The Flow Sutra Raiza Sali

I recently had a fascinating conversation with computational neuroscientist, Lars Sandved Smith. We've both had amazing experiences of working in the management consulting world with truly inspiring individuals and have also learned so much along the way. In contrast, we also talked about how constant interaction with the highly anxious and fibrilating nervous systems of colleagues led us both to burnout, and subsequently, the hospital. This, I realise, is becoming increasingly common. Through these conversations, I hope to bring more awareness to our colleagues who have been struggling to maintain a sense of groundedness during these turbulent times.

We touched on various fascinating topics:

- The link between contemplative practices (meditation, yoga, etc.) and neuroscience
- Questioning the maps and models we currently hold as beliefs and truths. Stepping back from our narrow world view and embracing the bigger picture.
- Being confident in the fact that we don't know what we don't know
- Contemplative practices leading to a sense of purpose. A Grounded nervous system, positive life experiences, and social interactions seem to arise naturally as a result of these practices.
- Altruism as being fundamental to systems theory and the evolution of the workplace
- The sense of urgency with which we should be approaching global cooperation and collaboration

I sense that you will find this conversation highly insightful.

Shara Raqs, inventor of muse cycles, wants to know what is the equivalent of Bruce Lee’s Jeet Kune Do for women? If the one inch punch portrays the heights of masculine physiology, what is the equal and opposite of that for women?

In this episode, I sit down with Shara and we talk about all things flow, fertility, and creativity. We express our joy about being women, our disappointment on the lack of awareness around cycle tracking, our period stories, goddess archetypes, and of course, the latest and hottest femtech currently on the market!

How do women work with their feminine biology to be in their optimum state, to discover their mental, physical and creative prowess?

What was fascinating to me about my conversation with Shara was not only the inherent beauty that exists within the female cycle but also how flow relates to us as women.

Simply put, women are flow. All we need to do is to tap into the magic of our own biology.

Join us as we candidly explore the magic of female biology!
