Listen "The Enlightenment Network"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Neurokrish Immersion, Dr Dawson Church, researcher and author at the interface of science and spirituality, along with Dr Ennapadam S Krishnamoorthi, unpacks how effective meditation simultaneously reduces stress and activates what he calls the enlightenment network, four brain circuits for emotion regulation, self-processing, empathy, and attention. He shares evidence from cortisol and immunoglobulin studies, EEG and MRI findings, and a striking meditation study in Alzheimer’s disease. We explore why spiritual intelligence differs from IQ and EQ, how it may be humanity’s next evolutionary step, and why taming the caveman brain is essential for resilience, compassion, and real-world flourishing.
