Appearances
people over the age of 75, where they're feeling a little more anxious and painful.
And once a week you go out, a lot of people are walking in the United States and you look for awe, you look for natural awe, right?
You go,
You do your walk at sunset or you go to a stand of trees.
You look for moral beauty.
You may go visit, walk past a park, right, where the kids are playing and all the wonders of play.
So all you have to do if you're looking for awe is build it into your daily routines.
Looking for awe.
Awe walks.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And thousands of them are being led by practitioners of all walks now around the world.
And it's an easy thing to do.
A lot of people find their best exercise in walking and now just make it include a little mystery and wonder.
Yeah.
Well, you know, and it's a little comical that it took a while to realize this in the scientific community, but psychedelics or spirit medicines in indigenous traditions produce these self-transcendent states where the self quiets down and vanishes and dissolves to use Michael's language and opens us up to awe, right?
And now several labs really feel that's the active ingredient of a psychedelic experience is to,
feel a deep sense of reverence and connection to an ecosystem, to feel really moved by the compassion of fellow human beings, to feel music in a different way.
And that's true.
I mean, in those experiences, awe is driving a lot of the benefits you get from psychedelics.
