The Awakened Brain: Dr. Lisa Miller on Neuroscience, God, Synchronicity, and Healing

About this episode

Dr. Lisa Miller discusses the connection between neuroscience and spirituality, exploring how the brain is wired to connect with God and the implications for health and healing.

What if your brain is actually wired to connect with God, and your spiritual life is the missing key to your health and healing? Dr. Lisa Miller, psychologist, Columbia professor and bestselling author is back to explore the science of spirituality and what happens in the brain when we awaken to a relationship with the Divine. She shares the MRI research on the "spiritual brain," how love and faith transform our biology, why imagination is a divine antenna for downloads and creativity, and what it means to live an awakened life. - Join us in LA on Aug. 2-3 for Cathy's summit! cathyheller.com/summit - Read The Awakened Brain by Dr. Lisa Miller https://www.lisamillerphd.com/ - Follow Dr. Lisa Miller on Instagram @dr.lisamiller - Previous episode with Dr. Lisa Miller https://cathyheller.com/2023/07/dr-lisa-miller-on-how-to-tap-into-your-awakened-brain-embark-on-a-spiritual-adventure/
