So in metaphoric terms, we have this idea of a wheel and in the wheel, there's the center, the hub, and then there's the rim.

And then you have a singular spoke, which is a metaphor for how you direct attention from the awareness in the hub, the knowing to the knowns on the rim.

And there's four segments of the rim.
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
They're all energy flow, but the first segment represents energy from outside the body.
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
You pick it up with your eyes, your ears, your nose, your
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
tongue and your skin, you know, for smell, taste and touch, et cetera.
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
You then go inward on the second segment to the energy flows inside the body.
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
And you experience that systematically.

I walk you through this all from my website.
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
You can do it.

And then then you go to the third segment, which is mental activities like emotions and memories and thoughts and attitudes, longings, beliefs, desires, dreams, that kind of thing.

Those are probably head brain neural firing patterns.

that that's where the energy is coming from if you want to locate it.

And then you move the focus of attention outward again to the relational fields, just like Faraday, Michael Faraday in the 1800s said, hey, I think there's these things called electromagnetic fields.

And people thought he was insane.

Now, like all of our electronics are based on electromagnetic fields that you can't see with your eyes.

So I used to teach with a dear friend named John O'Donohue, who I met just a little bit before I met Jack.
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
And, you know, John was an Irish Catholic priest, a former priest.
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
He was a poet, a philosopher, and an Irish mystic.
We're Out of Time
Dr. Daniel Siegel: Mental Health, Connection & AI | Guest Co-Host Patricia Freebery, LMFT
And when we would teach together, I would say, you know, you're calling our students mystics.
