Neurotheology is a study of neuroscience and spirituality. It focuses on how spiritual experiences, revelations, and epiphanies affect our neurological system.
Although shamanism has been practicing this for thousands of years, shamanism is more focused on the spirituality aspect - healing and having these experiences, rather than doing actual neuroscientific studies to prove it's positivity, and capability to help many people.

"While the term neurotheology is new, the basic ideas have been around for thousands of years" says Dr. Michael Winkelman, Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University. "Many cultures have developed technologies for altering consciousness and inducing spiritual experiences." Winkelman describes shamanism- an ancient healing practice- within the context of neurotheology.

Get the Neurotheology mug.A vicious device that makes even the strongest nursing student tremble in fear. This paddle is given every semester to nursing students that involves grinding, tearing, mashing, and ripping the nursing students rectum. The paddle consists of many small serrated edged spikes with several larger spikes more towards the center. These spikes are poison tipped and will cause extreme inflammation and pain for several days to several weeks. In addition to these spikes, in the center of the paddle, there is a large dildo 18 inches long and 3 inches wide. This dildo spins out 90 degrees in a circular motion upon penetration when making contact with the inside of the rectum. The dildo also has box jellyfish tentacles on the head of the dildo that add to insult and injury. Prospecting nursing students may obtain severe psychological disturbances after receiving a neuman in nursing school.
The nursing student was assigned the neuman paddle and went to see a therapist and started taking medications shortly after.
