Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand ". Robert G. Allen ________________________________________________________________________
THE
THREE PHASES OF DISTANT HEALING It is
helpful to divide spiritual healing into three phases. The first
phase involves the activities and intentions of the individual who is
attempting the healing. This usually involves entering a meditative, prayerful
state which healers sometimes call “centering.” Healers describe a variety of
experiences when they enter this psychophysical state — feelings of serenity,
empathy, and compassion, warmth and tingling in the extremities, and so on. We
know a lot about this stage. For nearly half a century researchers have
described the physiological changes that are involved, including EEG patterns,
MRI and PET scan data, cardiovascular changes, immune modifications, and so on.
What’s the mechanism? Most researchers are comfortable using the energy-related
framework of conventional science in describing these events — biology,
chemistry, classical physics, anatomy, physiology. Let’s jump
to the third or “downstream” phase of spiritual healing. This involves the
response of the individual to whom the healing is directed. These changes may
involve a variety of physical sensations as well as physiological changes.
Controlled studies have documented positive responses in cardiovascular
disease, advanced AIDS, infertility, and so on. In nonhumans, studies have
demonstrated increased healing rates in surgical wounds in animals, increased
germination rates in seeds and the growth rates in plants, increased
replication rates of various types of microorganisms, decreased hemolytic rates
of red blood cells, altered kinetics of biochemical reactions, and so on. As
with the initial phase of spiritual healing, most researchers believe these
third-phase changes can also be described within the local, classical framework
that underlies modern physiological research. THE
NONLOCAL GAP Between the
initial and final phases of healing lies the most intriguing phase of all — the
distance between the healer and healee. We can call this phase the “nonlocal
gap,” because it can be described only by invoking the concepts of nonlocality,
as we shall see. Although we know that this spatial separation can be bridged
by the intentions, empathic wishes, and compassionate prayers of healers, and
by both conscious and unconscious thought, it remains a domain of great
mystery. These nonlocal behaviors of consciousness also have the ability to
generate intense emotional and intellectual revolt on the part of those wedded
to a thoroughly local view of reality. But these objections are destined to
become a footnote in history, because there is nothing in the whole of
Newtonian physics that can explain how this nonlocal gap is bridged. There is
no hope, even in principle, of applying classical, causal, local, energy-based
explanations to this in-between phase of spiritual healing. Although
energy”-based models may do quite well to explain what happens within healer
and healee, they don’t work in explaining what happens in this strange world between
the healer and healee. So this is why no single mechanism is going to
explain spiritual healing. http://www.noetic.org/research/dh/articles/HowHealingHappens.pdf
___________________________________________________________________ Meditation
builds up the brain Meditating
does more than just feel good and calm you down, it makes you perform better –
and alters the structure of your brain, researchers have found. People who
meditate say the practice restores their energy, and some claim they need less
sleep as a result. Many studies have reported that the brain works differently
during meditation – brainwave patterns change and neuronal firing patterns
synchronise. But whether meditation actually brings any of the restorative
benefits of sleep has remained largely unexplored. So Bruce
O’Hara and colleagues at the Ten
volunteers were tested before and after 40 minutes of either sleep, meditation,
reading or light conversation, with all subjects trying all conditions. The
40-minute nap was known to improve performance (after an hour or so to recover
from grogginess). But what astonished the researchers was that meditation was
the only intervention that immediately led to superior performance, despite
none of the volunteers being experienced at meditation. “Every
single subject showed improvement,” says O’Hara. The improvement was even more
dramatic after a night without sleep. But, he admits: “Why it improves
performance, we do not know.” The team is now studying experienced meditators,
who spend several hours each day in practice. What effect
meditating has on the structure of the brain has also been a matter of some debate.
Now Sara Lazar at the They found
that meditating actually increases the thickness of the cortex in areas
involved in attention and sensory processing, such as the prefrontal cortex and
the right anterior insula. “You are
exercising it while you meditate, and it gets bigger,” she says. The finding is
in line with studies showing that accomplished musicians, athletes and
linguists all have thickening in relevant areas of the cortex. It is further
evidence, says Lazar, that yogis “aren’t just sitting there doing
nothing". The growth
of the cortex is not due to the growth of new neurons, she points out, but
results from wider blood vessels, more supporting structures such as glia and
astrocytes, and increased branching and connections. ______________________________________________________________________________ Even Modest Weight Loss Is Good For Your Health Even slight
reductions in weight can have a significant, positive impact on the health of
overweight individuals. A lot of people think that in order to have any health
benefits associated with weight loss they have to look like an aerobic
instructor. But studies have shown that even a modest amount of weight loss of
5% to 10% -- providing that you keep it off -- is going to have very nice
health benefits in the years ahead. Americans
who are overweight probably encompass more than half of the adult
population. Many overweight or obese individuals believe that only a
drastic reduction in body weight can prompt improvements in health. But the
study findings reveal that losing even a small amount of weight produces
significant health benefits. There were
significant economic benefits linked to weight loss, as well. According to the
researchers, individuals who lose 10% of total body weight -- and keep the
weight off -- can expect to save about $5,200 in medical costs over the course
of their lifespan. These costs include expenditures that would have otherwise
been spent treating hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, or a number of other
obesity-related conditions. http://www.mercola.com/1999/archive/weight_loss_good_for_health.htm
