Yagya is a very foundational practice in Vedic tradition. It is a holistic system which integrates rituals and philosophies with subtle energy transformation aimed at the purification of body, mind and the environment.

This paper attempts to find similar grounds in the poetic mysticism of Bengali polymath nobel laureate Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) and the metaxological metaphysics of the contemporary Irish philosopher William Desmond (b. 1951), by casting the philosopher-poet not as an autonomous master of systems, but as a peripatetic pilgrim-poet venturing toward Transcendence. Defying the historical...

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.

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...
