The divide between pain and pleasure, escape and presence, runs through the core of human experience. In this riveting conversation with Amrit Singh Reinsch, we venture beyond conventional thinking about consciousness and healing to discover what happens when we stop running from discomfort.
Amrit's extraordinary journey took him from Germany's regimented structure to two decades in India, where meditation and yoga became his pathway to experiencing the profound internal highs our bodies naturally create. "It's a fascinating subject," he explains, comparing these states to the runner's high many already know. "Your human body can do this."
The most compelling aspects of our discussion center around intention versus escapism. While many use substances or activities to numb pain, Emerick describes his recent therapeutic psychedelic experience as transformative precisely because it wasn't about avoiding reality but seeing it more clearly. "It's not about going high... it's about having the experience and then taking that with you into our human experience."
What emerges is a radical reframing of life's challenges. Rather than obstacles to happiness, difficult emotions become doorways to freedom when we face them directly. This applies not only to our inner work but also to parenting, where witnessing our children's pain without immediately trying to fix it becomes one of the most challenging and necessary forms of love.
"Have fun," Amrit reminds us in closing. "It's all just one big game." This isn't dismissive but profoundly liberating – an invitation to approach life with curiosity instead of control. By embracing both the light and shadow aspects of being human, we discover a wholeness that transforms how we experience everything.
