What do you say when someone asks, “What do you do?” For years, Terry had an easy answer: English teacher. When she stepped away from the classroom, she discovered how much of her identity had been resting on that one title.
In this episode, Haydn and Terry explore what happens when our happiness, safety, and sense of self depend on things outside of us, and how to build an inner center that holds steady no matter what is happening in the world, including the day after the midterm elections. They talk about perception as projection, where our upsets really come from, and the difference between reacting out of habit and responding from who you truly are.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
Why an identity built on roles and circumstances is always one life shift away from collapse
How perception and projection shape the way you see yourself and others
Three practices for moving to center
Why the best time to practice inner stability is when everything is going well
Wisdom from Sri Aurobindo, The Mother, A Course in Miracles, and Joseph Campbell
