One of the very best minds of the 21st Century. Her books are a must read for the curious. I can't wait to hear her take on Covid-19, and its impact upon the human condition.

Any showing of mind increasing healing? Not just pain relief? I have acid damage in my digestive system and retina damage. All increases stress beyond belief. I can't change my thoughts. It seems less easy with age to control my beliefs. All my neurotransmitters are drained at my near 40 age.

Try medications, or psychedelics? Maybe Meditation? Vipassana?
