Faark The Shoulds (& Alchemising Education)

Be Like Water, My Friend


Listen Later

"Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend."
Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee's powerful words, like the proverbial "whisper" have morphed over the years to be a slightly bastardised but more succinct phrase of "Be Like Water, My Friend" which is voiced, often, in the Quanti-household. 

Water, life giving, life saving, immersive, corrective and restorative, features a great deal in QuantiMama Jodi and QuantiPapa McGill's lives and is often credited as being one of their life's natural anxiolytics. 

How does water feature in your world? 
Do you feel the nurturing and rebalancing effects? 
What are the ways you integrate  connection with nature? 

From the philosophical parallels of "being like water" to the practicalities of connecting with water, join Jodi and McGill for this chat (that initially identified as Episode 12 but, like water, flowed into Episode 13) on ways their connection with water has impacted their daily living, life-changing moments and the 'ripple' effect of these big and small experiences.
