Half a Second Behind, Half a Second Ahead - Your Brains Weird Trick

Did you know you’re always half a second behind reality? That the “now” you’re experiencing already happened, and your brain is still catching you up? Neuroscience tells us two things that sound almost like science fiction: * It takes your brain about .5 seconds to process sensory input and fully register what’s happening. * Your body actually starts reacting .5 seconds before you consciously decide to do something. That means when you touch something hot and pull your hand back, or when you “just know” the right move to make, it isn’t your conscious self making the call. Your body already acted. So in a way, our conscious selves are remembering the future. Our bodies move first, our minds narrate after, and we tell ourselves the story of “I decided.” Why does this matter? Because your instincts aren’t random. They’re real, practiced, embodied intelligence. The gut feeling that arrives “out of nowhere” is your nervous system moving ahead of you. The decision that feels like magic may actually be your body remembering what it already set in motion. Half a second late. Half a second early. That’s the dance of being human — a little behind, a little ahead, and always narrating the mystery in between. ✨ In today’s episode of Celestial Crumbs, I dive into this hidden lag, why it changes the way we see free will, and how it makes our intuition feel almost supernatural.

Redefining the High Value Mindset

When people hear the phrase high-value mindset, they often picture luxury, polished appearances, or external success. But a high-value mindset goes much deeper than what can be seen from the outside. It begins with the way you think, the standards you hold, and the choices you commit to every single day. It’s knowing your worth, recognizing what aligns with your vision, and refusing to settle for less than what truly supports your growth. A high-value mindset isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. It’s choosing relationships, habits, and opportunities that reflect the version of you you’re becoming. It’s walking through life with clarity, intention, and self-respect, even when it feels uncomfortable. In today’s episode, we’re laying the foundation for this entire journey. I’ll share what it really looks like to embody a high-value mindset, how it influences the way you show up, and why it becomes the compass for every shift you’ll make over the next 100 days. 🎧 Tune in now and step into the first day of your high-value self.

Go For It - The Universe Needs Your Highest Self

We’re not easing into this — we’re going all in. For the next 100 days, we’re challenging ourselves to think bigger, act bolder, and embrace the so-called “delusional” belief that our highest self isn’t just possible… she’s inevitable. This challenge is about collapsing the gap between who you are now and who you’re meant to be, using mindset shifts, daily actions, and unapologetically high-value standards. In the next post, I’ll outline exactly how it works so you can join in and transform alongside me.

Soul Contracts: Did We Choose This Life?

Some believe we are born into random lives. Others believe we chose every detail. In this episode of Celestial Crumbs, we pull at one of the most haunting questions behind reincarnation and the nature of consciousness: Did you choose your life before you were born? We explore the theory of soul contracts—the idea that souls may choose their families, lessons, and even hardships long before incarnation. But this isn’t just a spiritual discussion — we also dive into the surprising science that echoes these ancient beliefs: ✨ Infant memory & brain development✨ Epigenetics and inherited trauma✨ Quantum physics & the block universe✨ Near-death experience studies✨ Psychedelic research and consciousness✨ Post-traumatic growth theory Through it all, we ask: if you chose this life, what were you hoping to learn? 📌 Resources & Mentions: * Journey of Souls by Michael Newton * Dr. Ian Stevenson (University of Virginia Past Life Studies) * Dr. Bruce Greyson (Near-Death Experience Research) * Dr. Rachel Yehuda (Epigenetic trauma studies) * Tedeschi & Calhoun (Post-Traumatic Growth Theory) * Johns Hopkins Psychedelic Research * Block Universe Theory ✨ Sneak Peek: Next Week's EpisodeIn next week's episode, we’ll explore the mysterious dance between synchronicity and coincidence — and the surprising science behind what we call “luck.” Are some people wired to experience more meaningful coincidences? And is luck truly random, or something we help create? 🎧 Listen now on your favorite platform. 💌 Share your thoughts or experiences:DM me on Instagram @celestialcrumbspodcast Get full access to Celestial Crumbs at nathaliebonilla.substack.com/subscribe

Remembering Past Lives: Children, Memory, and the Mystery of the Soul

In this episode of Celestial Crumbs, we step into the quiet, uncanny realm of past life memories—especially those carried by children. Host Nathalie Gloria shares two striking stories: the case of the Pollock twins, who seemed to return to their grieving parents after a tragic accident, and a boy named Luke, who vividly remembered a life as a woman named Pam who died in a Chicago hotel fire. What do these stories mean? Why do some young souls remember, while others forget? And what might they reveal about the nature of the soul, trauma, and the possibility of reincarnating with the same souls again and again? This episode isn’t just about belief—it’s about curiosity. It’s about tugging at the threads of consciousness and listening for what echoes back. 📎 Mentioned in this Episode:▶️ Watch the Luke & Pam video on YouTube: 💌 Share your thoughts by messaging me on Instagram: @celestialcrumbspodcast Support the podcast and buy me a cup of coffee by clicking here or of course subscribing here on substack.

Who Are You...Really? A New Episode Awaits

How often do you stop and ask yourself, Who am I really? Its a question as old as time, and just when we think we have the answer, life - and often science - throws us a curveball. In this week’s episode of Celestial Crumbs, I explore the Heisenberg uncertainty principle as a powerful metaphor for self-awareness. Can observing ourselves actually change who we are? Why does trying to define ourselves feel like chasing a moving target? What happens when we stop fighting uncertainty and start embracing it? Join me (and Coraline, of course) as we unravel the mysteries of identity, self-awareness, and personal growth - through the lens of quantum physics.
