Living Inside Out

Posted by on May 22, 2016

Getting really excited about this concept of living inside out. There is so much power and truth in it, that we’re always and forever okay at our core and it’s really just our thoughts that lead us away from this realisation.

The question is, how do we get rid of our peas? Shutting down our hearts It can be easy to set conditions for our happiness, and decide that if these are not met we need to shut down our hearts with regards to a particular person or situation. Unfortunately the suffering caused by this action is mostly...
