What Keeps You Standing When the World Feels Shaky? With Edward Viljoen, December 1, 2024

Share it Please
In times like these, it’s no wonder many of us feel unsettled. The weight of economic instability, environmental challenges, and the overwhelming flow of information can leave us questioning our footing. When life feels unpredictable or even frightening, how do we find a place to stand?

Tomorrow, we’ll explore this in a message titled “Standing on Solid Air.” It’s a paradoxical concept—air isn’t supportive like solid ground—yet it invites us to consider the invisible structures in our lives that can hold us steady when everything else feels uncertain.

Drawing inspiration from personal stories and real-life examples, we’ll delve into:

  • Testing Spiritual Principles: How can we find confidence in something we can’t see, yet know to be reliable? We’ll talk about moving beyond blind faith and toward practices that invite clarity, compassion, and inner stability.
  • Embracing Uncertainty: Journalist Maggie Jackson’s experience of confronting the unknown through ocean swimming demonstrates how leaning into discomfort builds adaptability and strength.
  • Befriending Fear: Discover the power of working with, rather than against, the scared parts of yourself. Using the acronym NOTICE, you’ll learn a practical method to transform fear into a source of wisdom and connection by drawing upon the Internal Family Systems method.

We’ll also hear the inspiring story of Bethany Hamilton, the surfer who, after losing her arm in a shark attack at just 13 years old, returned to the water with determination, resilience, and an unstoppable spirit. Her journey is a moving testament to how courage and adaptability can help us stand in the face of life’s greatest challenges.

I have been through the book three times over three years, and am starting it again. This is not because the material in the book is not working, but because it is working so well! The weekly lessons keep me on track and focused on what is actually true and important, and help me experience more good in every area of my life. LS
