The Neuroscience of Spiritual Awakening: How to Rewire Your Brain for Peace


Listen Later

Dr. Lisa Miller, Columbia professor and leading researcher on spirituality and mental health, shares groundbreaking neuroscience that proves we're all born with an "awakened brain", but two-thirds of us never activate it. She unpacks why depression is often misdiagnosed spiritual hunger, not medical illness, and reveals the three neural circuits that light up when we connect to something greater than ourselves. Through deeply personal stories, including her five-year struggle with infertility that ended the moment she opened her heart to adoption, Lisa shows how synchronicities aren't coincidence, they're guidance. You'll walk away knowing that your pain isn't against you, it's the doorway to discovering who you're meant to become.

Dr. Miller’s books:

  • The Awakened Brain
  • The Spiritual Child

In this episode you will:

  • Discover why two-thirds of depression is actually developmental spiritual hunger, not a medical condition requiring only medication
  • Transform your relationship with pain by understanding the three circuits of an awakened brain: feeling loved and held, receiving divine guidance, and experiencing oneness
  • Practice the "Hosting Council" exercise to connect with your spiritual mentors and receive wisdom from your higher self and higher power
  • Break free from the prison of ego by shifting from "What do I want and how do I get it?" to "What is life showing me now?"
  • Recognize synchronicities as divine guidance by paying attention to the high-pixel hits that carry information yet to unfold in your future
