You already know that life is living you. Nothing is excluded from that. There is nothing we must take charge of, make happen, or figure out. Nothing we must gain clarity around. That includes–of course!–seeing more about how life is living you. It can look like there is a path. It can look like there

Tania Elfersy was experiencing perimenopause symptoms for a few years. Then, she had an insight about the role of thought that led those symptoms to go away.

In this episode, I share a quote that deeply spoke to me about how the objectifying mind is “nothing other than it’s own movement”.
