Do the teachings around ego confuse you?  Joining me on the podcast is Julia Wesley, an Akashic record reader and soul blueprint healer who focuses on helping others heal the relationship with themselves.  In this episode, we focus on the ego, its purpose, and the value of befriending rather than trying to defeat our egos.

Key takeaways:

• In a lot of spiritual teaching, the ego is perceived as “bad” and something that needs to be destroyed, but in reality, our egos serve a purpose and can act as a guide map for us in our lives. (1:47)

• Most people try to ignore and/or push away their pain, and as a result, wind up identifying with it.  Instead, we can shift to understand that pain is feedback.  The goal is to sit with it and listen to what it is communicating with us. (4:00)

• We don’t transcend the ego by defeating it or letting it go.  We transcend by integrating our egos with our higher consciousness because our humanness is part of the journey. (6:45)

• The Akashic records are an energetic recording of all the different experiences our soul is having. One of the greatest benefits of accessing your Akashic Records is how it attunes you to your own soul's frequency. You can remember your true agenda as a soul and see solutions to current issues in your life in a higher and more evolved way. (13:17)

• We typically associate ego with heaviness and feeling uncomfortable, but it doesn’t have to be that way.  You can use your ego to help you identify the things you love, and this playfulness can help us transform our relationship with our egos, so we want to engage and nurture the ego. (33:00)

• When you are able to tune into what your soul really wants for you and you are able to surrender to that, amazing and magical things will begin to unfold. The biggest thing usually getting in the way is yourself. (19:38)

• Every experience in life is an opportunity if we are willing to be present, aware, and not judge. (25:24)
