Hello, hello, and welcome to the Borealis

experience. I'm your host Aurora. And I'm very happy to be

spending some time with you today. It is Easter Monday. And

we got fresh snow again. Folks, me so I wanted spring I want to

summer. Oh, well, that's gonna come soon. I hope you had a good

weekend. If you spend Easter by yourself, I hope it was okay. I

hope you were able to connect with family. And if you were

able to spend Easter with your family, then please know how

blessed you are. If you're not religious, and Easter doesn't

mean anything to you, then I love you anyways. Because

religion is just a very small part of my life. Still, today, I

decided to talk about your beliefs and religion because I

find it very, very important that we stay aware that our

experience here on planet Earth is unique. By the way, my little

dog here is strolling around sniffing around, so don't mind

the background noise, I'm not going to cut it out. Because

he's part of this podcast. So yeah, even though we sometimes

look alike, and we have the same hobbies, we have the same views

on maybe politics or entertainment or whatever, we

still have a very different approach when it comes to life,

we have a different perspective. And same goes with beliefs and

religion. I feel we're addressing racism right now. And

it's very timely. I don't want to say it's too late. But I wish

it would have happened a little earlier. But that's okay. Racism

is being addressed. And, yeah, this is beautiful. More and more

people voice, their discomfort, more and more people are aware

of what is causing discomfort. And this is just a very

beautiful change that I can observe here. And when it comes

to religion, I feel it has to go the same way. As I said, I'm not

very religious, I have my spiritual practice. And even

there when I started to heal, when I started to feel better

what with myself, when I started to get a grip on my depression

and my anger inside of me, I discovered a couple tools that

were really good for me, I started practicing meditation

and yoga and just being open to spiritual practices. And then I

started talking to people who were suffering from the same

problems. And I observed myself trying to convince them that

this is the way to go. This is what you got to do in order to

feel better. And they were listening and very interested

yet. When we met a couple weeks later, I knew right away or they

didn't practice they didn't work on themselves and they didn't

progress and then made me so mad and upset. And this is by the

way called abuse to when you are trying to make another person do

something. But they're not ready yet. They don't want to heal

right now. They don't want to progress. So I found myself

being very frustrated and angry at times. And now my dog found

something to nibble on. What is it dozer, oh, rose petal, and he

chews on it as if it was a heavy beef bone. So I was frustrated

with my friends or acquaintances. And now I realize

no everybody heals at their own time, wakes up at their own time

and believes what whatever they want to believe. So I think what

I want this episode to be about as I'm very like in intrigued by

people who have strong beliefs and who are.

Yeah, very religious, I find it very interesting because me

myself, I was always interested in too many things at the same

time that I didn't want to close myself up focusing just on one

religion or one hobby. And I admire people how much focus

they can put into it and really live that believe in the

religion. But I think at the same time, it is so important to

know that we are all in the same boat. And we all have the same

intentions, the same agenda, we want to live in comfort. Yeah,

we don't want to live under stress, we want to provide for

our families, and we want to live at peace. And we want to

believe in a higher force, something that gives us hope,

and gives us strength, and makes us feel as if we are part of a

big, big picture. And it doesn't matter how it looks like. So for

people out there who are extremely strict religious,

they're probably not going to listen to my podcast, but maybe

it resonates with you, maybe you feel the same, that we have to

be curious about each other's beliefs, and how we, let's say

approach healing, how we approach spirituality. But we

cannot walk around and try and convert people or try and make

people feel shitty, if they choose to believe in something

else. If you choose to not celebrate Easter, because it's

not part of your spirituality, then awesome. If you have the

five star dinner, here three days in a row, because of

Easter, then Wow, this is super cool. But also be open for

people who have different beliefs. So again, we approach

life very differently. When you look at siblings, that goes

through the divorce of their parents, they will experience it

on very different levels. There's going to be one sibling

who's relieved and who feels like yes, now we can finally

live at peace. And the other sibling is totally in pain and

devastated. And there's a huge gap now between those two or

more siblings that have to go through divorce. And when it

comes to religion, I lived on the little island island called

Mauritius for a couple weeks. And it was so beautiful and

precious. There were Asian people, with people from Africa

with people from Europe, living together and small spaces. There

were Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Muslims, like kids

sharing the bus ride in the morning, and I was just sitting

among them taking a ride to the beach, and sad Wow. Like those

cultures, in other parts of the world, are hating each other are

totally avoiding each other. And here on this little magical

Island. We all live together. And there were these beautiful,

colorful fruit and vegetable markets where all the cultures

were representing what? Yeah, the fruit and the vegetables

said they had growing in their community and suggesting

recipes. And it was so colorful, it was so beautiful. And yeah,

there might be some conflict too. But what I experienced

there for a couple of weeks is that it's pretty peaceful. And

on very small grounds. all different kinds of religions are

living together because they allow themselves to be

different. They are proud of who they are of what they believe

in. But they don't judge the other person of being different

and they are maybe even curious about the way that other people

live and approach life. So yeah, this is just a little episode

talk. about religion, I wanted to avoid religion and politics

at all costs.

But

I think it is important to talk about it. And it is important

for you to know maybe how I think and feel about it. I'm

always very glad and curious and thankful to learn about new

religions, new ways of living spirituality. So if you want to

connect with me on Facebook, feel free to contact me and let

me know about your practices. You can also join me on
