A Taoist lens on uncertainty - Navigating paradox, presence, and healing.

In this 152nd episode, I speak with Prashanthi Amarnath about how Taoist principles can help reshape our relationship to uncertainty, fear, decision‑making, and our emotional life.

We discuss how uncertainty affects physiology and the nervous system. The conversation explores why the mind resists paradox and how cultivating perceptual flexibility — the “non‑fixed mind” Lao Tzu describes — expands relational attunement and emotional plasticity.

We discuss the concept of "wu wei" as an inner posture of effortless responsiveness rather than passivity, and discuss how embracing paradox can free decision‑making.

We discuss these things and much more! Tune in for a lovely conversation.
