Today I am speaking with Adina Stoian – founder of Women of Spirituality, teacher of esoteric Tantra Yoga, writer and my wife – to launch her questions on the burning hot topic: Crisis and Transformation!
A crisis of global proportions is upon us – one that affects many aspects of human life, but that also brings plenty of opportunities to grow as individuals and as a collective. If we understand what I call our “crisis mentality”, I dare say we will understand a lot of what is going on in the world today. So tune in and discover how to thrive in a crisis!
I loved this episode it was exactly what I needed to hear right now. In an amazing synchronicity i’m having a crisis of anger these past two days. I had a difficult interaction with someone but for some reason, even though it seemed like it wasn’t so unpleasant, I was becoming more and more angry as the day went on. Now three days later i’m still angry but i’m not even angry about that conversation or angry with that person. Honestly I don’t know what im angry about now but im still angry. And I have been experiencing exactly this feeling of losing the controls. It seemed like since yesterday what had been motivating me no longer worked, my energy levels were very down so I could not use the usual strategies for balancing my inner world. Now I realize I need to turn and face this issue and actually I got a little inspiration yesterday of what it was about but I was too busy to look into it. Now I will definitely look into it. Thank you for another great podcast. Looking forward to episode 3.
Some thoughts after hearing this episode:
It is intriguing that we have to learn to be aware because in fact, being alive should include the awareness. Isn’t it? But on the other hand it is obvious that we can live in an automatic way having inner systems that can assist our life without our presence! And we can live like that for a while having even the illusion of being free to do what we like, to do and what we choose to. I suppose that when a certain limit is reached, then the crisis start to emerge to our horizon. We can feel it, but still indulge in laziness and inaction. Until it hits like a hurricane sometimes! Than the life rollercoaster starts for us and it becomes nasty for a while, but of course when we are in it, it seems that is endless… I am still wandering why most of us, including me of course, are counting on this last resort Life use to force us learn a lesson that we really need? Why we don t choose wiser ways to transform? Thank you Advaita and Adina for this incursion into this vast subject that involves each of us and also the humanity at a larger scale – evolution trough crises – like Advaita says ‘A very toxic deal’
Thank you for this enlightening discussion. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
