Hello,
I'm Kuchira,
And I'm going to bring you an ongoing series called Questions That My Students Ask Me.
I'll share thought-provoking questions from my students that spark meaningful discussions.
My sessions combine somatic practices with verbal exploration,
Allowing us to uncover the root of what's really going on,
On many levels.
Thus,
The questions that arise are multi-layered and often linger with me,
And I start to see them everywhere.
I love how these sorts of questions can be both complex and simple,
Just like human nature.
When I receive these questions,
I think about how many people might be pondering the same thing.
I feel compelled to share,
Hoping it might resonate with others and ignite new insights.
The ripple effect of sharing such questions and ideas can be profound,
And I'm excited to explore them with you.
So today's question comes from a student who's navigating confronting life challenges.
They have physically forced her to pause,
And as she heals from injury and surgery,
We discussed how maybe this pause is much needed,
And she needed the assistance of the universe to help her do it,
And also that the universe might be trying to communicate something deeper with her.
A couple weeks passed,
And I get a text message from her,
And she asks,
I want to honor whatever it is I'm supposed to be listening to,
But what am I supposed to be listening to?
Amazing question.
I want to honor whatever it is I'm supposed to be listening to,
But what am I supposed to be listening to?
This question highlights the tension between the ego mind and the soul spirit.
The mind's desire for control can create confusion,
But deep down,
The spirit knows.
How do you navigate the push and pull between your mind and your spirit?
That's a great journal question in and of itself,
And maybe you want to write it down for later.
How do you navigate the push and pull between your mind and spirit?
Let's dive deeper into the original question and explore its layers together.
I want to honor whatever it is I'm supposed to be listening to,
But what am I supposed to be listening to?
This is a profoundly personal question that has no definitive answer,
And this is why the mind does not like this question,
And it's why I love it.
This ambiguity is what makes it so rich and a lifelong exploration.
As you investigate,
You'll encounter multiple perspectives,
And that's where the real value of this question lies.
It's a dynamic process of observing infinite viewpoints of trial and error,
Observation,
And inquiry.
You mentioned you wanted to honor the body and what it is asking of you,
But not sure how much is too much and how little is too little.
The answer depends on context,
Perspective,
And dimension from the many viewpoints,
Physical,
Mental,
Emotional,
And spiritual,
And even soulful,
I'd say.
Each aspect may yield a different response or maybe no answer at all.
It doesn't much matter,
But what does matter is that it sparks a deeper conversation with various parts of you,
And when all those parts are conversing respectfully with each other,
We have flow,
And flow makes one glow,
No matter the challenges.
You see,
There is no right way or end point.
There is only the continual journey of learning oneself.
By being aware of awareness,
You are in deep conversation with all parts of yourself,
Which is actually the essence of your original question of wanting to honor whatever it is the universe is serving.
This journey isn't about seeking yes or no answers.
It's about cultivating self-awareness and reflection.
As you explore,
You'll encounter duality,
The interplay between opposing forces,
And to navigate this,
It's essential to honor not just the definable aspects,
But also the essence,
The spirit,
And the formless.
This takes us out of the logical mind and widens the lens.
Humans tend to forget that there is an infinite nothingness beyond their somebodiness.
That keeps them small and quite limited,
Making it very easy to get sucked back into the superficial void.
But when you widen the lens,
Harmony becomes a guiding principle.
Working in balance with oneness,
Allowing the solo player to become an orchestra,
Where each instrument is a part of the larger whole.
This balance isn't about logic or external measures.
It's about being in tune with oneself.
You'll learn to recognize this balance through experience,
Trial and error,
Becoming more aware of the intricate dance within you.
And just because you're the best player in the band doesn't mean you play the loudest.
Just because one part of you screams doesn't mean that all the parts of you have to silence and follow.
The band sounds best when you play together,
Respecting everyone's role.
Thus,
Harmony.
And that only you know.
Only you know how harmony works in you.
And if you yet don't,
This question that you've brought me today will definitely allow you to learn it through trial and error,
As you are now becoming aware of this beautiful dance called life.
And if you have a question of your own,
Please go ahead and ask in the comments.
And let's discuss.
If you enjoyed today's series,
I welcome donations.
And gratitude for being here,
Being curious,
And being you.
