Awake Minute 56: Neuroplasticity

Paramahansa Yogananda tells us about electrical pathways in the brain, but we ask the difficult question – why do we take the paths that we take in life? What grooves do our lives follow? How does Kriya help determine the path? The latter question is answered by Dr Andrew Newberg, confirming Yogananda was talking of neuroplasticity some 50 years before modern-day scientists. Fellow devotee Marguerite, who is great supporter of the podcast, joins us to share her insightful reflections.  0:00 Meet Marguarite; 14:55 Summary of the minute and Yogananda's advanced vocabulary; 21:20 Preparing for death; 29:13 Neuroplasticity; 59:47 Marguerite's feedback about our podcast.
