Recent research suggests that the way people think and act is actually affected by ceiling height.
A research paper titled, "The Influence of Ceiling Height: The Effect of the Type of Processing People Use," found that, depending on the situation, ceiling height will benefit or impair human responses.
Variations in ceiling height can evoke concepts that affect how individuals process information. A person in a room with a 10-foot ceiling tends to make more free and abstract connections than a person in a room with a lower ceiling. Therein lies the reason why cathedrals and other spaced deemed to be “grand” have high ceilings.
For the longest time, professionals from a variety of industries, -- realtors, event planners and contractors -- have intuitively understood people apparently prefer vaulted ceilings, but really didn't know why. This very interesting study may point toward some of the reasons.
Although many may not be in a position to change their personal environment, it is always something that can put on one’s manifestation intention list.
