What Your Body Knows About God

How We Are Designed to Connect, Serve, and Thrive

De: Rob Moll

Narrado por: Adam Verner

Have you ever had an experience where you felt particularly aware of God? If God is real and we are created in God's image, then it makes sense that our minds and bodies would be designed with the perceptive ability to sense and experience God.

Scientists are now discovering ways that our bodies are designed to connect with God. Research shows that our brain systems are wired to enable us to have spiritual experiences. The spiritual circuits that are used in prayer or worship are also involved in developing compassion for others. Our bodies have actually been created to love God and serve our neighbors.

Award-winning journalist Rob Moll chronicles the fascinating ways in which our brains and bodies interact with God and spiritual realities. He reports on neuroscience findings that show how our brains actually change and adapt when engaged in spiritual practices. We live longer, healthier, happier, and more fulfilling lives when we cultivate the biological spiritual capacity that puts us in touch with God. God has created our bodies to fulfill the Great Commandment; we are hardwired to commune with God and to have compassion and community with other people. Moll explores the neuroscience of prayer, how liturgy helps us worship, why loving God causes us to love others, and how a life of love and service leads to the abundant life for which we were created.

Just as our physical bodies require exercise to stay healthy, so too can spiritual exercises and practices revitalize our awareness of God. Heighten your spiritual senses and discover how you have been designed for physical and spiritual flourishing.

God in my body

I appreciated the connections the author made between neuroscience and practices that promote spiritual growth.

Needed!

This is a wonderful book with great explanations about how God has incorporated into our daily lives, even if you’re atheist or gnostic. And magical ways of how the body just things!

Good, straightforward, true, simple

A good introductory text for one seeking to understand the connection between the metaphysical life and the body. Real-life examples illustrate the author’s perspective, including his own personal and family life. Worth the time to read thoughtfully. Not an “authoritative text” intentionally, I believe.

Wonderful book

This book shared so many wonderful revelations. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Read it for yourself and make your own discoveries. I recommend it.

Enjoyed!

I really enjoy listening to audiobooks while doing house work, yard work or while driving.
