Advertise on podcast: PENTAMENT- Stories from the human world with BELLA VOLEN

Midjourney is one of the most powerful visual tools for generating images. It can be used to change our perspective on the events we have experienced. Traumatic situations often get deeply etched in our minds, becoming fixed pictures that haunt us. While we cannot erase what happened or alter the facts, we can choose another viewpoint, reframe the experience, observe it from a different angle, visually play with it, and change the narrative we tell ourselves. By changing our thinking, we can rewire our brains. Millions of people have experimented with affirmations and vision boards to change their lives, and I firmly believe that visually altering our perception of the past can help regulate our emotions.

Smell was our first sense. Smell is a long-distance sense, a way of stretching time and finding out in advance what lies ahead. The smell is the sense of memory and desire. In the Andaman Islands, the Ongee people consider Smell not as an isolated sense but as a fundamental cosmic principle. For them, the odor is the source of personal identity.

In the crazy contemporary world, full of social media glam, success stories, fake news, self-proclaimed superheroes, and a hipper drive for self-development prosperity, it is often easy not to feel enough. We do know that we are observing the controlled broadcasting personal performance of others, and it still often affects us. The first step toward reducing doubt is realizing there is a problem, and the issue is doubt. We have a lack of trust when the view is gloomy and when we have a lack of transparency. This could also be self-related. Doubt has always been a part of the human world. The unconscious leads, but we feed it.  In the podcast, I am sharing many questions for self-reflection, and I hope they will be helpful.

The sleep-related hallucinations are common in the general population. Often we mix them up with the dreams and do not differentiate them as single states, which they are.  Hypnagogic and Hypnopompic states are different types of intensely visual consciousness conditions. 

This edition is about our intentions, miscommunication, the differences between emotions and feelings, 6 useful emotional regulation skills. I speak also about the 3 brain structures most closely linked with emotions: the amygdala, the insula, and a structure in the midbrain called the Periaqueductal gray, or shorly PAG.

Episode #1 of my new podcast. Here you can hear some abstract, exact, and also philosophical ideas about the human journey, our burning desires, and interactions. If you have found the path of your truth, you carry it within you, BUT if you try to leave your path of truth, the path will follow you. Through serendipity and synchronicity, it will follow you like a boomerang, pushing you to go back on course to where you belong, to your mission.
