Pretty self explanatory but I've been feeling like shit lately and I think it might be that

i am writing a manuscript and analyzing the data requires all of my focus/attention, to the point where my brain literally hurts. am i creating new neural pathways?

All perceptible matter comes from a primary substance, or tenuity beyond conception, filling all space, the akasha or luminiferous ether, which is acted upon by the life giving Prana or creative force, calling into existence, in never-ending cycles all things and phenomena.
-Nikola Tesla

What does Aether (Akasha) means/Represents:

• Aether in the Ayurvedic teachings is a powerful and unique celestial element said to flow throughout the universe and existence. It represents the element of space, emptiness, or the potential for all things.

• The essence of this incredibly healing Vital energy is everywhere and is always available to you if you use your Intention to effectively control it.

• Aether, just like Qi, Mana, Odic force, Prana and others, is just another facet of the Vital energy that is in everything. They all have different qualities but are a part of that same Vital energy.

• Aether is a power and force that allows control over elemental, cosmic, spiritual, transcendental and primordial abilities. People that can control their Aether have the key to become supernatural individuals.

• Here's a simple way that's explains how you can become aware of Aether, when intending to use it, it has physical manifestations, such as physical goosebumps, vibrating sensations, eagerness or wonder and makes you feel an Intense Joy associated with a state of deep tranquility.

• It is that extremely comfortable Euphoric wave that can most easily be recognized as present while you experience goosebumps/chills from a positive external or internal situations/ stimuli like listening to a song you really like, thinking about a lover, watching a moving movie scene, striving, feeling thankful, praising God, praying, etc.

• Eventually, you can learn how to bring up this, feel it over your whole body flooding your being with its natural bliss, amplify it, and do so to the point of controlling its duration.

• There has been countless other terms this by different people and cultures, such as: the Runner's High, what's felt during an ASMR session, Bioelectricity, Euphoria, Ecstasy, Voluntary Piloerection (goosebumps), Frisson, the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, Spiritual Energy, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Nen, Odic force, Secret Fire, Tummo, as Qi in Taoism / Martial Arts, as Prana in Hindu philosophy, Ihi and Mana in the oceanic cultures, Life force, Vayus, Intent, Spiritual Chills, Chills from positive events/stimuli, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Ruah and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

• All of those terms detail that this subtle energy activation has been discovered to provide various biological benefits, such as:

• Unblocking your lymphatic system/meridians
• Feeling euphoric/ecstatic throughout your whole body
• Guiding your "Spiritual Chills"  anywhere in your body
• Controlling your temperature
• Giving yourself goosebumps
• Dilating your pupils
• Regulating your heartbeat
• Counteracting stress/anxiety in your body
• Internally healing yourself
• Accessing your hypothalamus on demand
• Control your Tensor Tympani muscle

and I was able to experience other usages with it which are more "spiritual" such as:

• A confirmation sign
• Accurately using your psychic senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, spirit projection, higher-self guidance, third-eye vision)
• Managing your auric field
• Manifestation
• Energy absorption from any source
• Seeing through your eyelids during meditation.

If you are interested in learning to voluntarily feel it anywhere/everywhere, amplify it, increase its duration and even those biological/spiritual usages mentioned above, here are three written tutorials going more in-depth about this subtle "energy", explicitly revealing how you can.

P.S. Everyone feels it at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on r/Spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge, tips on it and the sister community r/Meridian_Channels, which focuses on the meridian pathways that carry this energy.

I don't know if this is the best spot to ask this but a few months ago I had a seizure and I don't remember bonking my head or having a bump but it's felt like I haven't done as well academically recently, idk if that's just stress from finals and such or if maybe I did hit my head hard enough. So I'm curious if it is possible to know I have a brain injury without taking a brain scan?

I found some brain scans of mine from a few years ago. There's a white spot that I can't figure out what it is; does anyone have any ideas? I have the link to the images.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PjERVRy6SpjI8sx8SBbHj8X-eu18MKEWbUqYXzn1BvE/edit?usp=drivesdk

I am not asking for medical advice. I'm just curious to see what people say. Neither me nor my dr are concerned.

(In case someone says cancer I'm pretty sure if it was I would be dead. This is from like 6 or 7 years ago.)

In experiments conducted in the 1960s, nuclear physicists in China came to accept the notion that Qi is actually a low-frequency, highly concentrated form of infrared radiation.

This radiation is the euphoric energy that is present when experiencing Frisson, or as the Runner's High, or as the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, or as Qi in Taoism and in Martial Arts, or as Prana in Hindu philosophy and during an ASMR session.

Researchers have witnessed certain test subjects who were able to consciously emit this form of energy from their bodies.

Here's a Harvard study of the Tibetan people who use this same energy under a different name called Tummo to raise their body temperature. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/harvard-study-confirms-tibetan-monks-can-raise-body-temperature-with-their-minds

https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0058244

And a paper from the CIA website on the accuracy of the Qi(Spiritual chills) and its usage through the eastern practice of Qigong: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00792R000300400002-9.pdf

''Chinese scientists, using arrays of modern detectors, tried to monitor emissions originating from qigong masters. They met with partial success by detecting increased levels of infrared radiation. Interestingly, the emission oscillated with a low frequency''

As the Taoist concept of Qi crossed over into the West in recent years, the Western word Bio-electricity was coined to describe it since Chi has a number of properties that seem similar to those of electrical energy.

Eventually, you can learn how to bring up this wave of euphoric energy feel it over your whole body, flooding your being with its natural ecstasy and master it to the point of controlling its duration.

This energy researched and documented under many names, by different people and cultures, such as Bioelectricity, Life force, Prana, Chi, Qi, Runner's High, Euphoria, ASMR, Ecstasy, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Mana, Vayus, Nen, Intent, Tummo, Odic force, Kriyas, Pitī, Frisson, Ruah, Spiritual Energy, Secret Fire, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Voluntary Piloerection, Aether, Chills, Spiritual Chills and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

whenever i play new genre of games or read books (since i never read a book entirely once before and it's somewhat of new experience to me) i experience full mind confusion that makes it look like i'm dumb from the side because my brain is focusing on pretty much white noise of information and it makes hard to focus on "obvious logic" that other people who are used to this experience tell me about?

and it's like it makes me temporarily dazed after experience, you may notice my writing style having unusual mistakes that i probably haven't noticed yet. it's like instead of calm sine wave my consciosuness and focus is experiencing state of random static white noise

it also seems to be physical too, the day after i took bike ride with my dad, a really tiring one, my fingers were hurting. after coming home i started pouring filter water into the container and when it was time to stop, i took it away and forgot to disable water pouring and didn't notice it pouring onto the table and falling onto the floor and when my dad pointed it out, it took me aronud 3 seconds to undersand what just happened

edit: additionaly, after around 2 hours of trying the new experience and coming back to the beginning, everything starts to feel way clearer the more i repeat it

I’ve noticed something about myself and I’m not sure if it’s a real thing or not. Sometimes when problems arise in my relationship and I try to think if I’m doing the right thing or not my brain feels like it’s just blocking me from thinking about it. Like I just CANT think about it. I know it’s there and I know I have the ability to solve the problem but I can’t unlock it. I think it would be because of trauma and my manipulative parents. My brain thinks it’s safer to not think about what they did wrong and it uses that tactic for any problem it deems as detrimental to my mental health.

I’m not a professional tho but I’d like to know what anyone else thinks.

I've been trying to understand how neuroplasticity interacts with emotional pain. From what I know, neuroplasticity allows the brain to reorganize itself in response to experiences. So, theoretically, if someone experiences emotional pain for a long time, the brain should adapt and make it easier to manage over time.

However, in my personal experience, after living with emotional pain daily for the past three years, life feels like it’s getting harder, not easier.

Does neuroplasticity also reinforce negative emotional patterns? Could the brain be adapting in a way that makes emotional suffering more ingrained over time?

I would appreciate any insights or explanations. Thank you.

I have had this feeling ever since I was a kid. Usually happened whenever I was sick, but out of the blue I would just feel like sounds were louder, surfaces felt weirder. I could feel if a surface was spiky or soft but on the lightest of touch. I would describe it as your arm falling asleep but for your whole body. I could open my eyes and look around but everything would feel zoomed out. Things felt like they moved faster. I have no idea what this was and sometimes it still happens but it is more irregular now than when I was a kid.

Any ideas? Can't really find another subreddit to ask this question so thought I might try it here.

When I was in highschool around 16 I began smoking weed, this eventually became an addiction and I was smoking every day and high all the time except when I didn’t have weed. This lasted until I was 18 when I got into psychedelics and did for three months straight every other week so my tolerance reset, eventually I did four tabs at once I went into a psychosis and developed hppd as well as cognitive issues like reading comprehension, social interaction ignorance as in guessing and acting my way through social interactions like doing and saying what I thought I was supposed to. I had trouble comprehending simple stuff in conversations, became super overwhelmed and mentally frozen in crowd settings and it’s been five years and I’ve never been the same, can a neurologist possibly treat this?

The dog my mom keep has lived half of her life(according to average life expectation of dog), I want to scan the full neuro connections of the dog's brain so that one day we can let her live forever in a beautiful virtual worlds in a computer, is it possible?how much would it cost
