Caminos Para IR Más Allá: Prácticas Espirituales En La Era de la Ciencia

To 'go beyond' means to access a higher state of consciousness--a place of bliss, greater understanding, love and connection. This groundbreaking manual combines the latest scientific research with deep mystic knowledge and wisdom in order to examine seven spiritual practices. Along the way, it points out how everyday activities, including sports and our relationships with animals, can bring us closer to mystical dimensions. It also delves into traditional religious practices such as fasting, prayer, and the celebration of festivals and holy days, and looks at the states of consciousness induced by psychedelics such as ayahuasca. Ultimately, the book sets out to investigate why these practices work, how they relate to our brains, and to what extent they can open the door to expanded forms of consciousness.
