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.

TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE:
- We are all naturally spiritual beings. From birth, our brain has circuits ready to perceive and receive a relationship with God – but we still have to cultivate it through prayer, meditation, and how we live.
- Our brain has a bonding network that lights up when we feel God’s presence, the same way it does when we’re held by a parent. When we awaken our spiritual awareness, we know we are loved and we are never alone. That’s not an opinion. It’s how we’re built.
- Every time we’re annoyed, betrayed, or hurt, we have a choice whether to love. That doesn’t mean tolerating harm. It means remembering that we’re on a spiritual journey, and so is everyone around us.
- The brain is not just a factory that produces thoughts. It’s an antenna that receives love and guidance from the universe. The real question is, ‘God, what are you showing me now?
- Spiritual healers don’t manufacture sacred consciousness. They host it and direct it. That’s who we all are to one another: ambassadors, conduits, the hands of God helping each other along.
- Imagination isn’t just making things up. When we see, hear, or feel something inwardly, it can be a way of receiving information from sacred consciousness – a catch in the catcher’s mitt of the soul.
