Intuition

Cultivating inner knowing

A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:

What does growth look like for me?

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:

How does culture shape connection?

The practices I’m finding most helpful at the moment are:

Rest, Time in Nature

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:

Anytime spent with family and friends allows for my inner light to be kindled. I feel so joyful as the room becomes filled with laughter and smiles reflecting on our times together.

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:

I felt like my voice was not heard. Miscommunications can easily happen, but are often frustrating. It can feel exhausting trying to work through them, but I know that it is a necessary step in growing.

Courage

Aligning action

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

Time/Attention

I originally assumed:

I used to think... that when thoughts and feelings pop up, that I need to feed into them to allow myself to fully feel them. I felt that I was never going to get over a situation or feeling if I didn't feel ALL of it.

These assumptions are changing:

Now I sense... when I allow myself to acknowledge the feeling but not feed into it, that I am a much more mellow person. I used to let these situations and feelings ruin my day, but now I understand that these do not need to be fed.

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:

Going on a solo trip to a new city. It was something that I had been wanting to do for a while.

Compassion

Engaged Empathy

A peer in The Flight School community I am grateful to is:

Lauren Nietschke

My message of thanks to them is:

reaching out to me when the flight school first started. It helped me to feel more like I was joining a community.

Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:

Reaching out to talk to people outside of Circle.

Digital Detox Retreat
