More good reasons to meditate: New research suggests that yoga and meditation may change the way our genes behave in response to stress. It also helps your body build stem cells! Maybe meditation helps build our souls.

Researcher Herbert Benson says, “Now we’ve found how changing the activity of the mind can alter the way basic genetic instructions are implemented.”

Researcher Towia Libermann says, “This is the first comprehensive study of how the mind can affect gene expression, linking what has been looked on as a ‘soft’ science with the ‘hard’ science of genomics.”

People who witness UFOs often comment that they shine a bright lights onto the ground in a single color: blue. Now science may have made some progress in finding out what’s so important about blue light. The world turns out to be a lot stranger than we used to think it was.

Human eyes can only see light in a very small region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For us, visible light corresponds to a wavelength range of 400 – 700 nanometers in a color range of violet through red. Blue light has a wavelength of about 475 nm, one of the shortest in the light spectrum. The human eye is more sensitive to short-wavelength light, which produces “cool” tones like blue or green, as opposed to long-wavelength light, which produces “warm” tones like yellow and red.

Whitley Strieber was blown away by the guests on this week’s Dreamland and he has long been convinced that there is life after death, especially after meeting the Master of the Key. In his new Journal he writes: “Long ago, the Visitors indicated to me that the primary difference between us and other conscious species is that we are soul blind and they are not. They do not think in terms of death, but rather are fully integrated in and out of the time stream, and are on truly extraordinary journeys through life that are just radically different from our own.” Don’t miss this one (and don’t miss psychic medium Marla Frees’ subscriber interview with the Leiningers either.)

This week on Dreamland I interview Bruce and Andrea Leininger about what I believe to be the most convincing reincarnation story ever told. Their book, Soul Survivor, is about their son, James, who at the age of two began saying peculiar things that they gradually came to realize involved events in a past life.

When he began to mention specifics, they found that they were actually able to look up the names, for example, of a ship he remembered being on in World War II. It was not a famous ship. In fact, it took some doing to find it, and it is impossible that a child could ever have known it.
