Do you long for something deeper in your life? Are you innately drawn toward spirituality and curious about what you may find? Do you think we as humans are naturally wired to search for deeper meaning in our lives? Whether it be a walk in the woods, or through mediation or prayer, our guest today, Dr. Lisa Miller, believes that we are naturally able to tap into a heightened awareness of the world around us. We are able to cultivate circuits in our brains which help us to become more spiritually aware. By developing this awareness, we can begin to free ourselves from depression, anxiety, loss of creativity, and so much more. We can consider things from a more awakened, more elevated perspective. Dr. Miller believes when we feel depressed, this is an alert asking us for deeper spiritual exploration.

Dr. Miller is a professor in the Clinical Psychology Program at Teachers College, Columbia University, where she founded the Spirituality Mind Body Institute, the first Ivy League graduate program and research institute in spirituality and psychology.

Where does inspiration come from? Are you looking for guidance? How can you be more in touch with your intuition? It's not from the intellect. It's about the power of intuition and imagination.

Michael and Lisa talk about the importance of a meditation practice to get in touch with your intuition. He talks about how we communicate with one another, especially spirit to spirit, and how heartfelt exchange is an offering. He further talks about his prediction that the youth will lead the way, especially through the next millennium. Although they may be young physically, they are "older souls" who have an advanced understanding of spirit. With the media and technology available, they will offer new perspective and insight to further advance human understanding and compassion. He further describes "super psychics" who are naturally gifted with powerful healing abilities. His award-winning book, "You Are The Answer," helps guide people to true destiny and life purpose.
