Enjoy this episode? Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it! If you’re a longtime listener of The Way Forward, you know how excited I get when I have guests on who talk about water and its relation to consciousness, health, and the nature of reality. In this episode, Alec is joined by Mauro Zappaterra, MD, PhD, to explore the relationship between our 4th-phase water, Cerebral Spinal Fluid (CSF), consciousness, the soul, Kundalini Yoga, Kundalini awakening, breathwork, and God. CSF is a fluid that surrounds and cushions the brain and spinal cord, playing a crucial role in their function. But, according to Dr. Zappaterra and his work, the purpose and importance of CSF is likely beyond anything we’re told. Mauro Zappaterra obtained his MD and PhD from Harvard Medical School. He is board-certified in physical medicine and rehabilitation with a focus on optimizing human performance, increasing awareness and decreasing suffering. He has been practicing mindfulness since 1998, and teaching mindfulness to patients with chronic pain since 2018, and he is the Director of Multidisciplinary Care at Synovation Medical Group. He has led the Awakening Awareness Program and Inward Inquiry for the Emerging Sciences Foundation which can be found on YouTube.  He has published numerous scientific papers and medical book chapters on the cerebrospinal fluid, disability, and pain management. He has also published "I Am", "All One", and "All Love" which are three books exploring topics of awareness, primarily for kids, but really for people of all ages.  He has also published "Close Your Eyes, What Do You See?" with his son, which is a story about imagination and intention.  And he also published "A is for Awarness", a new alphabet book to expand your consciousness vocabulary.  He continues to create programs to help patients with chronic pain and investigate the cerebrospinal fluid and integrate new research to evolve the hypothesis of The Cerebrospinal Fluid and I Am. ————————— The Way Forward podcast is sponsored by: ORGANIC MUSCLE: Organic Muscle is revolutionizing sports nutrition by exclusively utilizing non-GMO ingredients from USDA Organic farms.
