Laughter, Limbic Lock, and the Science of Connection: Reflecting on our conversation with Dr. Luman Wing
In this episode of Old Paths, New Steps, hosts Peter, Josh, and Malissa reflect on their enlightening conversation with Dr. Lu Wing about the fascinating intersection of neuroscience, epigenetics, and human connection. They reflect how genuine laughter creates powerful neural bonds (what Dr. Wing calls "limbic lock") and share personal stories of deep connections formed through shared joy and grief. The conversation expands into the importance of inter-generational community, the transformative power of relationships over mere information, and how modern science beautifully affirms ancient wisdom about human flourishing. Join us as we discover how both science and theology point to the same truth: we are wired for connection, and healing happens in community.
