retro grade. 00:00:13.830 --> 00:00:19.980 In which everyone I know was either sick or dealing with some major disaster. 00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:22.230 I had. 00:00:23.010 --> 00:00:24.300 Some illness. 00:00:24.990 --> 00:00:28.770 That you'll hear in my voice off and on in this recording. 00:00:29.370 --> 00:00:33.360 My grandmother is currently still in the hospital. 00:00:33.960 --> 00:00:37.710 And my beloved koi fish, Nico. 00:00:38.400 --> 00:00:43.290 Was presumed, dead and eaten by a crane or a Hawk. 00:00:43.950 --> 00:00:46.920 And was gone for 10 days and reappeared. 00:00:48.090 --> 00:00:49.500 The night before last. 00:00:50.100 --> 00:00:52.440 In desperate need of medical attention. 00:00:52.461 --> 00:00:53.301 Please. 00:00:54.261 --> 00:00:58.235 Forgive what, is maybe not the most delicious edited 00:00:58.415 --> 00:01:00.095 podcast that we have here. 00:01:01.865 --> 00:01:06.275 Welcome to she who is seeking healing. 00:01:09.445 --> 00:01:14.305 I'm Meena Melissa Leigh and this is the She Who Is Seeking podcast. 00:01:14.991 --> 00:01:22.275 And today I would love to welcome you into our magic space, our little 00:01:22.275 --> 00:01:28.605 parlor, grab yourself a lovely cup of tea, or start that scenic drive, 00:01:29.115 --> 00:01:36.435 go for a walk or get in the sauna, today on the show we explore healing. 00:01:37.215 --> 00:01:42.135 We touch on what is nearly a bottomless subject for me, at least. 00:01:42.675 --> 00:01:44.715 And I suspect for you too. 00:01:46.035 --> 00:01:47.355 So some background. 00:01:48.415 --> 00:01:51.715 Let's go back about nine years or so. 00:01:52.465 --> 00:01:57.745 I found myself in deep pain and it was stemming from a marriage I had 00:01:57.745 --> 00:01:59.725 really fought for, but was over. 00:02:00.725 --> 00:02:06.575 I had to start all over again in a new city with a tiny toddler and a baby. 00:02:07.945 --> 00:02:12.075 Two precious little souls that needed me to be okay and take 00:02:12.075 --> 00:02:14.175 care of them and fix everything. 00:02:15.045 --> 00:02:21.825 I knew I needed healing from it all too, but I felt BLOWN, I was in mama 00:02:21.825 --> 00:02:26.985 bear mode and doing what needed to be done, but really in need of healing. 00:02:28.035 --> 00:02:33.825 I knew I needed to be a clear vessel to be a conduit of healing for them, but 00:02:33.825 --> 00:02:35.865 it just felt like it was all too much. 00:02:36.865 --> 00:02:41.545 I returned to practices that had gotten me through other tough times, 00:02:42.265 --> 00:02:44.815 meditation and Kundalini yoga. 00:02:45.865 --> 00:02:48.355 And that is where I met my next teacher. 00:02:48.775 --> 00:02:54.775 Wahe Guru Kaur I signed up to do a year long healer training course with her 00:02:55.495 --> 00:03:01.555 focused around Celtic, shamanism and healing breath work in this course, 00:03:01.645 --> 00:03:09.595 there was so much remembering, and awakening, her love always shines 00:03:09.595 --> 00:03:14.845 through and the space we opened when we called in the elements, directions, 00:03:14.875 --> 00:03:21.805 guides and guardians felt warm, powerful, and safe, and had a glow. 00:03:22.465 --> 00:03:26.485 We were someplace else where the healing comes through 00:03:26.485 --> 00:03:29.455 portals that time out of time. 00:03:30.455 --> 00:03:32.075 Recalling practices. 00:03:32.105 --> 00:03:35.735 I had played with as a youth and learning new techniques 00:03:35.735 --> 00:03:38.675 felt natural, like memories. 00:03:39.575 --> 00:03:41.945 The group was loving and supportive. 00:03:42.725 --> 00:03:46.085 When you go through such deep and vulnerable work with people in the 00:03:46.085 --> 00:03:51.875 same path, you connect in a way that's more soul to soul than heart. 00:03:52.875 --> 00:03:57.735 Each season, we explored the elements in a deep and visceral way, 00:03:58.545 --> 00:04:00.855 connecting us to our true essence. 00:04:01.335 --> 00:04:03.045 For me, it was through the pain. 00:04:03.735 --> 00:04:04.725 We went in deep. 00:04:05.355 --> 00:04:14.535 I say that to say I was raw, my nerves open and like electric wires, the 00:04:14.535 --> 00:04:18.315 body remembers the psyche remembers. 00:04:18.735 --> 00:04:25.215 And so does the spirit, there's no time limits or barriers to unprocessed pain. 00:04:26.385 --> 00:04:33.375 It lives in a space between time in our cells and DNA ,in our 00:04:33.375 --> 00:04:36.165 lineage and our personal narrative. 00:04:37.275 --> 00:04:43.005 What we carry around as raw material in our coding echoes through memory, 00:04:43.725 --> 00:04:46.845 epigenetics and ancestral heritage. 00:04:48.210 --> 00:04:52.530 It goes up and down the family tree and back into history. 00:04:53.530 --> 00:04:56.920 If we don't accept the challenge of doing this work in our own lives, 00:04:57.400 --> 00:05:02.470 it trickles through our family trees, into the new shoots and 00:05:02.740 --> 00:05:04.990 fresh growth birthed into being. 00:05:05.950 --> 00:05:10.240 For my children, I knew it required me to acknowledge the pain of our 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:13.180 lineage and of the history of my own. 00:05:14.180 --> 00:05:16.700 They say history repeats itself. 00:05:17.300 --> 00:05:21.440 It can be a reminder or it can be an ominous warning. 00:05:22.440 --> 00:05:25.650 I would start to lose my voice out of nowhere during these 00:05:25.650 --> 00:05:27.750 really heavy healing weekends. 00:05:28.550 --> 00:05:32.720 My throat chakra and all its connections, sending clear messages 00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:39.620 to me about what I was and wasn't acknowledging and which truths I was, 00:05:39.770 --> 00:05:41.870 or wasn't speaking out into the world. 00:05:43.340 --> 00:05:49.700 I wanted to accept and pursue a lightness of being, but as we uncovered 00:05:49.700 --> 00:05:54.560 layers, one by one, we can see them more clearly for what they are. 00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:57.890 Rather than what we always assumed them to be. 00:05:58.890 --> 00:06:02.940 It's clear how things fit together and amplify one another. 00:06:03.510 --> 00:06:07.260 When you give them the space and lay them all out. 00:06:08.340 --> 00:06:14.520 Often my realizations were, as I was sharing the experience of the healing 00:06:14.520 --> 00:06:19.590 breath, the words that came out of my mouth were never what I had planned 00:06:19.590 --> 00:06:21.450 to say when I was waiting for my turn. 00:06:22.450 --> 00:06:25.510 I leaned in to all the tough questions. 00:06:26.020 --> 00:06:29.680 And when it came time for the shares, I cracked open. 00:06:30.640 --> 00:06:37.180 I shared from places in my body that were decades old, hard dried scratchy 00:06:37.210 --> 00:06:42.370 cutting mean things that had shaped me, came out in shared stories, and 00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:47.980 in tears, I bore my soul to these people in a space out of time. 00:06:49.385 --> 00:06:53.945 Things I had hidden for years, tried to forget things I thought 00:06:53.945 --> 00:06:59.885 I had moved on from and worked through, things I thought I was over. 00:07:00.605 --> 00:07:02.735 It was infinitely frustrating. 00:07:03.935 --> 00:07:06.545 The meaning of it all unfolding before me. 00:07:06.545 --> 00:07:11.765 In real time, I was bearing witness to the truth that lay before 00:07:11.765 --> 00:07:15.295 me as the words piled on my lap 00:07:16.065 --> 00:07:20.865 I could see it only as I surrendered to the experience that 00:07:20.895 --> 00:07:26.385 deep layer of protection peeled back to let the truth flow out. 00:07:27.385 --> 00:07:35.125 Each time we met, I went down more layers, apprehensive and brave in equal measure. 00:07:36.445 --> 00:07:41.425 It was such intense work, but I knew I needed to be all in. 00:07:42.835 --> 00:07:48.595 To be honest, I was so tired all the time from being a mom to these amazing 00:07:48.595 --> 00:07:53.245 and intense little ones, that part of me just wanted to sneak in naps during 00:07:53.245 --> 00:07:54.865 the meditation and the breath work. 00:07:55.525 --> 00:08:02.215 But I didn't, I did every assignment, the weekends of class, I would be a complete 00:08:02.215 --> 00:08:05.965 puddle, a ball of tears and weeping. 00:08:06.525 --> 00:08:13.720 I'd lose my voice almost every time, maybe it even was every single time, but I was 00:08:13.720 --> 00:08:17.020 determined and I did tremendous work. 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:21.070 I went in deep and I ran towards the fire. 00:08:22.070 --> 00:08:25.280 I had healing visions that took me to the next step. 00:08:26.330 --> 00:08:30.230 I listened to the guidance and then learned from the work I had 00:08:30.230 --> 00:08:33.080 realizations and then more questions. 00:08:34.190 --> 00:08:39.155 I had shame for the wrong done to me, for not protecting myself, even 00:08:39.155 --> 00:08:44.165 though I was just a child I had blame for not having boundaries that would 00:08:44.165 --> 00:08:46.505 have sealed out fresh and fractions. 00:08:46.885 --> 00:08:51.305 I had regret for making decisions that I wish were different. 00:08:52.505 --> 00:08:59.325 I was so used to feeling like everything was my fault, even if it wasn't and I 00:08:59.325 --> 00:09:05.295 had to develop a deeper understanding of how we are all doing the best we can. 00:09:06.285 --> 00:09:12.945 At any given time, including myself, we don't do poorly on purpose. 00:09:13.395 --> 00:09:17.055 We just don't have the tools to do better, until we do. 00:09:18.495 --> 00:09:22.125 We also tend to believe what we believe, even if it's wrong. 00:09:23.125 --> 00:09:26.695 I realized that I had felt broken my whole life up until that point. 00:09:27.865 --> 00:09:29.665 I operated in that space. 00:09:30.265 --> 00:09:34.615 And during this year I saw for the first time, that little girl ,and 00:09:34.615 --> 00:09:36.265 I held her with love and safety. 00:09:37.250 --> 00:09:39.350 She was perfect and strong. 00:09:39.950 --> 00:09:46.730 I was perfect and strong how easy it had always been to give the understanding 00:09:46.730 --> 00:09:48.920 and grace to others when they needed it. 00:09:49.610 --> 00:09:52.520 But so impossible for me to give it to myself. 00:09:53.520 --> 00:09:58.680 I denied it to myself without even realizing it because it never occurred to 00:09:58.680 --> 00:10:03.930 me that I was the most important person to shower with this unconditional love. 00:10:05.040 --> 00:10:10.650 I had to learn, really learn that I was whole and perfect 00:10:10.680 --> 00:10:12.060 and doing the best I could. 00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:15.660 This realization today is so commonplace. 00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:20.490 Every millennial and younger has probably been raised on these notions, 00:10:20.490 --> 00:10:22.980 but that's the thing with healing. 00:10:23.490 --> 00:10:29.700 Like I said, when we do this healing for ourselves, it ripples up and down the 00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:36.250 family tree and we are all so intimately interconnected at the end of each 00:10:36.250 --> 00:10:41.290 weekend, I'd pull myself together and meet up with my whole family for dinner. 00:10:42.130 --> 00:10:44.950 It was always quite a shocking reentry. 00:10:45.970 --> 00:10:49.600 Maybe that was the hardest part of the weekend ,but it did 00:10:49.630 --> 00:10:52.000 teach me an interesting skill. 00:10:52.660 --> 00:10:56.710 I would need to get through the night, until I could reset 00:10:56.710 --> 00:10:58.270 myself with a good night's sleep. 00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:02.320 We can be doing the work while it's on the back burner. 00:11:03.040 --> 00:11:06.970 We don't need to turn our lives upside down or burn it to the 00:11:06.970 --> 00:11:08.830 ground to change profoundly. 00:11:09.940 --> 00:11:12.970 It's all a process and a practice. 00:11:14.410 --> 00:11:15.310 Always. 00:11:15.430 --> 00:11:17.230 It was one foot in front of the. 00:11:18.520 --> 00:11:21.460 I doubled down on salt, baths and meditation. 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:23.410 I went to more yoga. 00:11:24.010 --> 00:11:29.740 I took care of myself and I remembered that self care was important, but I 00:11:29.740 --> 00:11:34.570 never lost sight of the purpose, which was to heal myself enough to be able to 00:11:34.570 --> 00:11:37.870 be there fully, be there for my kids. 00:11:38.870 --> 00:11:43.880 I signed up for yet another year of training and I went deeper, I cleared 00:11:43.880 --> 00:11:46.430 more, brought more up, worked on that. 00:11:46.970 --> 00:11:48.770 It seemed never ending. 00:11:49.400 --> 00:11:53.660 I kept doing all the work, but there was always more in the inbox. 00:11:54.530 --> 00:11:59.300 And the thing is I didn't give up, but at some point healing couldn't 00:11:59.300 --> 00:12:01.190 stay my number one priority. 00:12:01.790 --> 00:12:04.040 I had to have time to do other things. 00:12:04.610 --> 00:12:08.360 And this is where that compartmentalizing trick came in handy. 00:12:09.800 --> 00:12:14.630 So at a certain point, I scooped up all the rest of the darkness and 00:12:14.630 --> 00:12:20.120 pain that had been bobbling around and I set it down and I walked away. 00:12:20.990 --> 00:12:29.390 Not in a denial way, but I just needed a break to garden and paint and play 00:12:29.390 --> 00:12:35.360 with the kids without the heaviness, with that lightness and the space. 00:12:35.690 --> 00:12:37.770 I was able to let new things in. 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.975 More healing and new skills. 00:12:41.905 --> 00:12:46.825 I learned to see what the pain of others look like, because I wasn't so tired 00:12:46.855 --> 00:12:48.745 from the burden of carrying my own. 00:12:50.035 --> 00:12:54.055 It was in these years that I learned to deal with the trauma I had been 00:12:54.055 --> 00:12:57.775 carrying around my whole life. 00:12:58.645 --> 00:13:03.235 It was liberating, illuminating, inspiring, and freeing. 00:13:03.925 --> 00:13:06.715 I learned to live without the weight of shame. 00:13:07.780 --> 00:13:13.330 And that is the only way to live when we're under the power of shame. 00:13:13.480 --> 00:13:17.830 We are stunted and so very tired. 00:13:18.830 --> 00:13:23.870 I felt like I was chasing the light, always under the warmth of the sun. 00:13:24.710 --> 00:13:29.930 But after a few years of living in these healing, rays, it began to feel like 00:13:29.930 --> 00:13:36.360 it was time to let the night catch up darkness isn't bad and light is good... 00:13:36.965 --> 00:13:39.035 They're just two sides of the coin. 00:13:40.035 --> 00:13:41.715 All of life is cyclical. 00:13:42.525 --> 00:13:45.435 It's all phases and ebb and flow. 00:13:46.245 --> 00:13:50.115 There's no bright full moon sky without the darkness of the new moon. 00:13:51.495 --> 00:13:55.845 I learned a lot in those years of healing about the way pain 00:13:55.845 --> 00:13:57.915 looks and feels in the body. 00:13:58.485 --> 00:14:03.165 The way it can make a heart heavy and thick and calloused. 00:14:03.945 --> 00:14:07.095 I learned how to see light and shadow in others with new eyes. 00:14:08.520 --> 00:14:12.210 I was able to learn, to see with the eyes of compassion. 00:14:13.560 --> 00:14:19.470 I've had the desire to move past old hurts because I realized when I held 00:14:19.470 --> 00:14:23.970 on to the anger and resentment, I was the only one that was suffering. 00:14:24.870 --> 00:14:27.150 I didn't want to carry that weight anymore. 00:14:28.380 --> 00:14:32.970 Sometimes I had to come at a situation from the other person's perspective. 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.800 I could no longer view the world as good and evil, black 00:14:37.800 --> 00:14:39.870 and white, right and wrong. 00:14:40.920 --> 00:14:47.280 During this time I tried to cultivate a heart of non-dualism it's something 00:14:47.310 --> 00:14:49.690 I still continually work on. 00:14:50.805 --> 00:14:55.905 When we see the interconnectedness of all things, it brings us to our knees. 00:14:56.505 --> 00:15:00.435 We can no longer grasp to the things the way we once did. 00:15:01.305 --> 00:15:04.005 Not when we're in what my teacher, Dr. 00:15:04.005 --> 00:15:08.865 Raven Lee calls our mystic double the learnings surrounding the 00:15:08.865 --> 00:15:13.125 Mystic Double and cultivating the ability to inhabit that space. 00:15:13.755 --> 00:15:17.175 I learned from her and I will always be grateful. 00:15:18.195 --> 00:15:23.340 My learnings fromthat are when we interact with the world from this place that 00:15:23.340 --> 00:15:30.390 is higher than ourself and purer than ourself, and yet is still ourselves we 00:15:30.390 --> 00:15:36.120 begin to see things from a new perspective when that's not as connected to the 00:15:36.120 --> 00:15:42.480 heaviness of certainty, we can still be certain without wearing it like a crown. 00:15:43.350 --> 00:15:48.120 When we operate from the Mystic Double we are in our default 00:15:48.465 --> 00:15:50.835 operating from our highest potential. 00:15:52.005 --> 00:15:55.065 And that isn't controlled by the ego. 00:15:56.385 --> 00:16:01.215 When I studied with Raven, it was illuminating, it was painful 00:16:01.875 --> 00:16:04.995 and it taught me how to stay on my knees and just listen. 00:16:06.015 --> 00:16:10.485 It taught me how to work with the Dark Goddess and honor her great power 00:16:10.485 --> 00:16:15.285 to cut through illusion, to see her fierceness with the heart of a child. 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:21.940 Who feels the protection of the mother, not with an adult's fear, but with 00:16:21.940 --> 00:16:27.670 certainty and comfort, from a place of feeling protected and cared for. 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:33.490 When we can cultivate and embody these things, it allows us to show up in our 00:16:33.490 --> 00:16:38.510 power with our purpose front and center, and it keeps us honed in on what's. 00:16:38.510 --> 00:16:43.010 Important for several years, I worked and learned from my teacher how to be 00:16:43.010 --> 00:16:49.610 a student of the world who stands with feet planted in humility and power. 00:16:50.390 --> 00:16:54.410 I re-wove my body with these lessons and learnings. 00:16:54.950 --> 00:17:01.550 And with these new eyes, I saw the truth, shedding the pain was not the goal and 00:17:01.550 --> 00:17:08.780 setting it down for reprieve was not a free pass, or a vacation from hurt, but 00:17:08.780 --> 00:17:14.330 rather it allowed me to take some deep breaths in between being slammed by waves. 00:17:15.530 --> 00:17:19.520 It was setting down the trauma on a warm rock to take a dip in 00:17:19.520 --> 00:17:24.520 a refreshing river to heal and cleanse and float along the current. 00:17:25.540 --> 00:17:30.875 To cool my body to the core and soothe my aching muscles to the point where 00:17:30.875 --> 00:17:35.675 I was energized and ready to pick it all back up and put it on like a cloak. 00:17:36.845 --> 00:17:41.255 The way I saw it, I had to shed the rest of the pain and darkness for 00:17:41.255 --> 00:17:44.435 awhile, to be able to embrace the light. 00:17:45.365 --> 00:17:48.575 I just couldn't access it with all the darkness in charge. 00:17:49.415 --> 00:17:53.870 And though I felt light and I was teetering into dangerous 00:17:53.870 --> 00:17:55.370 territory at some point. 00:17:55.850 --> 00:17:57.140 And I was out of balance. 00:17:58.220 --> 00:18:02.990 We cannot be in the space of willfully ignoring unprocessed 00:18:02.990 --> 00:18:04.520 parts of ourselves for long. 00:18:05.870 --> 00:18:10.940 I had to circle back around and gather up all those pieces of myself back up. 00:18:12.140 --> 00:18:15.710 I did that during those years of working with Raven, and 00:18:15.710 --> 00:18:17.630 doing multiple soul retrievals. 00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:22.290 There were fragments that I knew I had taken out of me and put down, 00:18:23.130 --> 00:18:27.150 and there were parts that were forcibly expelled as a young child. 00:18:27.150 --> 00:18:32.850 And as a young teenager, pieces of me that were too hot and too dangerous 00:18:32.850 --> 00:18:34.860 to hold with that delicate skin. 00:18:36.360 --> 00:18:41.310 But the work I had done of confronting the flames over and over again, 00:18:41.790 --> 00:18:43.950 toughened me up enough to do the work. 00:18:44.580 --> 00:18:46.570 It made me resilient enough to do it. 00:18:47.140 --> 00:18:52.300 It was not light or easy work to assimilate these pieces back into my life. 00:18:52.840 --> 00:18:53.830 But I was ready. 00:18:55.060 --> 00:18:58.120 This was low and slow learning. 00:18:58.900 --> 00:19:04.930 I had the space and guidance, the want and will ,I was able to hold it all, 00:19:05.380 --> 00:19:07.690 because I had done it all step by step. 00:19:08.440 --> 00:19:13.120 And this is the power of being ready of learning from those who have lived. 00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:16.030 Of being willing to go deep. 00:19:17.170 --> 00:19:20.410 It isn't meant to be pain-free or easy. 00:19:20.950 --> 00:19:22.570 It's meant to change your life. 00:19:23.050 --> 00:19:24.790 And it did change my life. 00:19:25.630 --> 00:19:28.570 This is work that cannot be undone. 00:19:29.080 --> 00:19:34.120 You're always better off for digging into the muck and sorting it all out 00:19:34.120 --> 00:19:36.820 with bravery, honesty and sincerity. 00:19:37.690 --> 00:19:39.340 You become a stronger vessel. 00:19:40.450 --> 00:19:43.780 And you can take more without breaking or yielding. 00:19:44.500 --> 00:19:50.170 You learn how to bend and sway while remaining firmly planted. 00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:54.640 I felt it was important to share a bit about my healing journey, 00:19:55.120 --> 00:19:58.210 because we don't always talk about what it's like to go through it. 00:19:59.170 --> 00:20:02.260 Each person's healing journey is nonlinear. 00:20:02.920 --> 00:20:09.580 Healing has huge periods of expansion and growth, followed by that dreaded 00:20:09.580 --> 00:20:16.870 contraction, which feels like backsliding, but it isn't, it's just part of the cycle. 00:20:17.740 --> 00:20:22.480 I don't hear many people discuss their journey because frankly 00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:27.640 it's hard to do, especially from a position that's open and honest. 00:20:28.270 --> 00:20:31.840 It can make us feel hyper vulnerable. 00:20:32.840 --> 00:20:37.400 And I know that there's so much power, and being in our authentic selves 00:20:37.970 --> 00:20:41.960 and from sharing from a place that doesn't hide the challenging parts. 00:20:42.960 --> 00:20:48.390 When we only see the successful afters, without seeing the before struggles, 00:20:48.960 --> 00:20:52.860 we set people up to feel like they're behind or they don't measure up, 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:55.620 but that's simply just isn't true. 00:20:56.250 --> 00:21:00.340 We don't always see the work that goes into the transformations and the 00:21:00.340 --> 00:21:05.400 growth, and we aren't always privy to the struggles and you don't need 00:21:05.400 --> 00:21:07.230 to compare yourself to anyone else. 00:21:08.280 --> 00:21:13.260 Not only is it easy to have blind spots about where we can let in more 00:21:13.260 --> 00:21:19.050 lightness and space into our lives, but we don't always acknowledge the way in 00:21:19.050 --> 00:21:21.240 which our actions affect one another. 00:21:22.320 --> 00:21:27.220 We are so interconnected as beings, that are part of a bigger whole. 00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.530 How every step forward for humankind nudges us forward as a collective, 00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:35.080 the reverse can be true as well. 00:21:35.920 --> 00:21:40.660 And it's our sacred responsibility to make the best choices for ourselves, one 00:21:40.660 --> 00:21:47.860 another and the planet, I believe being on a conscious journey and in community 00:21:48.190 --> 00:21:51.640 are some of the things that keep me connected to my purpose and my light. 00:21:52.220 --> 00:21:57.170 When we're inspired by those doing good work and we're connected to things 00:21:57.170 --> 00:22:00.500 outside of our own experience and needs. 00:22:00.860 --> 00:22:04.190 We can remember the larger work that we want to accomplish.
