EP243: I don’t know where I’m going, but I know how to get there
Animal trackers don’t know where the animal is, but they know how to get there. They get there by following the fresh track that presents itself. It’s immediate.

EP238: Welcoming What Arises Part 3: Q&A
In Part 3, I walk participants through leaning into what’s arising. I answer a lot of excellent, thoughtful questions about this process and everything that’s been shared so far.

Jackie feels like her mind is torturing her. She says it’s constantly telling her what a bad person she is and predicting a horrible future.
