Your Brain Is Wired for Spiritual Connection | Dr. Lisa Miller

My conversation with renowned psychologist Dr. Lisa Miller takes us deep into the fascinating intersection of spirituality and neuroscience. As a pioneer in the field and professor at Columbia University, Dr. Miller shares groundbreaking research on how our brains are actually wired for spiritual connection. Through powerful personal stories, including her own journey through infertility and adoption, she reveals how depression often serves as a spiritual wake-up call rather than just a medical condition. We explore the science behind synchronicities, the power of choosing love even in difficult times, and how developing our "awakened brain" can transform our lives. Whether you're struggling with mental health, searching for deeper meaning, or simply curious about the science behind spirituality, this episode offers profound insights on connecting with something greater than ourselves.Dr. Lisa Miller's websiteDr. Lisa Miller on InstagramIn this episode you will learn:Why depression is often a developmental gateway to spiritual awakening rather than just a medical conditionHow our brains are physically wired for spiritual connection through three distinct neural networksThe scientific evidence showing that spirituality significantly reduces depression, addiction and suicide riskWhy synchronicities aren't random coincidences but guidance markers on our spiritual pathHow releasing ego control and embracing life's "yellow doors" leads to unexpected blessingsFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1708For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960More SOG episodes we think you’ll love:David Ghiyam – greatness.lnk.to/1692SCDr. James R.
