If you’ve ever wanted to rise
and heal to a level beyond what you ever thought possible or
thought you needed, then do we have the Blue Mind resilience show
for you.
Today I’ll be talking with a
dear friend and hero, the true keeper of the sea, Dr. Wallace J.
Nichols, a visionary, entrepreneurial scientist, renowned marine
biologist, voracious earth and idea explorer, wild water advocate,
and the best-selling author of one my favorite must-read books and
documentaries, “Blue Mind”
Today I want to talk with him
about a topic that is near and dear to both of our hearts, rising
from the ashes, what it means, how we do it, and why it’s most
important to have a mission now more than ever.
Key Points Discussed:
- Losing his home in a wild fire right after his
daughter left for college and the letter he wrote her about it that
went viral (06:17)
- Building a mighty home where every single thing
was meaningful and thoughtful (11:45)
- The
stunning and humbling experience of losing all of his material
accumulations over his lifetime (16:33)
- Rediscovering his home in a new format and the
idea of writing to the spirit of his home and doing some more
journaling (19:45)
- The
beautiful, unusual, and unexpected storm in California that they
were inadequately prepared for (27:31)
- The
epitome of resilient beings that is red wood trees
(31:07)
- Learning from the cleansing and destructive
aspect of fire and how it differentiates from learning from water
(35:12)
- Being
an activated Pine seed sitting on top of a deep Manzanita root
(42:01)
- Understanding the dynamic of the fire, earth,
water connection (48:55)
- How
he is more clear now on his short and long term mission for healing
the water and land (52:06)
- Have
you spent time in the water yet and what does it mean to you?
(54:47)
- The
deep response that all living beings have to “Water or lack of
water” (58:29)
- The
importance of honoring urgency and recognizing the stress and
anxiety it causes (1:01:20)
- What
does breath and resilience mean to you? (1:04:48)
- The
meaning of the Phoenix rising from the ashes (1:09:39)
- Recognizing when it’s time to get out instead
of lingering and losing (1:16:14)
