In a recent study, researchers thought their equipment was malfunctioning - monks were showing positive brainwave patterns out of their prefrontal cortex (associated with the experience of positive emotions) that was thirty times as strong as that of a control group.
It appears that positive emotions and the experience of spiritual contact - of getting in touch with that larger than ourselves - are intimately related. When people attend church services, sing hymns, meditate, and engage in other activities, they often feel a surge of positive emotions.
Why wait?
