Listen "Episode #14 - Risk and Relationship"
Episode Synopsis
This episode wanders and flows gently through two interconnected topics: risk and relationship. Do connection and relationship alter our perception of risk? When you truly know another being for who they genuinely are, beyond their labels, can you have more trust in that person or animal? Would you put your child on a “dangerous” off-the-track thoroughbred? Sleep outside in an area known to have mountain lions? Choose to live in an area constantly being reborn and reshaped by active volcanoes? Living in fear means always seeing risk; living in attunement means seeing truth.Our culture makes it difficult to open up - to find those tender places inside of us where we let ourselves explore our intuition, awareness, energy, and connection. More and more people are exploring these sides of themselves; however, even some of the most attuned humans still have an energetic governor that stops them from going too far when discomfort arises.For instance, many empathic individuals connect strongly with nature - animals, plants, the land. We tend to have difficulty managing our feelings about the way humanity treats the land, the way humanity treats animals (horses!). If we dig into this tendency to judge other humans, what do we find? Will we allow ourselves to see what’s underneath? Anger? Pain? Sadness? Grief? Guilt for being human ourselves? What is the risk in rejecting others this way? Be sure to listen to this one all the way through - there is a beautiful and vulnerable epiphany toward the end that ties together the entire episode on risk and relationship with others and with the land.Podcast GuestsChris Adderson - www.forthehorse.comJillian Kreinbring - www.jillinakreinbringinspire.comJessica White Plume - @jessica.white.plume.5Greta Matos - www.kurakuda.comJoell Dunlap - www.squarepegfoundation.orgKerri Lake - www.generateharmony.comMusic by Mark Rashid - www.markrashid.com
