This is interesting. The Truth About Hair and Why Indians Would Keep Their Hair Longwww.sott.net/articles/show/234783-The-Truth-About-Hair-and-Why-Indians-Would-Keep-Their-Hair-LongThis is an article that claims that long hair somehow has an effect on psychic or sensory abilities. Supposedly experiments were conducted during the Vietnam war using Native American trackers as scouts and it seems that when they were forced to get military hair cuts their tracking abilities suddenly took a down turn. Indians that were allowed to keep their hair long did much better than their short haired counterparts. The article then claims that hair somehow is an extension of the body's nervous system and helps to communicate with the environment. Here are a couple of paragraphs. Hair is an extension of the nervous system, it can be correctly seen as exteriorized nerves, a type of highly evolved 'feelers' or 'antennae' that transmit vast amounts of important information to the brain stem, the limbic system, and the neocortex.
Not only does hair in people, including facial hair in men, provide an information highway reaching the brain, hair also emits energy, the electromagnetic energy emitted by the brain into the outer environment. This has been seen in Kirlian photography when a person is photographed with long hair and then rephotographed after the hair is cut. This article actually makes sense to me. I'm not sure why it does but it does. It is an interesting idea anyway.

I have had long hair all of my life..it just doesn't seem 'right' to be short. Same with my daughter. Her boss asked her if she had ever thought of cutting it (she's 36) and she said pretty much the same..it wouldn't feel like her..or right to be short.

The skeptic in me has been thinking about this and there are some other possible explanations. Maybe they just didn't feel comfortable with short hair and they weren't able to concentrate as well as they normally would. Or maybe the long hair kept the wind from blowing in their ears, or the sunlight from shining in their eyes. Maybe having the long hair hanging down while they were looking down tracking caused them to focus more on the ground and when they cut it off it allowed their perifial vision to cause too many distractions.
On the other hand maybe the long hair does improve psychic abilities. Maybe that is where women's intuition comes from. I think it needs to be studied more before a definitve conclusion could be reached.

I chopped all of my hair off when I was in middle school and I hated it... everyone called me mop-head because apparently naturally curly hair goes crazy when its weight doesn't hold it down... lol... I like to keep my hair around an inch past shoulder-length... any longer and it's annoying... any shorter and it doesn't feel right like you said Jo... Right now it's about two inches past shoulder length... it's just about time to cut it again...

Did your psychic abilities decrease when you chopped it?
I used to have long hair too back in the 70s and 80s but now it's short.

I wonder if it has to do with how many hairs on your head. I mean my hair is shorter now. But I have more hair thick wise than a person who has thin hair hanging to the floor. Always did. As a child my self photos appear to be 1/4 body and 3/4 hair. My older sister in law would thin my hair as a teenager. The floor resembled enough hair to cover a grizzly. And yet you could not tell much difference to look at me. Psychic huh?

But yea... my psychic intuition seems to not be as good as it used to be... now that you mention it. I haven't been dreaming either lately... not in a couple months...

That's funny Lois..I have enough hair for ten people. Very thick and heavy. Maybe there really is something to it. No I meant my psychic thingy ma bobby is on high right now Lorelei. I knew my neighbor's son was going to have a baby and knew the sex of her two grand kids before the sonograms and then I 'felt' this huge urgency over her brother..that something was going horribly wrong..and they HAD to get him into the doctor but they kept stalling. They did a cat scan last night and found cancer throughout his brain and pneumonia. Usually..it's not this 'hard' feeling (about as subtle as a hammer). I'm still feeling a sense of urgency but it's not associated with a person right now. I was wondering if anyone else was feeling this strong surge? Usually my 'feelings' are very flexible and soft feeling..this is a little disturbing

I haven't been feeling anything lately. The past few months have been almost dead as far as psychic events go. I wish something exciting would happen because it has been pretty boring.

I dreamed there was some kind of sickness here in the states which was killing thousands, young and old. A disease which was not known to man. I woke up feeling down and depressed. For whatever it is worth. I don't feel anything happening as of late. That dream was really scary.. Helicopters came in and picked up the dead to take them away somewhere to dispose of them. For safety reasons I guess. I'm sure it was in North America only.

I've been sick the past few days. Does that mean that a helicopter is going to come and get me? I wouldn't mind going for a ride in a helicopter. Wait a minute...what if I have the deadly disease that Shami dreamed about? I'm doomed.

Nods..yep..he has a fever Does that mean we get to strip him naked and throw him into a bathtub full of ice water?? ;D ;D ;D You know they used to do that to kids with asthma back in the 1800s before rescue inhalers were invented... apparently that (any kind of shock really) and smoking cigars helped asthma attacks...

Although historically the men of our people traditionally shaved or plucked their hair into a scalp lock, I wear mine long as a symbol of solidarity.

I'm glad that people are free to wear their hair as they want to. On my recent trip to Oklahoma, I saw only one obviously Indian man in a convienence store. He was huge! And wore his hair in 2 braids. We had a line of people waiting to check out, and no one stared at this large man at all.. That's not surprising since we were in reservation territories; the non-staring; but I was surprised I didn't see more Indians. ************************************************** My "intuition" has been right on, lately. I would be a fool not to listen to it, even about accidently locking myself outside. . I'm also making a genuine effort to stand still and listen. I feel an urgent need to do this. Even at work . On Friday I was standing still by a lunch table, just looking around, and a student said "why are you acting so weird?". Pretty rare for me to just stand there, I guess. ;D

When I was younger I had longer hair at times but since my mid 20's I've kept my hair fairly short. Just very recently since winter is on it's way I have let it grow down to my shoulders. I feel comfortable with it but I'll most likely get a "wild hair ;D" and cut it short again . Has it increased my psychic abilities ? Maybe just a little.

I have always been a long hair. Before the Beatles, I fought not to have my hair cut: just seemed so unnatural. Now its thinning, but that does not seem to affect anything psychic. Perhaps my beard makes up for the top of my head
