“I believe one of our souls' major purposes is to know, love, and express our authentic selves. To live the life and be the person we were created to be. However, our true selves only emerge when it's safe to do so. Self-condemnation, shame, and guilt send your true nature into hiding. It's only in the safety of gentle curiosity, encouragement, and self-love that your soul can bloom as it was created to do.” KnowsBelievePersonsSoulSelfPurposeI BelieveSelf LoveSafeMajorsEncouragementShameSafetyGuiltCuriosityAuthenticityYour SoulLive LifeGentleHidingTrue SelfTrue NatureCondemnationAuthentic SelfShame And Guilt Author:Sue Thoele

“I do believe that one of the major ways that we're out of alignment with our souls is in our disconnect from nature. I feel that we have kind of lost our natural way of being connected to the planet. We need to be rooted on the planet. We experience ourselves as kind of isolated from that, and I actually think that's a great cause of the suffering that many of us are experiencing, whether consciously or unconsciously.” ThinkingWayNeedsFeelsBelieveKindSoulSufferingLostCausesNaturalPlanetsMajorsConnectedIsolatedRootedAlignment Author:Shakti Gawain
