Discover an unexpected truth about human spiritual experience

The spiritual things are very difficult to grasp and explain correctly in a scientific perspective. However, scientists have recently found a link between part of the brain and spiritual experiences.

Historically, there have been many cases where people have a connection with another world but there is no way to explain why they can do so.

Now, scientists have pinpointed a region in the cerebral cortex responsible for handling transcendental moments.

A region in the cerebral cortex is responsible for handling transcendental moments.

The experience or spiritual state is to overcome your normal feeling, to feel connected to the vast external entity, the energy or strength greater than yourself as the soul, god or superman.

Yale neurologist Marc Potenza said: "Spiritual experiences are powerful states and have a profound impact on human life. Understanding the neurological bases of spiritual experience has can help us better understand the ability to recover mental disorders and disorders ".

Spiritual experiences are powerful states and have a profound impact on people's lives.

To identify the brain region of spiritual moments that took place, Potenza's team interviewed 27 healthy young people. They learn about the volunteers' past as well as their spiritual experiences.

Participants are instructed to describe a situation where they feel connected to a higher power or have a spiritual presence. Later, volunteers participated in MRI brain scans to record their neurological activity when hearing another person recount their spiritual experience.

The results show: when remembering my spiritual experience through words, the middle and lower lobe of the participants have a marked increase in activity compared to when they think about things or emotions. normal. Therefore, the researchers confirmed that these brain regions play an important role in dealing with the spiritual experience.

This research has provided new insights into the mental state that occurs within the brain.

Scientists explain that the lower left lobe is related to self-awareness and others. Meanwhile, the middle hill is the brain area responsible for feelings and emotions. This area of ​​the brain is more active, making people's sense and feeling superior to normal, leading to a sense of another world.

This research has provided new insights into the mental state that occurs within the brain. This can be a great starting point for future research on mental health. They also want to expand the scope of research to more people from different cultures.

Scientists say: " Experimental understanding of how spiritual experiences in the brain enable us to integrate spirituality into treatment and prevention in mental health areas." .
