It is not the voice of our real self. It is a fear based voice that tries to keep us small and quiet.” -Kathleen Hanagan “The best motivator for change is self-love.” -Kathleen Hanagan “We don’t have to have resolve every problem in our life to have self love.” -Andrea Catherine “If you don’t follow through with an intention, don’t judge or self criticize, examine why? What took precedence? Let it be. That is self love.” -Kathleen Hanagan “If you say you love yourself but don’t take care of yourself then it is easier to justify doing other things. It is self deception.” -Andrea Catherine “We are wired to feel things. It is not natural to stop the process of feeling.” -Kathleen Hanagan “Reflect and hold space for yourself and others without taking on negativity. I hear you, I see what you are saying. I reflect back but I don’t take it on. That, is an art.” -Kathleen Hanagan “You can’t heal until you feel. By bringing consciousness (without judgement) to pain, pain transforms. Grief transforms to compassion and love, anger transforms to power, and fear transforms to enthusiasm.” -Kathleen Hanagan   Meet Kathleen: Kathleen Hanagan is spiritual teacher, modern mystic, psychotherapist, and author, whose work integrates the essential wisdom of the great spiritual traditions with scientific knowledge, 30 years working intimately with individuals, couples, and groups, and her own quest for liberation.
