One of the most potent forms of alignment is learning to hear, and listen to, our inner voice, which we find not in our head but in our gut and heart. This is not metaphorical but literal—the voice of intuition and wisdom is often heard coming from those places in the body. It’s a voice arising from the deep, with qualities of doubtless calm knowing.
This is our intuition and our wisdom speaking.

I saw a great black hole on my chest.
I saw my father placing it on me as a child.
He said fill this and then I will love you,
So, I kept filling it, but it was bottomless.
I moved to strip it from me and realized,
there was no hole, and there never was.

It’s quite ironic: We avoid facing what will eventually lead us to good health. The only way to get through it is to go in it.

A mindset of radical acceptance and unconditional love is essential for making the changes you are seeking in your life. … As cheesy as it sounds, love is the way.

We have been lied to about ourselves… We internalize these lies, believing them to be true… The deeper truths about ourselves, our purpose, our gifts, our worth, and our place in the world must be discovered, brought forward, spoken, nurtured, embodied, witnessed, and shared.
