IntraConnected: Discovering MWe (Me + We)

"We may have a mental understanding that all of life is one inseparable whole, yet how do we actually feel into this reality? And how do we relate to others and the world from this felt awareness? Dr. Daniel J. Siegel is a visionary creative thinker, professor, and founder of the field of interpersonal neurobiology. In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with Dr. Siegel about his book IntraConnected: MWe (Me + We) as the Integration of Self, Identity, and Belonging. They explore the direct experience of being the whole of life; interconnection versus intraconnection; honoring the inner, the inter, and the intra; E. O. Wilson's concept of consilience; the promotion of linkages as the basis of well-being; quantum physics and the study of energy; the Wheel of Awareness practice; the three-pillar practice of focused attention, opening awareness, and building kind intention; the power of wandering and relaxing the flimsy fantasy of certainty; our survival instincts and the investment in being separate; how mindfulness practice interrupts the anticipatory brain and brings us back to presence; the multiple pandemics of our time, and the lie that our identity is only in the solo self; how the tapestry of reality is of love and connection; seeing yourself as a verb instead of a noun; pervasive leadership, and how were all called to assist in the Great Turning; and more."
