Dr. Tara Swart

Now, my mentor, I'm still good friends with him, knew me very well. And so he wasn't projecting his entrepreneurial thing. He was seeing something that I couldn't. But a lot of the times there's society like, oh, let's live in hustle culture. Everyone needs to be an entrepreneur. Everyone needs to be a CEO. There's a lot of performance culture out there and productivity culture.

And I find that a lot of people either struggle with that weight of that expectation or they actually curl up into a ball and kind of don't want to go anywhere and do anything. And it makes them hide from that as well, because it's almost like everyone's just pushing them to be more ambitious and be more driven. At the same time,

I would love to understand the psychology of being needing to open up to more challenges and more opportunities is just a healthy way of living. So if someone's stuck in that space of, you know, Tara and Jay, I'm just, you know, I'm kind of stuck because I do want more. I'm trying to get there that I believe I deserve it.

But then I don't know if that's what I really want or if it's what my parents want or what social media wants me to want or what my friends are doing.

When you talked about spending time in nature, you talked about chanting, you talked about humming, you talked about the art class, the kind of more analog tasks as well. What do those tasks have in common from what's happening scientifically inside of us, like biologically, like chemically, what's happening that's similar across those or is it different?

And would the brain ever allow for more? Or is it just so against survival that we couldn't experience it here?

Yeah, for sure. Yeah, I mean, I feel like, as you referred to earlier, meditation has been such a powerful form of reaching altered states of consciousness and breath work you referred to, nature for sure. I mean, I've had the fortune of spending some time in some special, special places, both in India and just this year I got to go to Bhutan as well.

Yeah. Like places I went to in South India, I definitely felt that because some of these temples are like thousands and thousands of years old. And they were built with that. I mean, they're built with that kind of like Vedic mathematics and just the way they're, the architecture and everything, kind of how we marvel at the pyramids.
