HOW STRESS CAN BOOST CREATIVITY - Part 2
The Creative Potential of Positive Stress (Eustress)
When we talk about stress, the mind almost automatically summons images of exhaustion, irritation, suffocating deadlines and sleepless nights. But for the brain — this sophisticated and surprisingly pragmatic machine — efficient work does not happen only at the poles of “absolute calm” or “total chaos”. The real magic lies in the space between stillness and collapse, where there exists a vast,fertile and deeply human terri

PSYCHEDELICS IN EVERYDAY LIFE: Strategies for Mental Well-Being
🧠Psychedelics in Everyday Life
Psychedelic comes from the Greek psyche (mind) and deloun (to manifest): “that which reveals the mind.”
And perhaps this is what neuroscience is teaching us — not that we need substances to expand consciousness, but that the brain itself has natural pathways to access states of expanded perception, connection, and well-being.

NEUROSCIENCE OF SELF-AWARENESS: How to Acess the Deep Layers of the Mind
🧠 Neuroscience of Self-Knowledge
We live in an era in which self-knowledge has almost become a modern ritual — from psychedelic therapies to silent retreats, from meditation to long conversations in search of meaning.

PERSONAL TRAUMAS: The Invisible Wounds That Shape Our Journey

Personal trauma is not just a “life drama” or an excuse for excessive self-compassion. And it is definitely not weakness – it is biology hidden between synapses, shaping our thoughts, feelings and reactions to the world.

WHAT ARE NEUROTRANSMITTERS? The Brain's Chemical Alphabet
When we think about how the brain works, it is common to imagine a network of billions of neurons firing electrical signals. But in fact, this network does not communicate only with electricity. Between one neuron and another there is a microscopic space — the synaptic cleft — and this is where one of the most fascinating and fundamental components of neuroscience comes into play: neurotransmitters.
