How do you learn?
Have you ever explored this and sat with the intricacies of how you learn?
It has been such a journey for me over the past 18 years since I gave birth to my first born.
To delve into the deep waters of how we are informed and the breath taking uniqueness in that.
I’ve watched transfixed how my four children do this and observed it within myself. Until last year they all homeschooled.
Each one of us is entirely different in how we take on the task of learning.
It is so innate to us, this learning.
So deeply woven into our very being that propels us to understand ourselves.
To express the inner self out in the world.
For me learning works like a remembering. It’s a very felt thing and kind of messy. Not very linear at all.
During daydreaming/ contemplation/ meditation/ sleep I come to know something and then a confirmation or deeper understanding comes to me in the form of books/ a teacher/ a conversation/ a class or some other outer manifestation of the remembering.
It often feels backwards to how I “think” learning should happen. You can imagine how well that went at school 
My children all vary to. From trying things out over and over and over until something works, to a textbook kind of way to something that resembles mine and a myriad or things in between.
ALL however are driven by something within us. A yearning, a love, a knowing. Something unexplainable really.
The more I understand this and the more I witness the power and the beauty in this, the less I understand why we try and fill our children’s heads with what WE think they need to know to uphold the existing narrative. Without taking into consideration what already lives within them. I’m perplexed??
I have not been perfect at this by any means but the intense creative energy that surrounds a human being as they seek the understanding of a chosen topic is profound.
It’s a tangible energy that fills the space. It nourishes the soul so deeply. Filling it with strength.
Holding the space for this to occur reminds me of the feeling I get when holding space for birth. It’s timeless and profound.
Experiencing it within myself is like being activated. My senses sharpen. My feet and hands buzz. The world around me disappears. Sometimes I even get teary.
It’s like finding parts of myself I didn’t realise were missing.
Perhaps you’ve felt it?
I dream and imagine a day when we remember what learning truly is.
And that we hold space for each other as we rebirth parts of ourselves and gather information in our baskets of knowledge.
To do so is a most vulnerable and thrilling pursuit.
I’m so interested in understand all the different ways in which a human being can learn?
How is that you learn?
Have you witness or experienced learning in a way that has changed your perspective of learning?
I’m genuinely so fascinated in how many endless ways Life learns about itself through us.
May we find a way to truly see this in ourselves and each other.
May we become all we came here to be.
And may our pursuit of learning/ remembering be deeply driven by our spirit.
The part of us that is infinitely wise.
