And so it's a really powerful time to commit and recommit to your practice 5 00:00:28.980 --> 00:00:35.680 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and also to self inquiry. So today will take some some time to do that together. 6 00:00:35.760 --> 00:00:40.459 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And I'm just gonna look in the chat so as folks come in 7 00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:50.930 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): dropping in the chat, how you are glad to be here now, tender hearted. Yeah, heart is heavy, but I'm here. Not everyone 8 00:00:51.370 --> 00:00:52.440 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): nice. 9 00:00:52.820 --> 00:00:59.820 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So many of us. I mean, it's like our own lives, things happening in our lives, things happening in the world. 10 00:01:00.050 --> 00:01:06.730 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): There's a lot. And it. It can get really heavy and hard, and the 11 00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:15.350 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): reminder of practice is a reminder to come back to yourself. because when we're able to care for ourselves. 12 00:01:16.520 --> 00:01:21.259 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): then we can show up in all the various ways that we do. 13 00:01:21.360 --> 00:01:40.470 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): But if we're not caring for ourselves, then all the other things get overwhelming. And so I hope that part of what we'll do in our time together today is practice some of that self care, and also we connect to it in the way that it it supports you. 14 00:01:41.400 --> 00:01:54.880 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yeah, feeling a bit broken today, but happy. To be here. Yes, and I, what I'm hoping folks are seeing is that you're not alone. If you're feeling 15 00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:02.320 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): broken, or tender, or tired or overwhelmed. 16 00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:04.289 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that that is. 17 00:02:05.470 --> 00:02:25.640 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that's a shared sentiment. And if you also do wanna say if you're here feeling like joyful and positive and good, and all of it is welcome, right? The the awesomeness report, and the awfulness report. It's all. It's all welcome. It's all part of the the human condition. And 18 00:02:25.950 --> 00:02:28.979 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I have been reflecting. 19 00:02:29.660 --> 00:02:34.279 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I'll just say these things before we move into into practice. You know, people just 20 00:02:35.010 --> 00:02:42.649 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): in. I don't know what the correct term is, but like in maybe industrialized 21 00:02:42.800 --> 00:02:56.079 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): society. Maybe someone can put in the chat. It's an appropriate word for for what I mean. But folks like not in, for example, India, to folks in the Us. And Europe, Australia. 22 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:08.079 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): We're generally not getting communicable diseases that kill us right. The things that that are ending our lives now 23 00:03:08.210 --> 00:03:11.769 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): are. besides, like all the various 24 00:03:11.880 --> 00:03:23.950 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): oppressions and all those things, they're they're things like heart disease or diabetes, or, you know, respiratory issues or cardiac issues. And 25 00:03:24.170 --> 00:03:26.859 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): all of these are exacerbated by stress. 26 00:03:27.910 --> 00:03:41.740 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And so I say that because I wanna call in Audrey. Lord quote around carrying out for ourselves is not self indulgence. It's an act of political warfare, right? It's a it's a way of taking care. 27 00:03:41.750 --> 00:03:45.220 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So we live. So we continue. 28 00:03:45.270 --> 00:03:47.469 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and Yoga practices 29 00:03:48.490 --> 00:03:56.080 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): a yogic lifestyle. And then specifically, Pranama Asana mantra 30 00:03:57.020 --> 00:04:04.490 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): really, all of of Yoga. All of the limbs. Meditation support us in 31 00:04:05.140 --> 00:04:11.960 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): caring for those 4 things that that lead to a less a life of less wellbeing. 32 00:04:12.160 --> 00:04:23.189 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So there's all of this evidence that backs up and supports us. And I've been that's the world I've been in, in part, because sometimes, if I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed or burned out or tired. 33 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:48.259 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): One of the things that I do is learn. It helps me to learn to to rest, of course, but also to like recharge in various ways. And so I've been in a place of a lot of learning around some of the benefits of Yoga that I mean, we know, but also that have. There's evidence based, you know, and support and different language around some. I'm sharing that also, because 34 00:04:48.820 --> 00:04:54.039 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for me it's been helpful to be like right. All of these things actually 35 00:04:54.760 --> 00:04:58.860 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): are beneficial. And there's all these ways that they help me, and then others. 36 00:04:59.660 --> 00:05:02.189 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And then I'm pausing to look at you. 37 00:05:02.480 --> 00:05:04.470 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Chat.

What truths are alive for you right now? 139 00:21:55.000 --> 00:22:03.180 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): These are the questions of the Yogi of the the idiogie right of the self inquiry that leads to understanding. 140 00:22:03.450 --> 00:22:08.770 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So keeping that meditative presence and practice 141 00:22:08.870 --> 00:22:15.919 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): move towards eternal play some music, and we'll write for about 4 or 5 min. 142 00:22:48.710 --> 00:23:01.620 The 143 00:23:03.410 --> 00:23:07.530 whoops. 144 00:23:10.110 --> 00:23:14.920 the 145 00:23:16.660 --> 00:23:34.250 the 146 00:23:36.270 --> 00:23:41.560 the. 147 00:23:45.550 --> 00:24:01.970 the 148 00:24:02.320 --> 00:24:03.550 the 149 00:24:05.430 --> 00:24:07.110 you're 150 00:24:12.380 --> 00:24:15.200 to. 151 00:24:17.300 --> 00:24:27.640 the 152 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.440 you're 153 00:24:36.780 --> 00:24:48.810 the 154 00:24:50.970 --> 00:24:54.020 whoo. 155 00:24:57.790 --> 00:25:14.080 the 156 00:25:15.710 --> 00:25:17.490 you. 157 00:25:19.110 --> 00:25:45.199 the the 158 00:25:45.450 --> 00:25:51.890 Ok. You're 159 00:25:56.260 --> 00:26:09.900 you. the 160 00:26:11.020 --> 00:26:13.320 you. 161 00:26:16.190 --> 00:26:31.290 the 162 00:26:33.130 --> 00:26:36.310 you're 163 00:26:37.580 --> 00:26:48.500 the 164 00:26:49.100 --> 00:26:56.720 the 165 00:27:00.500 --> 00:27:03.640 you're 166 00:27:05.220 --> 00:27:14.960 the 167 00:27:17.190 --> 00:27:18.850 You. 168 00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:40.599 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Some time to finish your 169 00:27:41.960 --> 00:27:43.030 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): thoughts. 170 00:28:02.130 --> 00:28:09.609 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Part of the Mahashivadi. Time is connecting to the Tandava the great dance. 171 00:28:10.250 --> 00:28:22.129 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and that dance. You sometimes see the statues of Shiva with one leg up and one arm up, right across, and sometimes there's an instrument in one hand and and the 172 00:28:22.300 --> 00:28:33.929 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): like. If the left arm is a left leg is a cross, so it's the. It's the movement of the great dance and the the dance of expansion and contraction, of growth. 173 00:28:34.530 --> 00:28:46.170 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): going backwards of conflict and of harmony, all of these things moving in all of us and in the world. And so I wanted to redo this quote. 174 00:28:47.030 --> 00:28:52.399 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): When one has access to mystical realms through deep sadness and detachment 175 00:28:52.450 --> 00:29:03.769 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to the material world, one is able to experience the Ananda Tandava. That's the the dance of bliss, Anunda joy or bliss, and tend of a dance. 176 00:29:03.890 --> 00:29:13.550 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): or movement. There are multiple dimensions of existence. One who has gained entry to the subtle realms of creation 177 00:29:13.560 --> 00:29:18.090 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): will find that the dance of Shiva is happening in a ceaseless continuum. 178 00:29:18.410 --> 00:29:32.090 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): This blissful dance of the cosmic rhythm can be enjoined, enjoyed only after transcending body, mind, intellect, and ego, which is to say, in a state of union or state of Yoga. 179 00:29:32.570 --> 00:29:33.740 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And 180 00:29:34.350 --> 00:29:43.639 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): it's this is from Shankar, who is a teacher alive today in India. 181 00:29:44.060 --> 00:29:44.930 And 182 00:29:45.160 --> 00:30:00.079 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I really appreciate this quote because it reminds me that of what Shiva is right, like complete, serious devotion, like he spent thousands of years on the top of Mount Kailash in Sadena. 183 00:30:02.770 --> 00:30:13.719 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then also total play part of his practice. Part of his Sadna is smoking Ganja, smoking hashish, and being in like 184 00:30:13.950 --> 00:30:25.910 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): these Ananda joyful realms. So there's not one way to approach practice. There's not one way to to be. And so for many of us who. 185 00:30:25.980 --> 00:30:35.039 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): when we share it at the beginning, we're coming here tired or kind of broken, brokenhearted. That's part of the dance. 186 00:30:35.150 --> 00:30:44.580 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): It's not less. And and our joy, too, and our gratitude is also part of the dance. They're they're all needed 187 00:30:44.590 --> 00:30:54.789 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): in and they're and they're not separate from one another. just looking to see if I have any other notes I wanted to share with you. 188 00:30:56.510 --> 00:31:01.650 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): yeah, I think. 189 00:31:02.820 --> 00:31:04.399 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Think that's it 190 00:31:05.300 --> 00:31:16.140 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for me. I wanted to take some time to open it up and to hear from you any reflections on the questions on the practice 191 00:31:16.170 --> 00:31:29.899 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): on your satina at this time, or really anything that that because this time is a time of truth, right, and getting into our practice through that lens of truth, and particularly like turning truth. 192 00:31:30.130 --> 00:31:34.040 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that gaze of looking at truth more inwards than outwards. 193 00:31:34.230 --> 00:31:40.150 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): If there's anything on your heart or mind particularly related to 194 00:31:40.230 --> 00:31:47.750 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): what we explore here, like Yoga practices. Your journey, your unique journey with Yoga. 195 00:31:48.050 --> 00:31:56.680 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): That can be, you know. Sometimes I think it's so hard to have a space to just share about that in our world. Because 196 00:31:57.070 --> 00:32:09.109 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): when people ask, How are you like? They don't necessarily wanna hear all of the depth of what's going on in my practice or not happening, or what I am confused about. But this is a space where that is welcome, so 197 00:32:09.630 --> 00:32:18.730 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): all of that, to share the spaces open with the the guide of sharing from our hearts and listening from our hearts. Yes, trustee. 198 00:32:19.420 --> 00:32:23.439 Justine (she/her): Hi, thank you for this. This is really 199 00:32:24.180 --> 00:32:38.239 Justine (she/her): II. My whole body's now relaxed. So I have a T. It's hard time discerning between when my body's relaxed or tired sometimes. So anyway. But that's not why I raised my hand. The the the thing that 200 00:32:38.450 --> 00:32:40.660 Justine (she/her): qualities of trying to 201 00:32:41.660 --> 00:32:48.210 Justine (she/her): I'm trying to share is to step up, even though, and I'm sure you've touched upon this. 202 00:32:48.680 --> 00:33:01.899 Justine (she/her): What I'm just to step up, even though things are going to be imperfect and messy looking, and I have, and that's the stuff I want to try to forgive myself for is the or let go of is the perfectionism 203 00:33:02.290 --> 00:33:11.130 Justine (she/her): and the judgment and the criticism of yeah. So that's what's been coming up for me. And 204 00:33:12.380 --> 00:33:15.289 Justine (she/her): and at the same time I'm grateful for my health. 205 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:22.090 Justine (she/her): And also the thing I'm struggling with is the truth I'm having is the 206 00:33:22.200 --> 00:33:23.830 Justine (she/her): healthcare system 207 00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:30.000 Justine (she/her): dismissing me with my stuff. So 208 00:33:31.610 --> 00:33:33.299 Justine (she/her): yeah, that's what's coming up. 209 00:33:33.330 --> 00:33:34.560 Justine (she/her): So thank you. 210 00:33:35.130 --> 00:33:47.890 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Thank you, Justine. I really appreciate you sharing. And I'm curious if you're willing to share. How are you working with the perfectionism? Because II find that 211 00:33:48.140 --> 00:33:51.210 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): always a challenge. 212 00:33:51.880 --> 00:33:53.809 Justine (she/her): a sec. 213 00:33:54.940 --> 00:33:58.030 Justine (she/her): that's an area for growth for me. 214 00:33:58.360 --> 00:34:09.239 Justine (she/her): that's always been an area for growth because of my, I've had rigid thinking. And also 215 00:34:09.659 --> 00:34:25.210 Justine (she/her): there's also struggles to with executive functions like severe struggles. So So I have a way of what something supposed to look like, or my expectations are this high, and I'm here. 216 00:34:25.300 --> 00:34:27.640 Justine (she/her): and I really 217 00:34:27.790 --> 00:34:39.160 Justine (she/her): And if it doesn't get here, then why start? Why bother starting to do something? Because then I freeze. I know my, there's a lot of freezing happening. So 218 00:34:41.639 --> 00:34:47.059 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): thank you for sharing that I can relate. I'd imagine other folks can relate to. 219 00:34:47.090 --> 00:35:08.499 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and I don't know for you but one of the things that's been helpful for me with with that that you bringing this up is reminding me to apply this with myself again now, is to like embrace the learning curve like, especially if I'm doing something new. But even if it's not new, even if it's something I've done before. 220 00:35:08.840 --> 00:35:13.870 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): There still can be a growth curve, and to not 221 00:35:14.740 --> 00:35:20.760 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to not try to rush myself. But just be okay with with where I'm at on the process. 222 00:35:20.830 --> 00:35:25.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and that it's gonna be different. So thank you for that reminder. 223 00:35:26.240 --> 00:35:27.750 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Anyone else. 224 00:35:32.710 --> 00:35:35.530 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes, welcome. Welcome. 225 00:35:36.340 --> 00:35:39.640 Doaalicious- She/They: Hey? Hello! Hello! Can everyone hear me. 226 00:35:40.310 --> 00:36:02.100 Doaalicious- She/They: Yeah, I can hear you really. Well, and how do you pronounce your name? It's Doaa. But I call myself delicious. Yeah. Hi, this is your first pilgrimage. Right? Yeah. Just writing down the prompt about the things I forgive myself for. 227 00:36:02.550 --> 00:36:06.360 Doaalicious- She/They: It just made me look at it as I read it after I'm like. 228 00:36:06.640 --> 00:36:19.470 Doaalicious- She/They: Wow, a lot of times. Most of the time. We're really hard on ourselves when our heart really needs tenderness. And when I practice Yoga, whether it's Asana or Pranayama, whatever form it is. 229 00:36:19.550 --> 00:36:22.990 Doaalicious- She/They: I always go by Ahimsa. 230 00:36:23.870 --> 00:36:34.150 Doaalicious- She/They: and this is the first word that struck out of my mind as I was reading what I wrote. I'm like. Wow, this is basically a visual reminder 231 00:36:34.210 --> 00:36:35.689 Doaalicious- She/They: to try my best 232 00:36:35.980 --> 00:36:56.390 Doaalicious- She/They: to integrate Ahimsa into this, because the reality is, it's like when we try to heal the gentler we are on ourselves, the able, the more we'll be able to do it, and also doing it in community. Had I not come here? I'd probably be like my brain would be spiraling, going. 233 00:36:56.410 --> 00:37:12.449 Doaalicious- She/They: But then I was like, Wait, what is it that when we do this in community, whether it's virtual or in person. Everything changes like I would never do this alone. I'd be like, Oh, my God, yeah, I definitely like, forgive myself for this, but then the memory take me there. 234 00:37:12.450 --> 00:37:32.710 Doaalicious- She/They: This is another thing, too, that I love about Yoga is the concept of community coming together? Not necessarily when we're like trying to think about. Oh, my God, we we have to all be friends, but just coming like every single person that's coming in is coming with the same purpose. And this is where this vibration, like becomes expansive and contagious. 235 00:37:32.820 --> 00:37:36.439 Doaalicious- She/They: So yeah, thank you for that. Let's go and share that. 236 00:37:37.370 --> 00:37:39.230 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Thank you so much 237 00:37:39.940 --> 00:37:43.449 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): delicious. I love it. 238 00:37:46.630 --> 00:37:49.600 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): The Sangha, the power of the Sangha. 239 00:37:49.640 --> 00:38:01.069 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I find my practice. It's so much different. It's so much deeper, you know in community, and even we'll see where we float to today. But I was envisioning doing. 240 00:38:01.170 --> 00:38:09.419 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): maybe, at least like a like a good chunk of a restorative practice with us as well and and 241 00:38:09.920 --> 00:38:26.979 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and just, even being virtual, but all having that shared aim of relaxation and release that I find is so so nourishing. I just feel like in this time and again, especially like what people are sharing in the chat as well as what I'm feeling is. 242 00:38:27.210 --> 00:38:42.909 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I don't think we can rest enough right now. I think the more we can do Yoga Nitra, or you know, a 10 min. We, you know, relaxation, practice, or rest practice with Shavasana or meditation, whether that's sitting standing like all so welcome. 243 00:38:43.710 --> 00:38:46.890 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! I love the sound effects of your mind. Yeah. 244 00:38:49.840 --> 00:38:51.260 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I love this 245 00:38:51.640 --> 00:38:54.799 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Carly. What you shared about 246 00:38:55.590 --> 00:39:06.969 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): good enough is good enough for now calling things a first draft so helpful. That's help me loosen some of my expectations. I still do that. I do that all the time I have to do that, or else 247 00:39:07.020 --> 00:39:08.769 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): things would never get done 248 00:39:11.040 --> 00:39:12.400 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): anyone else. 249 00:39:15.980 --> 00:39:17.450 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes, Caroline. 250 00:39:21.740 --> 00:39:22.570 Hi. 251 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:26.799 Caroline (they/she): just trying to do the technical background. 252 00:39:27.880 --> 00:39:28.730 Caroline (they/she): Huh? 253 00:39:29.070 --> 00:39:44.629 Caroline (they/she): initially, I wanted to just share about when you talked about the qualities, how I it just gave me the space to reflect on the qualities that I need in different spaces are actually different. 254 00:39:44.750 --> 00:39:45.650 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Hmm! 255 00:39:46.780 --> 00:39:50.269 Caroline (they/she): And then I felt really helpful. 256 00:39:51.590 --> 00:40:01.710 Caroline (they/she): so I just wanna say bye. And then somebody's just saying goodbye in the chat. So yeah, that was just quite helpful to discern, like 257 00:40:02.230 --> 00:40:08.409 Caroline (they/she): in the different spaces that we are and where we want to be in the world, and how we want to be supporting and things. 258 00:40:09.270 --> 00:40:22.430 Caroline (they/she): And then, when you asked us to just that it was the time for truthfulness. I just want you to come on and share that I'm actually quite struggling with, with grasping around the yogurt 259 00:40:22.590 --> 00:40:26.509 Caroline (they/she): and curator. So I'm feeling quite emotional. 260 00:40:27.080 --> 00:40:30.489 Caroline (they/she): Don't know why he was so emotional. But 261 00:40:32.050 --> 00:40:33.910 Caroline (they/she): Sense of 262 00:40:35.240 --> 00:40:37.710 Caroline (they/she): of feeling like time is rushing. 263 00:40:39.930 --> 00:40:40.670 Hmm! 264 00:40:42.260 --> 00:40:46.640 Caroline (they/she): That probably metaphor for life, you know. But 265 00:40:48.040 --> 00:40:50.159 Caroline (they/she): And and not 266 00:40:52.460 --> 00:41:02.929 Caroline (they/she): That kind of fear of like that grasping of like. Oh, I'm not going to be able to like grasp enough of the knowledge, and I know that, like it like literally, is like a manifestation of grasping rather than like. 267 00:41:03.080 --> 00:41:15.900 Caroline (they/she): I wonder what I'll hear today, and likewise I'll know, like intellectually. you know, I can see intellectually what's happening it still physically happening. And like I know that 268 00:41:16.050 --> 00:41:21.329 Caroline (they/she): I am with my relationship with the Yogi carrier like, I'm really appreciating it. 269 00:41:21.510 --> 00:41:23.289 Caroline (they/she): but it it's almost like 270 00:41:25.310 --> 00:41:28.120 Caroline (they/she): it's maybe something that I'm kind of connecting with 271 00:41:30.780 --> 00:41:51.009 Caroline (they/she): at the moment. It feels like maybe like a couple of times a month, you know, or you know, anyway. So I just thought, I just bring that and like, even today, when there was this email, II almost like, had a panic of like, Oh, no, that means another month arrived, but actually sorry. It was just the invitation to come tonight. So I'll just come tonight. 272 00:41:51.370 --> 00:41:52.240 And 273 00:41:53.040 --> 00:41:58.990 Caroline (they/she): so yeah, I just thought I'd been Biddy, even though I also know it's not true. I also know 274 00:41:59.020 --> 00:42:06.580 Caroline (they/she): the truth of. I am here to absorb whatever I can absorb whatever I'm here to learn. and 275 00:42:08.750 --> 00:42:13.609 Caroline (they/she): and just thank you like it. And I'm finding that I am 276 00:42:13.920 --> 00:42:21.180 Caroline (they/she): going forward. But I'm more going back. you know, like, like, I'm opening a chapter and skim reading it, and then 277 00:42:21.230 --> 00:42:22.360 Caroline (they/she): so I can like 278 00:42:23.490 --> 00:42:32.840 Caroline (they/she): like, see all around it and go okay, that bit that bit that bit. And then I'm kind of going backwards like I'm ready again to re listen to him, Zeron. 279 00:42:33.020 --> 00:42:36.100 Caroline (they/she): I just keep on kind of going like that way with it. 280 00:42:36.720 --> 00:42:38.120 Caroline (they/she): Resonate through till. 281 00:42:39.110 --> 00:42:46.289 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Thank you so much. I really appreciate you sharing in that way and bringing like the truth, and that that 282 00:42:46.590 --> 00:42:51.000 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): grasping I also really to that 283 00:42:51.500 --> 00:42:54.129 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that feeling, and 284 00:42:56.900 --> 00:42:59.679 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): for me it shows up as like 285 00:43:00.320 --> 00:43:07.839 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and not trust like a not self trust sometimes or not trust. Sometimes it's outwards, like, I'm not trusting. 286 00:43:08.110 --> 00:43:11.930 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): whatever the teacher, the circumstance. But but 287 00:43:13.680 --> 00:43:15.840 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I know for me it's like 288 00:43:17.110 --> 00:43:19.159 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so Tiknhan talks about 289 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:34.839 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): the Dharma rain, and he's funny because he he's passed now. But what you can hear his talks so it's like he's still around in so many ways, you know. But when he was here I would go to different retreats with him, and he would give 290 00:43:35.020 --> 00:43:44.229 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): dharma talks, and sometimes they were like the same talks. You know, that he'd given the year before. Different times were the same theme that he would come around to. 291 00:43:44.270 --> 00:43:45.540 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And 292 00:43:46.410 --> 00:44:08.419 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I had this huge problem of falling asleep in his dharma talks because he talks so like kind of peacefully and slowly. This is in the first, like 5 years, 3 or 4 or 5 years. I kept going to the retreats, but I would almost always sleep in, which is also embarrassing like you're sitting there in meditation, and it was around. And I would like, you know, it's like this. 293 00:44:08.570 --> 00:44:19.979 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And even though I remember, there was one talk where my partner Erin, was like poked me like, I really wish you'd heard that talk, and 294 00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:28.900 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and it was. But he would always say, you know, it's like the time of rain like, let it let it just let it just fall. However, it falls, and 295 00:44:29.050 --> 00:44:38.730 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then something shifted. I actually have no idea what changed. But in the last about 5 years, because II think I got about 10 years with him before he had his stroke. 296 00:44:39.100 --> 00:44:52.290 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): that didn't happen anymore. I was able to just kind of drop in, and and I often knew what he was going to say, because I'd heard the talks 297 00:44:52.840 --> 00:45:06.620 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): but I was very present and very waken, able to engage with them in a different way than I had, and and they landed in new ways. And so I share that mostly just because 298 00:45:06.880 --> 00:45:19.669 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): I was very frustrated by the fact that I was falling asleep, I actually looking back. Why did I keep going. I don't even know why I kept going right, but I, something in me, knew that there was there was something there. 299 00:45:19.860 --> 00:45:22.930 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so yeah. 300 00:45:23.200 --> 00:45:28.890 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): As he fallen over while sitting. I have not fallen all the way over, but I've definitely got like 301 00:45:30.210 --> 00:45:45.770 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): they know what's happening right? yeah, it is. It's kind of funny. Oh, gosh! You almost keep yourself whiplash. So this is sort of 302 00:45:46.000 --> 00:45:48.380 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): it's a funny way, but also, like 303 00:45:49.830 --> 00:45:59.540 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): again, you're not alone in that feeling, and it shows up in different ways and at different times. And you know but that feeling, I think 304 00:45:59.730 --> 00:46:10.220 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so. It's so universal, and for me the the response I, for the most part, I think it's just to be 305 00:46:10.230 --> 00:46:18.759 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to show up when I can in our Yoga trainings. We're always saying it's Yoga school, not school school, right? So almost like taken 306 00:46:18.840 --> 00:46:30.890 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): oracular approach like, if you had, I actually have my dear friend Asher Frost's cards, so I'll just hold that up as an example. But if I was going to pull cards from her oracle deck, she's an indigenous 307 00:46:30.980 --> 00:46:52.869 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): leader, and teacher. The Sacred Medicine Oracle is the one I have, but if I was gonna pull cards I wouldn't look through each card on the deck. I would all the deck feel, and then just pull a card. And that can be how we relate with a program like Yoga class curator, or even a teacher training which is more linear, you know. Anyway. 308 00:46:53.130 --> 00:46:55.490 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): it doesn't have to be right. There's like 309 00:46:55.540 --> 00:47:09.880 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): different systems of understanding and knowledge. So, and I have to remind myself of that like right now, I'm doing this research I mentioned at the beginning. And I'm kind of falling back into that western like 310 00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:16.830 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): education, model like must take all the notes must must not miss. 311 00:47:17.350 --> 00:47:27.460 Caroline (they/she): There's a sense of having completed it. I fit a feeling of like this Western way of like learning, of like, not completing like it's not completed. I've done quite a few courses recently, and just this sense of like. 312 00:47:27.920 --> 00:47:35.879 Caroline (they/she): but but that really resonates with. It's that that way of learning that we're so so indoctrinated to be examined and be done. 313 00:47:37.550 --> 00:47:38.450 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes. 314 00:47:38.740 --> 00:47:55.440 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and we get to just play, you know it's the the the kind of a learning to, and of being with the learning and trusting 315 00:47:55.600 --> 00:48:06.859 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Cleo. I love that. Who knows what you are absorbed during those snoozing naps. Yeah, it's pretty funny. I'm sure. I think, actually, probably goes in in some other way. 316 00:48:06.870 --> 00:48:15.200 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): It's sleeping. And so what I do sometimes is, I'll listen to like. If I'm in a course like this, I'll actually listen. 317 00:48:15.460 --> 00:48:17.879 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): you know, while I'm falling asleep now 318 00:48:17.950 --> 00:48:35.289 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): to, especially if it's a soothing, you know. Not if they're going to be kind of erratic, and I don't want to know what's gonna happen. But if I've listened enough and I trust it's like a dharma talk or something. I'll listen at night or in the morning, when I'm kind of waking up or in my meditation, so it can be. It doesn't have to be so like 319 00:48:36.180 --> 00:48:37.930 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): structure. Yeah. 320 00:48:38.670 --> 00:48:40.180 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): anyone else. 321 00:48:46.150 --> 00:48:48.740 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And, Carolyn, were you gonna say something else? 322 00:48:49.660 --> 00:48:51.000 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Cut you off? 323 00:48:52.050 --> 00:48:57.850 Caroline (they/she): No, no, it. There's no there was more thoughts that came up. But I really appreciate the conversation. 324 00:48:58.120 --> 00:48:58.940 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yeah. 325 00:49:02.700 --> 00:49:09.040 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Well, maybe we practice. Think that would be a lovely way to end. I'm just looking at 326 00:49:09.370 --> 00:49:21.809 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): someone dropped. Auntie, my Angelou quote, do the best you can until Avianna. Thank you, do the best you can until you know better then, when you know better, do better. Yes. 327 00:49:22.040 --> 00:49:25.370 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): so good. so good. 328 00:49:25.430 --> 00:49:32.279 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): And then, Kylie, I just wanna highlight what you said around like that feeling wonderful in a cozy bubble of home and work life 329 00:49:32.790 --> 00:49:52.219 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): which also can make me feel awful because I know my current reality is so far from the reality others are living within, and that juxtaposition of guilt or shame for good present good fortune, but not wanting to miss, enjoying the blessings because they might not last. And again, how relatable and real that is, and just like the practice of 330 00:49:52.330 --> 00:49:57.270 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): privilege. We all have so many privileges. And II was with a 331 00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:13.969 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Palestinian activists this last week, and one of the things they showed me they're like the media is not going to show you this. But it was in rough, and it was like a party, a street party. And all this joy and all this music and all like, and they're they're like 332 00:50:14.610 --> 00:50:15.960 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): point was. 333 00:50:16.020 --> 00:50:30.860 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): we know how to live. We know how to live like we have been through struggle, but we also know how to have joy, and that no one's gonna take away our joy. And so that was a really powerful reminder. That 334 00:50:31.030 --> 00:50:40.999 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): new human is is one thing you know, not one of us is all wonderful or terrible, or all good or all, you know, and 335 00:50:41.200 --> 00:50:53.709 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and so just holding that, and like my practice lately, has been to fully feel the joy, and then to fully feel the anger and the grief when it comes, and to note like the waves. And that change. 336 00:50:53.890 --> 00:50:57.220 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So I just wanted to touch in on that, because. 337 00:50:58.140 --> 00:51:12.420 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): yeah, we deserve to rest. We deserve to be happy. We deserve to be, you know, peaceful and creative and abundant, and also all things right, like all of that. 338 00:51:13.360 --> 00:51:14.320 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Yes. 339 00:51:14.610 --> 00:51:18.959 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): okay. So let's practice. And 340 00:51:19.220 --> 00:51:36.090 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): wherever you are, you can find an easy way to be. This will be relaxation practice. I will probably go. I'll verbally know when we're at time, just in case anyone needs to leave. But I might guide like one or 2 min after. Just further. 341 00:51:36.620 --> 00:51:43.869 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): So wherever you are, and you can turn your camera off or leave it on, find a way to 342 00:51:45.510 --> 00:51:49.249 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): feel the contact points of the earth, with your body 343 00:51:53.750 --> 00:51:55.530 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): breathing in 344 00:51:56.700 --> 00:51:58.319 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and breathing out 345 00:52:02.640 --> 00:52:07.460 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and on your inhale expanding, taking up a little more space 346 00:52:07.900 --> 00:52:10.660 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): on your exhale, releasing. 347 00:52:12.200 --> 00:52:14.659 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): letting the earth hold you up. 348 00:52:20.690 --> 00:52:24.079 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): letting your mind rest. 349 00:52:25.230 --> 00:52:41.279 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Does so much for us. So much for you, so busy. so full of thoughts. and they don't have to stop. but just taking some time to thank your mind 350 00:52:43.170 --> 00:52:48.290 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): like he would tuck in a little baby or a burrito. 351 00:52:49.590 --> 00:52:51.230 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Thank you, mind. 352 00:52:58.570 --> 00:53:06.169 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): and then bringing your awareness to your body. which also does so much for you. 353 00:53:08.980 --> 00:53:11.010 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): going here and there. 354 00:53:13.490 --> 00:53:15.550 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): creating, moving. 355 00:53:17.600 --> 00:53:19.330 Susanna Barkataki (she/her): Thank you.
