Author and researcher Dr. Lisa Miller unpacks the science of the Awakened Brain and how humans are innately wired for spiritual experiences. She discusses the root causes of the mental health crisis our planet is facing, and how by reconnecting to this innate spirituality we have the power to heal on a global level. She describes depression as two sides of the same door, revealing the opportunity hidden within our suffering. She discusses how transcendent experiences are explained on a neurological level and the 4 major finds of her research. 

She reveals the science of synchronicity, surrender, and our ability to be 'trail angels' who help others along their journey. She also shares a guided practice to open yourself up to life's wisdom and live in harmony with the divine will.
