When your inner pilot speaks - how your nervous system carries you or lets you crash

from BREATHE - This Is Life · host Monika Schuster

What if your nervous system were your inner pilot – and you got to decide how well-trained it is? In this episode, I share two moments that brought me into deep stillness today: a quote from actor Jan Josef Liefers about a pilot mid-engine failure – and a line from Veit Lindau about your original tone and the light you carry into the world. This episode is an invitation to pause. To breathe. To come home to yourself.
