 "We have the synapse, a very important juncture where the electrical chemical energy is transferred from one cell to another to create the memory, to help us produce other memories, to draw up old memories, restore new memories and the emotions and all that."
In his lifestyle approach to the brain, Dr. Khalsa compares the brain to the heart. "The brain is an organ, like the heart, and I like to say that what works for the heart works for the head."- Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.) |
 "In much the same way that the documentary showed places in the man's brain that "knew" the function of other areas, experiments demonstrated that animals retained memories and continued their lives even though the parts of their brains that were believed to hold these functions were removed. In other words, it appeared that there wasn't a direct correspondence between the memories and a physical place in the brain. It was obvious that the mechanical view of brains and memory wasn't the answer?something else strange and wonderful must be happening."- Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.) |
 "As I reflect on this past experience, memories of my time on the mountain spring forth, wrapping me in readiness for some future transformation. Like a chrysalis, I have no idea what form I will take when I emerge from this cocoon of experience, and, of course, some fear arises. I will, however, endeavor to move forward through my fear, to find my glorious form. While I wait and transform, the memories of that time enshroud and gnaw at me as I relive them. I take them into myself to speed my transformation, making them a part of this newly arising form."- Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
 "We know from the results of animal studies that vitamin D controls some of these nerve growth factors and other elements that help to establish new connections and create memories. In response to brain injury, these same factors are important in repair.
Over the years, your brain accumulates memories and injuries. Brain injuries include emotional traumas, head traumas, damage from high blood pressure, and damage from the ravages of unhealthy living. In this situation, the brain's capacity to protect and repair cannot keep up with all of these stresses and you begin to lose brain function."- James Dowd and Diane Stafford, The Vitamin D Cure (Get the book.) |
 "Our past we know from memories, but those memories are experienced in the present, just as our future is something we imagine in the present. Whatever we may be thinking and doing, we are doing it now. Even when we are totally absorbed in thoughts about the past or the future, the thoughts themselves are occurring in the "now."
When we say we are not in the present, we really mean that the object of our attention is not in the present. We are looking back to the past or forward to the future. To return to the present is to return our attention to what is going on here and now."- Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.) |
 "During REM sleep we dream; our neurotransmitters, which control our emotions, are replenished; and memories are made (short-term memory is transferred to parts of the brain to become long-term memories). Good sleep is sleep that has enough deep and REM stages. REM sleep is most important. If we are wakened during a REM cycle, our sleep cycle is changed and the next time we sleep we will go almost directly back into REM to complete its magic."- Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.) |

In the early 1970s, Pribram pioneered a powerful new model to explain the evidence from the experiments. He began to think of the brain and memories within it as working like holograms. One of the keys that confirmed Pribram was on the right track was the laboratory validation of the way we mentally process information." - Gregg Braden, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles, and Belief (Get the book.) |

| "While I wait and transform, the memories of that time enshroud and gnaw at me as I relive them. I take them into myself to speed my transformation, making them a part of this newly arising form. And I am aware that, like a butterfly whose wings are the culmination of the essences partaken while a caterpillar, I too will display this experience as part of my transformation. Perhaps the sweetness of the parsley ingested by the caterpillar is what gives the butterfly its unique color." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
 "And familiar smells can tweak our memories and transport us back to our childhood.
More important, however, our ability to smell is critical to survival. The sense of smell alerts us to all sorts of dangers, from noxious fumes and spoiled foods to fires. If we lose our sense of smell, we increase our risk of breathing toxic gases, getting food poisoning, or getting burned.
Loss of Smell
Is your favorite perfume or aftershave no longer as fragrant as it used to be? Depending on your age, this might be yet another one of those unfortunate signs of growing older."- Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) "As our hearing, sight, and memories fade with age, so does our sense of smell. The decreased ability to smell is medically known as hyposmia, while the total loss of smell is called anosmia. To confuse matters further, when the diminished ability to smell is age-related, it's called presbyosmia. While our sense of smell is fully developed at birth, it's most acute from our teen years to age 60. It goes downhill from there. By our 80s, we smell only half as well as we did when we were in our 30s. SIGNIFICANT FACT Our sense of smell is the most acute of all our senses." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph. D., and Jacqueline Nardi Egan, Body Signs: From Warning Signs to False Alarms...How to Be Your Own Diagnostic Detective (Get the book.) |
 "Lynn left me with memories and lessons, lessons that relate to the difficult task faced by journalists attempting to make sense of "health care" in the United States. They all face enormous constraints. Some relate to the social construction of health (about which we will have much more to say in chapter 13). Some reflect the soft underbelly of our capitalistic society. As I discuss in chapter 9 and elsewhere, direct-to-consumer advertising transfers billions of dollars of pharmaceutical profits to print and broadcast media companies."- Nortin M. Hadler MD, Worried Sick: A Prescription for Health in an Overtreated America (Get the book.) |
 "Leaning forward slightly to hear my questions, she would then sit back and seem to savor the memories they sparked before answering with a smile. The whole time, Maria's daughter held her mother's hands, which lay folded in her lap.
I asked Pietrina how her mother had managed to live so long, and she gave me a one-word answer: grandchildren. "It's about loving and being loved," she said. "Not only has Nona helped raise the children, but she has also always told them they must get educated. Sometimes she gives them money, and she always prays for them."- Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) "Okinawans over 70 still begin the day by honoring their ancestors' memories. Gravesites are often furnished with picnic tables so that family members can celebrate Sunday meals with deceased relatives. How does this contribute to longevity? By the time centenarians become centenarians, their lifelong devotion has produced returns: their children reciprocate their love and care. Their children check up on their parents, and in three of the four Blue Zones, the younger generation welcomes the older generation into their homes." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) |
| "Not only do you recall memories of this lifetime but you also can have a memory that is carried in your ancestral line. When you smell a plant and an entire scene unfolds from another time and place, don't discount it as "only your imagination." You are remembering through your genes how your ancestors used the plant. In addition to memory, smell can have a profound effect on physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels as is indicated by Aromatherapy—a practice that works with the volatile oils of a plant through the olfactory system." - Pam Montgomery, Plant Spirit Healing: A Guide to Working with Plant Consciousness (Get the book.) |
 "When I ask about his earliest memories of eating apples and grapes, Snyder takes a long pause. When he finally speaks, he says the first apple he ever tasted was a green, underripe Granny Smith in his family's test plot. And opening up the grape door, he starts telling me about childhood summers when he and his brothers would get lost in their father's Concord grape patch: "I remember eating them until I was sick."
I pluck a Gala and wipe off its powdery white residue. It tastes fine, despite that cloying odor."- Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) |
| "FLAVONOIDS their imperfect memories.
I realized that if I wanted to get Sardinian red wine isnt the a sense of the authentic Sardinian only place to find flavonoids. lifestyle, I needed to spend time Brightly colored fruits and with someone younger who was vegetables and dark chocolate still working and living in the tradi- also conta,n ^em- Studies tional way." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) |
 "Pribram's associates from Japan would hypothesize that what we think of as memory is simply a coherent emission of signals from the Zero Point Field, and that longer memories are a structured grouping of this wave information.*8 If this were true, it would explain why one tiny association often triggers a riot of sights, sounds and smells. It would also explain why, with long-term memory in particular, recall is instantaneous and doesn't require any scanning mechanism to sift though years and years of memory."- Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) "His initial attempts to find the seat of specific memories failed; the rats, though sometimes even physically impaired, remembered exactly what they'd been taught. Lashley fried more and more sections of brain; the rats still seemed to make it through the jumping stand. Lashley became even more liberal with the curling iron, working through one part of the brain to the next, but still it didn't seem to have any effect on the rat's ability to remember." - Lynne Mctaggart, The Field - The Quest for the Secret Force of the Universe (Get the book.) |
| "But for members of the community, this kind of repetitious, casual intimacy provokes good memories and a subtle sense of safety and well-being—the same kind of constant, subtle reinforcement of healthy habits that seems to give Adventists a better chance for longer life. It's no wonder that most Adventists seem to hang out with other Adventists.
HOLD THE BACON
I'm never going to be an Adventist. But you don't have to convert to their faith to admire how they have generated a Blue Zone out of whole cloth by sticking together and reinforcing the right behaviors for longevity." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.) |
 "By having the structure, opportunity, and expectation, socially anxious students log in positive memories about the way to approach someone, how close to stand, and when to let the other person speak. Exercise serves as the social lubricant, and it's crucial to this kind of learning because it reduces anxiousness. Their brains are primed by the movement, and they lay down circuits that record the experience, which at first may be painful but which becomes less so in the context of an experience shared by the entire class."- John J. Ratey, MD, Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain (Get the book.) |
 "Plus, our emotions, beliefs, perceptions, memories, and more affect our biology, so as long as we are thinking, feeling, and emoting human beings, we will be experiencing the ups and downs of life and reacting to them, often to the detriment of our health.
An additional point is that the functional aspects of our illnesses tend to be more easily corrected than the physical symptoms. The nonphysical, nontangible aspects of ourselves, such as our emotions, thought processes, coping strategies, and decision-making abilities?"- Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "Within the past few decades, scientists have found, among many other startling findings, that the body may be holographic in nature, cells in the human body emit light, immune cells have neuronlike synapses, the connective tissue of the body forms a sophisticated information network not unlike a second nervous system, muscles may store memories, 60 and water can be imprinted with information." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) "Even though your body-field is dynamic, it is always recording everything to which it is exposed, from external factors, such as nutrition or exposure to pollutants, to internal ones, such as your thoughts, emotions, beliefs, and memories. In Wolff's space resonance theory, the spherical standing wave of the electron can be visualized as an onion because it has many spherical layers. That analogy works well for the body-field, too. Every moment, your holographic body-field is recording the state of your being, and over your life it builds up layer upon layer of information." - Peter h. Fraser and Harry Massey, Decoding the Human Body-Field: The New Science of Information as Medicine (Get the book.) |
 "The subconscious mind is a hidden storehouse of memories, deep feelings, desires and aspirations, motives, knowledge, and other intensely meaningful aspects of you of which you are not usually aware. The subconscious mind is gigantic in size and power compared to the conscious mind. Sigmund Freud's model of human consciousness looked like an iceberg, with conscious mind at the tip (the part you can see above the water) and subconscious mind enormous but hidden (the part submerged under water).
The subconscious mind has numerous functions."- Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "They will help you understand the themes, long-buried memories, and unacknowledged lessons you learned from others that have had a profound effect on your life. They will help you see the life you've lived in ways you've never seen before and help you decide which parts of that life you want to keep and which parts you want to change. In short, these tools will change everything, for the better. Most people are only aware of their conscious thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, but conscious awareness is the smallest, weakest part of the mind." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) "As it is, the gatekeeper is permeable and memories slip through. Remember in the old days when DJs used to play the same songs repeatedly? The subconscious mind responds to repetition. There was one song called "Little Star" ("There you are, little star"). I must've heard it a hundred times on the radio. After that, it was always pushing past my gatekeeper. To this day, I will be walking along or driving and out of nowhere, "There you are, little star" comes blowing into my mind. What an intrusion—I hated that song! You want your gatekeeper to work." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.) |
