Transcript
- 0:00SPEAKER_02: Welcome to the Life In Flow podcast.
- 0:03The three of us,
- 0:05Yulia,
- 0:05Polina and Irina,
- 0:07are exploring what Life In Flow and Flow In Life is.
- 0:12Join us as we experiment,
- 0:15test our diverse hypotheses and 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_03: And we invite you to become an active participant in this experiment.
- 0:45SPEAKER_03: There will be pauses and moments of silence.
- 0:48SPEAKER_03: We leave them on purpose because this is where magic happens.
- 0:54SPEAKER_02: Go beyond the intellectual information.
- 0:57SPEAKER_02: 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 and energy flow together.
- 1:15SPEAKER_00: Hello everyone and welcome to the Life In Flow podcast.
- 1:21I'm Polina,
- 1:22I'm facilitating today and I'm joined by my two lovely co-hosts
- 1:28Yulia and Irina.
- 1:33and today hi girls and today we're exploring what does it mean
- 1:39to be a woman um
- 1:47today's intention that i'm putting out there just so that we're
- 1:51all on the same
- 1:51SPEAKER_00: page is that um this is just a gentle inquiry
- 2:00SPEAKER_00: The point is really to map the emotional and experiential landscape,
- 2:08SPEAKER_00: not to debate ideas,
- 2:11SPEAKER_00: not to go into the science of it all and the cultural aspects of it all.
- 2:16Well,
- 2:17we might go into those aspects,
- 2:18but from the very personal experiential lens.
- 2:26um this topic has come up in our conversations before in some
- 2:31various ways sort of
- 2:33kind of in the background we've already shared um and yet you
- 2:41know in my own life
- 2:42SPEAKER_00: right now it is a very alive topic and I don't know where I stand on it
- 2:53And I really wanted to create just a little bit of space to
- 2:59talk about something
- 3:00SPEAKER_00: that,
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: yes,
- 3:02there are books written about and there's other podcasts and
- 3:06there's experts
- 3:07SPEAKER_00: talking about it and there's lots of data,
- 3:14but it's not a topic that I get to really openly talk about
- 3:18with other women.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: And I'm really feeling a pull and a desire to start talking about it.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: Not for some answers or like it's an equation that we are solving,
- 3:34SPEAKER_00: but actually more to get to know
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: What do other women feel like about being a woman?
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: What does it mean to them?
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: I actually really don't know.
- 3:45SPEAKER_00: Just like I'm not sure even what I'm going to say today.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: I didn't prep for this conversation.
- 3:50SPEAKER_00: I just let it go.
- 3:52SPEAKER_00: Because this is just, I don't know, a little bit of an inquiry.
- 3:58SPEAKER_00: So to get started, let's do a little game as we usually do.
- 4:04SPEAKER_00: So just set the stage.
- 4:07we already did some centering before we started but just for
- 4:10whoever's listening
- 4:11with us i want to set the stage and ask everyone to take a
- 4:17breath and take a moment
- 4:19to arrive feel into one sensation you're feeling scan your body
- 4:30and feel into
- 4:34SPEAKER_00: Any sensations that are currently alive for you?
- 4:38SPEAKER_00: Be curious about it.
- 4:40SPEAKER_02: Where is that sensation?
- 4:42SPEAKER_00: What does it feel like?
- 4:43SPEAKER_00: What are the aspects of it?
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: And as we transition into the game,
- 4:53SPEAKER_00: I'm going to ask,
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: when you hear the word woman,
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: notice what comes alive first.
- 5:03in your body in your memory or in your sense of self locate
- 5:09whatever comes alive
- 5:11and we're gonna go in a circle and share what comes up and
- 5:17we're gonna pay
- 5:18attention to what each one of us shares in case it maybe
- 5:23triggers or opens up
- 5:24something new within us as we hear each other and we're just
- 5:29gonna stay very fluid
- 5:31SPEAKER_00: and flexible
- 5:33So we're sharing a body sensation,
- 5:36a memory or image,
- 5:38or an identity word or phrase.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: Okay, so when you hear the word woman, what comes alive first?
- 6:01SPEAKER_03: I have like a portal opening up in my chest and it's a light portal,
- 6:12SPEAKER_03: like bright light coming out of my chest.
- 6:21SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
- 6:25I'm sitting here today with an injured knee and I already
- 6:31thought that it might
- 6:35kind of like also co-create with me today as it's my state and
- 6:41I think that makes
- 6:43SPEAKER_02: me think when I hear a woman that makes me think about being cared for
- 6:54and it's something that feels soft that feels gentle that feels
- 7:04warm that feels
- 7:09SPEAKER_02: safe and that feels that it kind of melts you
- 7:17mmmm I'm letting all of that land in my system and my system
- 7:22likes it mmmm when I
- 7:31hear the word woman I also actually feel this reverberation and
- 7:41then like I start
- 7:42SPEAKER_00: tracking this
- 7:45I don't know energetic movement almost also like a portal but
- 7:50more like this space
- 7:51right here in the chest area and the reverberation feels like
- 8:00ooh woman magic
- 8:03SPEAKER_00: mystery
- 8:06SPEAKER_00: Cool, exciting?
- 8:08SPEAKER_00: What is it?
- 8:09SPEAKER_00: What does it mean?
- 8:10SPEAKER_00: It's like that kind of,
- 8:11SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 8:12SPEAKER_00: like when the molecules are moving,
- 8:14SPEAKER_00: but they don't know exactly.
- 8:16SPEAKER_00: They know it's charged.
- 8:17SPEAKER_00: They know there's power and energy there and it's cool and interesting,
- 8:21SPEAKER_01: but they're not quite sure where to land with it all.
- 8:29SPEAKER_00: Do we go on?
- 8:31SPEAKER_00: Yes, let's do one more round.
- 8:33SPEAKER_00: And when you hear the word woman,
- 8:37SPEAKER_00: What comes alive?
- 8:43SPEAKER_03: When I was listening to you,
- 8:44SPEAKER_03: Paulina,
- 8:45SPEAKER_03: what I felt is it's like a field that opened up around my lower body.
- 9:01SPEAKER_03: It was like this fear filled with
- 9:07Deep night and the cosmos and many many stars and it's infinite
- 9:16but the like the
- 9:17infinity that goes within it has like the borders the limits
- 9:25from the outside but
- 9:26SPEAKER_01: it's infinite inside how cool okay now
- 9:37Ira you going into elements make me think about how woman how
- 9:55it plays and engages
- 9:58SPEAKER_02: with the air but also woman
- 10:06it is very flowy and woman for me is something very flowy and
- 10:14watery we lost you on
- 10:17a really cool moment of woo okay so woo woman for me is about
- 10:31lightness and air and
- 10:35SPEAKER_02: engaging with air and then woman.
- 10:42SPEAKER_02: It's very soft flow and it makes me think about water.
- 10:49SPEAKER_03: And I think about water a lot, period.
- 10:54But now again,
- 10:55I'm thinking about how women are especially watery creatures
- 11:05maybe.
- 11:07SPEAKER_02: Water creatures?
- 11:08SPEAKER_00: Watery creatures.
- 11:10SPEAKER_00: Watery creatures, yeah.
- 11:17SPEAKER_00: I was sharing when you were off camera for a sec,
- 11:20SPEAKER_00: I was sharing that when you got stuck with your woo,
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: it brought up for me this,
- 11:26SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: like the woof,
- 11:29SPEAKER_00: the woof.
- 11:30SPEAKER_01: Ah, woof.
- 11:33Howling at the moon I am woman It was really cool with this
- 11:44vastness within borders
- 11:46of my skin and my fur but it's infinite inside and I howl at
- 11:52the moon At the moon
- 11:59SPEAKER_02: and maybe with the moon
- 12:01SPEAKER_02: I guess the moon penetrates me and you and other women yeah and the water
- 12:11reverberates on the lake that's holding the image of the moon
- 12:17as I howl the watery
- 12:20creature and the water looks like a field of emeralds like
- 12:27shimmering emeralds
- 12:42And I have the sensation of like being over this water or this
- 12:50lake this air it's
- 12:54SPEAKER_03: the air spirit it's the like light
- 13:06SPEAKER_03: but I also have a phrase that maybe have a less playful more like social
- 13:16connotation that came to my mind when Yulia started talking
- 13:21about water so it's a
- 13:24SPEAKER_03: phrase from the song of the very famous in Russia aquarium group
- 13:32which says you are like water you always take the form of the
- 13:38one with whom you are
- 13:42and I always associated these words with myself but curiously
- 13:49enough all women with
- 13:52whom I discussed it they also said that they associate these
- 13:57words with them
- 14:02If we're bringing that in,
- 14:04that really resonates and reverberates through my system.
- 14:08I can feel it like little goosebumps on the top edges of my
- 14:14skin where the skin meets the air.
- 14:23SPEAKER_00: So woman inspires so many different things when we hear
- 14:28SPEAKER_00: The word when we engage with it.
- 14:31SPEAKER_00: I heard warmth, comfort.
- 14:35SPEAKER_00: I heard a portal of light.
- 14:38SPEAKER_01: I heard deep night and stars and infinity that is within the borders.
- 14:46SPEAKER_01: That's limitless.
- 14:48SPEAKER_01: I heard woo, air.
- 14:54and the wolf howling at the moon and emeralds reflecting on the
- 14:59water and the air
- 15:05SPEAKER_01: and spirit and light and that water takes shape of the one it's with.
- 15:18SPEAKER_02: What wants to be added now is
- 15:25this feeling that I have of very concentrated mysterious dark
- 15:35matter dark matter
- 15:37that can I guess create but can also destroy like the energy
- 15:49that is or the course
- 15:50SPEAKER_02: of
- 15:54Life and history that is not there to be only good or only for
- 16:05something but for
- 16:07everything and so I think it's a little bit like nature yeah
- 16:17and I immediately
- 16:18SPEAKER_03: think about Kali slaying demons yeah
- 16:24And I think of the rage of the wolf Ready to pounce and protect
- 16:31Although it's
- 16:32actually not true I don't know if it's true Because they're
- 16:35afraid of new things So
- 16:36I don't know But I like to imagine The growl of the wolf That
- 16:44will protect its
- 16:45SPEAKER_01: young And The energy of
- 16:52the feminine that is never satiated because she wants to keep
- 16:55creating and birthing
- 16:57SPEAKER_01: anew and more and the energetics of the bitch.
- 17:10SPEAKER_03: Oh, I like the bitch, huh?
- 17:13SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the bitch that has power and energy.
- 17:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I have a part of me that I address the bitch.
- 17:33SPEAKER_03: It's very curious that your two bitches, they sound quite differently.
- 17:39SPEAKER_03: And it brings me to my sensation of holding everything together.
- 17:49SPEAKER_03: So I feel like all this...
- 17:52Yulia Bogdanova yulia Bogdanova Yulia Bogdanova Yulia Bogdanova
- 17:56Yulia Bogdanova
- 17:59SPEAKER_03: Yulia Bogdanova Yulia Bogdanova Yulia Bogdanova
- 18:20it's all at the same time yeah it feels very rich very rich it
- 18:30really just
- 18:32penetrates your skin and powerful it penetrates the field and
- 18:41it penetrates itself
- 18:44SPEAKER_01: wow
- 18:47SPEAKER_01: Penetration all around in the most scary and the most delightful ways.
- 19:02SPEAKER_00: Do you want to add anything else before we transition to the next part?
- 19:11SPEAKER_00: Wings.
- 19:13SPEAKER_00: What?
- 19:14SPEAKER_00: I have wings.
- 19:16SPEAKER_03: Ooh, wings.
- 19:20SPEAKER_03: What color?
- 19:23SPEAKER_03: They are made of light.
- 19:26SPEAKER_01: Ooh.
- 19:30SPEAKER_01: I have fangs.
- 19:33SPEAKER_01: They're made of crystal.
- 19:35SPEAKER_01: Ooh.
- 19:40SPEAKER_02: I have claws.
- 19:45SPEAKER_01: What are they made of?
- 19:50SPEAKER_01: They are wildcats claws I see bones
- 20:12so there's lots of interesting sensations and layers that are
- 20:18already present and
- 20:20images and emotions and it feels very very rich super cool um
- 20:36i'm just trying to
- 20:37SPEAKER_00: tune into what's what's the next best
- 20:43SPEAKER_01: It is about that sensation that I described.
- 21:13all in everything in my field like being everything at once in
- 21:27the universe and
- 21:33what does it feel like the like physical sensation if there is
- 21:36a expansion but at
- 21:40SPEAKER_03: the same
- 21:42like when very pronounced center of gravity in the center
- 21:53myself so it's it's very
- 21:56SPEAKER_03: stable expansion
- 22:18SPEAKER_02: To me,
- 22:20SPEAKER_02: first of all,
- 22:21it feels dark and concentrated without any connotations of that
- 22:29being positive or
- 22:30SPEAKER_02: negative.
- 22:33It has weight to it,
- 22:38heaviness,
- 22:41but it's not the heaviness that is hard to carry.
- 22:49SPEAKER_02: Maybe it speaks to the center,
- 22:56SPEAKER_02: the heaviness that keeps the center grounded,
- 22:59SPEAKER_02: like Ida mentioned.
- 23:03And to me it's the sensation that I get is in the lower part of
- 23:11my chest and maybe
- 23:14SPEAKER_02: the side ribs.
- 23:19where I feel a lot of strength or this shape-shifting energy
- 23:35and if that energy is
- 23:37SPEAKER_02: not given space then it's gonna break things
- 24:00As I connect to power and what does power feel like in my body
- 24:08as a woman?
- 24:14SPEAKER_00: I feel energy
- 24:20Responding in both of my nipples and then I feel energy in the
- 24:30you know the root
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: chakra space and then I feel this energetic kind of circle that those
- 24:50Areas kind of combine together into a circle and then I feel
- 24:56like that energy has
- 24:58freedom to travel to different parts of my system depending on
- 25:04what's required.
- 25:06SPEAKER_00: Do I require the power of love?
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: Then that's more than my breasts.
- 25:12SPEAKER_00: Do I require the power of force?
- 25:17SPEAKER_00: Then the energy goes down to the root.
- 25:21do I require submission then the energy goes into my solar
- 25:28plexus so it's actually
- 25:31really cool it gets to travel and get different flavors of
- 25:37strength and power
- 25:40SPEAKER_00: depending on what's needed
- 25:59SPEAKER_00: When do you feel most powerful?
- 26:18SPEAKER_00: And I do want you to reflect on it from the lens of woman,
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: whatever that brings up in your system.
- 26:26SPEAKER_00: When do you feel most powerful as a woman?
- 26:30I felt the most powerful in the sacral liminal spaces of
- 26:44inaction with my goddesses.
- 26:50SPEAKER_03: Especially with Ishtar Can you say more?
- 26:59Well that is like when I feel this like expansion and that like
- 27:13I am the most
- 27:14SPEAKER_03: powerful being in the world
- 27:20that holds the walls itself and it's like there is this core
- 27:33the center that holds
- 27:35gravity of this expansion and it's light and the wings of light
- 27:43they're also coming
- 27:44SPEAKER_03: from that space
- 27:48SPEAKER_02: So are you saying,
- 27:49did you say that it's during some rituals or time when you
- 27:55invoke this goddess that
- 27:57SPEAKER_02: you feel like?
- 27:58SPEAKER_03: Yeah,
- 27:58it's more the trance states I don't perform the rituals per se
- 28:07they like some
- 28:11SPEAKER_03: ritualistic visualizations that allow me to connect with this energy
- 28:20To commune with the deity When you connect to them is when you
- 28:24actually get it
- 28:25sounds like right that you get access to this yeah energy of
- 28:30power and gravity and
- 28:32all of that is contained within I guess just not only within
- 28:37your being but also
- 28:40within the being of what you're connecting to and channeling
- 28:43that's even beyond
- 28:44SPEAKER_00: yeah yeah
- 28:45Yeah,
- 28:46but that is the thing that when I'm connecting with her,
- 28:50I'm becoming her.
- 28:54SPEAKER_03: So it's the energy that is bigger than me,
- 28:58SPEAKER_03: that it's coming from the outside,
- 29:01SPEAKER_03: but I'm becoming it.
- 29:04SPEAKER_03: Actually, the constant message that I'm being...
- 29:12laughed with during this context the last couple of years
- 29:19exactly that this is the
- 29:21state that I need to train in myself yeah cool Yul how about
- 29:32you when do you feel
- 29:34most powerful I have a very complicated relationship with power
- 29:39to say the least
- 29:45I think for a long time including to certain degree now still I
- 30:01ignored hid or even
- 30:06SPEAKER_02: denounced my power and
- 30:14Thinking about this question I think it's quite challenging for
- 30:22me so I do have
- 30:25moments when I feel the power One category is when I'm able to
- 30:40stay with my center
- 30:43of the gravity and hold on to this shapeshifting force and
- 30:51shapeshift with it.
- 30:52So basically when everything and everyone is losing their mind
- 31:04and among the chaos,
- 31:07SPEAKER_02: I can feel like,
- 31:09SPEAKER_02: wow,
- 31:09SPEAKER_02: I can actually
- 31:11hold myself and to a certain extent the space I think the most
- 31:23nourishing space for
- 31:26me to feel the power is connecting with the elements and doing
- 31:30that by direct
- 31:33SPEAKER_02: engagement like hugging trees
- 31:41Digging soil with my hands Floating in the water or just
- 31:47sitting by the water and
- 31:49gazing forever or moving like water that I'm now training with
- 31:58this guy who I think
- 32:00I mentioned here maybe who's about water who says that humans
- 32:05are bags of breathing
- 32:07SPEAKER_02: water
- 32:10my god and just bring so such rich experience of remembering
- 32:20myself and my origins
- 32:23SPEAKER_02: as water and also remembering the power
- 32:43SPEAKER_03: I must say that what I perceive from Yulia,
- 32:47from Yulia's power is very like it's like quiet power but very
- 32:54powerful like very
- 32:56stable like the power that holds space Thank you And the power
- 33:08that connects to the
- 33:10SPEAKER_00: elements
- 33:12and has the ability to shape shift and shift into sensations of
- 33:23either recognition
- 33:24or understanding or being part of the elements is what I was
- 33:29hearing and how you
- 33:31SPEAKER_00: were sharing it being with the tree being
- 33:35SPEAKER_00: within of the water being off being off.
- 33:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 33:43SPEAKER_00: Cool.
- 33:53SPEAKER_00: I think I feel most powerful.
- 33:58SPEAKER_00: Um,
- 34:07SPEAKER_00: When I am able to really tune in to someone,
- 34:14SPEAKER_00: to something,
- 34:16SPEAKER_00: to energetics and not just understand it,
- 34:22SPEAKER_00: but like really move with it,
- 34:29SPEAKER_00: vibrate with it,
- 34:29SPEAKER_00: really like,
- 34:30SPEAKER_00: like get it.
- 34:33SPEAKER_00: And
- 34:34Appreciate it like appreciate all the nuances and all of the
- 34:38complexity and all of
- 34:40the juiciness and the meat and feel like I can touch that
- 34:48juiciness and meat
- 34:49somehow literally like my breasts are on fire right now I'm
- 34:53feeling like there's
- 34:54SPEAKER_00: energetics like just being able to perceive the beauty the nuance the
- 35:05the rich complexity the way things shift and move and I when I
- 35:10do that with it
- 35:13makes me feel like ah this is so cool there's power here
- 35:19there's recognition here
- 35:20SPEAKER_00: there's aliveness here
- 35:32SPEAKER_00: And the more I start feeling my physical body within these experiences,
- 35:38which has been coming online over the last like one year or two
- 35:42more and more,
- 35:43SPEAKER_00: the more embodied it becomes,
- 35:47SPEAKER_00: but also richer,
- 35:49SPEAKER_00: but also like way more experiential and not just like data in my mind,
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: but like really energetic data throughout the whole system.
- 36:01and I'm really allowing myself to speak from how that energy
- 36:05moves and that's power
- 36:12too that's where I get my power when I let myself be whatever
- 36:17the freak I am at
- 36:19this moment in time however my body or my system wants to
- 36:24express itself when I
- 36:25SPEAKER_00: allow it to do so without worry of self
- 36:31Recrimination or judgment or how it's going to land on someone
- 36:36else,
- 36:36that is power.
- 36:49SPEAKER_00: And when do you feel your power drain?
- 36:53SPEAKER_00: Sorry, Yuli, you wanted to say something.
- 36:55SPEAKER_00: Tell me.
- 37:00So I sometimes write this very very short pieces of prose or
- 37:10poetry I don't know
- 37:11what they're called and one of them was when I'm not afforded
- 37:20approximately the
- 37:22idea because Pauline it's something that resonated with what
- 37:24you said when you're
- 37:25SPEAKER_02: allowed to express whatever it is
- 37:29it was when I am not afforded my true shape I start to to leak
- 37:47to break but then at
- 37:48the end I start to predate as well that was like the ending
- 37:55there was a list of
- 37:56SPEAKER_02: different verbs how they
- 38:00describing the flow of this state when my true shape is not
- 38:07afforded by usually the
- 38:11SPEAKER_02: human environment.
- 38:15SPEAKER_02: So true shape is super cool.
- 38:18and I love that you're already taking it into this next
- 38:21question I have so like
- 38:22when you're not afforded your true shape wait first of all I
- 38:25want to know more can
- 38:26you give me more details about that what does that mean what is
- 38:29your true shape
- 38:30what does that show up like you never know because it's
- 38:36shifting right so meaning
- 38:40like just the ability to express whatever is yeah exactly and
- 38:46alive for me right
- 38:47SPEAKER_00: now whether it's
- 38:49SPEAKER_00: Softness or fucking rage.
- 38:52SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 38:53SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 38:54SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 38:55SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 38:56And afforded you mean when you're surrounded by people that are
- 38:59not able to hold
- 39:00space and just witness and approve of whatever it is that's
- 39:04alive for you.
- 39:05SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 39:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 39:07SPEAKER_02: I mean, like the range of reactions can be very wide.
- 39:13SPEAKER_02: We humans,
- 39:15SPEAKER_02: I think,
- 39:15have so many ways of not affording the true shape of the other
- 39:23It can be quiet,
- 39:23SPEAKER_02: it can be loud,
- 39:24SPEAKER_02: it can be aggressive,
- 39:26SPEAKER_02: it can be gentle,
- 39:28SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 39:28SPEAKER_00: so many ways And it seems to be mostly the name of the game
- 39:36SPEAKER_00: if we are to look at the standard of how things operate.
- 39:40But I want to come back to you actually already started
- 39:43answering my next question
- 39:44SPEAKER_00: of this leak of power.
- 39:47SPEAKER_00: Can you tell me more about the leak of power?
- 39:49SPEAKER_00: How do you experience it when you're not afforded your true shape?
- 40:01SPEAKER_02: Yes, there is a leak somewhere and I think it has to do with the
- 40:08the center the ability to sense hold on and ground in my center
- 40:18and recently I've
- 40:21been having experiences of very physical in nature I mean
- 40:26groundedness is very
- 40:28SPEAKER_02: physical in nature even more so that where in my if my physical shape
- 40:38changes and this again like i've been doing it for a long time
- 40:43but somehow now this
- 40:44um experience of my core like physical core i mean not like the
- 40:52center core but
- 40:53more my my um stomach like lowest stomach this is where um if i
- 41:04have a hard time
- 41:07feeling it and allowing it this kind of like pulsating quality
- 41:14of being alive and
- 41:16at the same time strong if I can do that then that means I'm
- 41:22probably gonna have
- 41:25SPEAKER_02: the you know whatever else is required emotionally or cognitively
- 41:35SPEAKER_02: to express myself or my truth.
- 41:38But if I'm losing that visceral connection,
- 41:45then it's how the leak happens.
- 41:48SPEAKER_02: One of the things that comes to mind.
- 41:50SPEAKER_02: I'm sure there are more.
- 41:53so when you're not afforded the space and the honor and the
- 41:58time to express
- 42:00yourself it sounds like you're you're saying that you actually
- 42:04lose that visceral
- 42:05connection in your stomach right lower stomach area and then
- 42:09the next thing that
- 42:10SPEAKER_00: happens is like there's a loss of cognitive function or loss of
- 42:16Connection to Emotions right so there's like it I have this
- 42:19like sensation of like
- 42:21energy leaking down the cauldron right lack of words lack of
- 42:27coherence yeah yeah
- 42:30SPEAKER_02: yeah forgetting things I didn't ever know could be forgotten yeah
- 42:39So brain fog not as a function of a leaky gut because you're
- 42:44not eating right but
- 42:46brain fog as a function of a leaky gut because your life force
- 42:51is escaping because
- 42:52you're not being witnessed and held and approved in whatever
- 42:57your experience is A
- 43:01SPEAKER_02: good way to say it Yeah Thank you for sharing
- 43:09SPEAKER_00: Here, how about you?
- 43:11SPEAKER_03: Named the conditions of losing power.
- 43:19In my case,
- 43:20it is when I condition myself too much on what the other people
- 43:33think.
- 43:40The expectations of the others regarding me that always live
- 43:49exclusively in my
- 43:50SPEAKER_03: head,
- 43:52SPEAKER_03: but they're powerful enough to rip me off my power.
- 44:04SPEAKER_00: And how does that happen, the ridding of your power?
- 44:07SPEAKER_00: What is your actual physical embodied experience of that?
- 44:18SPEAKER_03: That would be different depending on the circumstances.
- 44:24The somatic experience could be very different,
- 44:27but it is the lack of that expansion and
- 44:33the center of gravity that holds the expansion and the
- 44:38awareness that I am
- 44:43everything that exists that is the lack of power it's the lack
- 44:49of the sensation so
- 44:51SPEAKER_00: in those moments you feel like
- 44:55SPEAKER_00: You're really small, and what are the other emotional markers?
- 45:02It's not necessarily that I'm small,
- 45:07but I'm dependent on the opinions of the others.
- 45:17SPEAKER_00: So you don't have shape?
- 45:19SPEAKER_00: So the shape you are holding in those moments?
- 45:23SPEAKER_00: That phrase?
- 45:26that I shared in the game,
- 45:28yes,
- 45:28it is about that,
- 45:30like,
- 45:31taking the shape of the other.
- 45:40SPEAKER_03: Like, this game is twofold, because I believe that they can
- 45:52SPEAKER_03: Play this game from the place of my own power.
- 45:56SPEAKER_03: Because I choose to take the shape of the other.
- 46:04But most of the time I do it to find this approval and to
- 46:12facilitate the affordance
- 46:16SPEAKER_03: of myself for the other.
- 46:18SPEAKER_03: Hmm...
- 46:22SPEAKER_03: That is like giving up my power from the start
- 46:34SPEAKER_00: Yeah,
- 46:34so it sounds like the choice about the shape you choose to take
- 46:40is where like the
- 46:42SPEAKER_00: crux of the power energetics lies.
- 46:45SPEAKER_00: Am I choosing this because I want to for my own personal desire for me,
- 46:51SPEAKER_00: for my pleasure,
- 46:52SPEAKER_00: for my satisfaction,
- 46:53SPEAKER_00: for my needs to be met?
- 46:55SPEAKER_00: Or am I doing this to satisfy their needs?
- 47:01To mold and shift into their reality Which then is no longer my
- 47:08personal choice It
- 47:09SPEAKER_00: still could be powerful,
- 47:12the ability to do that I feel like that's a natural power that
- 47:17we have But if it's
- 47:19SPEAKER_00: not from choice Exactly,
- 47:22SPEAKER_00: it's the lack of choice The lack of choice Yeah Cool
- 47:33SPEAKER_00: What about you?
- 47:36Thank you for asking I think There's of course different leaks
- 47:48depending on
- 47:49circumstances just like you said and different ways that power
- 47:53leaks for me One way
- 48:01That power leaks is actually quite a dichotomy because it's
- 48:06both a strength and it
- 48:07can be a huge weakness depending on how I regulate around it
- 48:12and like how I move
- 48:14SPEAKER_00: with it.
- 48:14So if I am trying to be understood and I'm sharing and I'm
- 48:23expressing but the
- 48:25SPEAKER_00: person on the other side is
- 48:29SPEAKER_00: unwilling to make any room for my perspective at all.
- 48:37SPEAKER_00: And if I feel like this is a very reasonable,
- 48:40I'm like really doing a good job making room for myself and
- 48:45really explaining it in
- 48:46SPEAKER_00: very concrete,
- 48:48SPEAKER_00: like the best language I have from all my training,
- 48:53SPEAKER_00: all of the knowledge and the ability and the person
- 48:58is either not capable because their brain or their mind just
- 49:02cannot stretch in that
- 49:03SPEAKER_00: direction or they're unwilling,
- 49:05SPEAKER_00: which is even worse and it makes me even crazier.
- 49:10SPEAKER_00: That crazy sensation of,
- 49:13especially when someone is actually choosing not to engage or
- 49:19understand or make
- 49:20SPEAKER_00: room,
- 49:20SPEAKER_00: I start feeling like,
- 49:22SPEAKER_00: oh my God,
- 49:23SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna lose my freaking mind.
- 49:31SPEAKER_00: If that goes into the land of, am I not doing good enough?
- 49:43SPEAKER_00: Am I not smart enough?
- 49:44SPEAKER_00: Am I not saying the right things?
- 49:47SPEAKER_00: Is there something wrong with me?
- 49:49SPEAKER_00: That's when my power starts to leak.
- 49:53SPEAKER_00: But if I can hold space,
- 49:57and have my own back and witness myself in a situation where
- 50:04there is no external
- 50:05witness available and I can hold space for their inability or
- 50:14unwillingness and I
- 50:15could still hold space for what I know to be true then I can
- 50:22contain my energy and
- 50:24SPEAKER_00: my power
- 50:26And then the power turns more inward It's more of like a So I'm
- 50:30like I'm shifting
- 50:32it out Because I want to be understood and connect But it's not
- 50:35landing So I'm
- 50:36going to shift it back in And I'm going to fill myself back up
- 50:40And it'll be like
- 50:41this kind of experience Up and down Versus leaking If I'm going
- 50:47into victim Or sad
- 50:49SPEAKER_00: You know What's wrong with me And then my power leaks
- 50:58but in what you're saying makes me think about power leak or
- 51:05power escaping me when
- 51:09I choose not to use it or not to recognize it not to
- 51:17acknowledge it and whether
- 51:23it's because the pressure goes higher or because it just the
- 51:32power doesn't want to
- 51:34SPEAKER_02: stick around in this in these circumstances yeah and so it asks for
- 51:51respect and acknowledgement the power in this way and one more
- 51:57thing that happens
- 52:00and it also it's also something that you mentioned the question
- 52:06is it about me what
- 52:09was the question that you said you were asking yourself is
- 52:13something wrong with me
- 52:15or something like that right when the other person was not you
- 52:17know doesn't get it
- 52:18SPEAKER_02: doesn't want to get and
- 52:21SPEAKER_02: The question for me is Is it about me at this moment?
- 52:28SPEAKER_02: Because if it's about me then that is for me is a leak.
- 52:35SPEAKER_02: Totally.
- 52:36If it's about something bigger and not losing touch with the
- 52:41interconnectedness and
- 52:42with the elements and with the bigger pulse of life that I
- 52:46believe holds space for
- 52:47SPEAKER_02: me always when I choose to
- 52:51remember that then there are more chances for the power to
- 53:00stick around and when
- 53:04you say when it's about me that's when the power leak happens
- 53:08can you elaborate how
- 53:11SPEAKER_00: does when it's about me show up for you what does it mean it means
- 53:21is about me meaning that this I'm in my human shell now one
- 53:30person it is about my
- 53:35not desire but it's very for me it feels like almost something
- 53:48selfish I don't know
- 53:49SPEAKER_02: and at the same time
- 53:52um is it about me very isolating it has to be about something
- 54:01bigger than me it's
- 54:07like you know desires a different desires if some of the
- 54:11desires are bigger than me
- 54:13SPEAKER_02: some of the desires um actually
- 54:17Power draining but also with interactions with the humans and
- 54:24the human world I my
- 54:33experiences are I don't want to be to be alone I don't want to
- 54:37be the alone me I
- 54:42SPEAKER_02: want to have um
- 54:45the help and support of the elements and of the bigger life So
- 54:56when you say it has
- 54:57to be bigger than you you mean this is when you have the
- 55:03connection to your power
- 55:05SPEAKER_03: if it's bigger than you
- 55:08SPEAKER_00: So every time it's really about you,
- 55:12SPEAKER_00: like a smaller scale desire that is just for you,
- 55:16SPEAKER_00: it's automatically a power leak?
- 55:26SPEAKER_02: It's, it's vulnerable.
- 55:31SPEAKER_02: It becomes a power leak under certain circumstances.
- 55:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 55:39SPEAKER_00: Wait, would you mind sharing?
- 55:41SPEAKER_00: What are those circumstances that actually shifted down the leak lane?
- 55:47SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 55:47SPEAKER_02: Any pressure?
- 55:48SPEAKER_02: Any other people or desires of others that get into the picture?
- 55:55SPEAKER_02: Then I prefer to not go with mine.
- 56:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 56:04SPEAKER_00: Thank you for sharing.
- 56:09SPEAKER_00: Okay,
- 56:11now I want to transition to the next piece of this conversation
- 56:17and ask what parts
- 56:20of you feel like you when we interact with woman and what feels
- 56:28like it is learned.
- 56:30SPEAKER_00: And this is a big question, I get it.
- 56:32SPEAKER_00: We could talk for seven episodes just on this question.
- 56:36So I'm just curious to get a little taste of where you are
- 56:42currently sitting with this.
- 56:45SPEAKER_00: And maybe we will have more discussions later, but I just, I wanna know.
- 56:53Say when you interact with woman,
- 56:56you mean when I interact with the concept of woman?
- 57:00SPEAKER_00: Well, I am woman.
- 57:01SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I am woman.
- 57:04SPEAKER_00: What part feels like really you?
- 57:06SPEAKER_00: It's your own personal,
- 57:08unique experience of what that is and what it feels like it's
- 57:12learned and it's
- 57:14SPEAKER_00: cultural,
- 57:15SPEAKER_00: societal,
- 57:18SPEAKER_00: adopted,
- 57:20SPEAKER_00: but not quite you.
- 57:24SPEAKER_00: And maybe you don't have this experience at all.
- 57:26SPEAKER_00: So everything is welcome.
- 57:27SPEAKER_00: I'm really just curious to see how the two of you sit with this question.
- 57:42SPEAKER_03: The thing is that everything that
- 57:47I've been adapted from the society,
- 57:49from my family history,
- 57:52from my own experience.
- 57:57SPEAKER_03: It forms my perception of me.
- 57:59SPEAKER_03: So everything is me.
- 58:12SPEAKER_03: Then it is the matter,
- 58:14SPEAKER_03: as we discussed before,
- 58:15whether do I have a choice to choose the shape I want to be in
- 58:22at this particular
- 58:23SPEAKER_03: moment in this specific circumstances?
- 58:27SPEAKER_03: Do I have the connection to my power or not?
- 58:33SPEAKER_03: And of course there are certain things that
- 58:41SPEAKER_03: My energy,
- 58:42SPEAKER_03: my personal space,
- 58:45my perception of me has absorbed transpersonally and personally
- 58:53that lead me
- 58:56SPEAKER_03: automatically to the place of no power.
- 59:09SPEAKER_03: But again, it's
- 59:11it's also the matter of like transcendence again it just you
- 59:23like I don't know if
- 59:28SPEAKER_03: One of the examples,
- 59:30SPEAKER_03: for example,
- 59:32SPEAKER_03: it's not about learning,
- 59:33but it's like these are circumstances that are given and
- 59:39difficult to be avoided,
- 59:42SPEAKER_03: like the menopause.
- 59:45So I have entered this period when I have to deal with all the
- 59:53changes in my body
- 59:55SPEAKER_03: and in my energy system and
- 59:59SPEAKER_03: It really, when it hit me, it was very, very hard.
- 1:00:04SPEAKER_03: It was a very difficult time.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_03: Physically, first of all.
- 1:00:12SPEAKER_03: And it did feel like a leak of power.
- 1:00:16SPEAKER_03: Like I was totally helpless and like everything hurt and
- 1:00:27it was horrible but curiously enough the message the first
- 1:00:36message that I have
- 1:00:37received I received from my goddesses regarding this was that I
- 1:00:46need to learn what
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_03: was the word
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_03: to integrate my power from this.
- 1:00:59SPEAKER_03: So this is the transition for integration of my power.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_03: My interpretation of that was before the menopause,
- 1:01:16a lot of energy is directed in the organism of a woman into
- 1:01:21maintenance of the
- 1:01:23SPEAKER_03: reproductive system.
- 1:01:26when the menopause starts or perimenopause whatever terminology
- 1:01:31we would be using
- 1:01:33when we enter into this transition this energy liberates when
- 1:01:40there is no need for
- 1:01:42reproduction anymore all of a sudden we have a lot of energy
- 1:01:48that we can learn
- 1:01:52SPEAKER_03: direct to wherever we
- 1:01:56we need it for but it's not just tricky it's a very difficult
- 1:02:05transition but this
- 1:02:09is the place that it seems that I don't have a choice because
- 1:02:17the circumstances are
- 1:02:18SPEAKER_03: given but my choice is about how I live it and what I do with it
- 1:02:25And so you can go from the place of seemingly feeling of having
- 1:02:33no power at all,
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_03: losing your power into like integrating your power.
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_03: I'm not there yet.
- 1:02:39SPEAKER_03: This is just a theory.
- 1:02:41SPEAKER_03: I'm still working on it.
- 1:02:45And can I ask you how in what you described what's the
- 1:02:49reflection point of what
- 1:02:51SPEAKER_00: feels like you and what feels like it's a learned aspect of woman of this
- 1:02:57transition do you have a separation or is this also all
- 1:03:04together all of it is you
- 1:03:07know like for example in this transition I'm also learning so
- 1:03:12everything what is me
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_03: is
- 1:03:15somehow learned because I'm learning to be myself even if I'm
- 1:03:26when I'm going back
- 1:03:28to my power if like we can describe it it's still learned I
- 1:03:36love that that's
- 1:03:37SPEAKER_00: actually really cool a cool perspective yeah thank you for sharing
- 1:03:44SPEAKER_00: What about you, Yul?
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_00: What parts of you, if any, feel like you versus learned, potentially?
- 1:03:52SPEAKER_02: Well, I first want to speak to learned.
- 1:03:56SPEAKER_02: The question I'm contemplating is, is it learned or is it remembered?
- 1:04:05SPEAKER_02: Because if we go to the morphic resonance theory, right, so we
- 1:04:12don't learn per se but rather we remember and where we remember
- 1:04:20from depends but I
- 1:04:22guess for each of us access to different types of remembrances
- 1:04:32is there so the
- 1:04:33SPEAKER_02: access is different because that's how some things feel to me it's like
- 1:04:40remembering for example when i had an obsession with gardening
- 1:04:47and with foraging
- 1:04:48and with herbs that really hit me last summer it just hit me it
- 1:04:54just like took me
- 1:04:56and it was i didn't i think i couldn't really control that
- 1:05:02power um and it felt
- 1:05:05SPEAKER_02: like there was in this interaction there was
- 1:05:10SPEAKER_02: Remembrance.
- 1:05:13SPEAKER_02: And also,
- 1:05:15SPEAKER_02: when I think about your question,
- 1:05:16SPEAKER_02: Pauline,
- 1:05:18SPEAKER_02: what is mine,
- 1:05:19SPEAKER_02: what is not mine,
- 1:05:20SPEAKER_02: I just actually let me own it all.
- 1:05:28I would say the things that I have experienced or I have
- 1:05:33engaged with or I have lived through
- 1:05:37their mind whether I wanted it initially was willing with
- 1:05:43willingness I entered you
- 1:05:45know relationships or not so it's all mine and so that's a wide
- 1:05:51range but again
- 1:05:52about remembering the question I'm asking is what may I not
- 1:05:58remember about myself
- 1:06:05SPEAKER_02: because
- 1:06:07at one point or actually for most of my life now I realize I
- 1:06:17had not I didn't
- 1:06:19remember anything hardly anything of my true self of my like
- 1:06:30you know whatever like
- 1:06:30SPEAKER_02: natural inclinations or
- 1:06:36that thing that gives you a sense of being they were just not
- 1:06:43accessible to me I
- 1:06:45think I just shielded myself from it forgot you know whatever
- 1:06:51how that happened so
- 1:06:53this is how I would answer then the question is it's what's in
- 1:07:01my field and in my
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_02: recognized
- 1:07:05and the recognized repertoire that I'm conscious of versus what
- 1:07:13else is out there
- 1:07:14and some exciting stuff probably that I would want to remember
- 1:07:21but I don't yet.
- 1:07:24SPEAKER_01: I love that.
- 1:07:39makes me think about like the other example I was avoiding
- 1:07:46talking about when I
- 1:07:49SPEAKER_03: talked before about what is me and what is learned is so boom
- 1:08:11SPEAKER_03: Biggest part of my life,
- 1:08:13SPEAKER_03: my body carried within itself the symptoms of the sexual trauma,
- 1:08:26SPEAKER_03: which I didn't experience actually in my life.
- 1:08:30SPEAKER_03: So like I didn't have the experience, but I did have the trauma.
- 1:08:35SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 1:08:38So I like this question about what I'm not remembering about
- 1:08:43myself and what else
- 1:08:44is out there because so like expanding the perception of myself
- 1:08:56beyond my limited
- 1:08:59SPEAKER_03: identity is what taught me actually to
- 1:09:08overcome the trauma and to overcome my relationship with the
- 1:09:15topic of sex.
- 1:09:17And it actually also led me to this perception of the point of
- 1:09:28power and the
- 1:09:29SPEAKER_03: connection to the goddess's energy.
- 1:09:34SPEAKER_03: It is related to my path to
- 1:09:38remembering more than just the symptoms of the trauma but
- 1:09:42related to the same
- 1:09:47physical perception of this experience I love these questions
- 1:10:02what answers out
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_03: there
- 1:10:04for sure this is not where I thought the discussion would go
- 1:10:08but wow I love it I
- 1:10:10couldn't have even imagined that this is what the two of you
- 1:10:13would say and you know
- 1:10:15bring into the space so freaking cool so now I'm just sitting
- 1:10:25there and I'm very
- 1:10:26SPEAKER_02: curious in what you have said is this traumatic experiences so is it
- 1:10:37SPEAKER_02: Expansion?
- 1:10:38Well,
- 1:10:38it grows the container,
- 1:10:42but then it changes the context or the form and shape.
- 1:10:47SPEAKER_02: So can you just help me?
- 1:10:50SPEAKER_03: It's really very complex topics,
- 1:10:55SPEAKER_03: but for example,
- 1:10:56SPEAKER_03: one part of it is,
- 1:10:58SPEAKER_03: and it's all conditioned by the certain worldview,
- 1:11:02SPEAKER_03: which not everyone would share,
- 1:11:04SPEAKER_03: but in my case,
- 1:11:06at least like how I untangled it is I discovered that the
- 1:11:16biggest part of the
- 1:11:17trauma was coming from past lives like in my past lives I like
- 1:11:28my previous in
- 1:11:29SPEAKER_03: Korean issues experienced a lot of like experiences of rape
- 1:11:37But walking with past lives also led me to this experience of
- 1:11:45the connection to the
- 1:11:47SPEAKER_03: goddess's energy,
- 1:11:49SPEAKER_03: which actually,
- 1:11:58SPEAKER_03: in my perception,
- 1:12:00SPEAKER_03: both things were related.
- 1:12:05SPEAKER_03: because it's actually all about the sex and the relationship with men the
- 1:12:13relationship with the power and how the women's power is being
- 1:12:20held by the women
- 1:12:23themselves but also by the women themselves but also how it's
- 1:12:26treated in the world
- 1:12:33SPEAKER_03: and so it's
- 1:12:36So it's about first remembering that I am more than just this
- 1:12:45limited identity in
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_03: this incarnation,
- 1:12:50SPEAKER_03: in this experience but also remembering that from one experience there is
- 1:13:03SPEAKER_03: connection to more resources
- 1:13:07Every difficult experience may be the turning point for
- 1:13:16transforming the trauma
- 1:13:19SPEAKER_03: into the resource.
- 1:13:23SPEAKER_00: It sounds very similar to how Yulia, right?
- 1:13:26SPEAKER_00: How you also describe your connection points beyond
- 1:13:31SPEAKER_00: Just the lonely individual experience,
- 1:13:35like the connection with the elements and in Ida's case
- 1:13:37connection with the goddess
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_00: energy,
- 1:13:40SPEAKER_00: this ability to share what could be such a limited and painful and
- 1:13:47and very traumatic energy source energy pattern that may not
- 1:13:53even be generated from
- 1:13:54this lifetime right but the concept of like you don't have to
- 1:13:58sit with it alone and
- 1:14:00make that the definition of this life this is who you are this
- 1:14:04is what you're about
- 1:14:05but actually expanding beyond it into whether it's the elements
- 1:14:10of nature into the
- 1:14:11SPEAKER_00: elements of like higher powers um
- 1:14:15and I also love that both of you reflected on this desire to
- 1:14:25own all of it as me
- 1:14:27it's all part of me whether it's learned or it's innate it is
- 1:14:32my experience and
- 1:14:33Yulia even said she wants to claim it as her experience whether
- 1:14:37it's good or bad
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_00: learned or or like
- 1:14:41you're forced into this right like all of it is on the spectrum
- 1:14:45of this this
- 1:14:46incarnation there's also all these other elements from
- 1:14:49potentially previous lives
- 1:14:51right from um like in my case I I felt like I adapted adopted
- 1:15:00like adopted some of
- 1:15:03SPEAKER_00: the
- 1:15:07Perspectives of what a female is and also some of the traumatic
- 1:15:12things that females
- 1:15:13SPEAKER_00: like women go through from my grandparents or from my mom because of the
- 1:15:18experiences they went through and because of how they
- 1:15:22interacted with those
- 1:15:23experiences they were almost like templating it this is how our
- 1:15:29lives go this is
- 1:15:30what happens to us so this will also happen to you this is this
- 1:15:34is the plight of
- 1:15:36SPEAKER_00: the woman in the incarnation.
- 1:15:40SPEAKER_02: Geomorphic resonance field.
- 1:15:43SPEAKER_00: Yes, exactly.
- 1:15:44SPEAKER_00: The morphic resonance field of my family and of the Russian woman.
- 1:15:51SPEAKER_00: I was very aware of the energetics of that template.
- 1:15:55SPEAKER_00: What is a Russian woman like versus what am I like as a woman?
- 1:16:01and I still don't know because it's taken so many years to shed
- 1:16:04the layers and
- 1:16:06maybe not shed like if we're if we're owning it as part of us
- 1:16:10right then we're
- 1:16:11SPEAKER_00: welcoming it but we're also I'm also
- 1:16:16moving it aside so I could also make more space for like what
- 1:16:20is my unique
- 1:16:21expression of woman in this incarnation yes welcoming and
- 1:16:27claiming what I've been
- 1:16:29through and what we've collectively been through as women as
- 1:16:33Russian women as women
- 1:16:34on this earth whatever right as women that potentially were men
- 1:16:38at in other
- 1:16:40SPEAKER_00: lifetimes like all of it and yet still making room for
- 1:16:46Not just what is my natural capacity of woman but also like
- 1:16:52what do I want it to be
- 1:16:54because I have choice I have choice about how I want to express
- 1:17:00and what I want to
- 1:17:01express and I have choice about changing my mind when and what
- 1:17:05I want to express
- 1:17:07SPEAKER_00: and what does it mean or doesn't mean What's coming up Yulia I like that
- 1:17:17SPEAKER_02: in your mind.
- 1:17:19SPEAKER_02: Being officially allowed to change my mind any moment.
- 1:17:24SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 1:17:27SPEAKER_03: This is what choice is about.
- 1:17:29SPEAKER_03: If you can't change your mind, you don't have a choice.
- 1:17:33SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 1:17:36SPEAKER_00: Girls, this has been such a...
- 1:17:39SPEAKER_00: Girls, women.
- 1:17:41SPEAKER_00: This has been a really juicy...
- 1:17:46um flowy actually a pleasant experience discovering this and
- 1:17:54learning more about
- 1:17:55you and where you sit with all of this um i don't know why i
- 1:17:59was worried about
- 1:18:00doing this topic because i've really quite had a really lovely
- 1:18:05time today and just
- 1:18:08SPEAKER_00: to close off i want to ask
- 1:18:12You know,
- 1:18:13what questions are still alive for you after this conversation?
- 1:18:18SPEAKER_00: What feels like maybe is a beginning of a new exploration?
- 1:18:23SPEAKER_00: What's here for you?
- 1:18:25SPEAKER_00: What are you taking away?
- 1:18:30SPEAKER_01: What else is out there?
- 1:18:32SPEAKER_03: This is the question that is still open
- 1:18:42SPEAKER_00: In terms of women?
- 1:18:45SPEAKER_03: In terms, yeah, in terms of women, women, women too.
- 1:18:51SPEAKER_00: And what of what we can remember?
- 1:18:52SPEAKER_00: Are you speaking to what Yulia was saying?
- 1:18:55SPEAKER_03: What can we remember about what does it mean to be a woman?
- 1:19:00SPEAKER_03: What can we remember about how to be women in
- 1:19:11in the world in this world in any other world what the world
- 1:19:17can be if we remember
- 1:19:19more about what does it mean to be a woman yeah and you're
- 1:19:29yours yeah that makes me
- 1:19:34SPEAKER_02: wonder also about remembering but also
- 1:19:41SPEAKER_02: some weird ways of doing that.
- 1:19:46I just finished a book that I read I think in a day and it was
- 1:19:51this theory about
- 1:19:54this theory that you know the way of certain ways of being that
- 1:20:01humans had
- 1:20:03SPEAKER_02: especially with the environment and the non-human world which was
- 1:20:12SPEAKER_02: co-creating, but also feeling each other.
- 1:20:15SPEAKER_02: So it was mutual, well, the plot of that book.
- 1:20:22SPEAKER_02: So it was mutual,
- 1:20:23SPEAKER_02: you know,
- 1:20:24the humans always recognizing and sensing into the environment
- 1:20:29and the environment
- 1:20:30also recognizing and sensing the humans and communicating in
- 1:20:35certain ways.
- 1:20:37and how it was lost and how there was this theory that you know
- 1:20:44whatever is long
- 1:20:46lost it's never lost but it kind of leaked somewhere so there
- 1:20:53is this world where
- 1:20:55SPEAKER_02: that knowledge still is but it's not on this plane it's
- 1:21:00but it's through like certain experiences that you can get
- 1:21:03there and so that's
- 1:21:05where in that world is where the plot of the book and the
- 1:21:10action took place and it
- 1:21:14was actually yeah so that just makes me think about a wealth of
- 1:21:26experiences
- 1:21:29that are only limited by our imagination that I think can help
- 1:21:35us bring back some
- 1:21:37SPEAKER_02: of the memories.
- 1:21:43I want an episode where you actually take us through some of
- 1:21:47these experiences or share them.
- 1:21:52SPEAKER_02: It was totally just in the moment that it came up, Pauline, I didn't
- 1:22:01of course tons of experiences right well you have experimented
- 1:22:05with a lot Ira has
- 1:22:06experimented with a lot we all have so but there are more
- 1:22:10that's what I'm saying
- 1:22:11like there are more and I think you know the more we experiment
- 1:22:16the wider the range
- 1:22:18and the bigger the assortment is because as with when we start
- 1:22:22it just like things
- 1:22:23SPEAKER_02: open up because the energy is there
- 1:22:27SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 1:22:28SPEAKER_00: The more we experiment,
- 1:22:29the wider the range and the more the assortment of all that is
- 1:22:33available becomes
- 1:22:35SPEAKER_01: available to be claimed by us.
- 1:22:39SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 1:22:43SPEAKER_00: I want to ask one more question before we finish, actually.
- 1:22:47SPEAKER_00: So I mentioned, I shared with you that actually this was a really
- 1:22:53SPEAKER_00: Pleasant,
- 1:22:54SPEAKER_00: fun experience for me today,
- 1:22:56even though it was an unclear territory when we were stepping
- 1:23:00into it at first.
- 1:23:01SPEAKER_00: How was it for you, if you don't mind sharing?
- 1:23:07SPEAKER_03: It was magical.
- 1:23:15SPEAKER_02: It was quite flowy.
- 1:23:18SPEAKER_02: And the first time, Pauline, you brought up
- 1:23:23this topic as potentially the topic that you're going to
- 1:23:26facilitate the first
- 1:23:27reaction that I experienced was a lot of resistance no clue why
- 1:23:33it was and we
- 1:23:35shortly exchanged on the resistance but but actually when you
- 1:23:42announced today I
- 1:23:44think our time right that it's going to be this topic the
- 1:23:49resistance wasn't there
- 1:23:49SPEAKER_02: anymore oh cool
- 1:23:54So you circulated,
- 1:23:55we circulated the energy and it was able to shift and move.
- 1:23:58SPEAKER_00: I love it.
- 1:24:03SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:24:04SPEAKER_00: Anything else?
- 1:24:06SPEAKER_00: It was a lot of fun.
- 1:24:08SPEAKER_00: Anything else you want to leave us with before we close off?
- 1:24:14I just want to thank both of you for being willing to go on
- 1:24:19this journey into
- 1:24:23Weird and maybe difficult and unclear and like we never know
- 1:24:28what's gonna come up
- 1:24:29how can we jive with this I just appreciate that both of you
- 1:24:32are up for whatever it
- 1:24:34is that all of us collectively and individually want to dive
- 1:24:38into okay well
- 1:24:43SPEAKER_00: Thank you both.
- 1:24:44SPEAKER_00: And thank you to anyone and everyone that's listened.
- 1:24:48SPEAKER_00: We really,

- 1:25:09SPEAKER_00: Please share with us.
- 1:25:10SPEAKER_00: This is...
- 1:25:12An important conversation and there are brave women out there
- 1:25:16that are having these
- 1:25:17discussions and but I my personal desire is that we more of us
- 1:25:24talk about this
- 1:25:25stuff and share and get to know one another on these topics
- 1:25:30that just are taken for
- 1:25:32SPEAKER_00: granted but they're so rich and they're so much of like a doorway
- 1:25:39Just like what you said you know in the beginning your first
- 1:25:41response was like
- 1:25:41there was like this portal right that opened up when when we
- 1:25:44interacted with the
- 1:25:45word woman that's what I feel like it's a portal for us into
- 1:25:49the morphic resonance
- 1:25:51of all that knowledge and brilliance of what does it mean to be
- 1:25:56woman for us to
- 1:25:58SPEAKER_00: claim and interact with and
- 1:26:01the more we share and and we really show up like this with one
- 1:26:05another I feel like
- 1:26:05that portal is going to become so much juicier and the access
- 1:26:09points are going to
- 1:26:09become so much faster it's going to be like zoom zoom zoom zoom
- 1:26:14so that's that's my
- 1:26:16SPEAKER_00: secret desire for all of us okay thank you so much for the topic and for
- 1:26:24SPEAKER_02: facilitating yeah I'm glad we did it
- 1:26:27SPEAKER_00: Yay!
- 1:26:28SPEAKER_00: Alright, we'll see you next time.

- 1:26:41the better off we all are.
- 1:26:43SPEAKER_02: More connected, more creative, more alive.
