Dr. Rupert Sheldrake – Science and Spiritual Practices: How
Transformative Experiences Affect Our Bodies, Brains and
Health

Aired Thursday, 5 September 2019, 7:00 PM ET

The effects of spiritual practices are now being investigated
scientifically as never before, and many studies have shown that
religious and spiritual practices generally make people happier and
healthier. In his recent book Science & Spiritual Practices,
Rupert Sheldrake shows how science helps validate seven practices
on which many religions are built, and which are part of our common
human heritage: meditation, gratitude, connecting with nature,
relating to plants, rituals, singing and chanting, and pilgrimage
and holy places.
