Welcome to this podcast.
Today I'm going to tell you a little story.
This podcast is presented by Life Exploratrice,
Yoga teacher in Paris and online internationally,
Guiding gentle and meditative sessions.
There were once a flower,
Among billions of them,
A lot of lot of flowers.
And let's look at the story of this little one first,
With her little body,
Green and a little bit hairy,
With so much life and so much beauty.
And its little leaves.
This flower was experiencing a unique experience.
Feeling whatever was going through her body.
Feeling,
Hearing,
Tasting,
Touching.
This little flower was in her world and she has her own experience,
Own relationship with the sun,
With the earth.
Until one day the little flower starts to ask herself some questions.
And this event,
These questions came about following a lot of changes in her world.
Violent rain days and violent storms.
And then suddenly a heat,
A lot of sun.
And then suddenly a lot of cold.
And this little flower starts to question what does it all mean?
What is all of that?
Am I the only one experiencing all these changes over and over?
The little flower starts pondering a lot of questions,
As you can see.
And those questions were like little seeds inside her.
See the beauty of seeds inside a flower.
And these little seeds,
Without even her knowing,
Just were really cozy inside of her.
And slowly the little flower,
One day,
Without even noticing it,
Starts to look around her with new eyes.
Suddenly she noticed that she was not the only one.
That actually what was surrounding her was all the flowers.
They were not just the environment.
There were a lot of her in a lot of the area.
She couldn't even count the number of flowers surrounding her.
And then the questions start to go quicker and quicker in her mind,
Such as,
How many are they?
Do they ask themselves the same questions as me?
What are their experiences?
Are they questioning what is happening right now?
Where do we have to pass all these changes?
The rain,
The sun,
The cold,
The storm.
And she starts wondering and looking,
Looking.
But the little flower could not move.
She just could not move.
She wanted to look around and explore the ground and see how many flowers were there.
She would say,
Can I talk to them one by one?
And she starts feeling trapped,
Not having the possibility to move.
Until one day,
The questions became so many,
So predominant in her mind,
In her experience,
That the only solution that came to her was to look as close as she could.
So she was not now searching to meet the flowers and maybe walk around and see what was going on on the other side of the area.
Now another idea came to her.
The moment of acceptance,
Of the feeling of being trapped,
Actually opened her a new door.
The door of immense comprehension and connection to whatever she was asking for.
And so this little flower,
What did she do exactly?
Did she succeed to have answers to her question?
Was there answers to her question?
And what about the other flowers?
So the little flower,
Connected to the earth,
Connected to the sun,
The air,
And connected in a way,
Now having consciousness of all the other flowers around her,
Started to close her eyes,
Started to close her ears.
And investigate if it was possible to feel,
See and hear in another way,
Without the eyes,
Without the ears,
Without the thoughts.
And to comprehend her,
You really have to understand that this little flower felt really trapped and she looked for so many solutions and she tried and tried and it didn't seem to have an end and it was so much pain and suffering.
And in this moment,
One moment,
She found naturally the gate to something different,
Something she hadn't explored until now.
So the eyes closed,
The ears closed and she didn't move at all without a touch.
Suddenly,
A silence came.
Suddenly,
The flower was not the flower anymore.
It's like she has now connection and she could now see the stars.
She could now see the many many flowers.
She could now see the clouds,
The sky,
And the stars and she goes up up up.
She could see everything.
And now she understood.
But there was no words and no concept of comprehension whatsoever.
It just felt right.
It just felt clear and she stayed there.
And slowly,
The little flower opened and again her eyes,
Opened again her ears and all her senses.
And she looked,
She looked at her body,
She looked at her magnificent leaves and she looked around and she has new eyes.
Now,
All the flowers around her was not all the flowers.
She was not just one flower thinking.
All were the same,
Coming from the same place.
There was no difference and she could just feel the sensation of floatment,
Of ease and acceptation of whatever is.
And this beautiful creation in its wholeness,
In its spaciousness,
Vastness,
Creativeness,
Beauty,
Love,
Peace.
Joy.
On that note,
I hope this little story was interesting and maybe you'll listen to this little story while trying to sleep,
While trying to relax.
And in that case,
I'm going to keep it down and wish you a lovely evening,
Lovely night.
And there are the stars connected to the stars,
Seeing the big pictures,
Seeing the beauty,
The peace,
The love already here and now.
In all things.
