Like so many of us, he leapt from one self-help practice to another, searching for the answer that would solve it all. He learned how we get trapped in our own “stucky story,” fueling perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and addictive cycles. Hedeveloped his groundbreaking work on getting unstuck, using the power of embodiment and deep healing practices. https://andrewdaniel.org/awaken-to-your-true-self/FULL EPISODE LINK HERE!Mayda Poc, Career Strategist & Executive Coach: Next, Meet Mayda Poc, who loves to challenge us with the question, “If I'm not a lawyer, a CEO, a doctor, in finance, a chef, a restauranteur, then who am I?” That's the question that so many of us have asked ourselves—and are terrified of the answer. There is nothing wrong with working hard or being ambitious. But where things unravel is when we focus so much on success, and so much on our careers, that we lose our sense of the whole self. Mayda candidly shares the moment of clarity that led her to leave it all behind, despite having no clear plan, and the wisdom she's gained about success, identity, and truly living. https://maydapoccoaching.comFULL EPISODE LINK HERE!Michael Amster, M.D., Author, Physician: Dr. Michael Amster has the solution–and it takes less than a minute a day. With this practice, the practice of accessing awe (as in wonder), Dr. Amster and his colleague, Jake Eagle, found an easy, and remarkably simple, scientifically-proven practice to overcome burnout and anxiety, ease chronic pain, find clarity and purpose–and a sense of calm and acceptance with what is, all the while savoring what is–in less than a minute a day. They call it the Power of Awe, which they published in book form available now, with science, observations, history, and daily practices.https://thepowerofawe.com/book/FULL EPISODE LINK HERE!Sarasvati Karahan, Yin & Hatha Yoga TeacherWhat if slowing down was the key to deep healing? Yoga teacher Sarasvati Karahan shares how Yin Yoga—once something she resisted—became a powerful tool for treating sleep disorders, mental health, addiction, and more. In the full episode, we dive into the science and art of this practice, exploring its martial arts roots, modern neuroscience, and its surprising benefits for even the most restless among us.

Dr. Michael Amster | Mindfulness Researcher | Author | Interventional Pain Management Specialist Intro: When was the last time you felt a true sense of awe? Perhaps it was while gazing at a breathtaking landscape, watching a mesmerizing sunset, or savoring a moment of pure wonder. These extraordinary scenes often inspire awe, yet as our guest, Dr. Michael Amster, co-author of The Power of Awe, explains, awe isn't limited to grand spectacles or rare events. It's something we can experience every day—in the warmth of sunlight, a kind gesture, or even the intricate details of a simple leaf. And during this podcast, Dr. Amster discusses how awe is accessible to us all and can have dramatically powerful, positive impacts on our lives. These moments of everyday awe do more than create beautiful memories; they have a profound impact on our mindset, especially when it comes to money. When we allow ourselves to experience awe, we see how "rich" life can be in the truest sense. We begin to rely less on external “things” to make us happy, knowing that they often bring only fleeting satisfaction. Instead, awe-inspired moments lead us to find fulfillment in experiences, connections, and simple joys. In this way, awe shifts us from seeking happiness through material accumulation to cultivating a lasting sense of inner wealth. BIO: Michael Amster, MD, is a physician and awe researcher, writer, and teacher at the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center. With twenty years as a pain management specialist, he is currently the founding director of the pain management department at Santa Cruz Community Health. A practitioner of meditation for over thirty years, he is also a certified yoga and meditation teacher. He splits his time between clinical work, research on awe, teaching mindfulness, and leading awe-inspiring retreats around the world. Highlights: Practicing awe can lead to a more fulfilling life. Awe connects us to our intuition and self. Experiencing awe can slow us down and enhance our presence. Awe can be found in ordinary moments, not just extraordinary ones. The AWE method is a simple practice to cultivate awe. Awe has significant psychological and social benefits. Awe can expand our identity beyond material possessions. Experiencing awe can change our perception of time. Awe is contagious and can inspire generosity in others. Links: The Power of Awe Book: CLICK HERE Dr. Michael Amster LinkedIn: CLICK HERE

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 6-27-2024. Dr. Dawn interviews Dr. Michael Amster, a physician and researcher specializing in pain management and mindfulness practices. Dr. Amster introduces the AWE method, a technique for "micro-dosing" mindfulness developed during his own experience with burnout. The AWE method involves finding moments of awe in everyday experiences through three steps: Attention, Wait, and Exhale/Expand. Research on the AWE method during the COVID-19 pandemic showed significant reductions in depression, anxiety, and loneliness among participants. Dr. Amster explains the physiological benefits of experiencing awe, including lowered inflammation in the body. The emotion of awe is discussed as a way to connect people to something greater than themselves, leading to increased generosity, compassion, and open-mindedness. Dr. Amster shares personal stories of how the AWE practice has impacted people's lives, including applications in chronic pain management and cancer treatment support. The interview concludes with a passage from Dr. Amster's book "The Power of Awe" and a guided AWE practice for listeners.

The truth is, we're always surrounded by nature's magic. At any moment, we could experience wonder and awe, but most of us get so caught up in our lives that we don't even acknowledge the moment.

They call it The Power of Awe, which handily, and helpfully, was recently published and available as a remarkably accessible book, with science, observations, history, and practices.When Dr. Amster is not blazing the trail for new mindfulness practices and conducting scientific studies that back their effectiveness, he's a pain management specialist, leads meditation practices, and engages in the power of awe every day.In this interview, we dig deep into the Power of Awe, its benefits, and how you just might tap into what is arguably the most powerful tool we can tap not only to ease this daily practice of being human, but to learn to experience life as it truly is, full of wonder.Find out more about Dr. Michael Amster, his colleague Jake Eagle,  & The Power of AweWebsite with Book & Practices: https://thepowerofawe.com/book/LinkedIn: Michael Amster MD - Principal Investigator Awe Research ... - LinkedInLinkedIn: Jake Eagle on LinkedIn: Introduction to The Power of AweInsta: https://www.instagram.com/thepowerofawebook/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088073915335TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thepowerofaweEmail: michael@michaelamstermd.comFind out more about Melissa and The Fully Mindful:Coaching with Melissa–Book a free, no-strings attached call to find out how embodied coaching can help you uncover your worth, discover who and where you want to be, and catapult you into your purpose:Book a Free 20 Minute Call with Melissa Check Out the Fully Mindful Website, with Prior Episodes of TFM, including free mindfulness practices

For those who suffer from chronic pain, depression, or burn-out many physicians turn to pharmaceuticals as treatment. While pharmaceuticals may offer the temporary relief of symptoms, most have unpleasant side effects and never treat the root cause of an illness. Researchers are discovering that mindfulness and meditation practices are important factors in improving physical and mental health for complete wellness. To explore the awe-mazing possibilities of new treatment methods, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with author, physician, and awe researcher, Michael Amster about the benefits of micro-dosing mindfulness. Michael's book, The Power of AWE: Overcoming Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose — In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day , contains a quick and easy method for tapping into awe. Michael shares his research on the impact of experiencing awe, and details studies that prove that awe is a prosocial emotion that offers mental and physical benefits to those who practice it. Michael Amster MD — Micro-Dosing Mindfulness: ● The elemental definition of awe. [2:12] ● Michael coined the term Micro-Dosing Mindfulness after a panic attack led him down the path of mindfulness and meditation. [5:14] ● The Power of AWE book includes a 3-step A.W.E. practice and 30 extended practices for experiencing awe daily. [10:38] ● Being in a state of awe offers mental and physical benefits for ourselves and those around us. [15:57] ●In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, the A.W.E. method was proven to decrease depression by 35% in professional healthcare workers. [17:34] ●Michael explains how the A.W.E. method has a profound impact on long-term chronic pain. [19:38] ●Awe connects us to others, makes us feel better, and contributes to the greater good of all life on earth.

What if I told you that there was an exercise that anyone can do in just 15 seconds three times a day that, when researched, showed a decrease depression by as much as 35%, a decrease anxiety by up to 20%, and a substantial decrease physical pain? You might ask about side effects of the exercise, and I would too. It seems that the major side effect is this: a significant increase your quality of life. Would you be interested in knowing more? I know I would and I'm guessing you would too. Since you've seen the title of this episode, you've probably guessed I'm talking about awe. The dictionary describes awe as "a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder." The way I'm describing it now, simply put, is something that makes you say, WOW or WHOA, like, when your breath is taken away after seeing something amazing. And, if you become a practitioner of awe, you can find it in more ordinary things like appreciating the way your body responds to a warm shower, seeing something on TV or YouTube that inspires you, or looking at an image of the human heart recognizing that it supports you through life whether you're awake or asleep. My guest, physician Dr. Michael Amster (https://thepowerofawe.com/about/) co-authored a book with Jake Eagle called The Power of Awe: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose—In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day. I loved the book and I'm not alone. SuperPsyched guest, Dr. Judson Brewer describes it perfectly as “A powerful, practical, science-backed book that shows us how finding awe everywhere, every day is essential to our health and well-being.” So, listen in as Michael and I delve into the Power of Awe and what it can do for you.

This week I sit down with the co-author of "THE POWER OF AWE: Overcome Burnout & Anxiety, Ease Chronic Pain, Find Clarity & Purpose—In Less Than 1 Minute Per Day" Jake Eagle. Jake Eagle co-wrote this book with Michael Amster.  The A.W.E. Method is a five-to fifteen second, three step process that transports you into a heightened state of consciousness and wonderment that creates changes to the mind and body, while improving health and wellness.   Jake and I discuss the research studies that were built around this methodology and how it changed the participants who were frontline health care workers during one of the hardest moments in recent history--the Covid-19 pandemic. Jakes also shares with the audience, how using the A.W.E. method can reduce a persons' experience of loneliness, burnout, and shift consciousness. We also discuss the benefits of healing using the A.W.E method to help our nervous system feel safe, so long term healing and integration can occur.    Jake is a psychotherapist, mindfulness instructor and cofounder of Live Conscious.    Michael is a physician and faulty member at the Touro School of Medicine.      Podcast Production: Written, directed, and edited by Krista Xiomara Produced by LightCasting Original Music by Mr. Pixie Follow this podcast on Instagram @ianwpodcast

On this Zach Amster interview: What it takes to stop writing music you think you should be writing and start writing the music you need to write… how the pandemic changed the band (not what you're thinking), Zach's “secret weapon” on stage, personal struggles offstage, non-music hobbies and interests, most important thing his parents taught him, lots more, a fun hang, why he's so driven, and how this helped himself and the band grow… Cool Guitar, Music & ELG T-Shirts!: http://www.GuitarMerch.com   Zach is the singer, lead guitarist, and primary songwriter in the psychedelic rock band Abrams. He grew up in SoCal with his twin brother, who's a professional drummer in the bands Mondo Generator & Nebula. Zach and bass player Taylor Iversen started Abrams when they met each other in Boulder, CO. The band just released their 4th LP, In The Dark and this is a real “breakout” record. I wanted to support it, and was excited to have Zach on the show to talk about it.
