And so, the special 5 part series with the ever-talented, insightful, and generous Nita Baum concludes here. We go out on a high note, while feeling very grounded in the earth. This conversation in my humble opinion carries groundedness within its essence. Nita and I found such a nice flow in our conversations and used our own shared community/friendship as the basis for this 5 part series. In this conversation, I express the value I hold for her friendship and how much it has meant to me.
We go deep into the interconnectictivity between healthy practices, fear, self-acceptance, community, and vulnerability. We touch on the following topics:
Nita gets us started with a lovely experiential grounding practice
Why might everybody be meditating in a century and what does that have to do with dentists?
The right and importance of each person discovering and integrating healthy practices for themselves
How the healthcare system in the US has its strengths but is also largely reactive
How we learn how to systematically dismantle and gain power over fear
Accessibility and simplicity of practices which support our well-being and growth
Connection of groundedness to community, home, family, connection, relationship
The challenge and universality of feeling separated, isolated, different than, otherness
How community opens our eyes to the richness of our shared experience and humanness
Personal story about how the community I share with Nita as a friend helped me to overcome the feeling of cognitive dissonance and challenge for stepping out onto a road less traveled
Roots of other are in our fear, uncertainty, vulnerability, highlights the power of turning towards that fear—our kinship in realizing shared experience of fear
What do you turn to when you feel afraid? What grounds you?
Reference to M Scott Peck’s 4 stage sequence for community building
Intimate relation with being truthful, protecting against the feeling of being not good enough and pretending we’re not dealing with that on some level
Practice, fear, self-acceptance, community, vulnerability and all comes together in groundedness
As always, thanks for listening and all the best.
