Time doesn’t always pass at the same pace. Under certain conditions, people experience what psychologists call “time expansion experiences” (TEEs)—moments when seconds feel like minutes. These instances are reported during emergencies, intense concentration, meditation, and even some sporting events. Recent research suggests that the perception of time is far more flexible than commonly assumed, and understanding this phenomenon sheds light on the extraordinary capabilities of the human mind. What Are Time Expansion Experiences? Time expansion experiences occur when the brain slows its perception of events, making moments feel extended. Psychologist Steve Taylor of Leeds Beckett University has spent over a decade investigating these experiences. His research indicates that TEEs are not limited to life-threatening situations.

The research suggests consciousness could draw on information from events that have yet to happen, blurring the line between memory and foresight. Such findings challenge the conventional picture of time as a straight path. The Science Behind Precognition Precognition is considered a form of...

Purpose isn’t about arriving at one perfect role or destination—it’s about living in a way that fuels clarity and energy, even when tomorrow is unclear. Small, intentional choices can recast uncertainty as an opening to feel grounded and more fully present. 1. Notice Purpose in Everyday Moments Purpose often grows from simple, daily actions rather than a single life-defining goal. Showing kindness to a neighbor, tending to a garden, volunteering...
