WHEN HUMANS BECAME POOR It Wasn’t When We Lost Money — It Was When We Lost Something Deeper We didn’t become poor because we had less— we became poor when we forgot what enough feels like. A short reflection on money, mindset, and meaning. 🔗 Link in first reply https://medium.com/@dianabasieseme_60028/when-humans-became-poor-cb32056d3674?sk=2fc1c95af54c3fad9b795967b7f33418 🖼️ Visual created with AI #WritingCommunity #Philosophy #Psychology #SelfAwareness #Minimalism #ConsciousLiving #Fediverse

The features we typically associate with narcissism align closely with traditional male norms. But perhaps we’ve been missing a big part of the picture. Yes, men score higher on certain narcissism traits, but women are just as susceptible. @sciencefocus@flipboard.com explains: https://flip.it/Qn53oD #Science #Humans #Psychology #Brain #Health

What Ali and many others are experiencing is what psychologists call "hyper arousal" and it can be an early warning of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).“ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ce84ngmjz8zo?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss

I recently discovered a fascinating and terrifying project: The Caretaker - "Everywhere At The End Of Time". It’s a 6.5-hour audio simulation of a mind breaking down from dementia. It starts with clear 1920s ballroom music. But stage by stage, the memory "corrupts", turning into dark noise and emptiness. I highly recommend listening the full 6:30 hours to fully dive into this state (link below). Or listen album by album: try to memorize the clean melodies in Stage 1 so you can actually feel the pain when they break down later. It is a very heavy experience. Full compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJWksPWDKOc Also can be found on Apple Music - https://music.apple.com/artist/the-caretaker/1716871757?l=en-GB #Psychology #Dementia #Ambient #Music #Health

A new study from the Università Cattolica in Milan demonstrated that taking a fake supplement (placebo) for three weeks can lead to both physical and cognitive improvements in older adults. People who knew they were taking a placebo had better results than those who did not. Here's the full story from Medicalxpress.com. https://flip.it/DcHcEG #Science #Psychology #PlaceboEffect

That music can serve more than purely aesthetic or entertainment purposes is no longer a surprising idea. Across many cultures and historical periods, music has functioned as a means of regulating mood, attention, and bodily states. Over the past decades, clinical research has begun to examine these effects with greater methodological care. Within psychiatry and psychology, music-based interventions now appear in studies addressing anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and related conditions. Structured musical interventions - such as guided listening, improvisation-based music therapy, or therapist-led sessions - can reduce obsessive symptoms, lower anxiety, and ease depressive comorbidity when used alongside established forms of treatment. Controlled studies report measurable improvements in anxiety and obsessive symptoms when music therapy accompanies standard care. At the same time, sample sizes remain limited, and further research is required. Music also relates to cognitive and emotional mechanisms that are relevant to OCD. Studies indicate that individuals with obsessive-compulsive personality traits often show heightened sensitivity to musical tension and a strong preference for harmonic resolution. These observations suggest links between musical structure, predictive processing in the brain, and the regulation of intrusive thoughts. The intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and musical practice therefore forms a productive field of investigation. Musical processes operate simultaneously on several levels: rhythm can synchronize breathing and autonomic activity, tonal expectation structures attention, and deep musical immersion alters the subjective experience of time as well as aspects of cognitive control. These characteristics make music a complex medium within therapeutic contexts. I examined these questions in greater detail last year, focusing on anxiety disorders and obsessive-compulsive conditions, the current evidence base, and practical forms of music-based interventions in clinical settings.

In the study I would like to briefly introduce here, the focus is on the relationship between meditation and music – a pairing that is widely discussed, yet often without much precision. The study examines how music that reliably induces aesthetic chills interacts with meditative processes, with particular attention to affective intensity, self-transcendence, emotional permeability, and subjective insight. The work does not establish clinical efficacy. Its relevance lies in showing how music can modulate inner states that, in clinical contexts, are regarded as markers of change. The analysis is process-oriented and based on self-reports rather than clinical outcomes. In medical terms, this is not therapeutic evidence, but a contribution to understanding state-dependent mechanisms – potentially of interest to both musicians working with affect and clinicians concerned with contextual modulation.
