Turning Toward What Hurts: The Path of the Warrior

This episode begins with a discussion on the value of an honest analysis of how we’re living our lives and whether our choices and actions are aligned with the direction we’d like to be heading in. I acknowledge how, oftentimes, we don’t make the necessary changes to our lifestyles unless our backs are against a wall, much to the detriment of our well-being.

I then share a fascinating fact about the metamorphosis of a caterpillar into a butterfly and how it is similar to our own awakening process. Our ego’s resistance to change is not a failure or detriment but is exactly the boundary we need to strengthen our determination and persistence in transforming limitation to freedom. 

I relate this compulsion toward revealing and expressing our authentic selves to teachings that I learned in yoga teacher training, and I invite us to consider how we can choose to transmute even our most painful or challenging life experiences into a service to others.

We conclude the episode with a body scan practice to help us connect with the present moment and our direct physical experience from within the body.
