Ideomotor phenomenon

Ideomotor phenomenon
Ideomotor phenomenon is a psychological phenomenon wherein a subject makes motions unconsciously. An example of table-turning in 19th century France. A circle of participants press their hands against a table, and the ideomotor effect causes the table to tilt in such a way as to produce a written message, in a manner similar to a ouija board. The ideomotor response (or "ideomotor reflex"), often abbreviated to IMR, is a concept in hypnosis and psychological research.[1] It is derived from the terms "ideo" (idea, or mental representation) and "motor" (muscular action). The associated term "ideo-dynamic response" (or "reflex") applies to a wider domain, and extends to the description of all bodily reactions (including, but not limited to ideo-motor and ideo-sensory responses) caused in a similar manner by certain ideas, e.g., the salivation often caused by imagining sucking a lemon, which is a secretory response.

Imitative learning Imitative learning is a type of social learning whereby new behaviors are acquired via imitation.[1] Imitation aids in communication, social interaction, and the ability to modulate one's emotions to account for the emotions of others, and is "essential for healthy sensorimotor development and social functioning".[1] The ability to match one's actions to those observed in others occurs in humans and animals;[1] imitative learning plays an important role in humans in cultural development.[2] Imitative learning in animals[edit] References[edit] Projective identification Psychological defense mechanism Projective identification is a term introduced by Melanie Klein and then widely adopted in psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Projective identification may be used as a type of defense, a means of communicating, a primitive form of relationship, or a route to psychological change;[1] used for ridding the self of unwanted parts or for controlling the other's body and mind.[2] According to the American Psychological Association, the expression can have two meanings: Experience[edit] Though a difficult concept for the conscious mind to come to terms with,[8] since its primitive nature makes its operation or interpretation seem more like magic or art than science,[9] projective identification is nonetheless a powerful tool of interpersonal communication. Objects projected[edit] The objects (feelings, attitudes) extruded in projective identification are of various kinds – both good and bad, ideal and abjected.

A glossary of Jungian terms. I collected these terms and concepts on my journey through Jung's letters, seminars, and Collected Works as well as from my studies in Depth Psychology. Terms defined elsewhere in this document appear in italics. You might also want to peruse my Glossary of Freudian Terms and some quotations by James Hillman and Alfred Adler. And of course we all need to get Horney now and then. Abaissement du niveau mental: French psychologist Pierre Janet's term, elaborated by Jung, for a weakening of the ego due to an unconscious drainage of its psychological energy. A lowering of attention or consciousness. Postcolonialism Critical academic study of the cultural legacy of colonialism and imperialism Postcolonialism is the critical academic study of the cultural, political and economic legacy of colonialism and imperialism, focusing on the impact of human control and exploitation of colonized people and their lands. More specifically, it is a critical theory analysis of the history, culture, literature, and discourse of (usually European) imperial power. At times, the term postcolonial studies may be preferred to postcolonialism, as the ambiguous term colonialism could refer either to a system of government, or to an ideology or world view underlying that system. Purpose and basic concepts[edit] Colonialist discourse[edit] In La Réforme intellectuelle et morale (1871), the orientalist Ernest Renan, advocated imperial stewardship for civilizing the non–Western peoples of the world.

Numinous Arousing spiritual or religious emotion; mysterious or awe-inspiring Numinous () is a term derived from the Latin numen, meaning "arousing spiritual or religious emotion; mysterious or awe-inspiring."[1] The term was given its present sense by the German theologian and philosopher Rudolf Otto in his influential 1917 German book The Idea of the Holy. Etymology[edit] Numinous was derived in the 17th century from the Latin numen, meaning a "deity or spirit presiding over a thing or space Rudolf Otto[edit] The word was given its present sense by the German theologian and philosopher Rudolf Otto in his influential 1917 book Das Heilige, which appeared in English as The Idea of the Holy in 1923.[2] Using Latin, he describes it as a mystery (Latin: mysterium) that is at once terrifying (tremendum) and fascinating (fascinans).[6] He writes: The feeling of it may at times come sweeping like a gentle tide pervading the mind with a tranquil mood of deepest worship. Later use of the concept[edit]

Current Procedural Terminology The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set is a medical code set maintained by the American Medical Association through the CPT Editorial Panel.[1] The CPT code set (copyright protected by the AMA) describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and is designed to communicate uniform information about medical services and procedures among physicians, coders, patients, accreditation organizations, and payers for administrative, financial, and analytical purposes. CPT coding is similar to ICD-9 and ICD-10 coding, except that it identifies the services rendered, rather than the diagnosis on the claim (ICD-10-CM was created for diagnostic coding- it took the place of Volume 3 of the ICD-9). The ICD code sets also contain procedure codes (ICD-10-PCS codes), but these are only used in the inpatient setting.[5] CPT is currently identified by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS)[6] as Level 1 of the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System.

It is only a small gland 5 to 8 mm and is shaped a little like a pinecone. The Pineal Gland produces a serotonin derivative called melatonin hence is involved in the wake/sleep cycle and seasonal functions. Within the Pineal Gland is an etheric structure called the ‘Master Crystal Cell’ (MCC). Healthy Pineal Gland Function As we age, calcification and fluoride deposits accumulate within the Pineal Gland, limiting the function of this energetic body.

Pineal Gland Activation - Light Self Therapy On a simple level the Ajna Light uses flickering lights that entrain brainwaves and encourages pineal gland activation. When the gland is stimulated it induces deep states of relaxation and transcendental experiences. To activate the pineal gland the frequency or vibration of the body must be raised. This has a very powerful effect on changing consciousness. The pineal gland, also known as the “third eye chakra”, is thought to be the seat of the soul, the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds. What exactly is the Pineal Gland? The pineal gland, is a small endocrine gland located in the centre of the brain between the two hemispheres. What is DMT ? DMT (Dimethyl tryptamine) is generated by the pineal gland and is a psychedelic compound that is structurally similar to melatonin. The precursor to DMT is the essential naturally occurring amino acid tryptophan, however an inhibitor enzyme within the body normally prevents the production of DMT from tryptophan.

Fillmore Fulfilled: Pineal Gland « Back to Fillmore Fulfilled PINEAL GLAND (This drawing is a medial view of the right cerebral hemisphere; to the left is to the front of the cerebrum.) Charles Fillmore located the power of faith in the center of the head in the pineal gland. In my text "Birth of the Light Body" and for this blog, I have relocated it to the cerebrum of the brain. (See drawing of Cerebrum for an explanation,) As with most of his other locations, Fillmore gave little or no explanation as to why he placed faith at the pineal gland. Therefore, we are left to view his designation from historical and other perspectives. In Eastern literature, the pineal gland was said to be the organ that correlated with the crown chakra. Medically, in Fillmore's day, little was known about the pineal gland and its function. It was not until the 1980s that scientists began to document that the pineal is an endocrine gland whose primary hormone, melatonin, helps to regulate the sleep-wake cycle. Permalink

Third Eye - Pineal Gland Third Eye - Pineal Gland The pineal gland (also called the pineal body, epiphysis cerebri, epiphysis or the "third eye") is a small endocrine gland. It produces melatonin, a hormone that affects the modulation of wake/sleep patterns and photoperiodic (seasonal) functions. The pineal gland is shaped like a tiny pine cone, hence its name. Pine Cone Pineal Gland Pseudoscience Theories While the physiological function of the pineal gland has been unknown until recent times, mystical traditions and esoteric schools have long known this area in the middle of the brain to be the connecting link between the physical and spiritual worlds. The third eye controls the various bio-rhythms of the body. The pineal gland's location deep in the brain seems to intimate hidden importance.

Oxygen Chemical element, symbol O and atomic number 8 All plants, animals, and fungi need oxygen for cellular respiration, which extracts energy by the reaction of oxygen with molecules derived from food and produces carbon dioxide as a waste product. In tetrapods breathing brings oxygen into the lungs where gas exchange takes place, carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood, and oxygen diffuses into the blood. Many major classes of organic molecules in living organisms contain oxygen atoms, such as proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and fats, as do the major constituent inorganic compounds of animal shells, teeth, and bone. Oxygen was isolated by Michael Sendivogius before 1604, but it is commonly believed that the element was discovered independently by Carl Wilhelm Scheele, in Uppsala, in 1773 or earlier, and Joseph Priestley in Wiltshire, in 1774. History of study Early experiments In the late 17th century, Robert Boyle proved that air is necessary for combustion. Phlogiston theory Notes

Red blood cell In humans, mature red blood cells are flexible and oval biconcave disks. They lack a cell nucleus and most organelles, in order to accommodate maximum space for hemoglobin; they can be viewed as sacks of hemoglobin, with a plasma membrane as the sack. Approximately 2.4 million new erythrocytes are produced per second in human adults.[3] The cells develop in the bone marrow and circulate for about 100–120 days in the body before their components are recycled by macrophages. Each circulation takes about 60 seconds (one minute).[4] Approximately a quarter of the cells in the human body are red blood cells.[5][6] Nearly half of the blood's volume (40% to 45%) is red blood cells. Packed red blood cells (pRBC) are red blood cells that have been donated, processed, and stored in a blood bank for blood transfusion. Structure Vertebrates There is an immense size variation in vertebrate red blood cells, as well as a correlation between cell and nucleus size. Mammals Human Microstructure Nucleus Function
