Huberman Lab · Unlearn Negative Thoughts & Behaviors Patterns | Dr. Alok Kanojia · 2 Mar 2026 podcast

So in chronic pain, what happens is patients, their somatosensory cortex is literally locked into the part of their body that's in pain.

People think that, and it's a self-reinforcing thing where something hurts, so your brain is thinking about it.

And the more that your brain thinks about it, the more that it hurts.

So Nidra is really good from the get-go.

And that's where I sort of think about the benefits of meditation as, first of all, scientific to woo-woo.

This we know works.

This we have no clue.

In my personal journey, it's been really weird.

So I was brought to this weird mystical stuff, like kicking and screaming, where once you're meditating one day and you have a memory from your past life, you sit there and you're like, what the fuck is that?

Like, is this a hallucination?

Is this some form of genetic memory?

Like, is this epigenetic memory?

Like, what is this?

I have no idea.

So I'm not saying that past lives even exist.

All I'm saying is that there are things that maybe some people can do that will give you the illusion of a past life.

That's all we know, right?

There's no, and this is where I think a lot of people are very unscientific because they say, if I have a memory of something that didn't happen, that means it happened.

No, it didn't.

The human brain constructs memory all the time.
