And then that begs this question of like, well, what is going on with awe that helps me?

One is it changes your physiology or your body.

It just makes you more relaxed in terms of your cardiovascular system.

Your brain has different patterns of firing that make you less defensive and self-focused.

One is the body.

A second is the sense of self.

It really shifts you away from being self-critical, which is so epidemic today.

to being open to the world and not caring as much about yourself, right?

Just like freed from the nagging voice of yourself.

Another thing is just your sociality.

And this is really striking, which is you can go have an awe experience in nature by yourself and you come back and you feel connected, right?

And that's important.

So you put those three things together and it's good news, right?

Your body's different.

Your sense of self is different.

Your sense of relationality is different.

And that's why I think awe is making its way into therapy.

It's making its way into meditation.

It'll be making its way into medicine, you know, and dealing with the heart problems.
