The link between a mother and child is profound, and new research suggests a physical connection even deeper than anyone thought. The profound psychological and physical bonds shared by the mother and her child begin during gestation when the mother is everything for the developing fetus, supplying warmth and sustenance, while her heartbeat provides a soothing constant rhythm.

Ah! Does this explain why mothers know when their kids are in trouble?

Excerpt from the article, linked in OP;


The physical connection between mother and fetus is provided by the placenta, an organ, built of cells from both the mother and fetus, which serves as a conduit for the exchange of nutrients, gasses, and wastes. Cells may migrate through the placenta between the mother and the fetus, taking up residence in many organs of the body including the lung, thyroid, muscle, liver, heart, kidney and skin. These may have a broad range of impacts, from tissue repair and cancer prevention to sparking immune disorders.

It is remarkable that it is so common for cells from one individual to integrate into the tissues of another distinct person. We are accustomed to thinking of ourselves as singular autonomous individuals, and these foreign cells seem to belie that notion, and suggest that most people carry remnants of other individuals. As remarkable as this may be, stunning results from a new study show that cells from other individuals are also found in the brain. In this study, male cells were found in the brains of women and had been living there, in some cases, for several decades.

Wow!

Wow!

I know!!!! It certainly blew me away:whistle:

It kind of makes me wonder if all that metaphysical talk about us being "One" is actually physical in its nature. Whodda thunk it?

I think so. As above, so below. Everything physical is made of energy, it's all The One, just different frequencies of it.

This is so interesting. It really does support the premise that we are all connected. I didn't expect that this would be proved in a very physical way but apparently it has. I suspect we would find other data confirming this if we could "test" for energetic patterns. Jhonie, I think you are right about this explaining why mothers have an almost psychic connection to their children, which is a bond like no other. Great find, breal!!!

[DeDukshyn]

Makes sense to me. Everything in the physical is a crude representation or reflection of the "ethereal". Because the bond and even somewhat "psychic" connection between a mother and child is real, it will be reflected in a real physically manifested way - there will be a "reason" for that in the physical. Some of these are just hard to find, and this is an incredible discovery which definitely reinforces this concept.

In that light also consider that the evolving internet - the physical manifestation representing the real interconnectivity of all humans on an ethereal level - we are all connected, like nodes of a single being, exactly as the internet is becoming the physical representation of. The Universe is holographic in all directions! :)
