I'm thrilled to share this enlightening conversation that bridges the gap between spirituality and science. In this episode, I sit down with Radhika Das, a remarkable spiritual teacher and author, to explore the transformative power of mantra meditation and its scientifically-proven benefits for our mental and physical wellbeing.
Together, we delve into fascinating research about how ancient practices like chanting and meditation can positively impact our vagus nerve, reduce stress, and promote overall wellness. We discuss the science behind sound therapy, the power of community in healing, and how mantras can serve as compassionate tools for self-discovery.
