Sedona's Secrets: Seven Days to Rewrite Your Brain?

What if you could compress 20 years of meditation practice into just seven days? In Sedona, Arizona - where ancient wisdom meets cutting-edge neuroscience - our host Méline embarks on an extraordinary journey to explore exactly that.

In this special documentary episode, Méline tests four radically different approaches to altering consciousness. Her quest begins at dawn on Bell Rock, one of Sedona's mysterious energy vortexes, where yoga takes on an entirely new dimension. 

At the waters of Red Rock Crossing, scientist-turned-meditation-guide Michele Mattix reveals how modern research is validating ancient practices, showing how just minutes of meditation can fundamentally rewire our stress response. 

Then, when shamanic breathwork specialist Valerie Irons guides Méline through an ancient breathing ritual, something unexpected happens that challenges everything she thought she knew about the mind-body connection. The experience raises a compelling question: what transformations are possible when we combine ancient wisdom with modern technology?

But it's at the BioCybernaut Institute where science fiction seems to become reality - a $20,000 brain training device promises to compress decades of meditative practice into a week, with some participants reportedly jumping from an IQ of 75 to 120.

In this exciting first for The HumanWare Project, we glimpse a future where we don't have to choose between time-tested traditions and technological innovation. Instead, we might find our next evolutionary leap in their harmonious integration, opening new pathways to optimise our brain's remarkable capacity for change.
