So those people that achieve enlightenment, I guess, that have an enlightened experience, I guess, if you may, are we talking about a state effect that just happens once and then marks the patient and change the life, or it's a continuous state, more like a trait, is something that changes the brain and the neuroplasticity and carries forward.
What happens in your brain when you meditate or pray? In this episode of 'Whole Body Mental Health Radio', Dr. Jose Calderon-Abbo engages in a captivating conversation with Dr. Andrew Newberg, a leading figure in the field of neurotheology. Dr. Newberg, who holds multiple academic positions at Thomas Jefferson University and the University of Pennsylvania, has dedicated years to exploring the intriguing connection between the brain and spiritual experiences.
Neurotheology is a fascinating area of study that examines how spiritual practices like meditation and prayer influence our brain function and overall mental health. Dr. Newberg shares his research on how different parts of the brain, such as the parietal lobe and limbic system, play a role in these experiences. He also delves into the tangible benefits these practices can have on mental well-being, from reducing stress to enhancing emotional resilience.
This episode is perfect for anyone curious about the science behind spirituality and how it can impact mental health. With its engaging dialogue and thought-provoking insights, you'll find yourself rethinking the power of your own spiritual practices.
