What Does 'Living the Question' Mean?

Welcome to another episode of Returning: A podcast to return to yourself and the wisdom within.

In this episode, I'm handing the space over to you to hear your questions, and we're going to hash it out together. Today we are exploring: What does 'living the question' mean?

So much in my life aligned once I really understood how to embody my intuition by living the question.

‘Live the question’ is a phrase that comes from one of my favourite books called ‘Letters to a Young Poet’ by Rainer Maria Rilke. Living the question has evolved into a key practice in my life. It changed everything for me once I really understood how to embody my intuition by living the question. I sense it can create significant shifts for you too.

In this episode, I share some big questions that I’m living into right now, as well as the practices I use that help me listen more deeply for the answers.

“‘Living the question’ is all about embodying our intuition - living from a state of curiosity, wonder and humility as we navigate the complexities of being human.” - Rebecca Campbell
