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:

Scientists such as Dr Robert Lanza and Dr Stuart Hameroff have been revolutionising the materialistic view of reality. They use concepts from quantum mechanics, including multiple universes, the multiverse (not the same thing) and the principle of non-locality, to give credence to the theory of biocentrism. This implies implies that consciousness creates the material universe, not the other way around. We carry space and time around with us like turtles with shells, meaning that when the shell comes off, we still exist...

Laura Hansen's curator insight, July 22, 2014 1:12 PM

A dear friend, quantum physicist Richard Amoroso, has written about 30 books on consciousness theory. These books are dense, brilliant and out there on the edge in the quantum physics community. And, yes physics will eventually prove the movement of consciousness during life and after death... What else is there to do?

Compassionate Love Decreases Disease Progression and Speeds Healing

Compassionate Love Decreases Disease Progression and Speeds Healing | meditation, spirituality and meaning | Scoop.it
Clinical research has confirmed that compassionate love as well as a faith in a compassionate Higher Power increases healing time and decreases disease progression among those with HIV.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:

A sense of life's meaning and connection with others is one of the most essential components of health. This article examines research that verifies this. The definition used in relation to the "Openness and receptivity to spirituality" by the researchers was defined as: "The spiritual awareness of being part of something important beyond oneself and feeling connected to a higher presence. Being open and receptive for the so-called "inspired" quality of compassionate love."

Carl Jung’s Psychological Diagnosis Using Mandalas

Carl Jung’s Psychological Diagnosis Using Mandalas | meditation, spirituality and meaning | Scoop.it
Mandalas have been used in many ancient cultures like Buddhism, Hinduism, Native American, Australian Aboriginal as a symbol of the universe and wholeness.
Cottesloe Naturopathic Clinic's insight:

A mandala is a design that triggers something within us - a sacred geometry in which we recognise our self and our place in the cosmos.

It is an ancient and fundamental relationship from which we often stray, and the mandala is the key that can help us return to it. When the inner self is challenged by ego, harmony has to be restored. During such times, mandalas can guide us - help us to listen to the inner voice and find ourselves...
