Why, at a time when we are better off materially and live longer than any generation in history, are depression and stress reaching epidemic rates? Emerging scientific research suggests that the answer to this modern paradox may lie within the brain itself. As Dr. Gregg Jacobs argues in The Ancestral Mind: Reclaim the Power, our emotional well-being is suffering due to our overreliance on the thinking mind-the rational, verbal, self-conscious part of ourselves that has been responsible for some of our greatest achievements and our separation from a deeper, older part of humanity.
The ancestral mind-our preverbal, intuitive, unconscious emotional mind-contains a deeper, wiser instinctual wisdom that has guided us unerringly for millions of years, yet in today's world it has become overshadowed by its rational counterpart. Our disconnection from the Ancestral Mind is a root cause of the stress of modern life.
Based on twenty-five years of research and clinical practice by internationally renowned mind/body expert Dr. Gregg D. Jacobs and a synthesis of recent findings in neuroscience. anthropology, and mind/body medicine, The Ancestral Mind offers a practical program for reengaging with this indelible part of our being, teaching us how to:
Access life-enhancing positive emotions while minimizing negative ones.
Connect with a more intuitive intelligence and foster a deeper, expanded sense of daily awareness. Achuese a more integrated concept of self through a closer harmony of intellect and emotion.
To improve our lives and guarantee a fulfilling future, we must invest in the ancestral mind as keenly as we do in the thinking mind. The Ancestral Mind shows us how.
