When we doubt ourselves and our abilities, we create internal chaos. We stanch the flow of our creative selves. This can lead to procrastination, lack of motivation, anxiety, and eventual depression as we lose sight of our divine nature. The way out of self-doubt is by stepping into it and learning what it has to teach us.

Racing thoughts can frustrate the meditation experience. The Diamond Breath meditation activates both mind and body, allowing them to work in tandem. Diamond Breath can be used alone (when the mind is over-active) or as a warm-up to a regular meditation session.

Self-work means nothing unless we share the fruits of our inner work with community. What happens when the people we have loved in the past no longer connect with us because of our growth? How can we find our tribe?
