Radical Empathy | Yoga to Awaken

Aloha, Friend!

Radical empathy is when we send get well wishes instead of I-told-you-sos to those who did super-risky things even though being warned they were a danger.

Radical empathy is when your tiny son shows up at 3 am at the side of the bed with bad dreams and wants to crawl in bed with you, and you comfort him.

Radial empathy is when your 16-hour workday just got longer because your friend or mate wants to process something that happened a year ago, and you listen, long enough so you both feel good about setting a time tomorrow to discuss it.

Radical empathy is arising an hour early to take care of yourself with meditation, yoga, and creative expression so you’ll be more present for others, healthier, and happier the whole rest of the day.

Fanaticism is the opposite.

Fanaticism is when you wish anyone were dead.

Fanaticism is the fearful, ignorant, angry, jealous blob in the throat that discolors all someone says or does.

“Fanaticism is the danger of the world,” wrote Bertrand Russell. “It always has been and has done untold harm. I think fanaticism is the greatest danger there is. I might almost say that I was fanatical against fanaticism.”

Fanaticism has no moral center. To love is wise. To empathize is wise. To see the whole and see it clearly is wise.

Fanaticism loosens the fragile web of interconnections that keep us together. This world is getting more and more closely interconnected, and the threads of courtesy, caring, and tolerance of each other are more important now than ever.

Radical empathy teaches us to put up with what some people say, things that we don’t like. We can only live together if we are willing to listen, to learn about ourselves and others in a respectful way. We help shape and shine each other up in our caring relationships and loving communications.

That way, as we live together instead of killing each other, we welcome the kind of charity and tolerance, the radical empathy, which is absolutely vital to the continuation of human life on this planet.
The one thing we might joyfully be fanatical about is radical empathy.

With radical empathy, Marya

What is “evolutionary intelligence?

“Evolution is the evolution of intelligence. And one could make a very good argument we’re not acting very intelligently now. We’re destroying the very ecosystem that gives us life and will sustain our species for the future. The whole concept of evolution is that it spreads our genetic material into the future and preserves us as a species. Are we preserving ourselves as a species now? Are these pandemic zoonotic diseases emblematic of our intelligence or emblematic of our ignorance?

“If you’re aware of your environment, you’re responsive to changes in your environment. You strategize to succeed and you protect your genomic destiny—that’s the lesson of evolution and the underpinnings of evolutionary intelligence. I think some could make the argument that we are not being evolutionarily intelligent at this point in time, given the fact that we are polluting and destroying the very foundation of the soils and the ecosystems that have given us birth and so will sustain future generations.” —Paul Stamets

The problem is that people who have had one slice of the truth think that it’s the entire pie.” – Paul Stamets, radical mycologist who says global healing depends on mushrooms (http://nautil.us/issue/90/something-green/how-psilocybin-can-save-the-environment)

QUANTUM HEALING & PSYCH-K

Whatever you wish to materialize into physical reality, whether that is world peace, awakening to your true embodied nature, or more friends, abundance, health, creativity, and/or the ideal relationship, knowing your essence is the first key to accomplishment.

The problem arises when we are traumatized. Trauma touches all of our lives, and right now we’re collectively experiencing the effects of traumatic events with global impacts. And there is hope.
During these transformative sessions, you’ll:

-Understand how to stop perceiving the world based on past trauma.
-Transform old reactions into wise actions based on your soul’s wisdom.
-Learn to identify unconscious patterns and know how they are being triggered.
-Discover how to make your innate power and intuition more accessible.
-Explore and align your body wisdom, your heart’s wisdom, and your cosmic wisdom.
-Shift stressful signals into healing vibrations.
