Self-Actualization vs. Self-Transcendence

March 01, 2022 • Season 2 • Episode 11

Tait and Jenny discuss the difference between self-actualization and self-transcendence, along with the connections they have. Tait explains what it physically feels like for her when she feels a sense of self-transcendence. How does wonder and awe factor in to it? Can you experience it immediately? Jenny explains a small part of what's happening in the brain when we experience it.

Is sitting quietly meditating? Not really. They explain what the difference in brain states. They also cover the "soft addiction" that can happen with meditation. When does it become navel gazing? They talk about Rebel Human curriculum and how it trains you in resilience, equanimity, and transcendence simultaneously so students can bring their different brain states out into the world.

Jenny shares how much practicing it took for her to do a large portion of her healing. Tait talks about "putting in the work" and how life isn't fair.
