Russian research posits an approach for describing many, if not all, the biopositive phenomena related to bioenergy healing and conscious intention. This research has postulated and tested the existence of "torsion fields."
Russian scientist Akimov and his team consider the quantum vacuum as a universal torsion wave carrying medium. The torsion field is said to fill all of space isotropically, including its matter component. It has a quantal structure that is unobservable in non-disturbed states. However, violations of vacuum symmetry and invariance create different, and in principle observable, states. These theorized "violations" and "invariances" may be what the energy practitioners are creating, which induces changes in the gamma radiation previously described.
The theory linking biopositive physiological effects of bioenergy therapies with radiation hormesis has been well described.4,5 Radiation hormesis is the concept of using small doses of ionizing radiation in a manner which has a beneficial affect on the body. In summary, whole body exposures of mammals to low-dose irradiation (doses

My First trip was through the Yucatan Peninsula in 92; mayapan, Izamal, Coba, and other larger sites. I stayed about 2 months travelling through various villages and smaller locations as well. The interest in the culture and science of the Mayans stuck with me and returned to Yucatan, Chiapas, Guatemala and Belize every year until 1998. I would spend an average of 30-40 days per trip.
I was also lucky enough to work on Digs (usually grunt work) in various locations, but this gave access to University professors and archeologists, anthropologists and linguistics students about Mayan culture and beliefs, including points that we are discussing and debating.
I speak Spanish fluently, learned some Mayan on these trips, however there are large dialect differences from one region to the next.
On all my travels and studies, there was never a reference to shift change, Or end of ages, or consciousness shift, or any of the events presented and ascribed to Mayan cultural beliefs on this thread. I continue to communicate with people i met and we discuss the corruption of Mayan writings and beliefs in this regard.
The calender system we are discussing clearly extends past 2012 for several thousand years, this is not up for debate. 2012 is a Date artificially advertised for Hollywood, new age and cottage industry hype to generate income, nothing more.
There are no references to an event that will change humanity or other such mention regarding 2012 in Mayan culture or writings, this is something created in the last couple years by people quick to see potential in selling this ideal.
I cannot blame them for trying to put food on the plates of their children, but it should not be presented as accepted belief, it is not.
The astronomy and science of Mayans was particular interest to me, how they were able to achieve insight and discoveries, much of which were actually derived from Olmec civilizations. So it intrigued me even further and then studied Olmec cultures, which i continue to study today.
I STRONGLY urge people to research themselves, do not take second or third hand interpretations of these events by anyone including myself. Stay away from anyone trying to sell a product, but do some research on this independently. There is nothing more that will occur on Dec 21 / 22 of 2012 than will happen on Dec 21/22 of 2010. it will be just another day.

Haha are you kidding?
It's the END of the calendar. End of the cycles (of which they needed to end somewhere).... NOT armageddon.
This 2012 thing has been blown out of proportion, twisted, spun and diluted so many times, that people are thinking one of two things:
1) Armageddon
2) Ascension
In reality, it's nothing more than the end of a cycle of the long-count calendar. There are NO mayan prophecies except the mis-translated stories from mayan descendants and pseudo-interpretations. This is nothing more than an on-going hoax, presented by new-agers, frauds, scam-artists and money-makers... and other wannabe authors and ill-researched fraudsters eager to cash in on this hype.
If you disagree, then i make you an offer. For all those who think the world will end or that we will shift dimensions on 2012
I offer you this:
If i'm still here in 2013, then you can all pay me £1000. If you guys are still here (which according to your beliefs you won't be) then you can cough up the money...
Deal?
DENY IGNORANCE
The astronomy that will unfold in the sky directly over the Maya on the winter solstice of 2012 is the key to understanding why the Maya restarted their calendar on that exact day.
The sun will be in the middle of the dark rift, the Maya birth canal, on the solstice. The sacred tree will be above the Maya with the sun exactly between Mars and Venus.
The third rebirth occurs when the sun moves into the middle of the galactic birth canal, the dark rift, and this can be referred to as the galactic rebirth of the sun and again, this happens once a year. So the three rebirths of the sun can be referred to as the daily rebirth, the solstice rebirth and the galactic rebirth. A triple rebirth of the sun occurs in the years around 2012 when the solstice rebirth and the galactic rebirth happen on the same calendar day.

I too thought the same thing at one point; when I first discovered the Mayan Calendar and had not researched it enough.
I find that most people who hold your belief are generally unresearched and naive people, especially when you consider the [poor] state of the world and the direction it is headed in.
Then again, it might be a way of dealing with your fear.
In psychology, when you predict that something will happen and believe it as if it were true, the prediction becomes true. It's called a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Maybe you're just so full of fear and so unwilling to encounter change that you ignore all signs that the world is going to sh1t and just try convincing yourself that 2012 is just the end of a calendar in order to alleviate the fear and make yourself feel better.
Amid all the "diluted, twisted, blown-out-of-proportion" theories about what will happen in 2012, there is one that is actually based on observable scientific and historical fact; the theory presented by Swedish microbiologist and leading Mayan Calendar researcher Carl Johan Calleman. There was a large Mayan rock discovered in Coba Mexico with rows of hieroglyphs on it. Carl deciphered these hieroglyphs and found that they were time periods.
We are on a schedule. Wake up.

You're very lucky to have had the opportunity to travel to the Yucatan and study these ancient cultures and sites. Unfortunately, you could not be more wrong about everything you posted. I love how you said you spoke Spanish "fluently" so as to give the impression that you had some kind of advantage over everyone communicating with the Mayan people, and so your words hold more credibility. It makes me wonder whether you really visited these sites like you say or whether you're just a lying sack of poop.
The Maya prophecy holds that "nine Gods" will descend from the sky and bring peace to the planet. These Gods were described as "the men of wisdom" by Mayan Elder Don Alejandro Oxlaj in an interview. A lot of the current living Maya in Guatemala and Mexico actually believe that there is going to be some type of pole shift and that we're going to "return back to the stars." Basically, the Maya end date 2012 is their version of the Christian Armageddon.

There are rumours many of their elders have been threatened on revealing anything else to the people.
