Episode 84
Many of us struggle between demanding standards of virtue and holiness from ourselves/others and being compassionate as we know we are called to be.
In this episode I invite you to observe the energy underlying your zeal or your desire to be compassionate. Are these tied to a fear of falling short somehow? Do you feel pushed or are you drawn from a place of loving freedom?
I also explain how integration will help you navigate this particular tension with greater ease and grace.
This episode is part of a series taken from my 30 Day Instagram Live Challenge where I went on live video to speak about different aspects of the interior journey every day for 30 days straight.
