Relational spirituality is love...So we all have a spiritual brain and there's two ways to use it.
Imagine starting your day with a single question that could transform your sense of connection and well-being. In this episode of 'Cracking Open with Molly Carroll', Dr. Lisa Miller, a professor at Columbia University, dives into the fascinating world of the neuroscience behind spirituality. She reveals how asking ourselves, 'Can you remember a time when you felt a deep connection to a loving guiding force?' can tap into our innate spiritual capacity. Dr.
Miller shares her groundbreaking research on what she calls the 'awakened brain'. Through MRI studies with young adults, she discovered that contemplating this question activates areas of the brain linked to spiritual development. This awakened brain can shield us from trauma, anxiety, and depression while enhancing our resilience and sense of love. In her conversation with Molly Carroll, Dr.
Miller explains how our brains are naturally wired for spiritual relationships and how nurturing this aspect can lead to profound inner peace and stronger connections with others. She also touches on the concept of the 'spiritual child' and the significance of relational spirituality in mental health. If you're curious about how spirituality can be rooted in science and want to explore ways to cultivate your spiritual muscle, this episode is a must-listen. Dr.
Miller's insights offer practical advice for anyone looking to deepen their sense of purpose and connection in life.
