Scientific Studies on the benefits of Meditation At Inner Realms Journey, we are utilizing many age-old practices and are excited to find that the scientific community is realizing its potential as well. Years ago you would have been hard-pressed to find any published studies by credible experts in the field of meditation, shamanism, or guided visualization techniques. In the last decade, things have changed. As awareness grows, hundreds of studies are being conducted and confirmed by trusted pillars of academia. For instance, in 2014, a neuroscientist and psychologist from Harvard University used real-time brain scans to show actual changes in brain activity during meditation. The effects of regular sessions were tested to be as effective as any treatment available, including medication. Since the late 70’s, science has been aware of the benefits of group meditation and positive visualization. From the original study in START ⤳

Gaming, RPGs, Meditation & Inner Realms Journey An article was written by Inner Realms Journey founder, Aaron Pyne. I grew up playing RPG games like Dungeons and Dragons and many others, along with card games such as Magic TG throughout my teenage years and into early adulthood. These games not only were fun, but expanded my imagination, creativity, and of course, love for all things fantasy and mythical. I spent hours with friends, playing as much as we could. While in our parent's basements, (or even 1 year in study hall!), we would adventure to mythical realms, overcome challenges, level up our characters, and have tons of laughs. It was a salve to our adventurous spirits who didn’t really get to experience those things in real life. I believe it provided a way for our spirit to be free while growing up in START ⤳

Kid’s are losing “self” before it's found... The dissolution of imagination A wizard’s majik quest… After the last years of studying the current atmosphere of kids and schools, disheartening is the general vibe. The teachers I spoke with seem overwhelmed with required teaching, low budget, and navigating new levels of mental health challenges and new forms of technology all at the same time. Kids themselves are experiencing new levels of mental health, general disconnection from self and others, and high rates of addiction to screen time. A crucial part of childhood development is the development of the self, the identity of who one is within the whole. This is an interplay of internal and external forces that shape an individual as they come of age. In past generations, there was a general structural format of how this happened (some better than others!). However, START ⤳

Imagination and meditation are two powerful tools that can help us to unlock our potential and improve our lives in many ways. Imagination allows us to create new ideas and concepts, to explore different possibilities, and to see things from a different perspective. It is a vital part of the creative process, and it can help us to solve problems, to develop new skills, and to learn new things. Meditation, on the other hand, is a practice that helps us to calm our minds and to focus on the present moment. By meditating regularly, we can improve our mental clarity, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase our overall sense of well-being. Together, imagination and meditation can be a powerful combination. By combining the creative power of our imagination with the focus and clarity that comes from meditation, we can tap into a START ⤳
