Rediscovering Awe: Michael Todd Fink on Mindfulness and Inner Peace

Awe may best be defined as a blurring of the emotional boundaries between admiration and fear.
Ever find yourself using the word 'awesome' a bit too casually? Michael Todd Fink invites you to dive deeper into the true essence of awe in this intriguing episode of Kind Mind. He explores how awe is more than just a fleeting emotion; it's a profound state that blends admiration and fear, stirring both our fight-flight and relaxation responses simultaneously. This unique mix can lead to transformative experiences, making us feel more connected to the world around us.
Fink delves into the latest research, shedding light on how awe affects our brains and perceptions. MRI studies reveal that awe can reduce activity in the parietal lobe, a part of the brain that helps us distinguish ourselves from our surroundings. This reduction can lead to a sense of oneness and self-transcendence. Throughout the episode, Fink discusses how we can harness the power of awe through mindfulness meditation and other contemplative practices.
He touches on the beauty of nature, the importance of trusting our instincts, and even the potential benefits of psychedelics when integrated with mindfulness. By tuning in, you'll gain insights into accessing inner peace and breaking free from the confines of your small, confined self. This episode is perfect for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of awe and mindfulness, and how these concepts can lead to a more balanced and peaceful life.
