Do you believe we can trust our perception 100% of the time? Do you think reading about spirituality and practicing it are the same thing? Would it be helpful to you to have a better sense of who you are, your purpose, and your place in the world?

In today's episode of "Why It Works," Quinn Ferrall reveals some of the hidden mechanisms behind why Spirituality works. We explore the differences between science and spirituality, how our perceptions are tied to truth (or not), and what it means to live spiritually.

If you enjoy the show, about that favor.

I hope you are entertained and gaining useful insights.

Periodically, I have to decide how to allocate my time and one factor is the level of support. I need your help to get to the $100 level of support on Patreon, which will allow me to continue producing Why It Works. You can become a patron for as little as $2/month or make a small, one-time contribution.

To help, please:
1. Go to Patreon.com/whyitworks
2. Sign up and select a support level or a one-time contribution.

I hope to join you for many, many more seasons. Thank you!

MEET THE AUTHOR

Oksana Esberard is a certified business meditation instructor, mindfulness speaker, and consultant. After 10 years of personal practice and ambition to search deeper, Oksana completed a 4-month meditation and yoga training in the Indian Himalayas. The next two years she spent looking for the scientific evidence and medical explanations for her profound life-changing experience. Accidentally she has found her passion for mental and emotional well-being in the work environment. Utilizing her talent to convert the ancient 5000-year old wisdom into simple modern language, Oksana supports it by science and business practicality.

As a result, Oksana founded her company SattvaMe that works with business leaders, HR professionals, and executives installing mindfulness practices in the workplace for the next level performance, cohesive teams, and cultural alignment.

Born and raised in the Far East of Russia, Oksana became a citizen of the world at the age of 16. She has traveled to 55+ countries, leading mindfulness events and workshops in India, North America, and Russia.
