What's really going on in your brain during mystical experiences? Turns out, it's a fascinating cocktail of neurochemistry and consciousness shifts that science is just beginning to unpack.
When you feel that profound sense of oneness or transcendence, your brain's default mode network—the part that keeps your sense of self intact—temporarily quiets down. This allows boundaries between you and the world to blur, opening the door to those 'wow' moments.
But it's not just brain scans and neurons. These experiences tap into something deeper—our sense of meaning, connection, and awe.
Curious how science and spirit dance together in these moments? Explore our latest episode where we unpack the neuroscience behind the mystical, with a sprinkle of humor and a lot of heart.
