“A person’s degree of spirituality is determined 29 percent by heredity, and 71 percent by environment. Our spirituality is substantially—roughly two-thirds—a factor of how we’re raised, the company we keep, the things we do to build the muscle.?But still a significant degree of our capacity to experience the sacred and transcendent—one-third—is inscribed in our genetic code, as innate as our eye colour or fingerprints. This emphasizes the interplay between nature and nurture in shaping our spiritual inclinations.”

What Dr Miller speaks about in her book The Awakened Brain is not a cooking recipe of our creation. It's the essence of the inner energy consciousness that sustains in faith about what we are here for. Unfortunately, along with happiness in life, and meaning at work, we seem to have lost faith in ourselves.

This topic of faith and its loss with current generations will resonate deeply with all of us. It is not merely loss of faith in an invisible God and his or her visible salesmen in the world. It is loss of faith in oneself that is frightening. The insights shared by Dr Lisa Miller in her groundbreaking book, The Awakened Brain integrate scientific knowledge with spiritual wisdom, giving one the hope that there is still time to redeem our faith and ourselves.

This loneliness, a growing epidemic , can lead to depression and a questioning of life's purpose.

Breaking the Cycle:? Pathways to Hope
Imagine a world where double-taps on a screen are the new high-fives. That’s where many of us, not just Gen Z, find ourselves, feeling alone in a crowded digital space. It’s not just about missing out on the latest meme; it’s about feeling disconnected from the world and sometimes even from ourselves.

Dr Miller proposes practices like communal prayer as she talks about a Yom Kippur dinner and connecting with nature in the way that she now lives, to cultivate inner peace and awareness. Professional coaching insights can further empower individuals to break free from negativity. Self-coaching as a starting point allows individuals to heal past hurts and clear emotional baggage.
