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.

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.

Michael Amster joins me to tell his story of the discovery of A.W.E. In May of 2020, at the height of the pandemic, two trial groups embarked on a study through UC Berkeley to test a new method for "micro-dosing-mindfulness." One group was comprised of frontline wrokers; and the other consisted of patients at a local medical center, as well as their family and friends who wished to participate. Almost immediately both groups reported significant improvement in symptoms of stress, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain.  Michael tells us his story and how we can put the practice of A.W.E, short for; Wait, Exhale and Expand into a daily practice.

(Amster)dam, what an episode!

We will learn: What it really means to be in awe and why this topic has garnered so much attention lately The science around the 3 types of awe A powerful method to help us enter into a state of awe at will When was the last time you felt awe? Think back to a moment when you were completely blown away by something - maybe it was the sight of a stunning sunset or the feeling of standing at the top of a mountain. 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. But here's the thing: experiencing awe actually has a whole lot of benefits, like increasing your creativity and your sense of connection to others. It even has the power to transform a society. So how do we open ourselves up to experiencing awe every day, even every hour? That's what we're talking about today. Our guest is Michael Amster. He is a physician, researcher, writer, and teacher on the emotion of awe. He is the co-author of “The Power of Awe,” and studies the emotion of awe at the Greater Good Science Center at UC Berkeley and at UC Davis School of Medicine, Department of Cardiology.

For those who suffer from chronic pain, depression, or burn-out many physicians turn to pharmaceuticals as treatment.

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
