(Steve Taylor, Ph.D.) Recently I’ve been working on a book about transformational experiences that occur in unusual and difficult situations. I have chapters on transformational experiences in soldiers, prisoners, alcoholics, or drug addicts, for example.

As the Coronavirus Sweeps around the World, Our Planet is on the Verge of Evolution
(Nanice Ellis) Even though 2020 might go down in history as “the year the world stood still,” something much bigger is happening behind the scenes. You see, while all eyes are on the global pandemic, our planet is on the verge of evolution. However, make no mistake, the convergence of these two events is no coincidence.
The Role of Mindfulness in Alleviating the Opioid Addiction Crisis
(Nikki Harper) Here at WuW, we’ve reported on the opioid addiction crisis several times. The statistics make for grim reading indeed, with more than 130 people in the US dying every day as a result of opioid addiction, including the misuse of prescription painkillers [1]. However, with over 20% of the US population experiencing chronic pain [2] and with opioid painkillers frequently being prescribed to this demographic, the crisis shows little sign of abating.
Knowledge Does Not Automatically Equal Awakening: Take Action on What You Know
(Catherine Cates) Being awake or conscious does not mean having a lot of knowledge about the universe, manifesting, psychic phenomena etc. You may well have such knowledge, but that does not necessarily mean that you are awake. It’s great to know about universal laws, but can you apply them? It’s interesting to know about angels, but does that help you wake up?
Are You Sleeping in a Safe Place? The Hidden Danger of Geopathic Stress
(Sandy Brightman) The Earth has a natural background frequency of 7.83Hz, known as the Schumann Resonance, which corresponds to alpha brain waves in humans. When this frequency is thrown out of balance by other energies (either natural or manmade) we can also go out of balance. Our immune systems can weaken, thus inviting any number of illnesses to enter. NASA had to develop Earth Pulse Generators to mimic this natural frequency in spacecraft after finding astronauts lost tone and body mass living without the background 7.83Hz frequency.
10 Signs You Could Be Psychic
(Nikki Harper) Are you psychic? Could you develop your psychic skills or become a medium? There are some schools of thought which hold that we are all psychic to a greater or lesser extent, while others believe that only some people are born with natural psychic skills, or may develop them later in life. Whichever is true, there are some sure fire signs that your own psychic abilities may be awakening, and that it’s time for you to look into psychic development.
Pancreatic Enzymes: What They Do and Why You Need Them
(Dr. Edward F. Group) We all have times when we eat too much — holiday meals, for example. While the body can handle occasional overeating, doing it on a regular basis causes more harm than just weight gain. When you eat, your organs must secrete digestive enzymes to break down all that delicious food into useful nutrients. Overeating or drinking to excess strains the pancreas and other organs.
How to Argue Happily: Bank Easy Successes First
(Nikki Harper) Relationships are not easy. All couples argue, whether they’ve only just met or have been together for decades. Even the most stable couples are still two individual people, who will have different views, wishes and ideas at least some of the time during their relationship. However, new research suggests that the happiest couples tend to argue in a distinct way, which could account for their ongoing happiness.
Psilocybin and Mindfulness Meditation Combined: Possible Hope for Treatment of Depression and Anxiety?
(Nikki Harper) It has long been known that psilocybin, found in ‘magic mushrooms’, can create feelings of a connection to the collective consciousness, and a dissolution of the self – often in experiences which prove positively life-changing for the participants [1]. Now new research has for the first time examined the effect of adding mindfulness meditation to the psilocybin experience, and the results may offer hope for eventual therapeutic treatment of depression and anxiety.
9 Tips for Surviving Toxic Family Members at Christmas
(Nikki Harper) It’s nearly Christmas! What a wonderful time of year for getting together with family members we don’t see nearly often enough! Happiness, joy, laughter and memorable togetherness all round – right? Perhaps. If you’re lucky. Christmas truly is a joyful time for many families – but for many others, the presence of toxic family members can turn Christmas get-togethers into something to be endured at best, or at worst even feared.
Experiences of God – Whether Spontaneous or Via Psychedelics – Bring Lasting Mental Health Benefits
(Nikki Harper) Research from John Hopkins University and the Council of Spiritual Practices has confirmed something we may have instinctively guessed at – a spiritually significant encounter with whatever you believe to be god brings mental health benefits which can last for decades after the encounter.
Dance as Activism – How Dance Can Bond Communities
(Anna Swisher) How can you make a difference? How can you embody systemic change at a local level? How do you not burn out? How can you enjoy your life while simultaneously fighting violence, destruction and collapse? What can you do in your community to support the healing of our world? Aren’t you curious if we can do things differently – and together?
How Your Emotions Affect Your Organ Health
(Hilde Larson) After years of studying health and how to allow the body to naturally heal, there is one topic that keeps coming back to me as significant, and that is the body-emotion connection. The key role they play in our physical wellbeing, and how much gunk we carry from early childhood. From our upbringing, our traumas, conditioning and belief system. How everything we ever lived is stored in our cells, and how our emotional terrain affects our vital organs.
Brain Exercises: 12 Simple Ways to Stimulate Your Mind and Memory
(Dr. Edward F. Group) Did you know your brain can atrophy or shrink if you don’t train it regularly? When the brain atrophies, your ability to remember, think clearly, and make decisions shrinks, as well. The good news? You can strengthen your mental acuity with brain exercises! You can do these regularly, throughout life.
Heartburn Relief at Home: 11 Easy, Effective Remedies and Tips
(Dr. Edward F. Group) You recognize that feeling, a slight burp followed by a chestful of fire. Heartburn. It can be so uncomfortable that many people have even confused it for a heart attack. Also known as acid reflux, indigestion, or pyrosis, heartburn is a common ailment.
