Intuition

Cultivating inner knowing

A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:

How do I start living the moment, rather than the future?

September 27, 2025

A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:

In what ways can creativity be used to help others?

September 27, 2025

The practices I’m finding most helpful at the moment are:

Journaling,Creating Music/Art

A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:

Arriving to my new home for the next three months in a lovely host family & connecting to the people in it <3

September 27, 2025

A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:

I thought meeting people my age would be easier, but turned out to be quite hard + not really knowing what I’m doing here, still have to figure that out more clearly.

Courage

Aligning action

Assumptions I'm examining right now are:

Time/Attention

September 27, 2025

I originally assumed:

I used to think if I would give myself a lot of time instead of planning my days full as I used to do, I would be able to find my inner peace and transform in certain ways

September 27, 2025

These assumptions are changing:

Now I sense I do need to put an effort into reaching such goals by myself, rather than waiting for the magic to happen.

September 27, 2025

A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:

This is something I’m struggling with, since I put my safety first but now feel like I might be too comfortable. I’m doing new things, yes, but those aren’t as far out of my comfortzone as I’d hope. So, I’m going to start actively finding ways to challenge myself from now on.

Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:

Again, the buddy system!!

Also, group coaching :)

Thank you so much for reminding everyone about every meeting and also reminding me personally about lists of things I still need to do in Circle - this has helped me a lot because otherwise I fear I would definitely have forgotten some important things!! Thanks Liz!
