Music: No need for drugs – get your “feel good” dopamine from music. Scientists have found that the pleasurable experience of listening to music releases this neurotransmitter in the brain, a chemical important for more tangible pleasures associated with “rewards” such as food, drugs and sex.

The link between science and spirituality is my passion. So, it was a natural high when I heard Gregg Braden speak this past weekend at The 8th Annual Conscious Life Expo in Los Angeles about this very thing with relation to a much-discussed date in time: 2012. A New York Times best selling author, former computer geologist and systems designer, Bradden is a pioneer in bridging science and spirituality, as is demonstrated in his fifth book, Fractal Time: The Secret of 2012 and a New World Age.
