I understand better the feeling I got when I did the base course with Els a few weeks ago ...... nobody said "why aren't you leading?" but I thought it a few times ...... the experience leaves some marks but it was also so very much teaching, cause parallel frustration came out and in the turmoil of it she made me understand that I could lead with whatever I had in the group ... It was the best way to really learn it ... Next times on I was full of love for the practice

Super cool podcast. Though i do feel you just spend 40 minutes talking about a concept and its implications, without describing how is works? Is circling about sitting and looking each other in the eyes for some time? Is there further action to this practice? greetings from dk

What a great question! I'd like to share some resources with you. In my experience, circling is the single most transformative modality for inner healing and psychedelic exploration. Below is a written guide and a video intro. www.thecontainerpod.com/post/a-beginner-s-guide-to-circling kzbin.info/www/bejne/fprEimiebdqZadksi=HgicdPgWmsLU_Deg

Why do use the K in magic?

That's a very good question, and it opens up, I think, an interesting discussion. "Magick" (with that funky K) was an English spelling used as far back as the 17th century by occultists like Agrippa. So, it was an accepted alternative spelling for a while until the less redundant "magic" gradually took over. But in the 20th century, the term "magic" was more and more associated with illusion (like pulling bunnies out of hats), rather than what we might call "real" magick (like rituals to invoke spirits or divination or many of the practices of yoga). Aleister Crowley is generally thought to be the guy that started using the old spelling "magick" to refer to practices that try to make change in the universe, as opposed to making illusions. I chose "magick" for the spelling here for several reasons. 1) I think it is more accurate. 2) It takes a firmer stand that circling REALLY is something spooky, mystical, and beautiful--not an illusion. 3) It added the right dose of provocation. 4) It "felt right" when I saw the thumbnail. I hope this was fun and informative. Thanks for reaching out!
