What if I told you that you were living in an illusion? Today we question the nature of reality with Dr. Srikumar Rao, author of Modern Wisdom, Ancient Roots; he is a groundbreaking business coach and speaker who taps into ancient concepts that are still relevant to post-industrial society. This timeless wisdom will wake you from the illusion of dissatisfaction and desire. In this episode, Dr. Rao shares three powerful ideas that will shift your perception of reality and help unlock your capacity for joy. Happiness does not depend on anything; Dr.Rao points out that the idea that your joy hinges on your accomplishments is the illusion of want. You are chasing a feeling that you think will set you free, but the bigger house, the better job, and more money are not what will bring you joy because you can tap into eternal bliss under any conditions.He explains the Hindu concept of Ānanda, the state of being which allows you to let go of your earthly attachments and achieve eternal bliss. Ānanda is your natural state of being because the universe is benevolent, and everything you experience is neither good nor bad, so you do not need to chase anything. Everything in your life is as it should be and isdesigned specifically for your growth and fulfillment.

She explains how the average CEO, has some form of neurodivergence that allows them to tap into a level of intuition that the average person resists. If you are curious about intuition and want to shift your perception of data, reality, and human potential, join us for one of our most interesting conversations yet. Key Takeaways:[3:50] What is intuition?[5:00] Laura’s introduction to perception[8:00] Your pathology can be your potential[11:40] The gift of non-local attention[13:25] The importance of precision[16:30] The symptom dialogue [18:00] Business intuitive consultations[25:00] Defining your intuitive senses[28:00] Ethical practices [32:00] The framework of The Circle[36:00] Living out your goals [38:00] Intuition versus impulsivity  Where to Find Our Guest:LauraDay.comInstagram Facebook  Memorable Quotes:“That ability that doesn’t allow you to chitchat appropriately at a dinner party does allow you to dispassionately observe a situation, to move it around in space and time, to experience other people’s perspectives, but as data, not as emotion the way an empath does, as data.” [9:05] -Laura Day“It is important to be precise, it is important to be literal, not that the rest isn’t beautiful, imagery, and art and all of that is beautiful, but the literal world, that creates a profit, that creates jobs, that creates a function, that creates new medicines, that precise data-driven world when it has a positive goal, is an art of its own.
