Lee Sannella |
 |
|
Changes in the human brain and nervous system can result from intensive spiritual disciplines. Lee Sannella, M.D., author of Kundalini: Psychosis or Transcendence?, has devoted many decades to the exploration of spiritual paths. "Kundalini" refers to energy coiled at the base of the spine which can rise up to the brain. Although Western science knows virtually nothing of this process, it has been described in detail in Eastern spiritual traditions. | |

The underlying cause of most social and personal problems is lack of mindfulness. Psychologist Charles Tart, Ph.D., author of States of Consciousness and Waking Up, discusses how difficult it is to translate meditative awareness to the problems of daily life. He describes the training methods of G. I. Gurdjieff as an alternative form of mindfulness training intended to be used in the midst of workaday activities.
