The cultural divide in some parts of the world has never been greater, yet simultaneously, we’re in an era of sexual awakening, where “whisper networks” of women discuss Miranda July’s All Fours or Yorgos Lanthimos’ film Poor Things, based on the book by Alasdair Gray. In this rapidly changing landscape, Dr. Andrew Newberg’s new book, Sex, God, and The Brain, takes on some of our most commonly held beliefs on sexuality, religion, and consciousness.
At the same time, Dr. Newberg offers readers actionable advice based on experimental science. Mindfulness practices that integrate sexual and spiritual well-being, strategies for enhancing personal relationships, and methods for achieving greater emotional balance and physical health are all included.
Sex, God, and the Brain argues that our religious and spiritual experiences are directly connected to our sexual being. While others have speculated on a connection between religion and sexuality, Andrew is the first to demonstrate—with groundbreaking brain scan research gained through Orgasmic Meditation (OM) studies—that the underlying biological mechanisms of religious, spiritual, and sexual experiences are identical.
An exquisitely researched inquiry, Dr. Newberg takes us through the history of mating rituals and how they evolved into religion up through the present day. This pioneering work not only explores the intricate connection between sexuality and spirituality but also offers readers practical, science-backed insights for leading happier, healthier lives.
Rooted in experimental science, Sex, God, and the Brain bridges the gap between the spiritual and the scientific. Dr. Newberg's extensive research into the neural mechanisms of sexual ecstasy and spiritual experiences reveals how deeply intertwined these aspects of human life are and how understanding this connection can positively impact our mental and physical health.
Starting with a deep dive into the evolutionary and biological underpinnings of sexual behaviors and their spiritual parallels, Dr. Newberg leads readers to understand how these primal forces have shaped human consciousness and societal structures. He presents compelling evidence from brain imaging studies on practices like OM, showing how sexual arousal and spiritual states activate similar regions of the brain.
