Spiritual experiences often feel undeniable—deep presence, intuition, sudden knowing, emotional release. But many people quietly wonder: Is this real… or is my brain just making it up?

In this episode of The Luminous Commons, Beckah explores the science of spirituality with honesty and grounding. We talk about what neuroscience can explain about spiritual experiences—and where science stops short. You’ll learn how the brain and nervous system participate in awakening states without invalidating them, why questioning your experiences doesn’t make you less spiritual, and how grounding creates clearer intuition rather than dulling it.

This episode is for anyone navigating spiritual awakening, intuition, meditation, or nervous system healing who wants clarity without dismissing the mystery—or losing their sense of self.

Inside this episode: • Why spiritual experiences feel so real • What neuroscience actually says about awakening states • The difference between intuition, trauma responses, and meaning-making • Why grounding strengthens spiritual clarity • How to trust your experiences without outsourcing your authority

If you’ve ever asked, “Is this intuition or just my brain?”—this conversation is for you.
