Intuition
Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
What parts of me feel like they never left this place (my childhood home), and what parts no longer belong here?
A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:
How can I work towards giving back to the land in a way that is reciprocal and respectful?
The practices I’m finding most helpful at the moment are:
Journaling, Time in Nature, Other
A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
Recently, my grandmother passed and while this has been a difficult time for my family, seeing everyone come together to support one another has been really empowering. Its beautiful to see how while death is tragic it can also unify people.
A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
The passing of a family member.
Courage
Aligning action
Assumptions I'm examining right now are:
Happiness, Impact
I originally assumed:
I used to think that my idea of happiness is derived in what I 'could' or 'would' or 'should' have-rather than actively focusing on what I already have presently.
These assumptions are changing:
Drawing from my own 'New Happy' reflections (alongside being faced with difficulty this past month) I'm learning to be more present and grateful for my active being, rather than chasing uncertainty to attain joy.
A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
Taking myself on a solo date! I went to a cafe, restaurant, and art gallery/museum alone to enjoy my being.
Compassion
Engaged Empathy
A peer in The Flight School community I am grateful to is:
Catalina Cox
Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:
Open and honest communication and shared experiences :)
