The awakened brain's extraordinary power to transform our mental health lies at the intersection of spirituality and neuroscience. This episode proves that. Dr. Lisa Miller reveals it through groundbreaking research showing spiritual connection physically alters brain function. We also explore how our brains are literally built with neural networks designed to perceive transcendent love, receive divine guidance, and experience oneness. Capabilities that, when activated, reduce cortisol, mitigate depression, and shield against addiction and suicide. Dr. Rangan Chatterjee shares how learning to manage our stress response through simple practices like mindful breathing and releasing the need to always be right creates lasting inner peace. And, neurosurgeon Dr. Rahul Jandial offers a fascinating perspective on why we must dream, explaining that our brains cycle between waking and dreaming states as a form of "high-intensity training" essential for maintaining mental flexibility. These three expert conversations help uncover how spiritual practice, stress management, and proper sleep create the foundation for profound mental wellness and personal transformation.
