About this episode

Examining the interplay between mind and body, neuroscientist Dr. Sarà King and David Nichtern talk trauma, dream-work, and the sense of self.

David and Dr. Sarà traverse these topics:

  • Dr. Sarà’s research on generational trauma and ancestral intelligence
  • The autonomic nervous system and how trauma is stored in the body
  • Fight, Flight, Freeze, Faint, and gauging if a situation is safe or dangerous
  • How contemplative practices can modulate the trauma response
  • What the parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for
  • How we create personal narratives
  • Neuroscience and quantum energy
  • Dr. Sarà’s own journey to liberation from trauma
  • Co-Creating our own reality with the universe
  • Dreams, trips, bardos and beyond
  • Dr. Sarà’s work in creating a map of awareness
  • The relationship between biometrics and story-telling
  • AI, cosmology, and merging biosynthetic beings with human consciousness

“There is this real delicate dance and interplay that’s happening between the mind and the body to construct a sense of self, me, I, at any given moment.” – Dr. Sará King
