70: How to Savor Simple Pleasures, Slow Down, and Pause into Presence with Padma Gordon

ALIVE with Jessica Silverman: Heal Your Inner Child + Ancestral Trauma

The words "there is no rush" can be so comforting in a world that constantly diverts your attention away from the present moment. From a trauma-informed perspective, our brains often live in the past which causes depression, or in the future, which causes hypervigilance and constantly living in a state of anxiety.
Neither one engages you in the ONLY state we truly live and feel ALIVE in, which is the present moment.
In a beautiful conversation with Padma Gordon, this episode evokes pure PRESENCE within you, beginning with the deep inner knowing that there is no rush.
When you savor simple pleasures, life slows down. You elongate experiences enough to truly feel them, instead of thinking them away by living in the past or future.
You no longer live in resentment, or hold back what lives inside of you so "what you really want to say" is what comes out, and you live in a true + authentic presence instead of what others desire you to be.
This is the wisdom Padma beautifully embodies in her book, Being Together: Practical Wisdom for Loving Yourself and Your Partner.
