In this fascinating second instalment of our "Beyond the Veil" series, we explore the revolutionary idea that your brain might not be creating consciousness but rather filtering it. Discover how the "Reducing Valve Hypothesis" proposed by William James and Aldous Huxley is finding support in modern neuroscience, especially through research using repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) that shows inhibiting certain brain regions may enhance psychic abilities.Key TopicsThe origins of the "Reducing Valve Hypothesis" in psychology and philosophyHow neuroplasticity and altered states challenge traditional brain modelsGroundbreaking rTMS research showing enhanced psi abilities when inhibiting specific brain regionsThe science behind why meditation, flow states, and hypnosis may access expanded consciousnessNotable MentionsWilliam James' pioneering theories on consciousness filtrationAldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception" and consciousness theories2024 Cortex study using rTMS to enhance psi phenomenaConnections to "The Telepathy Tapes" podcast findings on nonverbal autisticsHypnosis research demonstrating suggestion's effect on sensory perceptionComing NextJoin us next time as we explore how epigenetics and environmental influences shape our ability to access spiritual states.

In this episode of the Integrated Wisdom Podcast, host Tatiana welcomes clinical psychologist, schema therapist, and breathwork practitioner Dannielle Kurr for a soulful conversation about spiritual transformation. Dannielle shares her profound journey through spirituality, with a particular focus on how motherhood served as a powerful catalyst for her spiritual awakening.Episode Highlights:Transformative Birth Experiences: Dannielle describes her two childbirth experiences as spiritual initiations, with her second birth culminating in what she describes as an orgasmic, peak experience that connected her to something greater than herself.Early Spiritual Influences: The loss of her father at age three created an early need to make sense of life's bigger questions, while her university studies in both psychology and Eastern religions revealed powerful parallels between these disciplines.Breathwork as a Spiritual Tool: Following a suggestion from her doula, Danielle discovered how breathwork could access similar transformative states she experienced during childbirth, including kundalini-like energy rising through her body.A Non-Pathologizing Approach to Mental Health: Dannielle shares her perspective that many mental health challenges represent "our souls signaling to wake up" rather than pathologies to be fixed.Professional Integration: She discusses how integrating spirituality into her clinical practice helps prevent burnout by recognizing there are larger forces at work and that "life happens for you, not to you."Book Recommendations: Dannielle recommends "The Stormy Search for Self" by Stanislav Grof and "Falling Forward" by Richard Rohr for listeners interested in exploring spirituality further.Dannielle can be reached on Instagram @affectivepsychology_breathI am so excited to announce that my SOLD OUT ‘The Conscious Therapist' course will be running again in May 2025.

In this groundbreaking first episode of our new series "The Science of Spiritual Perception," we explore the fascinating question: Is spiritual perception encoded in our DNA? We dive into a brand-new 2025 study from Brazilian researchers that found nearly 16,000 genetic variants unique to experienced spiritual mediums compared to their non-medium relatives.Episode Highlights:Discover how researchers identified 33 specific genes altered in mediums but completely absent in their non-medium relativesLearn about the surprising connection between spiritual abilities and the immune system, particularly the ZAP-70 pathwayExplore the ancient mystery of the pineal gland (the "third eye") and how genetic mutations in this area appeared in 87% of mediums studiedConsider the revolutionary implications for our understanding of human consciousness - could we be "receivers" rather than "generators" of consciousness?This episode challenges conventional scientific thinking and suggests we may all carry the biological potential to perceive realities beyond the physical world, with some individuals more "genetically tuned" to access these dimensions.Join us next time as we explore the "reducing valve theory" - the idea that our brains might not generate consciousness but actually filter it - and what we might perceive if those filters were removed.I am so excited to announce that my SOLD OUT ‘The Conscious Therapist' course will be running again in May 2025.

In this episode, we dive into a fascinating new theory at the crossroads of science and spirituality that suggests our consciousness might connect to hidden dimensions of the universe!Inspired by the work of Dr. Michael Pravica, a professor of physics at the University of Nevada, this episode explores the groundbreaking idea that human consciousness may not solely originate from the brain but instead tap into hyperdimensional realms beyond our everyday perception.Key Highlights:New Theory in Physics: Dr. Michael Pravica's proposition that consciousness might exist in hidden dimensions, challenging traditional understandings of the brain and consciousness.Hyperdimensionality Explained: Discover how the universe might consist of more than the four dimensions we perceive (height, width, depth, and time) and how heightened states of awareness—like creativity and dreaming—might allow us to access these hidden dimensions.The Intersection of Science and Spirituality: Why this theory excites those who believe that spirituality and science are not at odds, but rather two sides of the same coin.The Evolution of Scientific Understanding: Similar to how the discovery of epigenetics revolutionized biology, this new theory may be a significant step toward validating the spiritual experiences that have long been part of human life.Criticism and Skepticism: We also explore the pushback against this emerging theory and discuss why challenging conventional views is essential for scientific progress.Links Mentioned:Listen to our earlier episode where we explore similar advances in quantum biology and their implications for understanding consciousness - https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/integrated-wisdom/id1688962113?i=1000643589895Dive deeper into the theory by reading the full article from the physicist behind this revolutionary concept - https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a62241497/consciousness-connects-to-higher-dimension/Join the Conversation:What are your thoughts on the intersection of science and spirituality?

When grappling with whether or not to do something we may want to do, we are often encouraged to YOLO - the millennial catchphrase encouraging us to do all the things, as after all, 'you only live once'!!But the ever growing body of scientific evidence surrounding the concept of reincarnation is painting a very different picture.

At a time when there is so much sadness and chaos in the world, it is normal  for many of us to be grappling with fear of where this is all leading us.

Even if you haven't ventured too deeply within Spirituality, you most likely would have heard expressions such as, 'raise your vibration', 'be high vibe' or 'good vibes only'...But how exactly do we raise our vibration? Often when this topic is discussed in spiritual circles, there is a tendency to suggest the best way to raise one's vibration is to avoid or steer clear of people, situations and feelings that make us feel bad or negative - Anger? Big No! Fear? Nope again!But this takes us dangerously close to spiritual bypassing territory, because many of these challenging situations serve a crucial purpose in our process of growth and spiritual evolution, and to avoid or suppress these emotions, leads to us being inauthentic - ironically one of the surest ways to lower our vibrational state and cause ourselves harm.Join me in this episode as I explore these concepts more deeply and discuss ways to genuinely elevate your vibration, whilst honouring your authentic emotional and mental needs for truly embodied alignment with your soul essence.Be sure to SHARE this episode to anyone you feel may be interested or benefit from this content.And please don't forget to hit SUBSCRIBE to keep up to date with our episodes and give us a RATING below. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Intro and Outro music: Inspiring Morning by PlaysoundYou can also find me on Instagram @integrated_wisdomDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational purposes only.
