Almost Live episode #196

Enjoy a National Film Board documentary with audio description!

Is it possible to shed light on the states of grace experienced by mystics and meditators? In the film Mystical Brain, Carmelite nuns and Buddhist monks agreed to be part of the experiment. The film shows us the exploratory work of a team from the Université de Montréal. It seems that mystical ecstasy is a profoundly transformative experience and could contribute to people’s psychic and bodily health, treat depression and speed up the healing process in patients who combine meditation with conventional medicine.

Directed by Isabelle Raynauld (2006)
