Episode #65: Turning Fears Into Bliss featuring Akshay Nanavati
“The most important skill to master in life is to develop that positive relationship with fear and suffering at a meta level.”
Akshay Nanavati
As uneasy and nerve racking as they may be feelings of fear, stress and anxiety are all normal aspects of the human existence. These uneasy and oftentimes uncomfortable experiences often get a bad rap because they’re perceived as a negative or bad thing when they surface. However, at the end of the day these feelings are completely normal and in some cases to be expected.
A key point that's often overlooked is when these feelings are properly harnessed, they can serve as an incredible source of strength and motivation to overcome virtually any situation. They can keep us alert and aware of our surroundings and ultimately can be the factors to help us accomplish our goals, dreams and wishes.
To take our fears and positively turn them into feelings of bliss is to live the way of Fearvana as described by speaker and author, Akshay Nanavati.
After serving during the Iraq War, Akshay returned home and found himself suffering from addiction, post-traumatic stress, survivor’s guilt, depression, and alcoholism. On the brink of suicide, Akshay discovered a unique way to find gifts in what most of us view as “negative” emotions—such as fear, stress, and anxiety—so that they would no longer hold him back. In fact, these emotions became fuel to help him achieve his greatest goals, including running across 8 countries.
“So the fundamental essence of everything I do with Fearvana, from the book to the movement of the business or the brand around it, is to help people develop positive relationship to not just fear but to suffering and struggle and pain of any kind, and to fall in love with it and use it as an access point to bliss.”
Fearvana is about helping people turn their fears turn their struggles, into bliss, and even enlightenment.
Akshay’s book, Fearvana, is an actionable guide that will teach people's how to transform fear and struggle into boundless bliss and even enlightenment. Today, he joins the podcast to share his unbelievable story and teach us exactly how he turns what should be debilitating adversities into major successes.
