What if creating space for daily spiritual practices could help you reconnect with yourself and change your brain in powerful ways?

I had a beautiful opportunity to sit down with Dr. Andrew Newberg, a pioneer of neurotheology, to explore how embracing spiritual practices can physically transform your brain and help you reconnect with your true self and intuition.

We explore why your spiritual path should be unique and that even small, individualized practices can reduce anxiety, heal trauma, and open the floodgates to joy, connection, and inner peace.

If you’re feeling burnt out from rigid religious structures, disconnected from your intuition, or curious about how your brain and soul are intertwined, I hope this conversation gives you permission to find a daily spiritual practice that feels good.

Let’s explore together:

• What neurotheology is and how it bridges science and spirituality
• How your brain changes during meditation, prayer, and spiritual experiences
• Why your spiritual practice should feel aligned, not forced
• How trauma and life experience shape (but don’t limit) your spiritual path
• The “happy prison” of the brain and how to escape outdated limiting beliefs
• Why connection to self, humanity, and the universe is critical for healing
• How to give yourself permission to explore, question, and trust your journey

Wherever you are on your spiritual journey, know that it’s never too late to explore, trust yourself, and create a deeply aligned life. We are all a work in progress, so give yourself the grace, compassion, and curiosity you deserve along the way.
