Dr. Zappaterra has authored numerous scientific papers and books, including I Am, All One, All Love, and Close Your Eyes, What Do You See? co-written with his son, emphasising awareness and imagination. His alphabet book, A is for Awareness, and programs like Awakening Awareness reflect his dedication to mindfulness, healing, and expanding consciousness. Mauro shares the story of his upbringing, and early curiosity in human development and the power of the mind. He speaks about his studies in molecular biology and dissatisfaction with the format of his learning thus leading him down the holistic path and Craniosacral therapy which informed his PhD in Cerebrospinal fluid.  Giancarlo and Mauro discuss the mystical and scientific significance of cerebrospinal fluid as well as ways to tune into this fluid and space through breath and meditation.  Mauro shares his philosophy that by doing these practices, we understand who we truly are, and the connection with the totality of the universe.
