Avery, Lucy, and Jamie chat about Wise Mind (aka, “Intuition” or “Knowing”) in the fourth episode. We discuss how to tap into one’s inner wisdom through incorporating emotions, thoughts, and the body, rather than over-relying on external sources to make effective decisions. We share stories of our own struggles connecting with Wise Mind and what we have learned to overcome these barriers.

In this episode we discuss:

• Definitions of Wise Mind, Emotion Mind, and Reasonable Mind, as well as providing personal examples of each
• Guiding principles of connecting with Wise Mind
• Barriers to tapping into Wise Mind
• How Wise Mind can be useful to parenting
• Tips for connecting with Wise Mind

Do try this at home:

• Listen to all facets of our direct experience
• Focus on the breath
• Pause between urges/urgency and behaviors
• Stop multi-tasking
• Tune in and ask yourself, “What does my wise mind say about this?”
