Four Steps to Transformation

Feeling our way into feeling
Feelings… we avoid them unless we like them and even then, we’re very good at suppressing what’s really there. But if we want to truly connect with ourselves, each other and whatever else is conscious in the web of life… we have to let our feelings flow unrestricted. We have to learn to understand what’s ours and what isn’t and be able to set our default feelings so that we shape them instead of them shaping us.
