    MBB LIVE FROM SXSW 2024: The Science of Spirituality & Well-Being

    MBB LIVE FROM SXSW 2024: The Science of Spirituality & Well-Being

    What does it mean to seek out a life of meaning, a sense of wonder and connection, to something greater than ourselves in a way that increases our overall WELLNESS? 

    Does the body need a transcendental connection in order to be whole?

    Mayim & Jonathan are LIVE from SXSW 2024 to break down the intersection of SCIENCE & SPIRITUALITY!!!

    We're unpacking all things mind, body, & spirit, including:
    - Physiological impacts of our minds being shaped by past experiences, perceptions, and thoughts
    - How mind-body stress can impact the autonomic nervous system and lead to psychosomatic illness & chronic pain
    - Positive physical & emotional effects of connecting with something greater than ourselves through altered states of consciousness (either with the use of psychedelic drugs or holistic mindfulness practices)

    Mayim and Jonathan reflect on scientific evidence of mind-body connection, intergenerational trauma, the body’s system of interconnectedness, auras & energy, and other concepts that were previously dismissed as pseudoscience.

    They explain:
    - Science behind power of prayer & meditation and their ties to gratitude & resilience
    - Why transcendental experiences could hold the potential to cure society's deepest suffering
    - What is actually happening to the brain when we are in an altered state?
    - How we can access these states without the use of drugs
    - Correlation between near death experiences & DMT
    - Interstitiums, microbiomes, fascia work, memory retrieval, the Akashic records & collective consciousness

    Mayim and Jonathan also discuss the Default Mode Network, from its regulation with drugs like psilocybin and why it can cause some to struggle with maintaining feelings of connection when they return from an altered state, to its role in planning, decision-making, goal-directed behaviors, connecting the brain and spirit, and processing memory and emotion.

    PLUS, they explore where they think the intersection of science and spirituality is headed next!
