Do Subliminals Work?
My first encounter with subliminals was in 2017, when I was doing research on aegyo sal, or tear bags on Youtube. When I searched for the term, one of the results was an aesthetic light purple thumbnail. When I played the video, the only audio I heard was lofi music and the screen displayed the thumbnail for the whole duration of the video. And this was when I learned what subliminals were.

HOW MUCH PAST IS PRESENT
Most common question we ask ourselves when in distress – “Why me?” Answer is not so simple. What we know and remember is something in our mind. But beyond mind there is a sub-conscious mind, which has the information we are not aware of. Similarly, our body carries the traits and features of our ancestors even though we have no clue about our grand-parents or great grand-parents. Did the seed of this distress was sown long before your birth? We will see these points one after another.

Enhancing The Emotional Journey of the Dementia-Specific Resident
Journeys, like emotions, always follow a pathway of change and are forever indicating to us our progress, our movement, our performance and awareness. For a person living with dementia, emotions begin to operate exclusively on an intuitive level, where intellect is replaced by impulse; logic is interpreted as non-sensical; and where choices are governed by momentary lapses of clarity.Experiences are shaped by perception; our perception is ruled by the mental conditioning our culture imposes upon us - which in turn, dictates our emotional responses to the feelings we experience. For those living with dementia, societal norms are eroded by the plaques and tangles in the brain. Their thoughts are disconnected by the disconnected synapses in the brain; while logic is disseminiated by frontal lobe damage to the brain. Feelings are the only authentic, trustworthy indicator of our sense of self, which is especially true for our dementia residents living in aged care. Why? Because feelings are totally instinctive and ever-present.

The Concept of Emotion
I breathe with anticipation. The moment arises. I give myself a quick pep talk. "Do I need any preparations, or should I try something?" Every flight I go up, I try to put myself in the mindset. I am not questioning my intentions but the scenarios in which to start. I check my phone, 9:50 pm. I take a breath as I reach another flight. "13" I wonder what I would see when I get there.

Tap the Power of the Present Moment to Achieve Breakthroughs and Do You Make Things Happen or Do You Always Ask “What Happened?”
Has this ever happened to you? You were thinking about a problem and no matter how hard you focus it seems that you're stuck. You've gone over the problem several times. You have tried to redefine it. You’ve looked at it from different angles. It seems that no matter what do you do and regardless of when you think about the problem, nothing seems to happen.

The Coronavirus Lockdown is Changing Trends in Population Level Psychology
I'm a fan of using whatever tools we have available for collecting data, especially when the methods don't reveal any personal information of individuals. When I first started writing about the potential effects of the coronavirus lockdown and social distancing efforts, I took a look at some Google Search trends, focusing on the United States, in part because that's where I am, and also because that's where we're seeing a lot of new cases.

The Ultimate Game of Cosmic Hide-and-Seek | Thoughts on the Mind, Facing Fear, Role-Playing, and "Interior" Design
A muse blew in on the soft wings of summer, and the girl at the mailbox taken back to her native nexus. Engulfed in the swells of poetic and scientific contemplation, she opened to the universe meditating on the nature of reality, human knowledge, and how she fits into this transcendent weft of life and, with a hand full of letters and bills, wondered how she might come to love the unknowing of it all.

The Replication Crisis (in science)
Psychology, as well as many other scientific fields, has begun to face a crisis the likes of which hasn't been seen in the history of scientific inquiry. This crisis, is the crisis of replication in the sciences. To understand what that is, first a definition of replication. In the sciences, a piece of research is considered generalizable to the larger population if it has specific statistical significance values and a diverse enough sample of subjects/participants. Replication is the term used to refer to the process of reproducing the original study's results. This replication of the original is used to provide evidence of the long-lasting effect of the research, and that research's applicability across different contexts.
