In 2005, Professor of Physics and Astronomy at Johns Hopkins University Richard Conn Henry published a paper in the journal Nature titled "The Mental Universe." In it, he writes the following:

A fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a "mental" construction. Pioneering physicist Sir James Jeans wrote: "The stream of knowledge is heading toward a non-mechanical reality; the universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine. Mind no longer appears to be an accidental intruder into the realm of matter, we ought rather hail it as the creator and governor of the realm of matter. The universe is immaterial--mental and spiritual.

The underlying idea he's getting across with this statement is that in some way shape or form, consciousness is directly intertwined with what we perceive to be our physical material world, and that the nature of reality is made up of non-physical "stuff."

Dr. Jessica Utts, the Chair of the Department of Statistics at the University of California, Irvine and a professor there since 2008. A paper published in Frontiers of Neuroscience Emphasizes:

Research on parapsychological phenomena (psi) is being carried out in various accredited universities and research centers throughout the world by academics in different disciplines trained in the scientific method (e.g., circa 80 Ph.D.s have been awarded in psi-related topics in the UK in recent years). This research has continued for over a century despite the taboo against investigating the topic, almost complete lack of funding, and professional and personal attacks (Cardeña, 201). The Parapsychological Association has been an affiliate of the AAAS since 1969, and more than 20 Nobel prizewinners and many other eminent scientists have supported the study of psi or even conducted research themselves.

So why is there such a strong resistance? Could it simply be that the implications with regards to the findings within these realms are too great? When physics changes, so do global paradigms and the perceptions people have of our world. Some discoveries literally have the ability shatter the way we perceive our modern day world, and perhaps change the way we live and even have us question the way we live.

Despite the unrivaled empirical success of quantum theory, the very suggestion that it may be literally true as a description of nature is still greeted with cynicism, incomprehension and even anger." (T. Folger, "Quantum Shmantum"; Discover 22:37-43, 2001)

The "quantum double slit" experiment is one that has been used to examine the connection between physical matter and human consciousness. It brings up what's known as quantum uncertainty which is defined as the ability, "according to the quantum mechanic laws that govern subatomic affairs, of a particle like an electron to exist in a murky state of possibility — to be anywhere, everywhere or nowhere at all — until clicked into substantiality by a laboratory detector or an eyeball."

A paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Physics Essays explains how this experiment has been used multiple times to explore the role of consciousness in shaping the nature of physical reality. It was published by Dr. Dean Radin, who you will see in the lecture below. He's the chief scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences. He produced incredible results: Human intention, via meditators, was able to actually collapse the quantum wave function. The meditators were the "observer" in this case.

In fact, as Radin points out in his lecture, a "5 sigma" result was able to give CERN the Nobel Prize in 2013 for finding the Higgs particle (which turned out not to be Higgs after all). In this study, they also received a 5 sigma result when testing meditators against non-meditators in collapsing the quantum wave function. This means that mental activity, the human mind, attention, intention, which are a few labels under the umbrella of consciousness, compelled physical matter to act in a certain way.

"Observations not only disturb what has to be measured, they produce it. We compel [the electron] to assume a definite position. We ourselves produce the results of the measurement."

The limbic system first appeared in mammals about 150 million years ago, during the late Jurassic period. It's the part of the brain that handles the fear response, thanks to an almond-shaped mass of gray matter called the amygdala. This part of the brain tells the rest of the body that it's in danger, triggering either the fight or flight response, triggering the sympathetic nervous system. Adrenaline courses through the bloodstream. Heart rate and breathing quicken and blood pressure rises. The hypothalamus prompts the pituitary gland to pump out hormones that trigger the release of cortisol. The body pulls blood out of the extremities and into the core muscles and organs it needs to either fight off a threat or flee from it. Growth and digestion are both halted since neither functions are critical in the moment.

"It's natural and even sometimes beneficial to have a stress response," Sims says. "But we want to find balance. When we are constantly stressed, our bodies aren't doing what they are supposed to do. It's why we see a lot of digestive issues that are strongly linked to stress," says Shannon Sims, the Department of Mind-Body Medicine at Saybrook University in Oakland, CA.

The antidote is stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system nicknamed "rest and digest" — brings relaxation to the body, and breathing is one of the best ways to do it. One full breath can be enough to stop that biological process. That's because while we typically only breathe into the top quadrant of our lungs, the bottom quadrant is where "all that oxygenation is happening." Using the bottom of your lungs, located just above the belly button, helps oxygenate your blood and your brain. Taking full, long breaths also cuts down on the variability in time between heartbeats.

"Heart rate variability is a marker of resilience," Sims says. "If we can improve our heart rate variability, we can improve our reaction to stressful things in our life."

The breath is the only system in the body that can be both automatic and voluntary. We don't have to remember to breathe, but we can consciously change the speed and depth. Even so, the seemingly simple act of breathing may take practice.

According to Sims, the sweet spot is inhaling for four to six seconds and matching your exhale. However, some research suggests a short inhale and longer exhale better stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system and is, therefore, more effective in calming the stress response.

3 BREATHING TECHNIQUES TO REDUCE STRESS

1. Box breathing is a four-step de-stressing technique that Navy SEALs use to calm their stress response. To practice it:

1. Inhale for four seconds
2. Hold that breath for another four seconds
3. Exhale for four seconds
4. Hold for four seconds
5. Repeat

2. The 4-7-8 breath relaxation exercise uses a similar approach, using the theory that a longer exhale produces a more potent psychophysiological calming effect.

3. Diaphragmatic breathing focuses on moving the breath into the belly or lower lungs. To start, sit or stand with your back straight and place one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Inhale through the nose for six seconds while keeping your chest as still as possible and expanding the breath into your lower lungs. Then, exhale for six seconds.

In one small study of eight people, published in the Journal of Neurophysiology, researchers used fMRI scans to reveal that voluntary or controlled breathing engages a different part of the brain (the frontotemporal-insular cortices) than automatic breathing (the cingulate cortex). "Breathing is so incredible because of this psychophysiological relationship," says Sims. "Just one breath is so magnificent."

AMAZING PRODUCT ALERT: Biophotons
The Biophotons mandala works on the energetic level to intensify and fortify the body's natural biophotonic field. In 1974, Fritz-Albert Popp discovered that the DNA of all living systems naturally absorb and emit photons (i.e., light). He also discovered that the intensity of this biophotonic field correlated with the health of the subject. In other words, healthy subjects had strong biophotonic fields, while subjects dealing with illness tended to have weak biophotonic fields. He found a similar correlation with agriculture. Food grown naturally in the wild had the strongest biophotonic field. Organically grown food was next in line for the strongest biophotonic field. And last, in terms of biophotonic strength, was commercially grown food. Biophotons have also been shown to be emitted from stimulated acupuncture points. This biophoton therapy signature is sourced directly from the quantum field and enhances the biophotonic field by reinforcing and intensifying it so that it does not dissipate and "leak" as much as it normally would. MORE INFO / ORDER
