For centuries, we've been trained to THINK and DO, when we were designed to BE, like any other species. (Bears don't have an ego about "being a bear" - they're just bears. We're learning this, slowly.) The "healing journey" is one of self-compassion, where you balance out your "thinking" with "being." It's a journey we're all making, both individually, and as a collective. This is a great thing: we're just still catching up. In this episode, we'll discuss: - The gongshow of human history (and how recent this "history" is) - The OG historical event that separated us from ourselves (and each other) 5000 years ago - How blaming your parents is the same thing as being obsessed with world disasters / tragedies - HOW TO BE HUMAN: 3 things you can do RIGHT NOW to ease your mind and embrace your being. #HigherConsciousness #HealingJourney #SpiritualAwakening *** Please rate / review + follow / subscribe to this podcast to support my mission: to help seekers trust the Universe.
