Healthcare workers are exposed to sustained occupational demands arising from caseload, working hours, emotional labour and repeated acute clinical events. Prolonged exposure of this kind may affect hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis activity, autonomic regulation and inflammatory signalling. Yoga, mindfulness, meditation and structured breathing practices are increasingly offered to...

In recent decades, plant sciences have profoundly transformed our philosophical understanding of plants, moving beyond the traditional view of the plant organism as a passive, mechanical entity devoid of agency. Contemporary research into plant physiology, chemical communication and adaptive strategies has helped to outline a theoretical framework: plants emerge as complex systems, capable of...

Abstract In the introduction to his major work of philosophy, Mind and Matter , Henri Bergson declares that both spirit and matter exist, and that we can determine the precise relation between them through the study of memory. More than a century later, Yasushi Hirai takes up this project and outlines an original and distinct interpretation and development of the Bergsonian approach to episodic...

Acute stress degrades prefrontal function within seconds, so interventions that must be retrieved and deliberately initiated — paced breathing, reappraisal, mindfulness — are least available at the moment they are needed. We hypothesize that a brief exteroceptive manoeuvre can re-anchor self-regulation without deliberate control. Specifically: (i) when a person views, for about one second and...

Abstract This article proposes an alternative philosophical framework for artificial intelligence (AI) and value alignment by situating technological evolution within the ontological logic of the noosphere. We argue that AI functions not as an external tool, but as the co-evolving digital substrate of a planetary superorganism. Guided by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s evolutionary principle that...

This article explores, as a working hypothesis and not as a validated protocol, whether and how the symbolic structure of the five Tibetan chakras — colors, visualizations, syllables — can offer insights for psychological practice. The operation is conducted by clearly distinguishing between: the description of the Tibetan contemplative tradition, reported in its original context; a possible...

The distinction between the mind and body, their relatedness and respective properties is perhaps the single most persistent problem that faces philosophical contemplation. Various models have been proposed in order to overcome this gaping duality: idealism, occasionalism, epiphenomenalism, behaviourism, etc.. The model proposed within this thesis corresponds to psychophysical parallelism - a...
