Welcome to Soulful Practices Podcast! Thich Nhat Hanh, an amazing spiritual teacher and modern day mystic, wrote in The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching: Transforming Suffering into Peace, Joy, and Liberation “Your purpose is to be yourself. You don't have to run anywhere to become someone else. You are wonderful just as you are.” In episode 46 we are diving into one of the core questions that a healing and awakening journey will ultimately connect you with - what is my purpose in this life. When we first start a healing or awakening journey our main purpose is to feel better, liberate ourselves from all the ways that we feel stuck, and if we are being honest to improve our physical life - more abundance and “happiness”. AND these are all amazing pursuits and a necessary first stage of healing and awakening to develop a real, tangible, knowing that we have more power then we think we do and that we can change our thoughts and change our reality. AND there is another stage of healing and awakening that starts to bubble up as we are on this path, a yearning to BE our real self, one that is not often reflected in our outer life, but an inner life. That is what I believe Thich Nhat Hanh is pointing to, our purpose is to be ourselves within and let that shift ripple out into every moment, every choice, every interaction guiding us courageous actions that match our mystical heart, not just our personal heart. Plus, I share a simple practice you can begin to make your own that explores “Being” Let’s dive in!
