Hi Judith! Thank you so much for this 20 min of wisdom, it has really got me thinking :)

In the podcast, you said we should think about our still/quiet place and how that would look like for us. I have asked myself this in a slightly different form before; for me, that was more about 'what would I do for free?'. I.e. what do I like doing so much that I would do it for free. Lucky for me, I never needed to 'think' hard about that, it was an easy answer for me :) Also, once I was doing the thing I would do for free, this concept has simply dawned on me. So, for me, the path was not me asking the question, but other way around.

Anyway, I actually have 2 questions to ask connected to this topic:

1. Is is possible that our 'quite' changes over time?

2. And my 2nd question is - once we know how our 'quiet' looks like, how do we get there?

Thank you and see you Wednesday!

Majda

Thanks so much for sharing! Listened today and the stillness is a cool place that nature and animals can take me to. Especially horses but dogs and cats too and the ocean and the woods. So fascinating that in the present moment there are no systems if we truly be just in the space of that moment. And if we go intentionally to the quiet or the space - I call it 'in between' it is so expansive and so good for the nervous system. In between everything there is nothing. There is so much peace there and oddly a sense of everything that is pure or true or whatever the word is, exists there. When I drop out of that place is when all the trappings or webs of the systems attach again from the inside and the outside. It has been a last 3 years experience of the two spaces being so different. Nice to have the word "systems" put in the awareness. That is huge! Thanks so much Judith!!

Hi Judith! I've finally had a chance to listen to this. It's been starred in my inbox for a month. Thank you so much - it's an excellent reminder. I'm pretty good at stillness, and finding my quiet, but it's been a while since I properly imagined how I might be in the world if I didn't feel constrained by systems. :)
