Psychiatrist and author Dr. Anna Yusim unpacks why spirituality belongs in modern medicine. From her “soul correction → soul contribution” framework to real clinical synchronicities (including a lifesaving midnight intervention), we explore evidence that weekly spiritual practice reduces suicide risk and can extend lifespan, how community “fields” shift biology, what qualifies as a miracle (highly beneficial yet statistically improbable), and practical tools for seekers and clinicians. A grounded, data-meets-mystery guide to the next paradigm of mental health.Subscribe for more science × spirit conversations.Connect with Dr. Anna Yusimhttps://annayusim.comhttps://www.instagram.com/annayusim/https://www.amazon.com/Fulfilled-Science-Spirituality-Happier-Meaningful/dp/1455596795Chapters01:23 Exploring Spirituality and Its Definitions 06:10 Anna's Journey: From Logic to Spirituality09:16 Soul Correction and Contribution14:00 Intuition and Synchronicity in Healing18:52 The Shift in Psychiatry: Embracing Spirituality22:20 Understanding the Voice of the Soul25:55 Authenticity and the Fear of Rejection26:22 Overcoming the Fear of Authenticity29:45 Timing and Paradigm Shifts in Spirituality36:10  Understanding Suffering and Spiritual Growth39:45 The Role of Spirituality in Suicide Prevention44:00 Defining Miracles and Manifestation47:23 Integrating Spirituality in HealthcareSupport the show💖 Support the Podcast and become a Subscriberhttps://www.buzzsprout.com/2069281/su...🧠 Instagram / pranichealingpodcast 🌐 Facebook / pranichealingpodcast
