Ah the synchronicity of it all. I’m right there, recognizing the loops. “ I am enough if I do this or that “ and for me, “ physical pain somehow contributes to my worthiness. I see the patterns. Half the rent pain 😉

Next is the reframing. Trusting in my inner guide and higher intelligence within for some direction. I don’t have all the answers in this moment, I trust myself. I’m open and brave.

Thank you for sharing, sincerely 🙏🏻🥰

Beautiful as always 🫶🏼 and perfectly timed, as I recognized a pattern just last weekend that I want to break out of

This hit hard. Interestingly enough, it didn’t end up being psychedelics that gave me the “ego death” that would shake up my own unconscious beliefs, but shaving my long hair from my head did. It was like a curtain fell down and there was no way I could hide behind it anymore. Thanks for sharing your story — we need more understanding about the therapeutic opportunities of psychedelics. Yes, the world is waking up, but not fast enough.

Sometimes I feel that unlearning is much harder than learning - we are programmed in childhood and it’s difficult to download new software! I’ve been through the process you described several times, uncovering the beliefs that were driving my thoughts and emotions. My therapist had a worksheet for helping with this. She taught me this order within our psyche: Beliefs -> Thoughts -> Emotions -> Actions. (The arrow can be interpreted as “lead to” or “precede”). This has stuck with me all these years. Our beliefs are the origin for our responses!

Totally, Korie... it all comes back to unlearning - because before the world changes our programming, we know a lot of these things inherently: our worth, how to be present, and so on. I've come across that framework in therapy as well, it's very helpful 😇

Thank you! Programming is so destructive and debilitating- but true freedom I believe comes from that inner work required to retire and reclaim - our true self!💞

I have been using to help uplift me when working and also use it to relax at night , will anticipate using it for somatic processing as well

Would love some longer soundtracks like 30 minutes

Music is a big part of my life and love having this

Maybe it will help me clean my house like it helped me focus and uplift me to finish my work last night !

Thanks for designing this and kudos to Sam for his work on the soundtracks

Love that! You're not the first one to request longer ones, we're working on it 😇

We're also exploring more music for activities like cleaning, driving, running/walking, and so on -- where music can function as an anchor for presence so it turns into a meditative experience. More to come!
