S10 / E3: Invite
In this week’s episode we chat about invitations, and how they can help us to feel empowered and aligned.
Why have we chosen to talk about what it means to invite?
We’ve talked about emergence and trust the last couple of weeks, and something that’s linked to both these ideas is openness - firstly in terms of moving up and out into the open as we emerge, and then secondly as we lean into trust throughout that process of emergence, we connect with openness in the sense of receptivity
It’s this latter kind of openness that brings us to the word ‘invite’ - when we experience life with open eyes, an open mind, an open heart, what we’re doing is actively inviting in / welcoming in possibility, connection, awareness… we’re offering an invitation to ourselves, to others, to the wider world - intentionally choosing to be present and ready
What do we chat about?
Passive and active invitations (gentleness mixed with something more active)
A bodily response to an invitation, and why listening is the key
How seeing things as invitations rather than instructions can help us to reinstate the possibility of choice
Why invitations encourage us to be more open and receptive to life
