With my birthday, a new moon and Summer Solstice all coming up and within a few days of each other, I'm feeling the pull of time on my mind, especially as the video from Truth Telling for Truth Seekers keynote is online now. When I told the story on stage of the moment I knew I had to leave my 'perfect life', I cleared a lot of energetic, psychological and emotional trauma, shame, and suffering that I was still holding onto. Suffering is an intellectual reaction to pain. It is disempowering and draining, while keeping us trapped in mental cycles.

We can go into the past to mark the places where we've left parts of ourselves, called Descansos by author Clarissa Pinkola Estes, and we can lay those parts of ourselves to rest, bless them and move on. This practice opens us to different responses and results in the present.
