Working through a broken heart is no easy feat. However, if you understand a little psychology about human nature, the process can be a lot more simple than you think. 

It’s simple:

When we’re shown praise, it makes us feel good. When we’re told something negative about ourselves, it brings us down. We might get mad at the person who is telling us something we don’t want to hear, but in those moments we need to choose to grow.

We’re told that no external thing or person should control our happiness; that we need to be independent. The system of life doesn’t work like that. Nothing is independent, we are all one big interdependent organism. Other peoples emotions, actions and thoughts will always effect us because we are more intimately connected than we can even understand.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.”  Continue reading →

Scientific knowledge is expanding every day at an exponential rate, and the implications of new developments, particularly those that challenge the current framework regarding the true nature of reality, are far-reaching indeed. One area that continues to become a focal point of study for many physicians and neuroscientists is the relationship between mind, brain, and consciousness.

Is the brain a receiver of consciousness, or is consciousness a product of the brain? Although science has not yet shown with absolute certainty that consciousness exists separately from our physical organs, there is a lot of evidence (both anecdotal and scientific) which indicates that consciousness is something completely separate – that it continues on even after we have deceased, that it is and can be a separate “thing” from the brain. There seems to be a lot of consistency when it comes to studies that have examined this issue. New findings within this field are rapidly changing how we perceive and relate to the physical world.

Below is a video of Dr. Bruce Greyson speaking at a conference that was held by the United Nations. He is considered to be one of the “fathers” of near death studies. He is Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Science at the University of Virginia.

In the video he describes documented cases of individuals who were clinically dead (showing no brain activity), but observing everything that was happening to them on the medical table below at the same time. He describes how there have been many instances of this – where individuals are able to describe things that should have been impossible to describe. Continue reading →

When you think of having a broken heart, you may envision tears, sadness, loss and all of the feelings that go with it. However what we tend to overlook, are the cardiac consequences on our own physical hearts.

The loss of a loved one through death or break-up can be so emotionally devastating, that it can lead to broken heart syndrome.

According to a new study, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, this heart rhythm condition now verifies that you really can die from a broken heart, known as “stress cardiomyopathy”.

The international study is the first wide scale examination of the condition, after its original description “Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy” (named for an octopus trap that resembles the changed shape of the heart after a stressful event) was given by researchers in Japan in 1990.

The study found that 27.7% of 1750 people tested were triggered by emotional circumstances, and 36% developed the condition, due to physical symptoms. Continue reading →
