In this episode, we delve into the work of Ernest Rossi, a significant contributor to the field of hypnosis and a student of Carl Jung and Milton Erickson. Rossi’s book, ‘The 20 Minute Break,’ explores the natural rest-activity cycles of human physiology and consciousness. We discuss how harnessing these cycles can enhance focus and energy levels. The conversation touches on the implications of these cycles on cortisol levels, attention disorders, and the potential negative effects of constant social media use on memory and emotional processing. We also explore practical approaches to tracking personal ultradian rhythms and the importance of consistent sleep patterns.
