It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most.
Marianne Willamson
So how do we forget what we’ve been taught…so we can deeply remember what we inherently know?
First, we explore our personal belief systems, collective, past life and soul conditioning.
Next, we ask ourselves if our perspective supports a fully embodied and empowered life.
If the answer is no, we must shine a light on the unconscious realms of the psyche, find where these beliefs are held in the body and explore ways to release them.
In our quest for freedom, we learn to forget, so we can enter deep states of remembering.
When the divinity of the body is forgotten, our connection to the earth is severed.
