Hi,
My name's Becca Gardner.
I thought I'd make you this video because I want you to get a real feel for how I share information here on this platform.
So whether that's a track,
A course,
Or a live.
So what's really important to recognize is that we have been taught to listen for information.
Listen for the thing we need to remember,
The thing we need to do,
The technique we need to practice.
The steps that we need to put into place in our own lives and what I share isn't that?
I'm not giving you a prescription.
I'm not giving you something that you need to go away into your life and do.
In summer.
And quite the opposite.
I'm pointing you towards something that I believe you already know.
Something underneath everything you've learnt about yourself.
Underneath all the conditionings.
And everything the mind has innocently collected over the years about who you are,
How you should be,
How change works,
What you need to do to feel better.
So when you listen to me,
I don't want you to worry too much about the words.
Language is really only the vehicle we're using to have this conversation,
But the words themselves aren't the important bit.
Think about listening to a piece of music.
You don't listen to a song thinking,
I need to remember every single word.
I need to understand every single note that was played.
I need to work out exactly what the drummer was doing at that bit one minute in.
Course you don't.
You just listen.
And somehow you get a feel for the whole thing.
The word feel is so important here,
Because something lands.
And maybe if somebody asked you,
You couldn't really explain why.
And that is so much closer to how I'd love you to listen to what I share.
Let the words,
In the best way you can,
Wash over you.
You don't have to agree with everything I say.
And actually,
You don't really need to understand it either.
You don't even have to remember it.
If you'll mind saying.
What do I do with this?
How do I apply it?
Am I getting this right?
You can simply notice that too.
Because that's just the mind doing what it's learned to do over the years,
Trying to turn understanding into another job.
There's no test at the end of this.
I'm not giving you more information to carry around.
What I'm pointing towards is something much more fundamental.
Who you are before everything you've learned to think about yourself.
Here you are,
Beyond this conditioned mind.
And I'm using words to point there,
But the words can only ever point.
They're not the thing itself.
It's a bit like me pointing towards the moon.
You don't need to study my finger.
Look where I'm pointing.
Look to your own experience.
So as you listen to these sessions,
Courses,
Talks.
See if you can listen a little bit more like listening to a piece of music.
Relax your grip on needing to understand and let yourself be.
Hear the whole thing rather than collecting individual pieces.
Because some things might land.
And some things might not.
Something I say today might mean absolutely nothing to you.
And then,
Trust me,
Three weeks from now,
You might suddenly see what I was pointing to while you're making a cup of tea or cutting up some carrots.
That's the beauty of this,
That's the magic.
We're looking in a fresh direction towards what is already here,
Towards what you already are.
Enjoy.
Relax.
Listen,
Be curious.
And just see what you hear.
I look forward to seeing you hopefully on a live so we can kind of explore together and see what unfolds.
I'm so excited.
