Brain Boosting: The Art of Mental Muscle-Toning

Original Air Date Wednesday, November 16, 2022 

There are many facets of the human experience we have yet to fully comprehend. While we have mapped out the systems and attributes of our physical bodies, very little is understood about the intuitive and spiritual aspects of our complex selves.

Quantum physics offers us a glimpse into our connection with the universe. To help us navigate the widely uncharted territory of the ethereal, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with three authors who write about mental agility, mental hygiene, brain boosting, and spiritual practice.

Elaine Fox is the Head of the School of Psychology at the University of Adelaide, Australia, and the author of Switch Craft: The Hidden Power of Mental Agility. She describes the concept of Switch Crafting and how to increase longevity and satisfaction in life.

Quantum Physicist, Amit Goswami, and Valentina Onisor, a pioneer of quantum integrated medicine discuss the essence of the book they co-authored, The Quantum Brain: Understand, Rewire, and Optimize Your Brain. They also explain the role of the chakras and preconscious in determining health and happiness.
