Power up your brain - Alberto Villoldo

The
quest for enlightenment has occupied mankind for millennia. And from
the depictions we've seen - monks sitting on meditation cushions, nuns
kneeling in prayer, shamans communing with the universe - it seems that
this elusive state is reserved for a chosen few. But now, neuroscientist
David Perlmutter and medical anthropologist and shaman Alberto Villoldo
have come together to explore the commonalities between their
specialties with the aim of making enlightenment possible for anyone.

Joining
the long-separated worlds of science and spirit, Perlmutter explores
the exciting phenomena of neurogenesis and mitochondrial health, while
Villoldo brings his vast knowledge of shamanic and spiritual practices
to the table. Together they draw from the most powerful tools in each
discipline to create the Power Up Your Brain programme, a
ground-breaking, five-week plan that helps prime the brain for
enlightenment. With nutritional advice, dietary supplements, physical
exercise, shamanic practices, meditation and visualisations, Perlmutter
and Villoldo guide readers, step by step, through a program to help
them clear their minds from previous trauma and open themselves up to
experience the inner peace, vast insight and extraordinary creativity
that define the experience of enlightenment.
