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.

In this episode you will learn:

  • The three key networks of an awakened brain that make us feel loved, guided, and connected to something greater
  • Why spirituality provides 80% protection against suicide and more protection against depression and addiction than medication alone
  • How to nurture your child's natural spiritual awareness without needing to have all the answers yourself
  • The powerful "3 Fs" technique to break free from emotional eating and manage stress in healthy ways
  • Why breathing patterns directly signal your brain about danger or safety, and simple breath work to reset your nervous system
  • The surprising science of why humans must dream and how dreams serve as essential "training" for the brain
