As we begin to enter fall, Reem and guest Michael discuss the magic behind mirrors, the ugly truth about beheadings and the creepy science regarding phantom limbs.

Conversation focal points include mirror superstitions around the world, how to create a mirror portal, mirror gazing meditation, the story of Narcissus, Consciousness after decapitation, and mapping phantom movement representations in the motor cortex of amputees.
