“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits” (Psalm 103:2).
It’s a long story, but to condense a bit: I had been reading The Deepest Place, by Kurt Thompson, a Christian neuroscientist.
As the title indicates, the author goes deep, down into the place(s) where we have suffered the greatest emotional injury and trauma and where we are still “stuck” in the grip of unhealthy neural pathways that have become hardened.
As I came toward the end, I began asking God to heal the wounds that had, it seemed, prevented me from praising and loving God with all my heart, and had made me a person without much passion for him and his kingdom and without that “fervent love” for his people that God asks of us (1 Peter 1:22).
In Taipei, on Easter Sunday, I went to church with close friends. I can’t go into details, but during the service God met me in a fresh way. His Spirit moved me to weep uncontrollably for a long time, during which I thought I heard the Lord say, “I am washing away your sorrows.” After that, the Spirit enabled me to praise God with all my heart, soul, and strength as we sang Kari Jobe’s “resurrection Song.”(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-Gxjtd6Wp4
The next day, I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from my heart.
I began receiving Micro Current Neurofeedback therapy a few months ago. During the therapy, a TV monitor shows your brain waves responding to the electrical stimuli. At first, my left and right brains were greatly out of sync. Later, there was substantial improvement, but a large gap remained.
After I came back from Taiwan, I was eager to see whether God’s work on Easter Sunday had had any effects on my brain. Both my therapist and I stared in wonder as the screen indicated that the two sides of my brain were in almost total harmony. “I’ve never seen anything like this!” She exclaimed.
Since then, I have been less anxious, more positive, and more resilient. A picture of my brain waves in early September confirmed the results of the one in June, showing that what God did in me on Easter Sunday in Taipei has had a lasting effect.
To him be the glory!
