Your Brain on Spiritual Experiences
by S.A. Wiatrolik, Associate Producer, New Living Expo
How does brain change during a person’s spiritual practice?
As you've heard, humans use approximately 2% of their brain; the remaining portion is lying dormant. When we practice any form of spirituality, the dormant portions of our brain start activating! Researchers have recently concluded that Americans are becoming less religious but at the same time more spiritual, as they seek a sense of union with something larger than their selves.
 Scientific research on how certain regions of the brain change when spirituality activated or deactivated included various types of spiritual experiences, such as participation in religious services, connection with nature, meditation, and contemplative prayer. The researchers discovered that the effects of spiritual practices on the brain are indeed measurable! Also, a person does not have to participate in a certain type of spiritual practice to see benefits. This relatively new scientific field is called Neurotheology, the study of the relationship between religion and brain science.
Spiritual experiences shift perception,  and minimize the effects of stress on mental health. Meditation and repetitive prayer boosts activity in the areas of the brain connected to attention and concentration. Regular spiritual practice also proved to support recovery from substance use disorders, and other behavioral health issues. There is great potential for therapeutic practices that incorporate spirituality. Your therapist at some point may prescribe prayer.
 If you are open to beginning or increasing your spiritual practice, keep a journal along with your increased devotion to meditation, prayer or your own personal type of practice. Note in the journal, even a digitally recorded journal, what seems to be improving in your life. Namaste.
