According to Columbia University researcher and psychologist Dr. Lisa Miller, an Awakened Brain is an aware brain. It is available for new opportunities, surprises or even new information that turns our heads.
She writes, “We are not alone. Life is always reaching out to us. Through integrated awareness, we’re available to see, feel, and know life’s hand and be in constant dialogue with the consciousness that runs in, through, and around us.”
An aware brain is present to what life is showing you, whereas an achieving brain focuses on achieving goals and obtaining the “next thing.”
Perhaps most importantly, an awakened brain contributes more to our resilience and well-being. This awakened brain is part of a spiritual life. First, take five minutes to hear from Dr. Miller herself about the powerful impact of an awakened brain.
