SLP 498: You Are More Than Your Mind, Bo...

THE WELLNESS COUCH
About this episode

‘The N8 Self, again it stands for our higher nature – N8 – it has eight characteristics, But, it has some qualities outside of characteristics and one of those qualities is – it is both individual and universal. So, it’s something I have, but it’s something you have, we all have this aspect of self. That is our being, that is our essence, the energy in our life. And I wanted to be sure that it was tangible, so how do we break it down into characteristics that we can like build on.’ ~ Jules Kuroda

In this uplifting episode, Jules Kuroda shares the wisdom behind The N8 Self, a framework designed to reconnect us with the human spirit – the often overlooked but essential aspect of our being. Drawing on her global experiences and deep spiritual insight, Jules explains how the N8 Self is both individual and universal, offering a tangible path to self-awareness and fulfillment.

Through the lens of eight core characteristics – Character, Contribution, Connection, Creativity, Gratitude, Generosity, Courage, and Meaning – Jules invites us to rediscover our innate light, reflect on our values, and reframe the way we relate to ourselves and others. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that we are all meaning makers, wired for connection, and capable of great courage and contribution.

As you will see in this week’s show, we discover how embracing your true self – light, shadow, and all – can lead to a more purposeful, connected, and joy-filled life.

Jules Kuroda’s life passion is helping people get past the ideas they have of themselves to unlock more fulfillment. She hopes to bring more joy and understanding into the world through her book The N8 Self.

The N8 Self invites the reader into holistic connection beyond just the mind, body, and heart and into the aspect of self we don’t talk much about, the human spirit. This powerful part of our human experience drives our need for connection and meaning. Without a framework to wrestle with, this part of self often gets left out of how we think about ourselves.

The N8 Self offers a tangible way to understand and cultivate more meaning and purpose in our lives. Through eight characteristics, the reader will discover both the individual and universal way we are all wired for connection and meaning.

Discover principles that:

  • Give you different tools to shift listlessness and anxiety
  • Identify core values and ways you long to contribute
  • Cultivate gratitude, generosity, and creativity
  • Discover meaning through rethinking connection

The N8 Self is for those who are seeking for more meaning and purpose in life, or for those who are looking to understand themselves more fully.

Her definition of Self Love is: being, and taking care of the deepest part of you, the hidden parts of you, the secrets, the treasure… and let it shine. Let your light shine.

Her favourite quote is from Rumi: “Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there.”

Quotes: I have worked with many different cultures which is actually a connective thread. The connective thread of humanity is the essence the spiritual connection. In Japan the only way we could communicate was through experiences! I learned how to not feel alone and for that I am so grateful. It showed me the fortitude and what I was made of and that I can do really hard things. We are so easily distracted its important we notice those distractions and then pause. Are you paying attention to a person you are listening to or are you paying attention to the thoughts you have about them. We don’t often experience full true presence with another and when we do it is so powerful. There is something really powerful in the reframe. It is very easy to get cynical and hardened by the world. I wanted to give language to the innate spiritual part of us. It’s important we recognise the light within us and encourage the light in others. What’s the contribution you want to make? There is connection with self and there is connection with others. Judgement keeps us from being connected to one another. A smile is a small way to connect. Self-sacrifice is embedded in courage. A good wolf and bad wolf lives inside of you – it depends on which one you feed. Life teaches people how to become hard and it is possible to succumb to the dark. Bravery is facing a fear, courage is doing something willingly and important to do. Service is a way of healing a part of those wounds, helping someone else. Creativity is the spice of life. It’s more blessed to give than receive. We all seek meaning and significance. Meaning helps us to become who we are meant to be – we are all meaning makers. We are on a journey of learning. Loneliness is not isolatorary, we are not alone, loneliness is a situation we create. Being the best version of yourself is the best thing we can hope for. Live your one precious life in this way and be grateful for it. The unknown is always the unknown. There are 8 characteristics of the N8 self – Character, Contribution, Connection, Creativity, Gratitude, Generosity, Courage, Meaning.
