Episode notes
INSIGHT

You See Reality Through Your Brain

  • You experience your brain's constructed version of reality rather than objective reality.
  • Emily McDonald explains the black box analogy: senses feed the brain which filters input through beliefs, state, identity and wiring to build experience.
INSIGHT

Nervous System Filters For Threat Or Opportunity

  • Your entire nervous system (brain, enteric and peripheral systems) shapes emotion and thus filters reality for threats or opportunities.
  • When dysregulated she shows the brain scans for problems; when regulated it scans for possibilities and small joys.
ADVICE

Regulate Your Nervous System First

  • Regulate your nervous system to tune to abundance and make better choices.
  • Start slow: accept yourself, practise self-love, slow your pace and use somatic tools; Emily links a longer video with practical techniques.
