Tonight, Meenal Kelkar, one of our regular circle participants, shared one of her practices that she developed with a basis in NVC with some other elements she added from various other things she has been exposed to over the past few years. She led us through a beautiful meditation where we identified various aspects of experience (how we experience). She then led us through exploring something in our life that we want to expand or grow or shift. We looked at it as we want it to be in the future and then we looked at where we are today. We took our time with each and noticed certain qualities in each.
The message in this experience was that we tend to downplay, or take for granted the needs being met right now by our current situation. We create this future vision out of a desire to meet needs that maybe are not being met, or not to the extent we want, or in the way we prefer. Meenal shared that by appreciating the needs that are being met in our life the way it is right now, we open up an opportunity to build a bridge to that future we envision for ourselves.
After the meditation exercise, each of us shared about our experience and what we noticed, or what our insight was, for example.
Thank you Meenal, for sharing this process with us tonight!
