I have a series of posts on Instagram showcasing elements of “my folklore”, that is to say the culture of *me.* This includes what we love, what we don’t, what we celebrate, and the paradoxes that we live. And when I say we, I am essentially referring to my (past, present, and future) community; but more cut and dry, I’m referring to *ME* and The Unseen Realm. My spirit, and the spirit of my business (which I’ve actually started referring to as a practice, more than business.)
The idea behind this series was to share more of me, of The Unseen Realm, in an easy way to get to know what we’re all about a little bit better.
One of my folklore posts declares:
“In my folklore, we love deep conversations and ‘big talk’ WAY more than small talk.”
I'm not much for small talk. The boring small talk about superficial topics, or gossip, or talking about the weather isn't my favourite… (but of course I *do* this last one, I'm Canadian 🤷).
In my folklore, in my life, I like THE BIG TALK and deep, meaningful conversations! Let's chat meaning of life, controversial topics, conspiracy theories, fan theories, new ideas, abstract or deep topics, psychology, or get a little philosophical (or a lot philosophical 💭🧠).
As I considered this part of my folklore, I realized that my inquisitive nature and love for big talk, could be in service to those of you on your conscious self-discovery, healing, spiritual, inner work, and/or personal development journeys!
So I've put together a list of spiritual-flavoured questions (which will make themselves into an Instagram series), for you to ponder and dig into your conscious self-discovery journey even more.
I invite you to explore not only the question itself, but also what your desired answer would be. I’ll add some examples of these extra explorations below select questions, and I encourage you to ask even more questions where you can.
These can also be used as conversation starters, with others! These questions aim to stimulate introspection, spark meaningful conversations, and resonate with individuals on their spiritual and self-discovery journeys.
