Time can sometimes drastically change its usual course. In an instant, it suddenly stops, and you find that everything around you is either frozen or moving too slowly ...
What did time stop like?
One day a man saw how time stopped. It started with a headache that soon got worse, and Simon Baker, who survived the sensation, stepped into the shower to relieve his condition. Later, he said that he looked at the jets of water above his head and suddenly saw that he distinctly distinguished each drop, as if it had stopped in the air. And what we usually perceive as a blurry movement turned into a bright picture for a few seconds, where drops were visible, distorted by air pressure. The effect, Simon recalls, was like slow-motion film footage.
Baker (this, as you understand, is not his real name) went to the hospital the next day, where doctors found that he was suffering from an aneurysm that posed a real threat to the patient's life. Nevertheless, Simon told his doctor (Fred Ovsey of the University of Chicago) about what had happened the day before and was very interested in his description of his unusual condition. The neurologist soon published material about his patient in the journal NeuroCase.
How neuroscience explains the Baker case
It is easy to assume that time flows the same for everyone, but as experience shows, the continuous stream of consciousness is a rather fragile illusion, skillfully fixed by our brain. Studying what happens in the moments extreme situations, researchers are trying to figure out how and why the brain does these tricks, and they suggest that in some circumstances we can all experience similar temporal transformations.
In addition to the case with Baker, many similar situations have been recorded in medicine (they are called akinetopsia). In addition, there is evidence of sensations of the acceleration of the flow of time (the so-called time-lapse).
For example, as a 61-year-old woman, returning home on the subway, she said, she suddenly saw that the doors of the train were closing unnaturally slowly, as if their movement consisted of separate freeze frames. And the 58-year-old Japanese generally found that the movement of the lips and facial expressions of people standing nearby clearly lag behind the words they uttered at their usual pace. That is, in this case, the slow frame was clearly out of sync.
Ovsyu believes that there are much more such cases than recorded by researchers. Such situations are often perceived by people as a transient phenomenon that can be ignored.
What causes the feeling of time stopping
Unfortunately, this most often accompanies seizures of epilepsy or the development of a stroke. But why do these pathologies affect the perception of time by a person? Researchers who have tried to find those areas of the brain that are responsible for timing can shed light on this problem.
Particularly interesting in this regard was the area visual perception human, referred to as V5. It is located in the back of the cerebral cortex and responds to the movement of an object, but it is possible that it also plays a role in our sense of the passage of time.
When doctors from the university hospital located in Lausanne acted on the named area magnetic field, trying to minimize its activity, the subjects were not able to do some things. As expected, they were unable to track the movement of the dots on the screen, but they were also unable to determine the time for which some of the dots lingered.
Explaining such phenomena, the researchers say that the human perception of movement has its own chronometer, fixing the speed at which objects move in the field of view. But as soon as the work of the brain is disturbed for some reason, the world stops.
True, this is only an option, since not all patients who experienced time distortion had damage to the V5 zone.
Not only disease affects the perception of time
Another explanation can be considered the discovery that our impressions are stored in the brain in the form of separate, glued together frames. And, according to Rufin van Rollen of the Toulouse Center for Brain Research (France), when brain disorders destroy this glue, a person sees only unrelated images.
And not only a disease can disrupt brain activity, but also extreme events experienced by a person. It is not for nothing that people who find themselves on the verge of death remember that time at this moment seems to have stopped, and movements around are perceived as slowed down.
Perhaps the work of the brain at such a moment is activated by stress hormones, and thanks to this, our thoughts and movements become accelerated, and everything that happens around us slows down accordingly.

Science claims that time always flows at the same speed, and no one can change this - neither man nor nature. But there are times when a person's sense of the passage of time changes and it seems to him that time speeds up or slows down its run. Usually such a feeling appears when a lot of events occur in a matter of seconds and consciousness cannot “fit” them into ordinary time periods.
Many facts are known when a person in moments of mortal danger feels that time slows down, as if it stops. A lot of people say, when describing dramatic events, “It feels like time has stopped.” The front-line soldiers claimed that they saw shells and bullets that flew at them. They survived only because they managed to evade them. At first glance, this seems impossible, because the human eye cannot perceive objects that move at such a speed. However, the words of the participants in the hostilities are confirmed - more than once the soldier suddenly dived to the bottom of the trench, and the next moment a fragment or a bullet plowed the parapet in the place where his head was a second ago. Some people said they saw bricks fall on top of them or icicles fall from the roof. The objects seemed to be flying in slow motion, so they didn’t even have time to get scared. And there are many such examples.
So, once the car of cosmonaut Vladimir Aksenov stalled at the crossing railway. Fifty meters away from the bend at that moment a speeding train appeared. The driver would not even have had time to get out of the car - in a second the train would inevitably crash into it. Aksenov pulled the ignition key out of the socket, and then put it back in and slowly pressed the starter. Immediately the engine started up and the car, having moved off the rails, froze a couple of meters from the speeding train. The cosmonaut had the feeling that the cars were passing by like in slow motion. He even managed to make out the pale face of the driver, who did not even start braking.
Another case a few years ago occurred in an alpine camp. The Georgian instructor Vakhtang said that on that day he was walking in conjunction with his friend. He was the first to move, and his friend remained at the edge of the snowfield to insure him. When Vakhtang was almost halfway, he noticed how cracks began to appear in the snow on the sides and a little higher from him. Then huge layers of snow and ice slowly rushed down. The instructor did not feel fear and acted as if there was nowhere to hurry - he looked out for a large frozen piece of snow and jumped over to it, then chose the next one, and so on. His friend couldn't believe his eyes when he got out of the avalanche - in fact, it all happened in a split second.
Statements of this kind are about slowing down visual perception fast-flowing processes cannot yet be rationally interpreted. They are incomprehensible and amazing.
Chemists, physicists and philosophers agree that the course of time is constant and all events occur within a strictly defined time frame. Then what happens to a person when it seems to him that time is going very slowly or has stopped altogether? Perhaps the whole point is the acceleration of biological processes in the body in critical situations - nerve impulses pass faster, muscle fibers contract more often, although a person does not feel or realize this.
The researchers analyzed people's stories about their feelings and made the corresponding calculations. As a result, they concluded that the course of proper time can be accelerated by 130 times. Therefore, everything around is 130 times slower and it seems to a person that time has stopped. Confirming this hypothesis is the fact that all people who experienced the “stopping of time” claim that everything happened in a strange silence. This is quite simple to explain - with the acceleration of individual time by more than a hundred times, the sounds entering the ear turn into infrasounds that are not perceived by the human hearing aid.
Researchers from medical college conducted an experiment to check whether time for a person actually slows down in a moment of danger. Volunteers without insurance were dropped from a height of fifty meters backwards. They, of course, fell on a special net, but everyone still experienced a very strong fright. Each volunteer felt that their flight lasted much longer than it really was. They fell in a matter of seconds, but for them it seemed much longer. A person who experiences extreme fear falls into a kind of trance. At the same time, all body systems begin to work with acceleration. A person begins to think much faster.
Physicist and chemist Ilya Prigogine argued that each person constructs his own time at every moment of being. At critical moments, the brain manages its own time, i.e. can slow it down by almost a hundred times, or maybe speed it up. There is a clear example that proves this. The Boers, who began in the 1780s to seize the lands of the Xhosa and Zulus, faced an amazing phenomenon - African healers could speak from the bullets of their warriors. As a result, they attacked the Europeans despite fierce fire. Some remained unharmed even when they were fired at point-blank range. The bullets didn't bounce off the Africans, but they didn't hit them either. Then the colonialists did not begin to deal with this riddle, because in the end all the charmed warriors were killed. But today the secret of their invulnerability can be explained - African warriors could arbitrarily speed up the course of their individual time and, thus, dodge bullets. But they died, because this could not continue indefinitely.
Some yogis in the East are able, it would seem, to stop time. They know how to disappear right before the eyes of astonished spectators and end up behind them. This phenomenon has long been described. The rituals that helped to become invisible were described in the most ancient Indian manuscripts written in 2500-1400 BC. These manuscripts say that concentration of thought is necessary for the complete disappearance. Do yogis teleport or are they able to speed up their time as much as possible, which is why the audience does not see them? In contrast to critical situations, a subjective sense of time accelerates in a person experiencing positive emotions. A person simply does not notice how time passes.
So, we can say with confidence that the states of fear, mortal danger and stress transfer the body into the so-called "emergency mode", which is accompanied by an increase in the speed of perception of the surrounding reality and the speed of thinking. Perhaps this is done to reduce the loss of time in the implementation of protective actions against the onset of danger? The organism must fight to the end with the use of all available means and forces.

You already know how to realize exactly the long enjoyment of happiness. After all, sometimes it seems that life is so short that you just want to stop the fast flow of time. But how to stop, slow down the time in life or the perception of time?
Indeed, in fact, we do not have time to come to our senses, how the long-awaited vacation has flown by and we again need to go to work. How quickly passed a happy night with a loved one. How quickly the weekend went by.
We are amazed at how quickly children grow up.
We realize with horror that we ourselves have matured, the best years of our lives have flown by, and out of nowhere, old age has come.
It seems that we live to the fullest, happily, for our own pleasure. But why does our life fly by so fast? How to stop this crazy run? How to learn to stop time and is it even possible to do it?
It seemed like he couldn't be stopped.
Common sense, the laws of physics suggest that this is impossible.
Is that how life goes by?
I just want to make a miracle and break the laws of physics.
Today I will make you happy.
Breaking the laws of physics is not only possible, but necessary. It is necessary in order to double, but what to double, multiply your happiness tenfold and actually live a very long time.
But how to do that?
Not within the framework of classical physics.
Fortunately, science does not stand still.
If you did well in school, then you probably remember Einstein's theory of relativity. The fact that time, it turns out, is not an absolute value, but dependent on speed and space. Now you can find a lot of videos about the theory of relativity and time dilation.
I propose to see one of these, with an explanation of the effect of time dilation in a hundred.
Today's Knowledge quantum physics they went even further and say that at a subtle deep level, from where all energy arises, there is no time at all. It appears during the transition to our classical dimension. And the more our consciousness is in the three-dimensional world familiar to us, the more it begins to manifest itself, which means it begins to flow faster. So, in order to slow down time, we need to make sure that we feel more in the deep, unmanifested world of subtle energies.
Also, research by scientists confirms the subjective perception of time.
After all, everyone notices that with age it begins to flow much faster, and vice versa in younger years.
This is due to the fact that when the brain records less information, subjective time begins to pass faster.
Dr. David Eagleman, a neuroscientist, conducted an experiment in which people were shown one image on a monitor for a long time and monotonously, people stared at it. Then the monotony was quickly broken by a new second image, and then the new image disappeared just as quickly.
All subjects confirmed that the second image was on the screen longer than it actually was, and the first picture was vice versa.
The novelty of a new stimulus makes the brain wake up, turn on cognitive resources, activate attention, and subjective time slows down.
AT young age we are constantly learning something new about the world. And every experience is made for the first time. First time to school, first love, first step into adulthood. The brain receives fresh, rich information and subjectively events flow more slowly.
And what happens then. Not only do events lose the beauty of novelty, they become ordinary and predictable. The brain acquires a chain of programmed habits, we turn into robots, consciousness and attention simply fall asleep as unnecessary. All this leads to the fact that life rushes at a crazy speed.
Also, many people know that in a stressful, shock situation (for example, during an accident), events are greatly slowed down, as in slow motion.
All this confirms the fact that only with non-sleeping attention, when consciousness is activated, do we begin to perceive more and more slowly.
So, how to slow down time around you?
In order to reduce the speed of the passage of time, it is necessary, firstly, to change the subjective experience of time, and secondly, to make sure that our consciousness is more at those levels of the universe where time slows down, and also where it disappears altogether.
Only in this way can we not only feel that life is long, we live long, but actually, from the point of view of quantum physics, increase the passage of time in our life.
So what should be done?
stop
Start by just stopping.
At least for a moment, stop rushing somewhere forever, forgetting about the current moment. You will not have time to come to your senses, as the whole life will fly by at a frantic pace. After all, you yourself are pushing it with your haste. Stop, stop the world, stop your internal dialogue, look around you, no need to rush, slow down the rhythm, the pace of life. You will be surprised that you did not notice the world around you before and you will feel how everything has stopped.
Practice Mindfulness
Mindfulness is also the art of stopping time.
Meditate
It awakens our awareness, our attention. Meditating, we come to the silence of the mind and begin to clearly observe everything, without being distracted by the internal dialogue.
Then this skill will pass into everyday life, the main thing is to support it with the help of awareness. Awakened attention will begin to notice the details of the surrounding world more, and more information will flow into the brain, time will flow more slowly.
Most importantly, meditation and awareness reveals our true awareness, the real Self. And this is nothing but human consciousness located at the subtle levels of the universe, where time first slows down, and then completely disappears. After all, it is not for nothing that they say that the soul lives forever. Just where the soul is, there is no time at all. And the more we reveal the soul in ourselves, the slower time will flow, and therefore our life.
Meditation is the control of our consciousness, which means the ability to speed up and slow down the sense of time within ourselves.
Appreciate everything around you
If you appreciate every moment of life, everything that is around you, time will slow down. It is a fact. For example, when you are near a loved one, take your time, stop your mind, feel with all your heart the fact that you feel good around him. Rejoice, enjoy this present moment. Savor your happiness.
Spiritual seekers have a practice that also causes time to slow down.
Live every moment as if it were the last in your life and remember that everything around you can disappear. After all, death can come at any moment. It is foolish to live life without remembering this and not appreciating every moment of life. Of course, this is a powerful technique, applied under the guidance of a mentor, but it makes a lot of sense. After all, for example, only after the death of a loved one, we understand how much we loved him, that we missed a lot, that we were always in a hurry, did not appreciate him even the moment when we were next to him. And then time really stops. So let's appreciate life while it lasts.
Notice the new
Try to notice something new in the world around you. Be sometimes at least just like children who are surprised at everything that surrounds us. This is the only way it will go to the brain new information, time will go slower. I assure you that in life there is a lot of interesting, new and this new is around us, and not somewhere far away. You just need to be able to look at the world from a different angle, from a different point of view.
Get rid of programming habits
To be able to look at the world differently, you need to get rid of the programs-habits sewn into the brain. Mindfulness will help you with this. But don't expect quick results from them. Try not to live like a robot right now. Do something new for yourself, do something new, spend the day differently. Or try reacting to the situation in a way that is normal for you on a normal day.
Raise your inner energy
There is a theory that a person with can slow down time, Lazarev says about this.
Lazarev, how can we learn to slow down time around us:
Of course, everything is interconnected. Mindfulness and meditation also increase the level of internal energy.
As Lazarev said in the above video, haste and the desire for a quick development of events not only speeds up time, but also may not lead to the desired result.
Now you know how to learn how to slow down time.
If you live more consciously and follow the advice in this article, the time of your life will flow much longer. But most importantly, you will not get bored from such a long stay, as is usually the case when time drags on. I assure you, there is no dullness in the state of awareness. You will enjoy the fact that now you live much longer, not figuratively, but literally.
What prompted me to write this article?
My friend complained to me that his life is flying by quickly. Yes, and many say that over the years, time moves faster.
Immersed in my feelings, I realized that I could not agree with them.
Through many years of meditation practice and trying to be mindful in everyday life, my experience of time has changed.
For example, past last year I feel like a really big span of my life. And even as if not a year had passed, but two whole. It didn't even happen as a child.
My day doesn't go by as fast as it used to. Because it is saturated with new sensual experiences from the beauty of the world during awareness, from admiration for the emergence of new high feelings within oneself, from the appearance of amazing effects from meditation. Life does not just pass longer, it is saturated with new amazing colors of all kinds of experiences. And I am again surprised how the practice of meditation and awareness radically changes a person’s life, makes us different, leads not only to health, but also to happiness.
Practice and your life will also change for the better.
And at the end of the article for you a wonderful song about the eternal from Yuri Shevchuk. Nothing stops time like good music and deep lyrics in a song.
Leave your business, stop rushing, stop everything by listening to the song.
And also remember a well-known song that is very suitable for this article. There is only a moment between the past and the future.
A song that we live only here and now.
Have you ever noticed that many miracles around you are due to certain objects. That is, for example, they took a red handbag to work - and luck does not leave you all day, there is no end to customers. Or combed bangs on left side and ... And so on ad infinitum. The people call such things talismans and amulets and attribute all sorts of possibilities to them. Only slander or slander them for miracles strangers. And why trust strangers what you can do yourself by putting all your positive energy and strength of desire into the chosen thing personally!
So, let's start the process of programming things to fulfill certain desires.
Defining a Magic Thing
The first thing you need to do is review your belongings. That is, observe how they affect your life. Maybe you yourself will feel a strong pleasant attraction to certain objects. By my example, I can say that I had one bag, well, not at all fashionable, but I loved it so much that I always took it with me, even if it did not fit my outfit. Her presence had a simply magical effect: the day always developed as if by a wave of a magic wand. My friends did not understand my attraction to a completely unfashionable accessory. But I knew that a nondescript-looking bag actually brings me a "sum of abundance." I am not advocating to choose nondescript things, just opt for those items that you are most attracted to. It can be anything: a dress, beads, a key chain, a pen, a notepad...
Organize items by category
It is quite natural that human desires focus on more than just one thing. We all want to be loved, healthy, successful, wealthy. And if you break this list into sub-items, then you get a huge pyramid consisting of small desires (a house, a fur coat, a computer, a pet, a slender figure, good memory and etc.). Therefore, our second task is to arrange mentally all the selected things according to their meanings. For example, I will wear a ring with a pearl to meet a man (since I noticed that this jewelry contributes to love and a successful date). And a notebook with gold letters should always be on my desk while I work (good luck in my career), etc.
Programming things for good luck
So things have been chosen. They all lie in front of you in the room. Time to start programming them for the fulfillment of specific desires. To do this, you need to retire so that no one bothers you to spend. At this time, turn off the phones, take a shower to wash away all the negativity and bad thoughts that have “stuck” from the outside. It is advisable to light an aromatic candle or just a candle, golden or red, so that our petitions are heard by the Universe faster.
In a relaxed state, meditate, focus all your thoughts on the beautiful. Visually imagine yourself in the middle of a beautiful green meadow. There is no one around you, there is a blue sky above you with white fluffy clouds, and beautiful, relaxing music sounds very quietly somewhere. You stand with your arms spread out, as if you want to fly up. Breathing is even and calm. Your heart is overflowing with joy, you feel like the happiest person on Earth. And at that moment, a bright light begins to emanate from you. sunlight. It extends to all things of luck, and they also begin to glow and shimmer with gold. When you see that you have charged with your energy strong desire good luck things, take three deep breaths in and out, thank the universe and end the meditation..
