With the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics well underway, millions of spectators are marveling at the physical skill and talent of the athletes competing in the Games.

But behind these athletes" physical feats is an arguably even more impressive mental prowess cultivated through years of training the mind to tune out distractions, reduce stress and anxiety and build the focus and stamina they need to achieve optimal performance. In fact, it"s not a stretch to say that great athletes succeed because they know how to stay at the top of their game mentally.

The Case for Child Meditation

   Although I don"t often get the opportunity, I really enjoy talking to children about mindfulness and meditation.  Meditation has been proven again and again to improve every facet of your life.  But it"s not just for adults.  Meditation and mindfulness practices in children have been becoming increasingly popular.  One of the reasons is the fact that many pro coaches admit to teaching meditation to their players.  But I think another reason is a need for spiritual awareness.  Somewhere along the way, we have lost touch with the fact that we are spiritual creatures.  However, just in case your cynicism is at an all-time high, there have been so many studies done to prove the effectiveness of meditation among children.  It has been proven to reduce stress and impulsiveness, improve academic, sports, AND behavior performances.  And the best part is, your child can use meditation for the rest of his or her life.

Why Athletes Should Meditate

written by Robert Piper -Huffington Post on 18, March 2014

How many times in a conversation about sports have you heard the phrase, "It"s all mental"? Well in one way or another, it"s true. A mind that is not under control is a mind that makes mistakes. Mistakes that could lose a game. ...

Truth in Teleportation

This article is taken from Collective Evolution

The concept of teleportation comes primarily from science fiction literature throughout human history, but things are changing. It’s 2014 and developments in quantum theory and general relativity physics have been successful in exploring the concept of teleportation for quite some time now.

Today, numerous teleportation breakthroughs have been made. One example is the work of Professor Rainer Blatt, at the University of Innsbruck. They were successfully able to perform teleportation on atoms for the first time, their work was published in the journal Nature.(1) They were able to transfer key properties of one particle to another without using any physical link. In this case, teleportation

The Placebo Effect

this article is taken from Harvard Health Publications

Rather than dismiss it, we should try to understand the placebo effect and harness it when we can.

For a long time, the placebo effect was held in low regard. If people responded to a suspect treatment, we said it was "just the placebo effect." The suggestion was that they had been fooled in some way, and their response was inauthentic.

But attitudes are shifting, even in conventional medical circles. Randomized trials, some of them led by researchers at the Harvard-wide Program in Placebo Studies and the Therapeutic Encounter, have deepened the understanding of the placebo effect and its various components. Researchers have also used brain scans and other technologies to show that there may be a physiological explanation for the placebo effect in many

Endurance Runners: Ailments and Treatments

         I live on a small island. It seems like every weekend there is a running event for charity going on here.  I can"t even recall the last time I saw an event being advertised as "just" a 5K.  Not that I am complaining.  Quite the contrary.  I love to see the hoards of people running for something in which they believe.  I really admire endurance athletes.  I think endurance runners are some of the most physically fit people around.  Seeing masses of healthy people always makes me happy, because those people realize how important it is to take care of their bodies.  There is a shortage of healthful people in this world.  And although I would like to blame Monsanto (aka Obama"s Food Tzar) and all those evil-boxed-food companies, I can"t.

Our Minds Alter Water...wait...What?!

This was first published by Arjun Walia for Collective Evolution

Ten years ago, if you told somebody that human consciousness alone can have a direct effect on our physical world they would probably look at you like you’re crazy. Today, however, is a different story. Within the past few years mainstream science is catching on to the fact that yes, consciousness is correlated and can have a direct effect on what we call our physical material world.

Experiments over the past four decades have investigated whether human intention alone affects the properties of water.(1) This question has been of interest to alternative medicine research, because the human body is made up of approximately 70% water. Interest in this topic has been rekindled recently by multiple researchers suggesting that intentionally influenced water can be detected by examining ice

Remote Viewing Reality

This article was written by Arjun Walai for Collective Evolution

 

Remote viewing can be defined in multiple ways. It’s the ability of individuals to describe a remote geographical location up to several hundred thousand kilometres away (even more) from their physical location. Although the concept has been proven, it’s not clear to the mainstream scientific community how it’s achieved. It’s important to note that a lot of the research within these programs remains classified, and the majority of the information we do have today was previously classified(2) only to be approved for release years later. It makes you wonder, what information with regards to the remote viewing phenomenon remains classified?

5 (Mental) Keys to Peak Performance

The best of the best athletes can choke.  No matter what sport you play, how many miles you run, how many targets you break, at some point, you may choke.  It really does happen to the best of us.  The  main reason this happens is that you have left a gaping hole in your mental game.  Let me be completely honest, even if you work with a mental trainer and sharpen your mental acuity, failure is still an option.  Unfortunately, there is no pill you can take to make you perfect.  But what you can do to achieve peak performance is learn to use the power of your brain.  There are five (mental) keys to achieve peak performance from a mental training standpoint.  If you can understand and implement these five (mental) keys, you are well on your way to becoming a more successful athlete.

Global Consciousness Experiment

taken from Collective Evolution, written by Joe Martino

A Russian scientist has been studying the human energy field and is claiming that people can change the world simply by using their own energy. While this idea is not new, not too many have taken the time to scientifically go about proving such ideas -although the field of quantum physics has shed some powerful light on the topic over the years. Dr. Konstantin Korotkov, professor of physics at St. Petersburg State Technical University, states that when we think positive and negative thoughts, each have a different impact on our surrounding environment.

 
“We are developing the idea that our consciousness is part of the material world and that with our consciousness we can directly influence our world,” said Dr. Konstantin Korotkov.

Hypnotherapy and PTSD

Hypnotherapy, for most people is viewed as a hoodwinked way to make money.  It has been looked at unfavorably for years across many professions.  Time and time again, you will hear people tell you it does not work.  I say, the proof is right in front of you! Finally, it has emerged as a credible, evidence-based treatment option for sufferers of PTSD that is used not only in certain branches of the military, but widespread throughout stress-inducing careers.  PTSD, or Post-traumatic Stress Disorder, consists of a series of symptoms that arise from a traumatic event which occurs in one’s life. The symptoms of PTSD usually consist of:

Psychokinesis Experimentation

Psychokinesis, also known as PK, encompasses the possible influence of human consciousness on the behavior of physical or biological systems or processes, and comprises several loosely related classes of effect characterized by different scales of energy, forms of manifestation, replicability and statistical behavior.  In this video, a doctor explains AND demonstrates the existence of psychokinesis.

Quantum Double Slit Experiment

The quantum double slit experiment is a great example of how consciousness and our physical material world are intertwined.  The video shows scientific proof that there is something NOT quite logical or scientific about this universe. The mere act of observation can completely change the outcome of an event!

Consciousness and the Material World

This article was written by Arjun Walai for Collective Evolution

 

Nikola Tesla said it best, “the day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence. To understand the true nature of the universe, one must think it terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Swami Vivekananda influenced Tesla’s work, an Indian Hindu monk and chief disciple of the 19th century saint Ramakrishna. Tesla was also influenced by other Vedic philosophies.

Science works best when in harmony with nature. If we put these two together, we can discover great technologies that can only come about when the consciousness of the planet is ready to embrace them, like free energy.
