MONA SOBHANIDr. Mona Sobhani is a cognitive neuroscientist, researcher, and author with over 15 years of experience and a passion for exploring how science and technology intersect with society and affect human health and well-being. For a long time, spirituality was not part of Mona’s interests – in fact, she used to be vehemently opposed to it, because it didn’t seem to make any scientific sense. Mona’s stance on spirituality radically changed when a series of life-altering events and inexplicable experiences launched her into a two-year investigation of phenomena such as past lives, intuitive knowing, karma and the complex interactions of mind and matter. In this process, and to her astonishment, Dr. Sobhani came across extensive scientific evidence for spiritual phenomena, which started to profoundly affect her worldview.She documented this journey in her first book on the intersection of science and spirituality, “Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe”, launched in 2022, which won an Ommie Award for Best Spiritual Book.You can find Dr. Mona Sobhani at:Website: https://monasobhaniphd.com/Book – "Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe": https://amzn.eu/d/2ObAGXo"The Brave New World of Psychedelic Science" newsletter: https://psychedelicrenaissance.substack.com/Exploring Consciousness – a community of scientists who are curious about consciousness, spirituality, and the nature of our reality: https://www.exploringconsciousness.org/Find the full reference list under the Youtube video description: https://youtu.be/lvE8O0OQEFkAI IMAGE CREDIT: image background: https://unsplash.com/@alinnnaaaa ; everything else generated with https://nightcafe.studio/

EPISODE #14 GUEST – KATHERINE CREIGHTON CROOK Katherine Creighton Crook is a healing facilitator, intuitive empath, as well as a multi-award-winning sports and remedial massage therapist. Katherine didn’t use to believe in anything that didn’t have a solid scientific explanation – but after experiencing past life memories and realizing she is able to feel her client’s emotions, see energy in their bodies, and hear their body talking to her, she decided to lean into the spiritual unknown, while applying scientific methods like recording & collating data to track patterns and reactions. In other words, to incorporate spirituality in her work in a grounded, scientifically-informed way. Katherine’s mission is to support people in connecting with their body and releasing whatever is creating pain or holding them back from showing up in the ways they’re meant to.
