On our spiritual journeys, it’s likely we’ve had moments of awe that take our breath away and open our mind. Awe and wonder encounters can be life-changing and even lifesaving. Perhaps our awe-inspiring experience was a message in a dream, or a sense of oneness during a sunset, a blue heron flying overhead, or a song that gave us chills—awakening us spiritually.
Author, bereaved person, rehabilitation consultant, and Psychology Today blogger Val Walker shares healing stories from trauma and grief survivors who’ve been transformed by encounters with awe and wonder. She also reports on recent neuroscience research that shows how experiences of awe and wonder restore our outlook and wellbeing—and strengthen our spiritual awareness.
