New in paperback: the author of The God Code combines science and spiritual wisdom to reveal powerful words that can support us in times of trouble.

When life brings danger, doubt, hurt, or loss to our doorstep, there are words we turn to again and again for reassurance, protection, and healing. In The Wisdom Codes, now available in paperback for the first time, beloved teacher and thought leader Gregg Braden delves into the world's timeless texts to analyze these powerful words and show exactly how and why they sustain us in times of need.
New discoveries in biology and the neurosciences are revealing how the structure of language--the words we think and speak--can actually change the way the neurons in our brains and hearts connect. But as Braden explains, our ancestors already understood this connection, intuitively, thousands of years ago. They created specific word-patterns to provide comfort, healing, strength, and inner power in difficult times, and they encoded these powerful words in prayers, chants, mantras, hymns, and sacred writings to preserve them for future generations. This elegant, practical guidebook cracks the code and puts the words in your hands.
For each code, Braden offers insight into its meaning, why it's important, and how to apply it in practical ways in your life--whatever you find yourself facing. You'll find chapters devoted to healing from loss and grief, confronting your unspoken fears, finding certainty in the face of uncertain choices, finding forgiveness, and more. And even if you've been hearing, reading, or praying these words all your life, you'll get a whole new understanding of the ways they can change your mind and heart.
