@esalen asked @linjiling and I some fantastic questions in preparation for our upcoming workshop...I wonder what would be your response to these?! What about your work brings you the most happiness? 
Paula: To witness the potential for transformation manifesting so beautifully in people as they emerge from a class or session. Which talent would you most like to have? 
Jiling: The resilient playfulness, flying, and rooting ability of dandelions! What is your favorite component of your work? Jiling: I love traveling and teaching, meeting new people and landscapes, and creating positive impact for planetary good! I also love the quieter work of one-on-one transformation in my clinical practice and getting to know individuals in therapeutic settings over time. Paula: The way it feels. Working with people and the natural world is a perfect bio-feedback loop; invariably, you feel the consequences of your words and actions. If you come from a space of humility, wildness, and belonging with what you give, your work will resonate, and you will feel it. It’s really delightful! ‍What or who is the greatest love of your life? 
Jiling: I am enamored by the ocean, mountains, deserts, and jungles of the world. What is your current state of mind?
 Paula: Like the ocean, variable. Currently fluctuating between vast/expansive/serene and disturbed/turbulent/ concerned for our future beyond the current storm(s). #proustquestionnaire #fiveelements #fiveelementsyoga #wildyoga #natureyoga #esaleninstitute #hotspringspas #yogaretreat2022
