Life is Impossible (BBC Documentary) How does your brain respond to pain? - Karen D. Davis Some people take aspirin or ibuprofen to treat everyday aches and pains, but how exactly do the different classes of pain relievers work? Learn about the basic physiology of how humans experience pain, and the mechanics of the medicines we've invented to block or circumvent that discomfort. Interested in the theories of pain, dating from the 17th century until modern times? See this article. Interested in how individual variability in brain circuits are related to mind-wandering from pain? See the original article and discussions in the scientific community Pain Research Forum and in the Health News from NPR. Interested in learning more about pain treatment and research? The IASP has a task force that develops pain-related terms and their definitions. We think of pain as a symptom, but there are cases where the nervous system develops feedback loops and pain becomes a terrifying disease in itself. At any moment, there is an electrical storm coursing through your body.
The world observed through eyes that see: The greatest story never told In this blog entry (which will be my last) I will provide a small glimpse of the greatest story available to mankind. Experienced daily, but unknown to the masses, the same drama unfolds on all major layers of holographic nature: atomically, physically, mentally, spiritually and on planetary/ universal level and on all time frames (second, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years, lifetimes and ages). The information is too large to grasp and too complex to put into words, thus revelation of a simple, well known myth may help to understand. knowledge (fire) enters and exits matter (mater, water) The myth that I choose reveals occult anatomy and true nature of man, the universal power of mysteries and of myth itself and it proves beyond any doubt that we live today in the mental ruins of ancient knowledge, not even knowing what it is that we lost and why we should have a need to get it back. Who is this man? The highest knowledge of humanity, condensed in 12 symbols white matter, "snow"
The Hard-Core Mindfulness Yogis of Vermont - Evolving Human A few weeks ago, I had a rather remarkable week in Burlington, Vermont. There’s a 6-month, in-depth residential Mindfulness training program going on there. It’s hard to know exactly what to call it. In Burlington, they refer to it as ‘The Monastery’. The program is divided into two three-month segments – three months of very intensive retreat practice (10-12 hours a day of formal practice, at the level you’d see in a Zen monastery), followed by three months of mindfulness teacher training and teaching mindfulness to teens in the city of Burlington. They had a one-week guest program, so I signed on, with the intention to explore whether this type of program might be suitable for me at some point. The teacher leading this program is 37 year old Soryu Forall (an article about Soryu), who started a company called The Center for Mindful Learning (CML), which specializes in Mindfulness training in a classroom environment. There were nightly teachings given by Soryu.
How your muscular system works - Emma Bryce Every time we blink, take a walk, or lift something heavy, we have the muscular system to thank for enabling us to move. It’s such a big part of daily life, and so physically vast, that it helps to have an overview of how this system works. This page from the National Institutes of Health provides a useful guide to the muscular system and the muscles’ various roles. And this helpful interactive chart gives you a front and back view of human muscles, grouped by type. Let’s zoom in and take a closer look at the different muscle types. Complementary muscle--also known as antagonistic muscles--are very helpful for a number of reasons we barely even have to think about: this source explains why. You might also be interested to learn more about the broader importance of the autonomous and somatic nervous systems, which both play a vital role in the muscular system’s function.
History | Aliens | Metaphysical | Expansions How Inviting the Unknown Helps Us Know Life More Richly by Maria Popova “The unknown was my encyclopedia. The unnamed was my science and progress.” “Have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves,” Rilke famously urged. “It is possible to live and NOT know,” Richard Feynman dissented in his memorable meditation on the responsibility of scientists. In an entry from April of 1945 found in The Diary of Anais Nin, Vol. 4: 1944-1947 (public library) — which also gave us Nin on the meaning of life, why emotional excess is essential to creativity, and how our objects define us — the beloved diarist and reconstructionist considers the vital importance of allowing for not-knowing in order to truly know the world in its fullest dimension, of using the unknown as a gateway to deeper presence and greater awareness: It is possible I never learned the names of birds in order to discover the bird of peace, the bird of paradise, the bird of the soul, the bird of desire.

How the heart actually pumps blood - Edmond Hui The technique of demonstrating the pumping mechanism of the heart was first shown in public in this TEDx Talk.The detailed scientific description of the technique was published in the European journal, Science in School. There is a beautiful app from Touch Press by Martin Clayton on Leonardo Da Vinci’s anatomical studies, explaining the difficulties he had trying to understand the heart.This book by Thomas Wright describes the discovery of circulation by William Harvey, a hundred years after Leonardo Da Vinci. Harvey was also the first to prove that the heart is a pump, but he did it by lethal and gory demonstrations on live dogs. Many animals would have been saved if he had discovered this technique!
Life Lessons From Remarkable Women Lately I have been reflecting upon all that I need to accomplish and am responsible for in my day-to-day life. Juggling two kids, running a small nonprofit, and finishing writing a book had me feeling a bit overwhelmed and frazzled these past few months. Many days I feel like I am split in far too many directions, with inadequate time to accomplish even a little bit of what I have to do, much less any time left over to recharge. My reflections have caused me to question what it is that I need regarding self-care, and what it is that truly strengthens and inspires me. Fortunately, I can draw from the wisdom and strength of a community of women leaders. Joan Roshi Halifax, author and abbot of the Upaya Zen Center: “You could say that every bird has two wings: one of those wings is the wing of contemplation, and the other wing is the wing of action. Anna Deveare Smith, actor, playwright, and professor: “I do believe in body, mind, and spirit.
The Living Body With meticulous and startling detail, The Living Body examines the miracle of the human species from birth to death. The journey of a human life - the inner processes that bind us all - has rarely been rendered with such stunning clarity and insight. An Emmy-winning feature length documentary produced by Naked Science, The Living Body utilizes 3D computerized graphics, cutting-edge special effects and exploratory footage from actual human subjects to dramatize the manner by which our complex design accommodates each milestone phase of human development. The revelations begin at the moment of birth. Filled with amniotic fluid, a baby's lungs have never before breathed air while in the womb. The narrative of the newly born human species continues with the development of our five senses, the cerebral impulses that lead to an understanding of language and behaviors, and the bone and muscle structures which allow us to take our first step. The film addresses the mysteries of aging as well.
If the Web Preceded Print: The New Golden Age of Book Design and Creativity on Paper by Maria Popova “This is an important and wonderful time to be a writer, a storyteller, a designer, a reader.” “The mind, the brain, the top of the tingling spine, is, or should be, the only instrument used upon a book,” Nabokov wrote in his treatise on what makes a good reader. And yet, as the future of storytelling hangs in anxiety-inducing uncertainty and the question of how to read a book continues to evolve its answers, analog books are challenged to reinvent themselves in marvelous ways and the value of exceptional book design is celebrated with rising reverence. That’s precisely what the fine folks of Gestalten — who have a knack for pictorial magic, visual storytelling, and art as sensemaking — explore in Fully Booked — Ink on Paper: Design and Concepts for New Publications (public library). In the introduction, which begins on the book’s very cover, Andrew Losowsky presents an irreverent and brilliant in its perspective-shifting quality reversal of media history: Share on Tumblr
