Rupert illustrates how science helps validate seven particular practices which underpin all major world religions. Meditation Gratitude Connecting with nature Relating to plants Rituals Singing and chanting Pilgrimage and holy places. Rupert summarizes the latest scientific research on what happens when we take part in these practices, and suggests ways that readers can explore these fields for themselves. For those who are religious, Science and Spiritual Practices will illuminate the evolutionary origins of their own traditions and give a new appreciation of their power. For the non-religious, this book will show how the core practices of spirituality are accessible to all, without the need to subscribe to a religious belief system. This is a book for anyone who suspects that in the drive towards radical secularism, something valuable has been left behind.
