How we deal with memory & loss has a profound effect on how we experience our present

Talking with poet/ writer Mademoiselle Maxime is always an enlightening experience. Never more true than in this podcast episode when we recorded our conversation as friends and she shared her insight and revelations to do with loss and grief.

Most of us have at some point struggled with loss, whether it’s through the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, moving to another country and starting again, or losing something irreplaceably precious. Mademoiselle Maxime explains her perception of this occurrence, how she deals with it to arrive at a place of acceptance. She then goes further to expand our view as to how she absorbs the experience by transforming it to create a new entity of energetic form, a new “product” transmuted from the sadness or helplessness.

Mademoiselle Maxime discusses how this opens up a sense of profound compassion which then blurs the lines of loss, thus allowing its life to be continued in a new form. From her perspective as an artist she informs us as to how to how we can all open up to transmuting an experience of loss and grief by embracing a total connection and embodiment with what has been lost.

In this spirit of transmutation, transformation, we then explore how to further transcend our limitations by the practice of releasing judgmentalism, which can often become a trap for lack of acceptance of self. The weight of the perceived negative opinion of others on us can be paralysing. So how do we free ourselves of that?

How triggered we are by individuals has a connection with how much we judge others. Perhaps that’s where the fear of other people’s opinions comes from because we’re worried that they are as harsh on us as we are on them. Non judgment of others is a way of freeing ourselves of the toxic judgement of our own selves.

The osmosis of unlocking freedom from within ourselves is something we ourselves need to do without relying on others. There is only so long that we can point the finger at others for sources of pain. We must be our own Liberator to achieve true authenticity, freedom and peace.

It is with great pleasure that I share this conversation with Mademoiselle Maxime and now here with you dear reader/listener. I hope you enjoy our energy and resonate with us in an uplifting way.
