Mystical Brain (2006)

Mystical Brain is a short documentary that reveals the exploratory work of a team from the University of Montreal who seek to understand the states of grace experienced by mystics and those who meditate.

Filmmaker Isabelle Raynauld offers up scientific research that suggests that mystical ecstasy is a transformative experience and could contribute to people’s psychic and physical health, treat depression and speed up the healing process when combined with conventional medicine.
