How to Feel Part of Something Bigger?

On the stories of belonging and not belonging, and the tension beneath them: where the wish to be held meets the fear of being seen.

November Greetings!

Feeling part of something bigger…

What does it mean? Why do humans look for this feeling, and how does it show up in the body?

The conversation moves through transcendence, belonging, approval, coherence, not belonging, and moments of silence.

We talk about sadness that expands and contracts, about being held by the breath of life, about crossing borders and never belonging to one world, about coherence, and more.


Irina

“Sadness is the process of transforming pain into love.”
“I felt the pain of the world transforming in my heart into love.”
“Any tiny shift in the state of one person creates a shift in the state of the whole system.”
“The experience of being held by life was so moving and unexpected.”


Yulia

“My nature is about crossing the borders… I’m always connecting worlds.”
“Group flow creates this good sensation that there is a place for me here.”
“When social conditioning was removed, I was just being content in love and totally connected to everyone in the room.”


Polina

“Going beyond the limits of something has been the name of the game for me.”
“Immigrating to another country was a transcendent experience, like landing on the moon.”
“Maybe belonging is when I feel welcome, when there is space for me, and when I am approved without having to perform.”


What does feeling part of something bigger mean for you?
