Brain Plasticity, Psychedelics, and Christian Practices
Brain plasticity is likened to building a muscle, where thoughts and ways of thinking become strengthened in the brain tissue. For individuals with post-traumatic stress disorder, psychedelics can help in allowing a part of the brain responding to trauma to atrophy, while activating a new healthier part. The focus should be on the therapeutic effects rather than religious labels, as adding 'Christian' before practices like yoga does not change the essence of the practice.
