#242 The Challenges of Being in Survival Mode

In this episode of The Expansive, John Sanei and Erik Kruger dive into the complexities of emotional health, exploring the concept of the 'pain body' as described by Eckhart Tolle. They discuss the challenges of navigating survival mode, the importance of holding space for oneself and others, and why expressing emotions is a crucial part of growth. The conversation then shifts to the themes of wisdom, curiosity, and the paradox of insight—how it can be both a gift and a curse, leading to perfectionism and self-judgment. John and Erik explore the balance between mind and heart, the power of adaptability in a fast-changing world, and the importance of softening towards personal challenges rather than constantly trying to fix them. They also examine how our beliefs shape our perceptions and actions, ultimately influencing how we move through life. Tune in for a thought-provoking discussion on emotional resilience, self-awareness, and the mindset shifts needed to navigate an ever-evolving world.
