In this talk, Dr. Julie Staples presents the scientific research showing how yoga works to heal trauma symptoms. Trauma affects the entire body taking a toll on the immune system, the endocrine system, and the nervous system. Yoga and meditation have effects on the body and brain that can counteract these changes.
Current research on mystical experience in neuroscience, genetics, and evolutionary cognitive science has proven that mystical experience has a real and verifiable basis in our biology. With the help of recent advances in the biology of meditation, we now know that the recipe for mystical experience has been engraved like a rail upon our brains. It turns out that our brains are genetically coded for transcendence.
