Our bodies operate in one of two fundamental states: either building or repairing. This dual mode reflects an ancient evolutionary rhythm shaped by early...
For years, energy psychology — and especially its signature technique known as tapping — has lived on the fringes of mainstream psychotherapy. Often dismissed as pseudoscientific, tapping has nonetheless garnered a loyal following among holistic practitioners and individuals seeking alternative methods for healing trauma, stress, and anxiety. But now, science is finally catching up.
In a pivotal moment for the field, Dr. David Feinstein, a leading authority in energy psychology, has published a landmark paper that seeks to bridge the gap between ancient healing methods and modern neuroscience. His work, “Physiological Mechanisms of Energy Psychology Treatments: An Updated Synthesis,” offers compelling scientific insights into why and how tapping works — and why it deserves a place...

Yet one vital group is still routinely sidelined: people with disabilities. Far from being a charitable gesture, welcoming disabled individuals into classrooms and offices creates environments that are not only more inclusive but also more effective for everyone.
In a society where nearly 30% of Americans live with a disability—most of them acquiring it during their lifetimes—this is not a marginal issue. It is a matter of civil rights, economic justice, and collective progress. And it’s time we reframe how we view disability inclusion—from burden to benefit.

For decades, outdated ideas about disability have shaped policy,...

In this moment of transition, as the nation held its collective breath, these individuals engaged in peaceful civil disobedience, forming what they called the “Peace Chain,” to sound an alarm about the state of democracy.
Among them were Quaker activists Bill Holcombe and Lewis Randa, whose refusal to simply go quietly has led them to face charges of “disturbing the peace.” Rather than accept a quiet dismissal...
