Episode 105: Natural Wisdom

January 14, 2025 • Judy Lief

[This episode originally aired on January 24, 2023] Through infusing mindfulness and awareness into our everyday actions, we can invoke or evoke a magical quality to existence, a natural wisdom which is known as “drala” • there's a famous line from the movie Field of Dreams that's often repeated: “If you build it, they will come” • in some ways, through our mindfulness and awareness, we're building a world that will attract this magical quality, this natural wisdom • if we build our mindfulness and awareness, something is transformed, something magical descends — and it connects us with something very deep and fundamental, not just within us, but within the the world altogether • the basic approach is paying attention and organizing your own environment so it becomes sacred space, harmonizing both the external and the internal environment • in this way we can invite a quality of greater sacredness and delight.
