beyond the sky & down to earth

In this episode, I continue to explore my experience of quitting routine and my recent realisation that my obsession with rituals are a bandaid to underlying anxieties.

I talk about my relationship with routine, the reasons I stay & my recent decision to quit my morning routine (despite finding nothing online that supports this decision). I mull over my seeming addiction to forming habits & consider how to differentiate between OCD and intuition.

I talk about a realisation that I'm either living out of fear-based ego values, or out of essential, core values. I speak to the opportunity that this choice offers, the capacity to live either homesick or in alignment with who I am, at home in myself, in reality.

You're welcome to take the second half of the recording to consider how these values emanate in your own life. The music will play, but there are no more words.

In this episode I share my sense of being in a womb, a cocoon, a space of surrender, rest and re-birth. I talk about realisation of a deeper intent: strength and groundedness. I explore all this in a poem.

Reading from Eckhart Tolle's 'A New Earth' and making a list about the things I think the world is withholding from me that I can start bringing to the world.

First I talk about how we emphasise fixing our weaknesses to alleviate a sense of inward deficiency rather than improving our strengths for the greater potential of the whole world.

With a bit of hesitation, I talk about my relationship with sadness and the joy that I'm missing. I consider that sadness and joy aren't dualistic, opposing terms but that if sadness is welcomed, joy won't be constricted underneath.

I also consider an invitation to shift my posture in a way that leads from hibernation to looking outward, alongside a short poem about how our humanity is best expressed in when our individuality moves toward unity.

In this episode I explore what it's like to experience change within a relationship and the consequent opportunity that can arise for your own growth and development.

I examine the impact of low-self worth in my life, where it comes from, and chart a path toward owning myself in a way that liberates me to live in the ever-changing flow of life.

No music because I tried a new platform and it didn't let me upload any music. Won't do that again.

In this episode, I examine my grip on control and my tendency to compare as energy-suckers that keep me from thriving. I consider the possibility that compassion is a bridge to evolution and that maybe there's no such thing as 'worthlessness' at all.

In this episode, I consider the possibility that 'props' are not a signal of incapability. Rather, they can enable us to grow stronger, move deeper and develop spaciousness in ourselves and in the world. I lean into the revelatory possibility that opening up and reaching out for support could actually be a propelling force necessary for evolution.

My tone is more caffeinated than meditative today, but I really like where I went with this. It was enlightening for me to realise that I hide myself so as not to lose my secret identity as someone significant.
