  1. Meditation, Brain Waves and the Schumann Resonance

    Brain waves play a crucial role in our state of consciousness - from deep relaxation and sleep to peak moments of clarity and focus. Brain waves can be measured as well as influenced. Meditation can direct these waves in subtle but powerful ways, allowing you to experience more balance and relaxation. But did you know that these frequencies exist not only in our brains, but all around us? From the groundbreaking discoveries of Cade and Coxhead to the mystery of the Schumann frequency, in this blog we dive deeper into the fascinating interplay between meditation, brain waves and the resonance of the earth.

    What are brain waves?

    Brain waves are electrical signals created when nerve cells (neurons) in the brain communicate with each other. These waves have different frequencies, which are often measured using an electroencephalogram (EEG). Depending on the frequency of brain waves, we can identify different mental states, such as relaxation, concentration, sleep

    Why doesn't everyone get the Flu in Winter?

    Every winter they pop up: colds, flu waves and viruses that seem to spread at lightning speed. Yet something strange is going on. If illness really is caused only by viruses floating around - as Louis Pasteur's famous theory suggests - why doesn't everyone get sick? Why do some remain in perfect health while others lie in bed for days? Interestingly enough, in Pasteur's time there was another scientist, Antoine Béchamp, who thought very differently. His ideas have been largely forgotten, but perhaps it is time to re-examine them....

    Louis Pasteur and his germ theory

    Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) was a French chemist and biologist with an insatiable curiosity about nature. He originally engaged in crystallography, but soon his focus shifted to microbiology.

    Crystallography is the science that deals with the structure and properties of

  3. Could Stress Be the Cause of Your Health Problems?

    Could Stress Be the Cause of Your Health Problems?

    Imagine you’re driving down the highway, relaxed, when suddenly a car swerves into your lane. Your body reacts instantly—your heart races, your muscles tense, and your breathing becomes shallow. This is the well-known fight-or-flight response, an ancient survival mechanism designed to protect you.

    What happens in your body at that moment? Your adrenal glands release adrenaline and cortisol, increasing your alertness and reaction speed. Your blood pressure rises, pushing oxygen and energy to your muscles. Digestion is put on hold since it’s not a priority in a moment of danger. Your immune system slows down because energy is needed elsewhere. Reproductive function and libido decrease—reproduction isn’t important when survival is at stake.

    Normally, when the danger passes, your body resets, and all systems return to normal. But what happens when this stress response never turns off?

    From Acute to Chroni

    The impact of December on your health

  5. The Impact of Anger and Fear on Our Bodies: How Polarization Affects Our Health

    The effects of anger and fear on the human body amidst global polarization

    We live in a time when anger and fear dominate. From wars fueled by religious or historical tensions to societal unrest about leadership, policies, and the future of our planet. Think of the COVID-19 pandemic, where proponents and opponents were fiercely divided, or the climate debate, which has polarized those who believe in human impact versus those who suspect economic or political motives. This ongoing polarization not only leaves deep marks on our society but also on our bodies. What does this emotional turmoil do to our physical well-being? We explore how anger and fear impact our health through different perspectives.

    Psychosomatics: The Physical Manifestation of Emotions

    Modern medicine acknowledges that emotions like anger and fear directly impact our bodies. Chronic stress caused by societal tensions activates the sympathetic nervous system, keeping the body in a constant “fight-or-flight” mode. Heart rate accelerates, blood pre
