Brain Scans Reveal Why Meditation Works

I think this kind of lends credence to allot of NLP tricks …

If you name your emotions, you can tame them, according to new research that suggests why meditation works.

Brain scans show that putting negative emotions into words calms the brains emotion center. That could explain meditation’s purported emotional benefits, because people who meditate often label their negative emotions in an effort to “let them go.”

Psychologists have long believed that people who talk about their feelings have more control over them, but they dont know why it works.

Discussing Transpersonal Art With Alex Grey

Nice interview with artist Alex Grey.

Well, my work is primarily examining the nature of consciousness, and it uses various mediums to explore that question. The work’s main subject is the question of human identity and life, so I examine the human body on the physical level and interlace the subtle energies and systems of understanding from both eastern and western occult mystical traditions. I take a multicultural perspective because I want to get as many truths as I can into the vision of what a human being is.
