The Tarot Room

EEG Spike Waves

Some serious psychic experimentation is being done in my own backyard.

Well, not literally in my back yard, but not too far away at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario.

Mandy Scott, an MA student in psychology, is doing research on what’s actually going on during a psychic experience. Specifically, what’s going on in our brains.

Scott will be performing a series of experiments involving Remote Viewing, where subjects are asked to describe photos without actually looking at them.

Six times over the course of six weeks, each person will be asked to hold a sealed envelope with a picture in it. While they record what they think the image in the envelope is, EEG monitors will record their brainwaves.

Subjects will be split into three groups, the first being a control with no psychic experience whatsoever.

The second group will also be ‘non-psychics’, but will undergo some training in psychic techniques before they start the experiments.

The final group will be made up of people with prior experience in psychic readings.

Scott is already convinced that something’s going on, she just wants to pinpoint what that is and where it’s happening in our brains.

She’s also interested in whether the ‘psychic’ group proves to be any better at seeing the hidden images than the other two groups.

If you want to help her out, she’s still looking for people to be involved in the research.

She can be contacted through the university at 705-675-1151.

I look forward to seeing her results.

High Priestess as Strength

The Moon moves into Leo today and stays there until Saturday.

Translated into Tarot cards, this transit would be like the High Priestess is wearing Strength’s clothing. She’s thrown off her heavy cape and is spending some time outside with her lion.

The Moon in Leo, or High Priestess in Strength’s clothing is potentially a time of emotional power. Something beautiful that’s usually under wraps can finally be revealed.

The silence is broken. Quiet wisdom and passion can be united. During this time, it might be difficult to keep your ideas to yourself. But why should you?

Try finding an outlet for plans you’ve been sitting on? This is an opportunity to shine if you’re not over-burdened by self-consciousness.

It might feel a little uncomfortable at first, but letting your wilder side out right now could be positive. The sun isn’t always shining. Take advantage of it when it does.

Today you might find yourself simply working and waiting. You’ve been trying hard but it probably feels like there’s little to show for it.  Keep your chin up!  You are actively creating change in your life, but it takes time.

Try not to get down on yourself while the process continues.  Commitment means sticking through the dull, tough times to reach your goal.  You’re well on your way and it would be a shame not to keep going.  In fact, the hardest part now is not to give up for fear of failure.

There’s still work ahead, but you’re going in the right direction.  Keep plugging away and you will succeed.
