Being with God: The Absurdity, Necessity, and Neurology of Contemplative Prayer Free Audiobook Download by Aj Sherrill

Contemplative prayer is a religious practice that has been practiced by many people of all religions. Aj Sherrill is an American psychotherapist and philosopher who wrote Being with God: The Absurdity, Necessity, and Neurology of Contemplative Prayer as a result of his own personal experiences with contemplative prayer. He discusses the philosophical implications of this type of prayer to the reader.

The author's main point is that the neuroscience of contemplative prayer has been studied and proven to be beneficial. For example, there are different states of mind. A momentary state is referred to as "heightened" and it's a state where the brain works in a more focused manner such as when we concentrate on our breathing, when we play a sport, or when we're deeply involved in an activity. There is also the daydreaming state where the mind gets lost in thoughts. These two states are great for learning and actually increasing our brain power.

Aj Sherrill, a neurologist who has been practicing for over 20 years, explores the intersection of neurology, religion and contemplative prayer. Sherrill was first introduced to mindfulness practices by his father as a teenager and soon became committed to understanding the brain and its relation to wellness. Along with his work in neuroscience, he has also been an ardent practitioner of Buddhist and Christian yoga.

Aj sherrill wrote this book in order to explore the power of spiritual practice.

Sherrill's book is a document of his own journey with God, and he uses neuroscience and psychology to illustrate how contemplative prayer can change our brains.
