The Mind is the Final Frontier

The 60's original soundtrack Star Trek describes space as the final frontier. But Dr. Kirk Bingaman says there is another frontier we are only beginning to understand: our inner space. Fordham Conversations host Robin Shannon talks to the Associate Professor at Fordham University’s Graduate School of Religion and Religious Education. Dr. Kirk Bingaman authored "The Power of Neuroplasticity for Pastoral and Spiritual Care." His research has led him to understand how mindful meditation and prayer can help us manage our negative thoughts and actually change the neurological makeup of our brains.
