An honor to write on this topic for @psyche_the_mag. Hoping to spark more interest in the nuances of internal experience. Thanks to @Psych_Writer for thoughtful editing. How to trust your body to boost mental and emotional health – psyche.co/guides/how-to-…

@RCarhartHarris My dad gave me a copy of this for my 14th birthday, and every time I reread it, it brings new revelations depending on the life phase I'm in.

I first read this magical book over twenty years ago. I wondered whether I’d imagined its magic. I hadn’t. What a joy to discover it again 🙏❤️☸️🕉️❤️🙏

@ScienceCaroline @newscientist Excited for this @ScienceCaroline! Such an important topic.

My latest for @newscientist is a sneak preview ch3 of Inner Sense. Available online today (£) and in print from Sat. Inner Sense is out in 3 weeks and available to preorder now!

@marcwittmann Now reading The Power of Now for the first time (or for All Time). Twin books in some ways.

@SagaMilena Just went through "Living Time" again. Going in spirals of insights each time. I am stunned anew.

Today, 25 years ago, the last painting of the millennium was created by my friend Dirk Thiel. Read my @PsychToday blog on art and existence and on where and how the last painting was created. psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/sens…

Okay this is getting a little spooky

Anesthesia induced dreams may help ease anxiety and trauma. Dr. Harrison Chow (@drpuppychow) and Boris D. Heifets (@TheBorisLab) are discovering parallels between the potential of psychedelic therapy and anesthesia dreams.

Great to finally get our research off the ground, funded, ready for clinically-rigorous testing and no longer accused of “pseudo-science”. Fantastic writing by Saga Briggs! bigthink.com/neuropsych/ins…

My first attempt at putting a talk up directly here (I usually just add links to the video on our channel youtube.com/channel/UC3pVa…). Here goes: this was a ~55 minute presentation and I had been asked to talk about the "Multiscale Human" (for humanatlas.io/events/2024-24…). I cover the topics of "what are we", "implications for biomedicine", and "future beyond human repair", from the perspectives of diverse intelligence at different spatial scales of our bodies and at the different time scales of evolution, development, and cognition.

If this is the last thing I share on this channel, I'm okay with that. opb.org/article/2024/1…
