Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_01: Welcome to the Life in Flow podcast.
- 0:03The three of us,
- 0:05Yulia,
- 0:05Polina,
- 0:06and Irina,
- 0:07are exploring what Life in Flow and Flow in Life is.
- 0:12Join us as we experiment,
- 0:15test our diverse hypotheses,
- 0:17and have fun in the process.
- 0:20SPEAKER_00: Will we find an answer?
- 0:23SPEAKER_00: This isn't just an intellectual discussion.
- 0:26SPEAKER_00: We're co-creating a shared field beyond words.
- 0:30We're attuning to what emerges moment by moment so that the
- 0:35conversation itself
- 0:36SPEAKER_00: becomes a group flow experience.
- 0:39SPEAKER_01: And we invite you to become an active participant in this experiment.
- 0:45SPEAKER_01: There will be pauses and moments of silence.
- 0:48SPEAKER_01: We leave them on purpose because this is where magic happens.
- 0:54SPEAKER_01: Go beyond the intellectual information.
- 0:57SPEAKER_01: Listen with your whole body.
- 1:00SPEAKER_02: And notice how your somatic experience shifts in the process.
- 1:05Share with us what reveals itself in the space where mind,
- 1:11body,
- 1:12and energy flow together.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to Life & Flow.
- 1:17And today we're exploring a question that keeps surfacing in
- 1:21our own conversations,
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: in our work,
- 1:24SPEAKER_00: in our lives.
- 1:26SPEAKER_00: How does trust emerge?
- 1:31SPEAKER_00: Is it built?
- 1:33SPEAKER_00: Is it chosen?
- 1:36SPEAKER_00: Is it felt?
- 1:38SPEAKER_00: And what does trust have to do with flow?
- 1:41We're not here to give answers so much as to sense into what
- 1:46this is for each of us.
- 1:49SPEAKER_00: So whether you're here with us live or you're listening later,
- 1:53SPEAKER_00: we invite you to explore with us,
- 1:56SPEAKER_00: not just in your mind,
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: but also in your whole system.
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: in your breath, in your body, and your attention.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: And now, let's play a little word association game.
- 2:13that is creative and it's nonlinear thinking and it gets us a
- 2:19little bit more into the topic.
- 2:22And what I invite you to do in this game is not only to engage
- 2:27your analytical
- 2:29SPEAKER_00: brain,
- 2:30SPEAKER_00: but also engage your body,
- 2:34SPEAKER_00: your presence,
- 2:35SPEAKER_00: your breath,
- 2:37SPEAKER_00: the topic we're associating words with, I apologize, is trust.
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: So what words emerge as we connect to that topic of trust?
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: So for me, it's actually warmth.
- 3:17I think for me it's stability or maybe not stability but like
- 3:32you feeling grounded.
- 3:35SPEAKER_02: It was that like
- 3:46When I thought initially about trust,
- 3:50the words that came to me were surrender and precipice.
- 4:02SPEAKER_02: When Eula started talking about stability,
- 4:06SPEAKER_02: I had the word centering,
- 4:10SPEAKER_02: which you're like more in line with around it.
- 4:17But when Paulina said the word warmth,
- 4:20like actually my whole state shifted.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: It was not the what,
- 4:27SPEAKER_02: but I just had this image of,
- 4:30SPEAKER_02: I don't know,
- 4:30SPEAKER_02: something gradient of colors that flowing into each other.
- 4:44SPEAKER_02: Yeah, warmth resonated with me as well.
- 4:48SPEAKER_02: I guess it's something that feels pleasantly heavy in the lower chest,
- 5:00SPEAKER_02: like in the area of sternum.
- 5:04SPEAKER_02: And it's soft, but springy and it creates some space.
- 5:15SPEAKER_02: That's how it feels.
- 5:18SPEAKER_02: And it also groans because it's on the heavier side.
- 5:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
- 5:23it makes me feel of and think back to like the sensory
- 5:29sensation I used to have
- 5:30SPEAKER_00: under this big,
- 5:32SPEAKER_00: thick,
- 5:33SPEAKER_00: beautiful blanket my grandma used to put over me.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: And being under a blanket like that,
- 5:40SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: you're almost in a cocoon and there's that sensation of warmth and trust.
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: And you're pausing the world for a brief amount of time.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: But also precipice.
- 5:55SPEAKER_00: That was a powerful resonance for me as well.
- 5:59SPEAKER_00: Because there is this sensation of tension.
- 6:05SPEAKER_00: As I engage with the concept of trust.
- 6:09SPEAKER_00: Tension of trusting or not trusting.
- 6:13SPEAKER_00: Is it a bit of a fall into trust?
- 6:16SPEAKER_00: Or is it a bit of a...
- 6:19can I so that definitely elicited like a sensory experience in
- 6:24my body as I engaged
- 6:26with that yeah to me this point of my life I guess you're like
- 6:36with all the
- 6:37experiences I'm going through internally mostly it's really
- 6:45more associated with
- 6:47SPEAKER_02: like
- 6:48SPEAKER_02: another phrase came to me,
- 6:50SPEAKER_02: the leap of faith,
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: and I really visualized myself just,
- 6:55SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 6:55SPEAKER_02: like,
- 6:57SPEAKER_02: plunging into the,
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: like,
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: vastness of uncertainty and darkness,
- 7:03SPEAKER_02: but not necessarily,
- 7:05SPEAKER_02: like,
- 7:06SPEAKER_02: in the bad sense of just...
- 7:13SPEAKER_02: vastness of unknown...
- 7:16SPEAKER_02: And as you were talking about the wands and exploring these feelings,
- 7:26SPEAKER_02: all these sensations,
- 7:28SPEAKER_02: grounding sensations,
- 7:30SPEAKER_02: so like my darkness was sort of starting feeling out with some kind of
- 7:44SPEAKER_02: you know, let's call it energy, that sort of holds me in this vastness.
- 7:55SPEAKER_02: Like, I'm surrounded by light in the darkness.
- 8:02SPEAKER_02: And this light keeps me suspended.
- 8:05SPEAKER_02: Something like this.
- 8:08SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
- 8:12SPEAKER_02: It's a curious dream.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 8:15SPEAKER_02: I'm just trying to visualize and kind of feel,
- 8:22I'm not sure how I would feel being in the vastness and only
- 8:29held by this,
- 8:31SPEAKER_02: I don't know how big or how powerful this light structure is.
- 8:38Yeah,
- 8:39it also made me feel like,
- 8:40wait,
- 8:40is there like a lot of pressure and tension on this?
- 8:45Like this,
- 8:45this,
- 8:46whatever it is,
- 8:47that's the light thing is like,
- 8:49is it a physical thing?
- 8:51SPEAKER_00: Is it like an energetic thing?
- 8:55SPEAKER_02: Like energetic can be physical?
- 9:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 9:00SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 9:02SPEAKER_02: For me, one more thing, I guess that's coming up as you're
- 9:10describing the darkness and that expanse I think it's actual
- 9:16stillness and maybe
- 9:20slowing down because I know that if I don't slow down I'm not
- 9:28gonna keep my trust I
- 9:36SPEAKER_02: could really feel that actually I
- 9:40Actually,
- 9:41like,
- 9:41when you said slowing down,
- 9:45speeding up immediately came up to me.
- 9:49SPEAKER_02: And it's actually, like, the two processes that emerge together.
- 9:53SPEAKER_02: So,
- 9:56SPEAKER_02: like,
- 9:56SPEAKER_02: you need to slow down in order to...
- 10:03SPEAKER_02: It's like this,
- 10:04SPEAKER_02: like,
- 10:04SPEAKER_02: you slow down,
- 10:06SPEAKER_02: or I slow down,
- 10:07SPEAKER_02: and in these situations,
- 10:11SPEAKER_02: Slowing down into presence, what happens is some kind of quantum jump.
- 10:20SPEAKER_00: Okay, yeah.
- 10:23SPEAKER_00: Quantum jump in trust or in something else?
- 10:31SPEAKER_02: All of this is happening in the space of trust.
- 10:38SPEAKER_02: Like a creative quantum jump.
- 10:42SPEAKER_02: Like something actually becomes something different.
- 10:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:49SPEAKER_02: Like it's like the immediate shift of reality.
- 10:55SPEAKER_00: Oh,
- 10:56SPEAKER_00: so like in the slowing down,
- 10:58there's actually an immediate shift in reality and there's a
- 11:01sensation of actually
- 11:02SPEAKER_00: speeding up in ways.
- 11:04SPEAKER_02: Yes, exactly.
- 11:05SPEAKER_00: Oh, I get that.
- 11:06SPEAKER_00: That's super cool.
- 11:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 11:11Okay,
- 11:11I want you to stay with these sensations as we transition into
- 11:15the next part.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: And I'm going to set it up a little bit.
- 11:20So I want to name something that feels important about how
- 11:26we're exploring trust,
- 11:28SPEAKER_00: not just what we're saying about it in this specific episode.
- 11:32SPEAKER_00: And the style of asking is a bit poetic, a bit open-ended.
- 11:38SPEAKER_00: It's not designed to push or pull for answers.
- 11:42SPEAKER_00: It's more...
- 11:44SPEAKER_00: designed to be a non-linear exploration of trust.
- 11:50And what we're going to be doing here is really forming kind of
- 11:55a trust field between us.
- 11:57SPEAKER_00: And we're going to trust that the questions will land how they need to,
- 12:03SPEAKER_00: and the answers will emerge as they need to.
- 12:07SPEAKER_00: And...
- 12:13SPEAKER_00: we're going to allow some pauses,
- 12:15SPEAKER_00: um,
- 12:16SPEAKER_00: and some emptiness and,
- 12:18SPEAKER_00: and some aliveness in the space between us.
- 12:21SPEAKER_00: So, um, the practicing of trust is actually in this exercise itself.
- 12:31SPEAKER_00: Um, so I'm gonna ask
- 12:35A few questions with some pauses in between to let you actually
- 12:39tune in to the
- 12:41SPEAKER_00: question to see what's emerging.
- 12:44SPEAKER_00: And then we will see what comes up for our discussion afterwards.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 12:52SPEAKER_00: So what's the moment just before trust appears?
- 12:58SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 13:12SPEAKER_00: Where does your body say yes before your mind does?
- 13:26SPEAKER_00: Have you ever realized you were trusted after the fact?
- 13:38SPEAKER_00: Can you be in flow and not in trust?
- 13:44SPEAKER_00: or trust and not be in flow.
- 14:03SPEAKER_00: So let's open it up now.
- 14:06SPEAKER_00: What came up for you as you sat with these?
- 14:10SPEAKER_00: Is there one that you feel more pulled?
- 14:14to speak into actually something that came up by the end and
- 14:31it's if you have is
- 14:33SPEAKER_02: there flow there is no trust and vice versa
- 14:37SPEAKER_02: And it's not an answer,
- 14:39but this is something that came up recently in a conversation
- 14:44with some people,
- 14:45SPEAKER_02: some Germans actually.
- 14:47SPEAKER_02: And we discussed trust as kind of like your state.
- 14:54SPEAKER_02: If you live in a certain society,
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: your low trust and high trust and the structure and let's say the system,
- 15:04SPEAKER_02: the social system,
- 15:05SPEAKER_02: the political system,
- 15:06SPEAKER_02: they
- 15:08SPEAKER_02: or the family system.
- 15:09SPEAKER_02: You have a lot of say in whether you trust or not.
- 15:14SPEAKER_02: And so my default setting with trust for a very,
- 15:22SPEAKER_02: very long time,
- 15:23SPEAKER_02: I'd say,
- 15:24SPEAKER_02: I don't know,
- 15:25SPEAKER_02: before recently,
- 15:27SPEAKER_02: maybe a couple of years ago,
- 15:30SPEAKER_02: it was always distrust,
- 15:33SPEAKER_02: deep distrust.
- 15:36SPEAKER_02: And
- 15:37SPEAKER_02: I guess in my mind and how I was trying to think about it,
- 15:41SPEAKER_02: it was distrust of the outside world.
- 15:47SPEAKER_02: But I think the two cannot be separated.
- 15:50SPEAKER_02: I think trust is either there or not.
- 15:55SPEAKER_02: I mean,
- 15:56SPEAKER_02: of course,
- 15:56SPEAKER_02: you do make a decision about the person,
- 15:59SPEAKER_02: about the situation,
- 16:00SPEAKER_02: but basically it's the same source.
- 16:03SPEAKER_02: If you don't have a source of trust,
- 16:09then it's neither there for the environment where you live or
- 16:17for yourself.
- 16:21SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's what I was... Can I ask you some clarifying questions?
- 16:26SPEAKER_00: I'm curious.
- 16:27SPEAKER_00: Are you describing the difference between...
- 16:32SPEAKER_00: The trust as a concept versus a state.
- 16:37SPEAKER_00: And then there's also a choice that I heard.
- 16:39SPEAKER_00: I wonder, is that a third aspect of trust for you?
- 16:47SPEAKER_00: What do you mean by choice?
- 16:50You said that you spent a lot of time mistrusting because of
- 16:54the environment,
- 16:55right?
- 16:57SPEAKER_00: So would that be a state?
- 17:00of mistrust would that be a trust you know like the state of of
- 17:04being yeah but also
- 17:06there was an a mental aspect right because you you also made a
- 17:10decision that you're
- 17:11not trusting for very good reasons yes am i getting that right
- 17:17and was there a
- 17:18SPEAKER_00: third aspect to what you were describing as well
- 17:25well i i'm not sure i can just break it out into uh different
- 17:30aspects and analyze
- 17:31it on the spot that was not really part of my um i guess
- 17:39whatever came up i'm i'm
- 17:44thinking of course the thinking and the feeling and the sensing
- 17:48they were all part
- 17:49SPEAKER_02: of this um state of trust i guess that um
- 17:55evolved um but what do we usually go with uh the default way to
- 18:02go is with um
- 18:04thinking and and the brain and for me it was the leading way to
- 18:09think about it i
- 18:10thought that i could actually this is a decision that i made to
- 18:14trust and not to
- 18:15trust and i can make another decision um which now i don't
- 18:19believe i think that um
- 18:21SPEAKER_02: you know it's not about
- 18:23making well maybe making a decision a conscious decision or
- 18:27creating an intention
- 18:28is part of feeling more trust but it's not by far not the main
- 18:33ingredient i
- 18:50SPEAKER_00: I really resonate with the way you described it.
- 18:52SPEAKER_00: I feel like I also spent the majority of my life in a state of distrust,
- 18:58SPEAKER_00: both as a choice,
- 19:01SPEAKER_00: like a protective choice,
- 19:02SPEAKER_00: but also as a state of being,
- 19:06SPEAKER_00: I guess because of the protection that I was seeking.
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: And...
- 19:19SPEAKER_00: There was still like a third element.
- 19:21And I'm saying that it's a third element because I don't really
- 19:24know how to describe it exactly.
- 19:26SPEAKER_00: But there was still a sense of like something else,
- 19:31like maybe in the observer self of it all or in the connection
- 19:39to something higher
- 19:40SPEAKER_00: that still doesn't.
- 19:42SPEAKER_00: like led me through that state and also trait.
- 19:46I feel like it was also a trait-based distrust because of the
- 19:49culture we come from
- 19:50SPEAKER_00: and the family dynamics and the time,
- 19:53SPEAKER_00: right?
- 19:55SPEAKER_00: But there was a sense of trust within all of that,
- 20:00SPEAKER_00: but it was outside of like kind of that structure.
- 20:08SPEAKER_00: And I think that's the element that
- 20:13SPEAKER_00: I've integrated with more and that has kind of led me back to this,
- 20:18SPEAKER_00: uh,
- 20:19SPEAKER_00: like actually playing with living into trust,
- 20:23SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 20:23SPEAKER_00: kind of like figuring out a way to embody this,
- 20:27SPEAKER_00: not just concept,
- 20:28SPEAKER_00: but really this energetic presence of being,
- 20:33SPEAKER_00: I want to say.
- 20:38SPEAKER_00: That's what was emerging for me.
- 20:47SPEAKER_02: I like the energetic presence of being.
- 20:53The thing is that while you were asking the questions,
- 21:01a lot of things were coming to me.
- 21:07And as we're,
- 21:09you know,
- 21:09continue talking,
- 21:10like things are keeping coming and they keep coming.
- 21:15SPEAKER_02: And so...
- 21:17SPEAKER_02: like my mind starts, okay, what do I need to say?
- 21:23SPEAKER_02: Like, how do I formulate all of this into a coherent discourse?
- 21:30SPEAKER_02: How to phrase all of this?
- 21:36SPEAKER_02: Do we have time to express all of this?
- 21:40SPEAKER_02: So here for me, my experience right now,
- 21:49this what is emerging is this question of how do I trust the
- 22:01emerging experience
- 22:02itself that just what is the most important that it will take
- 22:14its form on its own
- 22:15SPEAKER_02: if I just let it
- 22:19SPEAKER_02: and stopped trying to control the process with my mind.
- 22:25SPEAKER_02: What drew my attention when Yuna was speaking was the source of trust.
- 22:41SPEAKER_02: What is it?
- 22:43SPEAKER_02: Where is it?
- 22:46SPEAKER_02: And
- 22:48I believe Eula said that it's actually the same for the trust
- 22:54in the outside world.
- 22:55SPEAKER_02: It's for the trust within.
- 23:03SPEAKER_02: But if it's the same, where is it still?
- 23:08SPEAKER_02: Is it out there?
- 23:10SPEAKER_02: Is it within me?
- 23:12SPEAKER_02: Is it in the divine providence?
- 23:18SPEAKER_02: Because actually,
- 23:19I don't know how to make a logical connection with the mind
- 23:23between these two
- 23:25SPEAKER_02: things,
- 23:25SPEAKER_02: but somehow I feel that there is a connection.
- 23:32Your first question was what appears the moment right before
- 23:40trust and what emerged from
- 23:45SPEAKER_02: for me, was exactly this.
- 23:48SPEAKER_02: Actually,
- 23:48I have the new word that describes all this vastness and
- 23:54darkness that I was
- 23:56SPEAKER_02: talking before,
- 23:56SPEAKER_02: and it's emptiness.
- 23:59So,
- 24:01for me,
- 24:02this moment before the trust emerges,
- 24:07there is this emptiness,
- 24:13this precipice,
- 24:16SPEAKER_02: Which creates tension.
- 24:22SPEAKER_02: Do I make this choice?
- 24:23SPEAKER_02: Do I make this step of leap of faith,
- 24:28SPEAKER_02: of trusting that in this emptiness,
- 24:32SPEAKER_02: in this vastness,
- 24:35SPEAKER_02: I will be held by the light.
- 24:39SPEAKER_02: Whatever will emerge.
- 24:43SPEAKER_02: I will be able to sustain it.
- 24:46SPEAKER_02: Because I think this is what... It just came to me.
- 24:58SPEAKER_02: The problem of trust I have,
- 25:00SPEAKER_02: at least,
- 25:01SPEAKER_02: in whatever,
- 25:03SPEAKER_02: in myself,
- 25:05SPEAKER_02: in the world outside,
- 25:07SPEAKER_02: is exactly this not knowing...
- 25:16SPEAKER_02: Actually,
- 25:17SPEAKER_02: even more the fear,
- 25:18SPEAKER_02: like the expectation that the fear that I will not be able to sustain the
- 25:26SPEAKER_02: experience that is waiting for me,
- 25:30SPEAKER_02: like behind this loop of faith.
- 25:36SPEAKER_02: So I guess...
- 25:44SPEAKER_02: Trust in whatever means trusting that whatever happens,
- 25:51SPEAKER_02: whatever the experience will be for me,
- 25:54SPEAKER_02: the internal experience,
- 25:55SPEAKER_02: the external,
- 25:56SPEAKER_02: doesn't matter.
- 25:58SPEAKER_02: Because we tend to think that the trust is,
- 26:02SPEAKER_02: okay,
- 26:02SPEAKER_02: I trust that everything will happen as I want it to happen.
- 26:08And when it doesn't happen the way we expect it,
- 26:11then the trust is broken.
- 26:13SPEAKER_02: Oops, we have a problem.
- 26:16SPEAKER_02: But when this source of trust,
- 26:22SPEAKER_02: when I trust that whatever happens,
- 26:26SPEAKER_02: I will be able to sustain it,
- 26:33then it doesn't matter whether the light holds me or I'm
- 26:38falling down in the
- 26:39SPEAKER_02: darkness and I'm suspended in the emptiness.
- 26:43SPEAKER_02: It doesn't matter what happens.
- 26:44SPEAKER_02: It's about what happens within me.
- 26:49SPEAKER_02: So I guess what is emerging out of all of this blah,
- 26:55SPEAKER_02: blah,
- 26:55SPEAKER_02: blah,
- 26:56that I guess my conclusion is at the moment that this is the
- 27:00source of trust.
- 27:02SPEAKER_02: And it's within me.
- 27:05It's just my readiness to sustain the experience,
- 27:09whatever the experience is.
- 27:13SPEAKER_00: Thank you for verbalizing that.
- 27:15SPEAKER_00: You just took me on a journey, and I was so with you.
- 27:20SPEAKER_00: All of those elements are present, especially this tension about...
- 27:28Going with the trust and then this fear that I also have that
- 27:32comes up about can I
- 27:33sustain and this thing that will happen if I trust and go with
- 27:39with this like kind
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: of embodied sensation of energy and feeling.
- 27:43SPEAKER_00: Flow, really.
- 27:44It's actually a question of,
- 27:47if I trust and let myself get into this flow,
- 27:50can I sustain it?
- 27:52I don't know what part of me gets freaked out and worried about
- 27:55this aspect,
- 27:57SPEAKER_00: but there's definitely a part that always gets a little bit worried.
- 28:00SPEAKER_00: Not a little bit, I would say a lot.
- 28:04SPEAKER_00: And also...
- 28:07SPEAKER_00: There is this, before trust emerges, what's the moment right before it?
- 28:12SPEAKER_00: And for me, right before it is,
- 28:15SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it's emptiness.
- 28:17SPEAKER_00: It's more like, where's my observer self?
- 28:19SPEAKER_00: Like, which self am I going to go with?
- 28:22SPEAKER_00: Like,
- 28:23SPEAKER_00: the one that holds all of it,
- 28:25SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 28:25SPEAKER_00: the more expanded one,
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: or the one that is,
- 28:27SPEAKER_00: like,
- 28:28SPEAKER_00: in the experience?
- 28:29Like,
- 28:29there's almost like a,
- 28:30which lens are we going to use for this,
- 28:35like,
- 28:35kind of experience?
- 28:41SPEAKER_00: But it is almost coming back to what's already there.
- 28:46SPEAKER_00: the whole time.
- 28:47SPEAKER_00: So the question is like,
- 28:48why am I not living from that place of trust and in that flow
- 28:52the whole time?
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: What part steps out of that experience and why?
- 28:59SPEAKER_00: But it definitely,
- 29:00SPEAKER_00: for me,
- 29:04SPEAKER_00: also brings up kind of a response as to can there be flow without trust?
- 29:09SPEAKER_00: And I don't feel like...
- 29:14there can i i think that in order for the flow experience to
- 29:18actually happen you
- 29:19would have to have at least either a trust of your physical
- 29:24self or a trust in in
- 29:26your internal capacity and ability or a trust that like your
- 29:30brain can figure stuff
- 29:31out right i don't know that's what's kind of a that's what's
- 29:34emerging for me around
- 29:35SPEAKER_02: that well sometimes or actually a lot of times it's um
- 29:43trust that something beyond the brain will figure it out and
- 29:48that the things like
- 29:52you and all interconnectedness but also the forces like if we
- 29:57go to this low
- 30:00experience extreme flow experiences of mountain climbers and
- 30:06people who engage in
- 30:08SPEAKER_02: extreme sports they all say that it involves
- 30:13trust in something beyond you trust in the mountain trust in
- 30:20whatever like the
- 30:20energy that will hold you pick you up show you the way oh i
- 30:27love that go ahead no
- 30:31SPEAKER_02: yeah yeah trust in the mountain it it sounds
- 30:36powerful it didn't even occur to me to have trust in the
- 30:39mountain are you rock
- 30:42climbing what are you rock climbing no but i was just imagining
- 30:51when you're when i
- 30:52SPEAKER_00: have gone skiing on some of the scarier slopes
- 30:57SPEAKER_00: There was definitely like trusting the moment,
- 31:00SPEAKER_00: the energy,
- 31:01SPEAKER_00: my higher self,
- 31:02SPEAKER_00: like future,
- 31:02SPEAKER_00: like all of that.
- 31:03SPEAKER_00: But I actually never thought about trusting the mountains.
- 31:06SPEAKER_00: So that was a cool one.
- 31:07SPEAKER_00: Hmm.
- 31:07SPEAKER_00: I need to play with that.
- 31:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 31:11SPEAKER_02: But again,
- 31:11SPEAKER_02: like this trust,
- 31:13SPEAKER_02: I guess what I'm thinking about now,
- 31:14SPEAKER_02: okay,
- 31:15SPEAKER_02: there is a source of trust and it's something fundamental.
- 31:19And for example,
- 31:20if we go to model that I really like the Polo-Vagel theory,
- 31:24right?
- 31:25SPEAKER_02: Trust goes to this,
- 31:27setting where we feel or we know what it is to feel safe we're
- 31:32familiar with this
- 31:33feeling of safety in the world well you know like we i used i
- 31:40used to take it as
- 31:42feeling safe just on my own and with my own now i think it's
- 31:46feeling safe with the
- 31:48world because i'm never on my on my own um and um what was i
- 31:55going to say yeah
- 31:57SPEAKER_02: And I don't even remember where I was going with this.
- 32:03SPEAKER_02: Actually,
- 32:04SPEAKER_02: my idea was that it involves a lot of kind of like trying and errors,
- 32:10SPEAKER_02: maybe practicing trust because yes,
- 32:17so there is a source of trust and there is also things that
- 32:22you're supposed to do
- 32:24SPEAKER_02: in practical terms to
- 32:27maintain the source to feed the source to cultivate the source
- 32:32because if you don't
- 32:34then the source itself um probably is not gonna do much i i
- 32:45agree i think you're
- 32:46SPEAKER_02: like to all this topic so that we
- 32:55SPEAKER_02: And I don't think that it's the common experience for all people,
- 32:59SPEAKER_02: but taking into account our background,
- 33:04SPEAKER_02: we're coming from the country,
- 33:07SPEAKER_02: the whole historical background of extreme instability,
- 33:16SPEAKER_02: prolonged instability.
- 33:18SPEAKER_02: And just in case,
- 33:19SPEAKER_02: we didn't mention this time where we're coming from,
- 33:22SPEAKER_02: and we're coming from Russia.
- 33:23SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 33:25SPEAKER_02: I don't think that we will mention it in every episode.
- 33:29SPEAKER_02: But since we're talking about it now in the country.
- 33:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 33:33So I can imagine that there could be people who grew up in the
- 33:42nurturing,
- 33:43stable environment.
- 33:46SPEAKER_02: They might have this sense of trust in themselves,
- 33:49SPEAKER_02: in life,
- 33:50SPEAKER_02: and whatever,
- 33:51SPEAKER_02: just deeply ingrained in
- 33:54It doesn't mean that it can't be broken at a certain point or
- 33:59challenged,
- 33:59at least.
- 34:03SPEAKER_02: But,
- 34:04SPEAKER_02: yeah,
- 34:04SPEAKER_02: so,
- 34:05SPEAKER_02: like,
- 34:06SPEAKER_02: when you come,
- 34:10SPEAKER_02: even just,
- 34:10SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 34:11SPEAKER_02: from the culture that I used to be always on the alert and always,
- 34:16SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 34:16SPEAKER_02: like,
- 34:16SPEAKER_02: expecting that,
- 34:17SPEAKER_02: yeah,
- 34:17SPEAKER_02: like,
- 34:18SPEAKER_02: tomorrow we don't know what will happen.
- 34:22SPEAKER_02: Trust in the world, the external environment.
- 34:26SPEAKER_02: It's a weird concept.
- 34:34SPEAKER_02: When we're talking about whether trust is a choice,
- 34:40SPEAKER_02: I don't think that this trust is a state,
- 34:47SPEAKER_02: is a default state.
- 34:50SPEAKER_02: is actually choice because it's the default.
- 34:54SPEAKER_02: You're not conscious about it.
- 34:55SPEAKER_02: You're just absorbed with the environment,
- 34:59SPEAKER_02: with culture,
- 35:00SPEAKER_02: with mentality,
- 35:01SPEAKER_02: with everything that surrounds you.
- 35:02SPEAKER_02: You don't make a choice.
- 35:04SPEAKER_02: You just live like this.
- 35:06SPEAKER_02: You have to make a choice at a certain point to start trusting whatever.
- 35:14SPEAKER_02: Life, the world, yourself, people, it depends on the personal context.
- 35:20SPEAKER_02: And this,
- 35:21SPEAKER_02: yes,
- 35:21SPEAKER_02: is all,
- 35:23SPEAKER_02: it's always,
- 35:25SPEAKER_02: first of all,
- 35:25SPEAKER_02: it requires the decision,
- 35:28SPEAKER_02: the personal decision.
- 35:29SPEAKER_02: Now, like, I want to learn to trust.
- 35:32SPEAKER_02: It requires this leap of faith.
- 35:36SPEAKER_02: You're like jumping into this precipice because
- 35:44SPEAKER_02: You want to explore something you didn't know before.
- 35:46If you are coming from the default state of this trust,
- 35:50how do you know what trust is?
- 35:54SPEAKER_02: You need to jump into the precipice.
- 35:57SPEAKER_02: And then it requires a lot of practice.
- 36:01So if the constant repetitive practice of making this decision
- 36:09time and again,
- 36:11and failing and because again when we are playing with this
- 36:18okay i will trust that
- 36:19everything will happen as i want my mind wants it to happen
- 36:25oops houston we have a
- 36:27SPEAKER_02: problem so you like finding this your own path on this slippery path for
- 36:39SPEAKER_02: okay, decide to trust, but do I trust myself?
- 36:43SPEAKER_02: Do I trust my destiny?
- 36:44Do I trust that the universe will bring me everything I want if
- 36:49I vibrate the good vibrations?
- 36:55Or do I trust that whatever happens in the end,
- 36:58I will be able to sustain everything.
- 37:01These are all the different trusts and it requires a lot of
- 37:03practice and the
- 37:06SPEAKER_02: it's like very long-term genre of exploration actually of this personal
- 37:12SPEAKER_02: relationship with trust in different elements of the path yeah
- 37:23like the different layers that are all involved and as you were
- 37:27describing your
- 37:29experience and and the way you see it for me what was emerging
- 37:33was like the only
- 37:35thing you could truly trust is that in this moment specifically
- 37:38right now here
- 37:41whatever can emerge will like you can trust that and the more
- 37:48prepared you are
- 37:50In terms of maybe information or data that the energy can
- 37:57gather in your head and
- 38:00SPEAKER_00: send through your mouth and verbalize into the world?
- 38:04SPEAKER_00: Or however prepared you are energetically, how clear your ability to...
- 38:12SPEAKER_00: connect to yourself,
- 38:13SPEAKER_00: to connect to the energy,
- 38:15connect to whatever it is that is pulling on those levers that
- 38:19create that
- 38:20SPEAKER_00: experience of kind of trust and also what's the word?
- 38:30It's almost like a co-creation,
- 38:33moment by moment co-creation that is driven by how
- 38:39SPEAKER_00: aware and tuned in you are,
- 38:42but also tuned out into like the whole spectrum of all the
- 38:47layers involved all at
- 38:48SPEAKER_00: the same time.
- 38:49SPEAKER_02: So what I'm thinking about now is improv comedy,
- 38:57SPEAKER_02: because this is my place where I've been practicing trust.
- 39:02SPEAKER_02: It was not always fun.
- 39:04SPEAKER_02: Actually, a lot of times it's not fun.
- 39:09SPEAKER_02: And,
- 39:11SPEAKER_02: I think there are a few insights.
- 39:15If I think about it in the context of improv,
- 39:18first,
- 39:21what comes before trust?
- 39:23SPEAKER_02: For me, it's fear and distrust.
- 39:27And then I need to slow down to create some stillness and to
- 39:31regain that trust.
- 39:33SPEAKER_02: And then when I go on stage, let's say the trust is...
- 39:40SPEAKER_02: Of course, you cannot prepare because it's improv.
- 39:45SPEAKER_02: So the trust is that,
- 39:49SPEAKER_02: yes,
- 39:49SPEAKER_02: I will come up with something,
- 39:51SPEAKER_02: that my partner will come up with something,
- 39:54SPEAKER_02: that the whole space will somehow help this to happen,
- 40:00SPEAKER_02: and that failure,
- 40:04SPEAKER_02: and I've done that quite a few times where I felt like,
- 40:08SPEAKER_02: Oh my God, that was so lame.
- 40:10SPEAKER_02: That was so lame.
- 40:11Nothing came from me,
- 40:13from,
- 40:14well,
- 40:14maybe something from the party,
- 40:15but definitely not from me.
- 40:17SPEAKER_02: And so in this case,
- 40:20SPEAKER_02: after a few times,
- 40:21SPEAKER_02: I was like,
- 40:21SPEAKER_02: okay,
- 40:22SPEAKER_02: now I trust that if I fail this time,
- 40:26SPEAKER_02: or if the failure is there,
- 40:27SPEAKER_02: it's maybe not me per se who failed it,
- 40:31SPEAKER_02: then this is something that I need.
- 40:34SPEAKER_02: I trust in that this is something that's going to
- 40:39SPEAKER_02: teach me and help me go forward.
- 40:43SPEAKER_02: Actually, it was the case already a couple of times.
- 40:46SPEAKER_02: When I started to look at it like that,
- 40:50that every time that I feel really easy on stage and that I
- 40:56didn't understand
- 40:57SPEAKER_02: something or I couldn't come up with anything remotely good enough,
- 41:02SPEAKER_02: that moment makes me kind of like...
- 41:06SPEAKER_02: I don't know, lean in and then the next time things get better.
- 41:16Two things came to me while you were speaking and I will try to
- 41:21read it all together.
- 41:22SPEAKER_02: I'm not sure that it will be very logical.
- 41:28I actually feel like I had two pictures when you started
- 41:34talking that you're like,
- 41:37that there is a fear and then I need to trust that everything
- 41:41just somehow will
- 41:42happen what is supposed to happen and even the failure we need
- 41:48to redefine the word
- 41:50failure and the experience of failure but as you said this
- 41:54redefinition is right so
- 41:56that means it doesn't correspond to my expectations but it
- 42:00means that there is
- 42:01SPEAKER_02: something in this experience and I need this something
- 42:06SPEAKER_02: So what came to my mind was the image from your favorite series,
- 42:13SPEAKER_02: The Wheel of Time,
- 42:14SPEAKER_02: when this initiation ritual when she was falling down the river.
- 42:27SPEAKER_02: So this is the very beautiful image of really cloning
- 42:34SPEAKER_02: Trust in the process, trust in life.
- 42:37SPEAKER_02: I'm just surrendered.
- 42:39SPEAKER_02: I let this flow take me to where I need to be taken.
- 42:50SPEAKER_02: She was also applying some effort, right?
- 42:54SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 42:54SPEAKER_02: It requires effort.
- 42:59SPEAKER_02: In a lot of sense, first it requires effort.
- 43:04SPEAKER_02: You're like,
- 43:07surrender is always an effort because you need to get away from
- 43:16your previous state
- 43:17SPEAKER_02: of control.
- 43:21So this is what came to me when Paulina was talking about that
- 43:25you need to be prepared.
- 43:27SPEAKER_02: But the question is,
- 43:30SPEAKER_02: Can you be prepared for the unknown?
- 43:39So it's always because I remember this moment in my life when I
- 43:49consciously decided
- 43:51SPEAKER_02: that I wanted to learn to trust life.
- 43:57SPEAKER_02: And there is this big question still.
- 44:02SPEAKER_02: I alluded to it already several times.
- 44:05SPEAKER_02: What does it mean, trust in life?
- 44:07That I trust that the universe will fulfill my wishes if I
- 44:13behave in a certain way.
- 44:17Or I trust that whatever experience life will take me to is
- 44:22exactly like this river.
- 44:26SPEAKER_02: will be the experience for whatever reason I need to be in.
- 44:35SPEAKER_02: Another... And coming back to this stance that it's a constant practice.
- 44:46SPEAKER_02: I remember I made this conscious decision.
- 44:51SPEAKER_02: It was like 2016.
- 44:55SPEAKER_02: And I finally realized that I don't want to set goals anymore.
- 45:03I can't live in this mode of goal setting and goal achieving
- 45:07and making decisions
- 45:11SPEAKER_02: from these strategic plans of,
- 45:14SPEAKER_02: okay,
- 45:14SPEAKER_02: I'm going this way.
- 45:16SPEAKER_02: Okay, I'm surrendering.
- 45:18SPEAKER_02: And it is the constant practice of
- 45:26Sometimes it turns into a fight because this expectation of
- 45:34their known against
- 45:36SPEAKER_02: Lenovo,
- 45:36I want these things to happen and they go another way and it
- 45:42creates this anxiety.
- 45:48SPEAKER_02: How will I survive this if it doesn't happen the way I want it to happen?
- 45:56SPEAKER_02: it requires this constant exercise,
- 45:58SPEAKER_02: okay,
- 45:58SPEAKER_02: like,
- 46:00SPEAKER_02: I am going back to my decision that I will trust that whatever happens,
- 46:11SPEAKER_02: somehow I need this experience.
- 46:13SPEAKER_02: And so, like, I will just live this experience and I will learn from it.
- 46:17SPEAKER_02: And most probably it will not be the experience my mind wants for me.
- 46:24SPEAKER_02: So the other...
- 46:26thing that came to me when julia was speaking was this phrase
- 46:33from do you remember
- 46:35shakespearean love like they they it was the scene that was
- 46:41constantly repeating
- 46:42SPEAKER_02: like when like
- 46:45SPEAKER_02: Whatever happens, everything is a problem.
- 46:50SPEAKER_02: Everyone is excited.
- 46:53SPEAKER_02: What are we going to do?
- 46:54SPEAKER_02: What are we going to do?
- 46:55SPEAKER_02: And someone is saying, it will all start out somehow.
- 47:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but how?
- 47:03SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 47:05SPEAKER_02: It's a mystery.
- 47:10SPEAKER_00: It's so true.
- 47:12It's a constant experiment,
- 47:13like from what you're describing and also what Yule was
- 47:16describing.
- 47:17SPEAKER_00: That's what I'm really playing with even in today's episode.
- 47:22SPEAKER_00: I am one of those people that's like,
- 47:24let me throw all the facts out there and do all the research
- 47:28and be like on top of
- 47:29SPEAKER_00: all of the scientific opinions about this topic.
- 47:33SPEAKER_00: But this time around, I was like, no, I'm not going to do that.
- 47:36SPEAKER_00: I did my research.
- 47:37SPEAKER_00: I prepared.
- 47:38SPEAKER_00: And then I just let it go.
- 47:40SPEAKER_00: Because I was trusting that whatever needs to arise,
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: and not even from my lips,
- 47:45SPEAKER_00: but from the two of you,
- 47:47whatever needs to arise around this topic at this particular
- 47:49point in time,
- 47:50SPEAKER_00: in a short episode,
- 47:52SPEAKER_00: one of many that we're going to do,
- 47:54SPEAKER_00: that...
- 47:56that it will arise and and that really does require a letting
- 48:00go a tuning out of
- 48:03something tuning into something else uh still preparation just
- 48:08so that's that let's
- 48:10say some of the facts or some of the thoughts are available at
- 48:14least somehow you
- 48:16SPEAKER_00: know in the data channel but not
- 48:19SPEAKER_00: really kind of driving the controlling aspect of like,
- 48:22SPEAKER_00: no,
- 48:23SPEAKER_00: this has to come from the data channel.
- 48:24SPEAKER_00: And today,
- 48:25SPEAKER_00: actually,
- 48:25I wanted to tune out of the data channel almost more than ever
- 48:29before and tune into
- 48:31like the space and the energy and the trust of the three of us
- 48:35and the trust that
- 48:36SPEAKER_00: whatever needs to emerge will.
- 48:37SPEAKER_00: I'm not sure how well it went today,
- 48:40SPEAKER_00: but I'm hoping that it's like another step in this experiment towards
- 48:46SPEAKER_00: Just like the flow of all of it.
- 48:50SPEAKER_00: Like this big vision of flow.
- 48:55SPEAKER_02: And speaking about flow and trust,
- 48:58SPEAKER_02: one of your questions was,
- 49:00SPEAKER_02: if there is trust,
- 49:01SPEAKER_02: will there always be flow?
- 49:03SPEAKER_02: And my answer is no.
- 49:06SPEAKER_02: Like, for example, yeah, exactly.
- 49:07SPEAKER_02: If we are trusting now ourselves ourselves,
- 49:12that something will emerge between the three of us and between
- 49:16the space and the
- 49:17SPEAKER_02: world and the topic of trust,
- 49:21SPEAKER_02: it may not happen or it may not flow.
- 49:28And that's okay because we also discussed that there is a
- 49:35difference between,
- 49:37SPEAKER_02: let's say,
- 49:37SPEAKER_02: flow in the moment,
- 49:38SPEAKER_02: flow as a process and
- 49:41SPEAKER_02: Life and flow.
- 49:44SPEAKER_02: It just means that whatever we're doing right now,
- 49:48SPEAKER_02: we do have trust that it's somehow within the flow of life.
- 49:55SPEAKER_02: This is truly our flow in life at the moment.
- 50:00SPEAKER_02: It sounds a little bit too complicated for me.
- 50:04SPEAKER_02: No, no, no.
- 50:05SPEAKER_02: I think it's wonderful.
- 50:06SPEAKER_02: The flow in the absence of flow.
- 50:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 50:10SPEAKER_00: The flow and the absence of flow.
- 50:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah,
- 50:14SPEAKER_02: it's just,
- 50:15SPEAKER_02: we say,
- 50:16if we trust that whatever experience emerges for me at any
- 50:21moment is exactly the
- 50:22SPEAKER_02: experience that I need to be in at this moment.
- 50:27SPEAKER_02: So if,
- 50:29SPEAKER_02: for whatever reason,
- 50:30I need to experience the absence of flow because I'm still at
- 50:33the learning stage.
- 50:35SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 50:37SPEAKER_02: So I'm still in the process of living in the flow.
- 50:42SPEAKER_02: In the long term, I'm trusting that it will all sort it out.
- 50:53SPEAKER_02: And I don't know how.
- 50:54SPEAKER_02: It's a mystery.
- 50:59SPEAKER_00: Well, but still effort.
- 51:01SPEAKER_00: The effort part is definitely still part of it.
- 51:03SPEAKER_00: You can't just say,
- 51:04SPEAKER_00: okay,
- 51:04I'm going to trust the process and I'm going to trust the flow
- 51:08and it's all just
- 51:09SPEAKER_00: going to take care of itself.
- 51:11SPEAKER_00: I feel like flow is where preparation meets trust meets...
- 51:22SPEAKER_00: the ability to connect meets a bunch of elements coming together.
- 51:27It's like really a quite complicated set of like pieces all
- 51:34coming together and,
- 51:36SPEAKER_00: and also coming together from moment to moment to moment.
- 51:38SPEAKER_00: So.
- 51:39SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 51:40SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 51:41So I,
- 51:42I don't really share what Eula said,
- 51:44you know,
- 51:46coming back to the question.
- 51:47SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
- 51:51SPEAKER_02: Is trust always present in flow?
- 51:53SPEAKER_02: And does trust always mean that there is flow?
- 51:57SPEAKER_02: So I agree.
- 51:58SPEAKER_02: Yes.
- 51:58The trust is one of the prerequisites of the flow,
- 52:03but it's not sufficient for flow.
- 52:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I could see that.
- 52:10SPEAKER_00: I could see that distinction.
- 52:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 52:14SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 52:17SPEAKER_00: So...
- 52:21SPEAKER_00: I think we are going to start closing up this episode.
- 52:27And I'm going to invite us and the listener to sit with some of
- 52:33these questions
- 52:34SPEAKER_00: that we have answered.
- 52:36SPEAKER_00: discuss today, um, and not rush to answer them, really explore them.
- 52:42SPEAKER_00: Uh,
- 52:43SPEAKER_00: not just,
- 52:43SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 52:44SPEAKER_00: from your mental perspective,
- 52:46SPEAKER_00: but also,
- 52:46SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 52:47SPEAKER_00: from,
- 52:47SPEAKER_00: from the somatic experience of trust and flow.
- 52:52And,
- 52:52um,
- 52:55I invite you to ponder,
- 52:57uh,
- 52:57what is,
- 52:59what does your body already know about trust?
- 53:04And what might trust feel like in your body in the next
- 53:08conversation or the next breath?
- 53:15SPEAKER_00: And if something opens up for you, we'd love to hear from you.
- 53:20SPEAKER_00: Please send us a note, leave a message.
- 53:24SPEAKER_00: This is a co-creation.
- 53:25SPEAKER_00: This is a big experiment that we're engaged in.
- 53:28And we definitely want to engage with you,
- 53:31the listener,
- 53:32as well as we're engaging people.
- 53:34SPEAKER_00: with each other.
- 53:35And just to leave things,
- 53:40I want to ask each one of you,
- 53:42what are you leaving with today?
- 53:44Actually,
- 53:53the last couple of minutes as we're discussing things like this
- 53:58question around
- 54:00people was coming up for me that I didn't have an answer for
- 54:04because you know with
- 54:08people when you experience so much I guess betrayal in your
- 54:13life and it's almost a
- 54:15given that you do and it's not something that you have control
- 54:21over how do you keep
- 54:25SPEAKER_02: this trust with people and
- 54:29SPEAKER_02: what was coming up as my response at the moment.
- 54:34I'm at the point where I've more or less restored trust for
- 54:39people and with people,
- 54:41SPEAKER_02: again,
- 54:41SPEAKER_02: without expectations.
- 54:42As Irina says,
- 54:45I don't expect people to behave according to my expectations.
- 54:50SPEAKER_02: I expect that I will be able to handle in whatever way they may behave.
- 54:54SPEAKER_02: And I can also make a choice who I connect and deal with.
- 55:00But what was coming for me was that if I were to choose one
- 55:09focal point from which
- 55:14SPEAKER_02: I would need to build up my trust as the source,
- 55:21SPEAKER_02: then it would be...
- 55:26SPEAKER_02: It would not be people.
- 55:27SPEAKER_02: I would not start with people.
- 55:32I would actually start with trees and plants or animals because
- 55:42I think that they
- 55:49SPEAKER_02: offer much more reciprocation
- 55:54at least in the form that you need and expect when lots of
- 56:00times people do,
- 56:03especially if you come from this kind of low trust environment
- 56:06and life for humans
- 56:10SPEAKER_02: betraying.
- 56:11SPEAKER_02: I was just,
- 56:14I had this image in my head because I went to the forest today
- 56:18and I was not
- 56:20SPEAKER_02: feeling well at all and I could not understand why I was not feeling well
- 56:25And then there was something,
- 56:29a super interesting plan,
- 56:30the way it looked.
- 56:31And I went there and there was a tree and there was a root that
- 56:34was sticking out of the ground.
- 56:37SPEAKER_02: And when I sat down,
- 56:39SPEAKER_02: it's if that root was,
- 56:41SPEAKER_02: and that tree was inviting me and they lured me through the flower.
- 56:48SPEAKER_02: And I sat there and all of a sudden I felt this wave
- 56:54SPEAKER_02: of comforting energy that I could trust.
- 56:58SPEAKER_02: I spent two hours there and I was lying down in the tree.
- 57:05SPEAKER_02: So that's what I wanted to finish with.
- 57:16SPEAKER_02: Thank you, Yulia.
- 57:18SPEAKER_02: How about you, Ira?
- 57:19SPEAKER_02: I must say I want to say two things.
- 57:23first that this conversation has been an exercise of trust for
- 57:30me trust in the
- 57:32process that everything will emerge as it needs to be emerged
- 57:40and I need to have it
- 57:41SPEAKER_02: all figured out in the mind and actually it helped me
- 57:55SPEAKER_02: To find my own source of trust.
- 57:59SPEAKER_02: The source of trust is something that resonated deeply with me.
- 58:09And my inner experience of my life trajectory lately has been
- 58:23all about this
- 58:29like in a struggle for and with and against the trust in myself
- 58:39or the lack of it
- 58:42SPEAKER_02: and trusting in the any other um
- 58:51SPEAKER_02: External forces, external environment, the circumstances, whatever.
- 58:56So my inexperience of everything what is going on in my life
- 59:00has been this,
- 59:00SPEAKER_02: that I'm hanging in this vastness of darkness and emptiness.
- 59:08SPEAKER_02: And I don't know if I can trust myself to get out of it or if I can trust
- 59:17SPEAKER_02: everything what's around me to let me to get out of it.
- 59:21SPEAKER_02: But actually,
- 59:23our conversation led me to install this realization that it's
- 59:29not about trusting
- 59:30that I will be able to get out of it or that there will be more
- 59:35light or whatever,
- 59:37SPEAKER_02: more stability,
- 59:38SPEAKER_02: more ground.
- 59:41SPEAKER_02: But it trusts that I will be able to sustain it.
- 59:47SPEAKER_02: Whatever happens for me in this emptiness, darkness and precipice.
- 59:54SPEAKER_02: And it was quite an important insight.
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_00: And for me...
- 1:00:10I just appreciate that we have this container to experiment
- 1:00:14with things like flow and trust.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_00: And this was also,
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_00: um,
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_00: a big experiment in trust for me,
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_00: even going through,
- 1:00:22SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:00:24SPEAKER_00: this very loose kind of structure,
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_00: uh,
- 1:00:27SPEAKER_00: of,
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_00: of this episode.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_00: Um,
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_00: and not being as engaged with my mental faculties as I usually am.
- 1:00:37This was a new experiment and it was actually kind of cool,
- 1:00:41but also like it requires practice.
- 1:00:43SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 1:00:44the more we do all these experiments and the more I trust
- 1:00:48myself and I trust the
- 1:00:50SPEAKER_00: two of you and I trust the field,
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_00: to try different things,
- 1:00:54the more it's kind of like almost a self-building mechanism
- 1:01:01towards like in this
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_00: direction that I really like and I want to stretch into even more.
- 1:01:08So I really appreciate that the two of you are so willing to
- 1:01:12play and try different
- 1:01:14SPEAKER_00: things,
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_00: even if our rational minds don't always agree.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_00: It is definitely overall an experiment in trust.
- 1:01:26thank you both of you and thank you for joining us for those of
- 1:01:31you who are

- 1:01:53SPEAKER_02: Thanks for listening.
- 1:01:54SPEAKER_02: How was it for you?
- 1:01:56We believe that the more people experience group flow together,
- 1:02:01the better off we all are.
- 1:02:03SPEAKER_02: More connected, more creative, more alive.
