Awe is like a thread that connects us to something bigger. It connects the extraordinary, the mysteries of life’s essence.Experiences of awe are what psychologists call self-transcendent: they shift our attention away from ourselves, but histoircally, this is what the mystics pointed to. In ancient Greece they called it ekstasis, meaning “to be or stand outside oneself.” Awe dissolves the sense of separation and invites us to stand outside of ourselves in unity with the world around us.In this episode, we explore the experiences of awe, its significance, and practical ways to cultivate it in your daily life - along with some examples thanks to the wisdom of Dr. Jane Goodall. ---If you have any questions, comments, or thoughts related to today's topic, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
