In this episode, the host Jeffrey Besecker delves into the topic of pain and suffering and how they contribute to personal growth. It challenges the belief that growth can only occur through pain and discomfort, suggesting that growth can also happen in states free of suffering. The guest, John Eli Garay, shares insights on how to navigate the complexities of the autonomic nervous system and achieve emotional self-regulation. John offers guidance on understanding and navigating the autonomic ladder, emphasizing the importance of self-regulation and embracing security. He explains how our bodies store information from past experiences and how the autonomic nervous system helps us identify sources of safety or danger. The episode explores the role of emotional self-regulation and finding a balance of homeostasis where our inner light can shine.
