the Possibility Experiment: Recent Episodes
Kristin Mangas + Susan Elaine
You may have heard that ‘you have all the wisdom within,’ but how do you access those answers, much less integrate them in your real life? The Possibility Experiment is for the spiritually-curious who desire more autonomy, peace, calm, joy, and flow in their everyday lives. Kristin and Susan are hypnotherapists, Inner Voice facilitators, mothers and Human Design 3|5 emotional authorities who love experimenting and discovering what it means to live a spiritual life while still having “real world responsibilities” (hello day jobs, budgets and laundry). We’ll discuss our real life conundrums and channel our inner voices for fresh perspectives and practical solutions for you to try, too.If you are open to the possibility of a more magical and aligned life, learn more and subscribe at www.possibilityexperiment.com.
What is your relationship like with your inner voice and how has it changed? Do you still look to your inner voice for answers? What happens when you discover you're the 'villain' in someone else's journey? We discuss all of these questions and more with Gyan Gurung, a talented artist, storyteller, and agent & shepherd of joy.

Have you ever been reticent or anxious to connect to your own inner guidance? Perhaps you're afraid that your inner wisdom will tell you to do something you're not willing to do. Then this is the episode for you!
We talk about this and more in today's episode. We also ask our inner voices what have to say to those who are afraid or conflicted to connect to their own inner knowing and what to do when we don't like the guidance.
Have you ever wondered what it felt like to be easy with words, or have a constant stream of inspiration? We're continuing our journey into discovering Human Design. In this episode Kristen and Susan discuss energy centers (or chakras) along with what it feels to have defined vs. undefined centers.

Do you struggle with making decisions? Do you find that you need things to turn out a certain way to feel safe or satisfied?
Today we talk about choices and outcomes. Why we are so attached to how things turn out and how we can experiment with making new and different choices without needing the outcome to be a certain way.
This discussion came out of Episode 21's topic of Human Design Authority, or how we are designed to make decisions. Our inner voices have practical advice to share in this one, so listen all the way to the end!

Are you feeling tired of everything? Perhaps you feel bored, or just blah? Well today we're sharing a recording from July 2021. We were solidly one month into play and we were feeling bored. And we were judging it. So we took the following questions to our inner voices and the wisdom they shared gave us a whole new perspective.
- Why do we feel bored and blah?
- Can there be newness in the old?
- Is there value in being bored?
- How can the mind enjoy something it's judging?
- How do we move from judgement to being more open?

Do you need to be needed? We have both had seasons where they have felt like we 'needed to be needed' in order to be valuable or prove our worth. Listen in to hear why this is coming up for us now and what our inner voices have to say about the following questions:
- Are we needed? Why or why not?
- What do we need?
- If we're not needed, then why are we here?

- When we are connected to inner voices, is that alignment? (33:11)

- Is the goal of our lives to have continuous alignment? (34:51)
- The mind pursues alignment for pleasurable experiences. Is this true? (36:09)

Hear why we've shifted our vocabulary and what words we are embracing along with our questions for our inner voices including:
- What do you want us to know about the words we are embracing?

Recently, we were talking recently about words we don’t say anymore and it led us down a whole path around words in general. Some words we are letting go of include: grateful, gratitude, should, but, or and no.
Hear why we've shifted our vocabulary and what words we are embracing along with our questions for our inner voices including:
- Do words matter?
- Do words have vibrations?

You've probably heard 'be kind' before. We've said it countless times to our friends or kids, but are we focusing on the wrong thing? Is 'being kind' really the priority here?
This conversation was sparked by Joe Rogan's interview of Sadhguru and his perspective on what kind of people we should be focused on cultivating (it's probably not what you think).
Our inner voices share with us what is kindness, what is meanness and what is more beneficial to focus on than either of those things.

This episode flowed out of discussions of our week. Kristin experimented with maintaining unconditional alignment during her family vacation to Disney World, and Susan found alignment, despite her physical condition in this perfect now.
Then our inner voices had amazing things to share about what unconditional and conditional alignment are and how we connect to it (26:14)

We are sharing a full throwback episode from July 2021. It was one of the first times we ran out of questions for our inner voices and they just wanted to play! Inner voices covered a spectrum from what it means to play, to how to build trust and how we have no control and infinite control at the same time!
In this session we asked our inner voices:
- What does it mean to just play? (5:50)
- Is there such thing as too much lightness? (11:32)
- What happens when the mind tries to control the path? (14:31)
- What about the responsibilities of being a parent or a human and still following curiosity and joy? (21:43)
- When the mind tries to control due to responsibilities, replace that control with trust (23:13)
- How do we build trust? (25:05)
- Inner voice, you said we aren't in control and we are. How can that be?(26:47)
- How can we live from the inner voice more easily and more often? (31:12)

Today we are going back to December 2021 when our audio was not as good, but our inner voice connection was as strong as ever. After last week's episode on rest, it prompted us to think back to when our inner voices shared our word for the year (or the season). What our inner voices had to say about both rest and trust is too good not to share!
Next we jump to now, when we talk about how we are thinking about trust and rest now and how that is coming up for us including how we have more control in our lives than we expect, but not in the way our mind expects.

I don't know about you, but we can't seem to get enough rest. With all the priorities filling our awareness, even when we 'take a break,' we don't seem to replenish the deep exhaustion we feel. Our inner voices have some pretty amazing advice (they were chomping at the bit to speak). And we asked the following questions:
- What do you want to say about rest? (13:24)
- What is the difference between rest or distractions (or procrastination) (15:12)
- You said 'rest is relief.' Relief from what? (16:21)
- How can we trust that 'all is well' even with all we still need to do? (16:50)
- When we are overhwelmed, how do we find rest? (18:11)
- How do we find more space for ourselves inside of what is our life right now? (29:10)

We discuss the paradox of commitment and specifically 'whatever it takes' energy and how that resonates (or doesn't) with where we are now. Then we ask our inner voices the following questions (@9:20):
- How do you view commitment? (9:54)
- How do expectations keep us from our desires? (10:54)
- How do we know what to commit to? How do we prioritize that focus and commitment (13:05)
- If our mind is not willing to do "whatever it takes" does that mean that we won't have what we want? (15:42)
- Could that be an indicator that we don't actually want that desire? (17:37)
- What about commitments to others, Inner voices? (23:03)
- We guide you to ask yourself "what is it that I really want?" (25:15)
We discuss what came up for us as our true desires.

In honor of Valentine’s day, we are celebrating and appreciating all things about friendship. We talk about how we think of friendship and how that has changed as we’ve gotten older and as the world has changed. We also remember how we met and became friends (10:16)
We connect to our inner voices (19:36) and ask:
- How do inner voices view friendship?
- What do inner voices look for in a friend?
- When do you know a friendship is worth the energy, or when it’s time to move on?
- What can we do to be better friends to each other and the world?
- Have Susan and Kristin known each other before in other lifetimes?

Have you heard 'just let it go' or 'you need to just detach and allow'? But why do we find it so hard to actually to do that? In our weekly session, Our inner voices shared that letting go is NOT the same thing as not caring(!). That piqued our curiosity, so join us as we explore what's been coming up for us around letting go, and how or inner voice's perspective opened us to integrating letting go more and more into our everyday lives.
We discuss:
- Why this topic has been coming up for us
- What it means to us to 'let go'
- Our minds' reaction to letting go
- What has our experience been in letting go.
Then we connect to our inner voices to ask:
- What is 'letting go?'
- How is it different than caring?
- Why does it sometimes feel hard to let go?
- Do you have to let go of everything?
- What is one thing we can let go of right now?

- What we have resistance to when we think about being selfish
- How words like ‘selfish’ and ‘lazy’ can be triggering for our minds
- Our parenting conundrums with fostering selfishness and connection
