Happy Thursday! Today, we’ll cover how scoliosis is more than just a spinal problem, along with a mysterious kind of intelligence that exists without a brain. Let’s dive in.

SHARE*      READ NOW The Mysterious Intelligence That Has No Brain The boundaries we have drawn around perception and awareness may be narrower than we thought. SHARE*      READ NOW The Kind of Publication You’ve Been Waiting For In an era dominated by pop culture and fast-paced consumption of information, today’s audiences are accustomed to sensational headlines and short clips on social media. They may give you rapid sensory stimulation, but they don’t offer you a lasting sense of fulfillment. How do you break free from this trend? Does a sanctuary exist that allows us to slow down, to reflect, and to appreciate the beauty of this world? Look no further. The answer is in The Epoch Times. Most people come to us because of our truthful journalism. They say we are a refreshing current in an era when partisanship and bias are too common. They also love us for another big reason—our stories on arts, culture, and history are almost nowhere to be found. We make sure that the best of humanity—classics, traditions, religious works, and true beauty from the past and the present—can be appreciated by people of today and the future.

Step 1: Lie on your back, allowing enough space to move your arms fully above your head. Step 2: Holding a dowel stick or any other straight stick long enough to allow your hands to rest shoulder-width apart (you can be creative), start with the stick resting on your hips. Step 3: Swing your arm through an arc while keeping your elbows straight until your hands touch the floor, or you move your shoulders as far as they can. Move slowly, taking up to four seconds to move through the arc. Step 4: Return slowly to the starting position and immediately begin the next repetition. Keep your elbows straight at all times. Step 5: Move through 10 repetitions per set and perform three sets.
