Quantum states in the brain, neuroplasticity & the heart's brain
New research shows quantum states in the brain may link consciousness to the entire universe.
In a fascinating convergence of physics and neuroscience, recent research suggests that human consciousness may function as a quantum phenomenon—one that connects our minds with the broader universe.
Building on the controversial Orch OR (Orchestrated Objective Reduction) theory, scientists are now producing experimental evidence that supports the idea that microtubules—structures within brain cells—can maintain quantum coherence, even in the brain’s warm, wet environment.
These quantum states could be the key to consciousness existing as a wave capable of superposition and entanglement, potentially linking human awareness to quantum systems across space.
This theory has gained new traction thanks to simulations and experiments showing that quantum reactions can persist inside microtubules for significantly longer than expected.
Meanwhile, theoretical physicist Timothy Palmer suggests that consciousness may reside in a cosmic fractal “state space”—a shared geometric structure that might explain both free will and our sense of being interconnected with the universe.
While not yet definitive, this research marks a critical step toward understanding consciousness as more than a neural illusion: it may be a quantum feature of reality itself.
Neuroplasticity, the brain's remarkable ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, reveals that repeated behaviors—whether positive or negative—shape our brain's landscape. Every time we engage in a specific behavior, we reinforce the corresponding neural pathways, making it easier to repeat the same action in the future. Unfortunately, this means that unhealthy habits and thought patterns can become deeply entrenched.
However, Matrix Reimprinting offers a powerful intervention to create positive change. By tapping into emotional memories and reframing them, this technique allows us to disrupt negative patterns and establish new, healthier pathways in the brain. As we consistently practice these new behaviors, we reinforce the emerging neural connections, paving the way for lasting transformation and enhanced emotional well-being. In this way, Matrix Reimprinting not only helps us heal from the past but also rewires our brains for a brighter future.

Recommended reading for deeper insights: (They are not in any particular order — but I personally began with The Biology of Belief after watching Bruce Lipton in a Psych-K training video. I’ve since seen him live three times: in 2014 at a Karl Dawson event and again in 2024 in Dublin. Bruce was ahead of his time when he made his discoveries, and although he was initially rejected by his peers, his work has transformed how we understand healing. And Dr. Joe Dispenza — WOW! — after a major car accident, he healed himself despite being told he’d never walk again without major surgery and metal rods in his spine.)
Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D.
A pioneering cell biologist known for The Biology of Belief. He explores how beliefs and perception affect gene expression (epigenetics), showing that environment and consciousness can influence our biology.
Key idea: changing how we think and feel can change how our body responds on a cellular level.
Gregg Braden
Best-selling author and speaker, known for merging science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom (his book The Divine Matrix is a big one).
His work often focuses on the power of belief, how consciousness and “fields” work, and how we can use intention to influence personal and collective realities. Amazon India
Dr. Joe Dispenza
Known for his healing after a serious car accident (he was advised he might need major spinal surgeries / perhaps be confined, etc.). He used meditation, energy work, mindset practices, and has spoken widely on how thoughts and emotions shape physical change.
Books like Becoming Supernatural explore how, through meditation and mental rehearsal, people can change their biology, recover from illness, and create new states of well-being.
HeartMath Institute
A research organisation exploring the heart-brain connection, emotional regulation, and coherence. They study how the heart’s signals (electrical and electromagnetic) impact the brain, nervous system, and emotional states.
Their work supports coherence, stress reduction, resilience, and shows that when the heart and brain are more in sync, we function better emotionally and physically.
Richard Flook
A teacher, writer, and specialist in transformational healing and energy psychology.
His work often focuses on the root causes of illness — old emotional wounds, beliefs, trauma — and how belief systems, spiritual awareness, and energy work can support healing.
The Body Keeps the Score — Bessel van der Kolk, M.D.
A groundbreaking book that shows how trauma is stored in the body, and how approaches like EFT and Matrix Reimprinting can help us gently release it.
Not at all — you can do EFT by yourself using the tapping points and some simple phrases. But if you’re working through something very deep or painful, a practitioner can guide you safely and help you go further.
That’s actually a good sign — it means the emotion is moving and being released. If it feels overwhelming, just pause, take a breath, and keep tapping gently until you feel calmer.
As often as you like. Some people use it daily as part of their self-care, others only when something comes up. Even a few minutes can make a difference.
Sometimes feelings rise up before they ease. That can feel uncomfortable in the moment, but it usually settles quickly. If it ever feels too much, stop, breathe, drink some water, and return when you’re ready
