  • Hey, it's your friend Mel.

  • And welcome to the Mel Robbins Podcast.

  • You know, I've always thought that neuroscience and spirituality are two totally different topics.

  • But what if the two were actually deeply connected?

  • And what if science and brain scans could prove this connection?

  • Well, today's guest, Dr.

  • Andrew Newberg, is a neuroscientist and medical doctor who has spent decades studying how your brain processes spiritual and religious experiences.

  • Dr.

  • Newberg is the first neuroscientist to demonstrate, with groundbreaking brain scan research, the underlying biological mechanism of spiritual experiences on your brain and body.

  • In this episode, you're going to learn how spiritual and religious practices and simple daily actions that you may not even think are spiritual but they are, can rewire your brain for more joy, connection, clarity and purpose.

  • No matter what you believe or whether you consider yourself religious, spiritual or an atheist, this is a fascinating conversation at the intersection of neuroscience and human spirit and what you may believe or not, this mind blowing science will change the way you see the power of your brain and spiritual practices as a way to awaken it One thing about living in Southern Vermont is that it is dark by dinnertime.

  • In fact, it's dark at 4:30pm which means I'm all about finding some calm.

  • One of the great things to do to wrap up your day?

  • Yoga, evening meditations.

  • And I love that.

  • No matter what season of life you're in, whether you're in your holiday era, your wellness era, your running era, or it is dark at 4:30pm ERA, Peloton has the classes, community and motivation to help you stay on track.

  • You can pop into a yoga class to stretch and breathe or dive into a bar or Pilates session to feel strong and centered.

  • Some days all I need is a 10 minute meditation to help me wind down.

  • Other days I need a longer class to help me reset my focus and boost my mood.

  • With Peloton's All Access membership, it's all right there.
