For Centuries, these and other practices have helped people become calmer, happier, and more focused. Christian saints such as John of the Cross and Teresa of Avila encouraged habits of the heart and soul. Now we know that such habits benefit the whole person. In Spiritual Practices for the Brain, Anne Kertz Kernion relies on current research to link spiritual practices to improved health, whether it's the development of a teenager's reasoning processes or the lowering of risk for heart disease and dementia in older adults. Kernion's presentation is friendly and readable, and each chapter includes simple practices for readers to try. As an artist and a fitness instructor, Kernion exudes encouragement and hope for the person learning a new practice or revisiting a familiar one.
