The Science and Mystery of Healing--Part Two

In part one, we briefly explored the biology of healing and met our protagonists Elena and Maya Reyes. Today, we join Elena on her three-month healing journey in India in the Case of The Twin Paradox — Part Two, told through journal entries. The act of healing, whether from physical trauma or the pain of loss, heartbreak, or contending with life's continuous bends in the road, is an art. It requires patience, diligence, understanding, and the willingness to change, just as Elena's journey will reveal to her. There is a beautiful African proverb I have incorporated into my daily meditation: When the roots are strong, there is no reason to fear the wind. The gateway is open.

The Science and Mystery of Healing--Part One

The subject of healing is a deep well of biological and metaphysical information. Organically, wound healing is a basic four-phase process — the science is clear on that. But what about after the physical body heals, when we are left with chronic pain or extreme changes in our daily life due to injury or extensive surgery? Is the process of healing objective or subjective? Or a combination of the two? What are the factors that contribute to one person's healing over another's? In this two-part series, including our tale titled The Case of the Twin Paradox, we will delve into the many questions surrounding the process of healing, both physically and metaphysically.

The Confusing Case of the Three Witnesses

You believe that what you see, hear, and feel is an accurate representation of reality. You trust your eyes! But here's the unsettling truth: You're living an illusion constructed by your brain. Here's the reality question: If most of what we see is actually prediction rather than raw sensory input, how much of our reality is...well, real? And at what point does 'filling in the blanks' become 'making it up'? As humans, we are most comfortable with boundaries and neatly packaged theories. Our brains seek balance in our perceptions, yet, like the universe, there are no boundaries. When we consider reaching beyond those tenets we live by, what then?

The Mysterious Case of Jordan Reeves

Emotional crying is uniquely human. Among all mammals on Earth, humans alone shed tears in response to feelings. We cry at weddings, funerals, at movies, and if you're anything like me, at videos of animal abuse, at the birth of children, and at the loss of loved ones. But here's the mystery: Why? Join Dr. Clare Thompson as she tries to understand why her test subject and research assistant, Jordan Reeves, does not cry. Not once. Ever.

Dreams Part Three

What happens when someone moves through the physical world while their conscious mind remains asleep? Sleepwalking is a phenomenon that combines sleep and wakefulness, creating a truly liminal state. What about daydreaming? In our story today, The Case of Charlie Stone, our main character learns something heartfelt when he begins sleepwalking in the house he inherited from his father. Both sleepwalking and daydreaming raise the fundamental question: Where are you when you're not here? And...where does consciousness go? Or does it really go anywhere at all?
