Restoration and Renewal - a podcast by Carla Royal, Juliet Fay

from 2021-01-19T10:00

Here's what we explored:

  • is the New Year a time for something other than personal goals and resolutions?
  • recognising the gift of presence: to ourselves, our clients, and our losses
  • when we are present, time and space fall away
  • in presence we find renewal and then we return to the fray of life, again and again
  • being present to our experience, whatever that is, including grief
  • in presence, we find openness and tenderness,
  • we don't have to fix or control, there is a sense of relief
  • in presence, we find the wisdom to know what's next
  • leaders can create a culture where it's okay to grieve, to have ebbs and flows in productivity, to embrace our humanity
  • the push to produce more and more is not replicated in nature
  • clocks and timetables are useful for very specific purposes eg making appointments but so much in life happens independent of clocks
  • the only thing that makes something good or bad, valuable or not, is our judgment, made of thought
  • being present gives us more access to common sense which guides us beautifully
  • grief and gratitude are two sides of one coin. When you make space for the loss, you also make space for the gratitude
  • we often want to fix bad feelings, get through them quickly, but if we can pause and honour what is, there is a richness available
  • when old griefs come back around, maybe they are coming up for air, for healing
  • when we get really lost in our painful stories about ourselves, others, the past, and the future, we suffer
  • to really see how human beings create stories all the time and our stories are ever-changing is a huge insight
  • when we recognise the illusory nature of our stories, we get to hold them more lightly, let them flow through us
  • not using 'getting present' as a way to avoid our feelings or bypass them
  • presence and tenderness are so healing
  • by honouring the experience you are in right now, you are honouring Life
  • we are built to experience Life coming through us
  • what occurs to you around renewal and restoration?
