  let life meet you with surprise and delights and open
• 0:07
  yourself up to the possibility that something really magical can happen.

  Hello and welcome back to Remember Why You're Here,
• 0:26
  a podcast for seekers and sensitives where you can relax, receive,
• 0:30
  reconnect to yourself, and remember the most important thing of all,
• 0:35
  why you're here. Lately,
• 0:39
  everything has been coming to fruition here in my garden.
• 0:44
  All the trees are finally leafed out and the canopy has closed,
• 0:49
  and we're transitioning from the spring ephemeral aspect
• 0:54
  of the bloom time into the summer blooms.
• 0:57
  It really feels like we're entering the summer here.
• 1:00
  And I've been reflecting a lot as we transition from April into
• 1:05
  May on just what exactly that transition is and how it often
• 1:10
  feels in my body.
• 1:11
  It often feels like moving from this time of
• 1:16
  breaking opening and rushing in into a little bit more
• 1:21
  of a settling into that Taurus season energy.
• 1:26
  And the reading for this may,
• 1:29
  the intuitive reading for this may really brought that home for me.
• 1:33
  And I've been thinking a lot about what I shared in that reading in
• 1:38
  terms of the river space that we're walking
• 1:43
  into now,
• 1:45
  this opportunity for more peace,
• 1:49
  for more rest,
• 1:52
  for allowing the rush to
• 1:57
  calm for a little bit.
• 1:59
  And it was reminding me of this transmission that I shared now several years ago
• 2:04
  where I talked about this one word,
• 2:06
  this word that I keep at the center of my altar that is
• 2:11
  often very helpful for me,
• 2:14
  especially in transition points and times where I feel like I'm moving from one
• 2:18
  phase into another,
• 2:21
  when I experience overwhelm of the world around me or
• 2:26
  overwhelm in my life when it feels like there's so much on the to-do list.
• 2:30
  This one word, I've realized if I could pick a word that's my soul word,
• 2:34
  it's going to be this word. And so I was inspired to share this
• 2:39
  transmission again as we enter into this month of May,
• 2:43
  because I think that this is a word that we need now more than ever
• 2:48
  in this world. So settle in,
• 2:53
  give yourself some time and space,
• 2:56
  and let's drop into this one word that could heal
• 3:01
  everything.
• 3:04
  I was being interviewed a while ago and the interviewer asked me this really
• 3:08
  interesting question. They said,
• 3:10
  "What is one word that has guided your life up to this point?" And I really took
• 3:15
  my time thinking about this,
• 3:17
  and then I knew if I could only choose one word to be the guide for
• 3:22
  my life, it would be possibility.
• 3:26
  I once had a Chinese medicine practitioner share this really interesting tidbit
• 3:31
  of information with me. From a Chinese medicine perspective,
• 3:34
  when someone dies of old age,
• 3:37
  what's really happening is that their heart stops believing in possibilities.
• 3:42
  So when that person has died of old age,
• 3:45
  what's really going on is that their heart no longer sees any possibilities for
• 3:49
  that lifetime, and so their spirit departs.
• 3:53
  This really struck me on a deep level when I heard this story.
• 3:57
  In a very tangible way,
• 3:59
  possibility opens our hearts to the experience of life.
• 4:03
  Possibility is the very thing that makes life worth living,
• 4:09
  that gives our spirit something to live for on this planet.
• 4:13
  The opposite of possibility is feeling stagnant, trapped, or stuck.
• 4:19
  And from my perspective, this is one of the worst feelings on earth,
• 4:23
  but you know that when you feel that sense of stagnancy or stuckness,
• 4:28
  what's really going on is your spirit is asking you to see and
• 4:32
  perceive possibility again. So I know that for me,
• 4:37
  possibility has been such an important word in my life.
• 4:41
  When I was in my early 20s and I was diagnosed with a chronic pain condition,
• 4:45
  possibility was the word that kept me searching for answers.
• 4:50
  It was the word that kept me believing that healing was possible.
• 4:54
  Even when I was told by doctors that there was nothing I could do and that this
• 4:58
  chronic pain would be with me for the rest of my life. Possibility was something
• 5:03
  I held onto and ultimately that belief and possibility was the thing that
• 5:08
  healed me.
• 5:09
  Possibility isn't necessarily receiving an answer or having
• 5:14
  everything magically resolve itself in your life,
• 5:17
  but possibility is asking this question,
• 5:20
  "What opportunities are here for me?
• 5:23
  " Possibility is looking at a dead end and seeing that the path continues.
• 5:28
  It is being able to embrace the gifts or the lessons of any
• 5:33
  experience in your life and knowing that healing in whatever form that takes
• 5:38
  is always possible.
• 5:40
  Possibility opens our heart to the truth of life's wonder.
• 5:45
  It increases all in our life.
• 5:47
  It opens the portal of our perception to see the way nature sees.
• 5:52
  When a tree falls in a forest, that's just the beginning of more possibilities.
• 5:57
  It's the beginning of flowers that can spring up,
• 6:00
  a space opening up for other trees to come in. The earth sees in
• 6:05
  shades of possibility and is always asking us to see in those shades of
• 6:09
  possibility as well because when we can be in a mindset of possibility,
• 6:13
  we can also start to perceive new ideas and innovations that can come in to
• 6:18
  help heal this world because here's the secret,
• 6:22
  there's always possibility.
• 6:26
  Even when someone passes away from old age because their heart stops believing
• 6:30
  in the possibilities of this lifetime,
• 6:33
  that heart opens up in a wider way to the possibilities beyond death.
• 6:38
  And in that same way,
• 6:39
  we are being asked to peer beyond what we see as dead ends
• 6:44
  or fatalism on this earth and start to believe in the possibility of
• 6:49
  healing, the possibility of regeneration,
• 6:52
  the possibility of a new cycle starting here on earth.
• 6:56
  So you can create this sense of possibility in your life by asking yourself this
• 7:01
  question. "In my dream of dreams, what would be possible for me?
• 7:07
  " You can start with the big view of your life as a whole,
• 7:10
  but you can also ask yourself this on a day-to-day basis.
• 7:13
  "In my dream of dreams, what would be possible for this day?
• 7:17
  What kind of joy or magic or adventure can I call into this day?
• 7:22
  One of the best ways to create this sense of possibility in your day is to go on
• 7:27
  an adventure.
• 7:28
  So go to a bookstore you've never been before or walk in a new area of the city
• 7:33
  you've never visited. Anytime we take an adventure and we expand our perception,
• 7:38
  we step out of our daily routines,
• 7:40
  we're opening ourselves up to greater possibility. So today,
• 7:45
  let life meet you with surprise and delights and open
• 7:50
  yourself up to the possibility that something really magical could happen.
• 7:55
  And if you ever struggle with seeing that possibility for yourself or the wider
• 8:00
  world,
• 8:01
  just go out in nature and let the earth show you what's possible.
• 8:06
  And this is exactly what my book Mirrors in the Earth is about.
• 8:10
  This book was written to help you see yourself through the
• 8:15
  reflection of nature,
• 8:17
  to understand who you are and the role you're meant to play on this planet and
• 8:21
  to start believing in possibilities again because the earth has never stopped
• 8:26
  believing in the possibilities of healing, of regeneration.
• 8:31
  And it's our role to start believing in possibility again,
• 8:34
  not only within our own lives, but within the earth as a whole.
• 8:41
  So always curious to hear
• 8:44
  from you about what's moving in your life.
• 8:47
  You can leave a comment here if you're in a space where you can leave comments
• 8:51
  or head over to my website, asiasuler.com/remember.
• 8:54
  And I would love to hear what is one possibility for you in life
• 8:59
  right now. For me,
• 9:02
  we recently went through a bit of a health scare
• 9:07
  arc with my daughter that was overwhelming and challenging,
• 9:11
  but also really gave us some answers to some things that we've been trying to
• 9:16
  figure out for her and for our family now for years.
• 9:20
  And I'm realizing that even within the
• 9:25
  hardship of that experience,
• 9:28
  there was this possibility that came out of it,
• 9:31
  this possibility of more clarity, this possibility of more information,
• 9:34
  this possibility of healing that didn't exist before.
• 9:38
  And I just want to mention this because I think so often when we see
• 9:43
  things go awry, go off the rails,
• 9:47
  we tend to feel like that closes down possibility. And
• 9:52
  instead, I think there's actually another way to look at it,
• 9:54
  which is that when things don't go as planned,
• 9:59
  it's actually not about taking away more possibilities for us.
• 10:02
  It's about opening us up to see the possibilities that we weren't able to
• 10:06
  glimpse before.
• 10:07
  And if we can approach the things that fall apart in our lives from that
• 10:10
  perspective, so much healing becomes possible. Now,
• 10:15
  I don't always have that at the center of my awareness,
• 10:18
  especially when I'm in the midst of something that's very overwhelming,
• 10:21
  but it's much easier for me to look back
• 10:26
  on those times where I was in the thick of it and really see the possibility.
• 10:29
  And so wherever you're at in your life,
• 10:31
  whether you're in the thick of something or you're able to look back with even
• 10:35
  just a step ahead,
• 10:36
  if you're resting perhaps in a river bend this month and
• 10:42
  able to look back on the waterfall of some aspect of your past,
• 10:46
  just take a moment to notice what possibilities arose out of that because
• 10:51
  I promise that there were possibilities that came from that that simply didn't
• 10:55
  exist before. Not only is your life filled with possibilities,
• 10:59
  but you yourself are a possibility in this world. This is why you were born,
• 11:04
  this is why you exist. You are possibility itself for this planet.
• 11:09
  And just by connecting to this word for yourself and within your life,
• 11:13
  you can also connect to the possibility that you carry for this world.
• 11:19
  So if you enjoy this episode,
• 11:21
  if you are liking this podcast and what it brings to your world,
• 11:25
  it would just mean so much to me.
• 11:27
  If you took a moment to leave a rating or review,
• 11:30
  it takes about two seconds to just press that little star button and it sends so
• 11:35
  much fairy dust my way. Thank you, thank you,
• 11:38
  thank you for everyone who has done this so far. It just really means so much.
• 11:43
  And as you step into seeing the possibilities despite it all
• 11:48
  in this month and this time ahead,
• 11:50
  may it help you remember that most important thing of all,
• 11:54
  why you're here.
