Why, when we have so much more than any other generation in history, are we so dissatisfied and stressed?

Author Gregg Jacobs reflects that in our over reliance on our Thinking Mind, we have become disconnected from the ancient part of our humanity: The Ancestral Mind.

Why, when we have so much more than any generation in history, are we still dissatisfied and stressed? Author Gregg Jacobs reflects that in our over reliance on our Thinking Mind, we have become disconnected from the ancient part of our humanity: The Ancestral Mind. In The Ancestral Mind: Reclaim the Power by Gregg D. Jacobs, Ph.D. © 2003, readers are led to rediscover this fundamental source of wisdom and power from our ancient heritage. The ancestral mind is essentially our unconscious mind, which has been the source of intuition and emotion that has guided our ancestors for millions of years. However, in today’s world that stresses the over-rational thinking mind, our intuition is overshadowed and even disavowed.

In The Ancestral Mind, Jacobs takes the reader through an exploration of both the Thinking Mind and the Ancestral Mind. In Part II, the author explains how to reclaim this ancient power. Exercises are included for taming toxic thoughts, identifying and reducing stress, reducing anger, relaxing and breathing exercises, learning the power of imagery and language, and reconfiguring your life to bring balance with exercise, music, light, and wilderness or nature.
