pain

Spirituality has, surprisingly, been brought home by science. Spirituality has remained an enigma since the beginning of time but now the positive effects of meditation have been scientifically proved by the scientists.

Researchers from Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology joined hands for a contemplative neuroscience study. In this study, the changes that took place in human brain due to the effects of meditation were studied.

Though F-word outbursts are run-down in public debates, a new study claims making foul expletives helps take away some of the sting when you stub a toe or hammer a finger.

Researchers have discovered, swearing in such circumstances may act as a painkiller especially for those who are not given to uttering profanities.

Experts theorize, cursing is a verbal counterattack on the source of the pain which releases a “fight or flight” response in people and heightens their aggression helping them cope with pain.
