Relate how prayer and spiritual experiences may alter the brain.

Answer to Question 1

Values clarification is not a once-in-a-lifetime task, but an ongoing process of sorting out what matters most to you. If you believe in protecting the environment, do you shut off lights or walk rather than drive in order to conserve energy? Do you vote for political candidates who support environmental protection? Do you recycle newspapers, bottles, and cans? Values are more than ideals you would like to attain; they should be reflected in the way you live day by day. Tapping into your values changes the story you tell yourself about stress.

Answer to Question 2

Prayer and other spiritual experiences, including meditation, may actually change the brain-for the better. Using neuroimaging techniques, scientists have documented alterations in various parts of the brain that are associated with stress and anxiety. This effect may slow down the aging process, reduce psychological symptoms, and increase feelings of security, compassion, and love.
