I describe a guided meditation that, when used by near-death experiencers (NDErs), recreates fragments of their NDEs. The meditation is based on Michael Persinger's neurological theory regarding the "God Experience," and its success supports that theory. The present study included too few subjects to support quantitative analysis, and must be regarded as a pilot study. It seems reasonable to as...

BACKGROUND Collaboration between providers of conventional care and complementary therapies (CTs) has gained in popularity but there is a lack of conceptualised models for delivering such care, i.e. integrative medicine (IM). The aim of this paper is to describe some key findings relevant to the development and implementation of a proposed model for IM adapted to Swedish primary care. METHODS...

The controllability of semilinear stochastic delay evolution equations is studied by using a stochastic version of the well-known Banach fixed point theorem and semigroup theory. An application to stochastic partial differential equations is given. 1. Introduction. The fixed point technique is widely used as a tool to study the controllability of nonlinear systems in finite-and infinite-dimensi...
