The Neurobiology of Wholeness | Free Radical Podcast #63 | Shaleen Kendrick 2/4/26

In this episode of the Free Radical Podcast, Swami Padmanabha is joined by Reverend Dr. Shaleen Kendrick—a mystic scholar, theologian, and minister to human evolution—whose work bridges ancient spiritual wisdom and contemporary neuroscience.

Dr. Kendrick is the creator of the Neuro-Relational Integration (NRI) model, a framework for wholeness-making through mind-body-spirit integration. Drawing from neuro-theology, neuroscience, and lived spiritual practice, she explores how integration across our neural centers—mind (IQ), body (SQ), and spirit (RQ)—can transform reactive patterns into responsive wisdom and support conscious human evolution.

Together, Swami Padmanabha and Dr. Kendrick engage in a rich, wide-ranging conversation touching on:

* The neurobiology of wholeness and shame
* Jesus through a neuro-spiritual lens
* Evolution as an ongoing spiritual process
* What it means to be human in an age of technology and AI
* Salvation as a lived, relational journey rather than a fixed endpoint

This episode invites listeners to move from fragmentation to coherence, from survival to flourishing.
