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?
