Our guest, Dr. Lisa Miller, Ph.D., author of, "The Awakened Brain: The New Science of Spirituality and Our Quest For An Inspired Life," returns this week to explain how depression can be the key to a spiritual awakening. Dr. Miller says that the hallmark experience of depression is marked by a loss of connection to self and others but it is also a sense of not being held by a force or presence greater than yourself. Depression can be treated as something we wrestle with, or it can be viewed as an invitation to a reigniting of our "awakened brain," by connecting with ourselves and those around us. Join Kevin, Niseema, and Dr. Miller as she leads us through two visualization exercises that help us experience our "awakened brain," providing an opportunity for spiritual growth.
