This episode has the ladies discussing the beliefs we impose upon ourselves to act, do and live like the “experts”. These limiting beliefs can hold us hostage to believing there is a right way and wrong way only scenario. These beliefs can also bring on guilt and shame. Angela discusses her continued struggle with her belief of sugar consumption interfering with her spiritual work. She discusses how she is making changes that are allowing her moments of freedom from her guilt thinking. Heather shares how her own demands on her behavior have added more stress and guilt in the past. Stephanie has had resistance to following other people’s routines and beliefs, she desires to do her spiritual work her own way. It’s wonderful to learn from others and it is great to try new techniques, but when we believe that other people know better than we do and that we MUST do as they do-therein exists our limitations. The ladies discuss the use of alcohol consumption while doing spiritual work or practicing Reiki. Again, it is what you are comfortable with that matters. Besides the self-limiting emotions experienced through imitating others, the ladies discuss their humorous stories of beliefs and behaviors they have since been released and changed.
This is a wonderful reminder to read the books, listen to the podcasts and learn from others with experience-but always remember only YOU know what is best for your own lifestyle. Experiment and find your own techniques, question your beliefs and create a lifestyle that brings you joy and peace. You are your own expert for you!
