Many past studies have addressed the synching of nervous systems between couples in relationship, as well as behavioral patterns. But for this new study, the authors wanted to determine the relationship between pain sensation and touch. Lead author Pavel Goldstein came up with the idea after he witnessed the birth of his daughter four years ago.
"My wife was in pain, and all I could think was, 'What can I do to help her?’ I reached for her and it seemed to help," he said on ScienceDaily.com. "I wanted to test it out in a lab: Can one really decrease pain with touch, and if so, how?"
Goldstein and his team observed 22 heterosexual couples, aged 23 to 32 and had them undergo a series of tests that would mimic a delivery-room scenario. Men were given the role of the observer while the women were the pain target. Couples were divided into three scenarios: the first where they sat together, not touching, the second where they sat together holding hands, and the third where they sat in separate rooms. Women were strapped to equipment that measured their heart and breathing rates. Each couple repeated all three scenarios as the woman was subjected to a mild heat pain on her forearm for two minutes.
Researchers found that couples synced physiologically in various degrees just by sitting together. When the man was allowed to touch his partner, both their heart rates synchronized and the woman’s pain decreased significantly. However, when the men couldn’t touch their partners, no synchronization was observed.
Goldstein commented: "It appears that pain totally interrupts this interpersonal synchronization between couples. Touch brings it back."
In addition, Goldstein’s previous studies have concluded that the more empathy the man had for the woman, as measured in other tests, the more her pain was reduced. Moreover, the more physiologically synchronized the couple was, the less pain the woman was likely to feel.

Extraterrestial Technologies Could Be Listening to Your Voice
Scientists have reminded us today that even the simplest things--our voice for example--have potentially huge impacts in space communication.
John Stuart Reid, an acoustic-physics researcher, recently published a fascinating hypothesis on the therapeutic potential of sound, and how our voices could, even years after our death, be heard as "songs" in the universe.
Taken on an energetic level, sound and light are just different ways atoms interact with each other. Every sensation, every color is a specific "hum" in the universe--or just how these atoms vibrate against one other.
Atomic collisions caused by sound (or your voice) are carried away in the air, causing small amounts of heat (infrared light). Reid contends that this simple mechanism travels at a speed of 186,000 miles per second. Naturally, the amount of energy the sound produces drops with distance, but the infrared bubble created by your voice could — technically — travel forever as long as it is not impeded by a dense molecular matter.
What does that mean in terms of space communication? It sounds like the plot of a sci-fi novel, but theoretically speaking, your voice could be heard by other planets. It may take decades to do so, but your unique voice can travel all the way to the stars.
It would work both ways as well. Already scientists are working on "listening" to the sounds of stars. There is a branch of astronomy, called asteoseismology, that deals specifically with this. Astronomers monitor the heavens using a very sensitive infrared instrument to hear the atomic messages of stars and potential extraterrestrial life. They believe that the next "alien" message is not one that was not deliberately transmitted into space, but one that is actually an infrared light "song."
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: Our own planet emits its own "song", known as the Schumann Resonance. By tuning into this resonance, the body synchs up with the planetary vibration and gains a quantum leap in healing and well-being. Use our beautiful Schumann Resonance Crystals to start your body vibrating to this healing planetary song.
Psychobiotic Bacteria Assist Your Brain
In your body, particular cells perform specific functions. Neurons, for example, make up the different parts of the nervous system, including your brain and nerves. You’d be surprised, therefore, to find that your intestines also contain neurons – about 100 million of them, in fact. That’s more neurons than even the spinal cord is made of.
For the most part, psychobiotics are normal probiotics, but they perform more than the roles performed by normal gut bacteria. Their function is so significant that some experts see them as the new frontier in the treatment of mental illnesses like depression and anxiety. Some of their mechanisms include the following.
They communicate with the brain via the vagus nerve - Ted Dinan, professor of psychiatry at University College Cork, and his colleagues found that giving mice the probiotic Lactobacillus rhamnosus reduced signs of stress, anxiety, and depression in the animals. However, the same effect did not occur in mice whose vagus nerve was severed. The vagus nerve is a long cranial nerve that facilitates communication between the brain and the intestines.
They can synthesize neurotransmitters - Neurotransmitters are chemicals that brain cells use to relay messages to and from each other. Gut microbiota has been found to synthesize important neurotransmitters like serotonin, gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA), dopamine, acetylcholine, and norepinephrine. As a matter of fact, over 90 percent of your serotonin and 50 percent of your dopamine are in your gut.
They can mitigate stress hormones - Cortisol can cause a wide variety of mental disorders ranging from brain fog and impaired concentration to mood swings, depression, and anxiety. In a study, participants took probiotics (Lactobacillus helveticus and Bifidobacterium longum) for a month. After the treatment, they showed markedly decreased cortisol levels, resulting in a better mood.
They can attenuate brain inflammation - Certain gut bacteria species have been identified as being able to regulate the action of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Too much of these chemicals in the body has been linked to memory loss, depression, cognitive disorders, and mood disorders.
They protect your brain from damage - Lactobacilli and Bifidobacteria bacteria have been found to have antioxidant effects. They help prevent oxidative damage brought about by the action of oxygen-carrying free radicals. The brain, being one of the biggest users of your oxygen supply, is especially vulnerable to the harmful effects of free radicals.
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: Ensuring a good population of probiotics is essential to good health. Use our Plantadophilus probiotic formula to build up your psychobiotic profile.
Ho'oponopono
This is a healing technique developed and used by Hawaiian shamans (kahunas). It is a form of imaginal light healing, having four distinct parts to the process, and is especially useful in distance healing. The basic principle is that the kahuna recognizes her part in the creation of disease in another, by virtue of the fact that because she is aware of this disease in another person, she in fact, is a co-creator of it. The kahuna then applies the technique of Honoponono in this way: Holding the disease in her imagination, she then addresses the disease with, "I'm sorry, forgive me, thank you, I love you." These languaged energies have the effect of dispersing or collapsing the energies of the disease in another person, allowing their body's healing powers to prevail. Of course, this can also be used on oneself. You can use this technique along with Take it Away and Gratitude. (From 25 No Cost Health & Healing Hacks)

"After working for many years as a traditional 'talk therapist', I was thrilled to find a technique that helped my clients in a fraction of the time talk therapy required. Today I specialize in helping people with depression, anxiety and trauma. I see a wide range of clients including people who have sustained childhood physical or sexual abuse, have anxiety attacks, are going through a loss (including divorce), are suffering with depression, and those who need support during one of life's transitions. I love working with and teaching my clients EFT. It is simply the most effective treatment I have ever come across. The results are rapid and usually permanent, and hundreds of people have changed their lives for the better. What could be more exciting than that? I invite you to learn more about EFT either through a private session or a workshop. EFT is the fastest, most gentle and effective therapy I’ve found and I’m excited about sharing it with you! Feel free to call me and we can talk about your personal goals and how EFT can get you there 415.215.3456." - Michelle

I'm not long for this world. Not to say I'm leaving a world, but to say this current externalized world is not where I'm headed. Call it a "parallel universe", "alternate timeline", or "dimension"--it's the journey I've come here to undertake.
Of course, the metaphor for "the gods" is the Higher Self--that overseeing consciousness beyond space and time, and yet also a participant in life with the temporal self. And here we have the crux of the matter. The temporal self can look out upon the world and see a reflection of past decisions, past and present states of being, and externalized intentions. The Higher Self looks upon the entire life--past, present and future--and like the Biblical Creator on the 7th Day declares "All is good."
Dr. Kniffin and his colleagues from Cornwell University, Dr. Jubo Yan, Dr. Brian Wansink, and Dr. William Schulze, referenced two separate studies that they spearheaded to evaluate the influence of different types of music on the cooperative behavior of 266 people.

Are you the way you are because of the genes you inherited from your parents or because of the experiences you have had in your life? That has been the question asked for hundreds of years in the nature vs. nurture debate. Yet, this is where it gets quite fascinating. It turns out that nature and nurture are inextricably intertwined.
The body can use many methods to signal you as to its knowledge and awareness about something. In kinesiology, it's "weak" and "strong". The body will go weak when addressing something not good for it, and will remain strong when it's something good for it. There are many demonstrations of way to access this response on YouTube, but I have my favorites. One is the index finger to thumb method. Place the pad of your thumb over the nail on your index finger. Then, "flick" the index finger off the thumb. You are attempting to hold the index finger with the pad of the thumb. When there is a weak response, you will not be able to hold the index finger on the thumb. When there is a strong response, you'll be able to hold the index finger on the thumb. To begin using this method, you'll need a reference as to what the "strong" and "weak" signals are. A simple test is to hold the index finger with the thumb pad and test the statement: My name is JOE (a name not yours). You'll find there is a weak response, and you will not be able to hold the index finger with the thumb pad. This will calibrate how much strength to use while holding the index finger with the thumb pad. You can use this method to find out "yes" and "no" answers about virtually anything, and those answers will be uncannily accurate. Although I mostly use this technique when it comes to shopping for food for the body to eat, it's great for selecting restaurants, car mechanics, TV shows, well, anything. (From

I keep coming back to this "non-duality" concept, because it is so much at the crux of creation, and indeed, why we as infinite creators continually choose to participate in such an extreme form of duality.
