Inner Work 244: When being good becomes a problem

Are you a GOODIST? Identified by mindbody pioneer Dr. John Sarno, goodism is a personality trait where highly conscientious people put pressure on themselves to be "good" at all times (and to be perceived as "good" and selfless by everyone). Some other characteristics of goodism include: putting others' needs and desires above your own, most or all of the time getting your sense of self-value from being "needed" by others finding it intolerable when someone else criticizes you, gets mad, or disa...

Inner Work 241: Getting Beyond the Doubt and Fear of Your Ego Mind

As humans, we all have an ego self. This is the persona or identity we've developed (unconsciously, as part of our human development) to be able to cope, survive in the world, and maintain a certain appearance in front of others. The job of your ego mind is to protect you, keep you safe, avoid change, and maintain the status quo - even if the status quo is not serving you. (Ego will always CLING to the familiar and old patterns.) To try to keep you safe, your ego mind will use sneaky tactics - i...

Inner Work 239: 5 Keys to Effectively Access the Akashic Records

The specific words, prayer, ritual, or method you use to access the Akashic Records are NOT as important as the frequency, energy, and state of being you're holding when you access them. Your frequency matters above ALL else, and it includes: the level of openness, curiosity, and beginner's mind you're bringing to your readings how grounded & anchored you are in your physical body when accessing the Records (i.e., not using the Records for spiritual bypassing or to "escape" reality) the leve...

Inner Work 238: Formulating Great Questions for the Akashic Records

One of the key ingredients that can "make or break" an Akashic Record reading is HOW you're formulating questions for the Records. There are some questions that can unlock potent healing, insights, and shifts when you're in the Records... ... and other questions that don't work as well, because: they aren't appropriate for the Records (such as "should/shouldn't" questions) they're too general/broad they stay only at a surface level of insight they lead you to a dead-end This is why the kinds of ...

Inner Work 235: In between your old self and new self

In the process of personal transformation and healing, you'll often find yourself existing somewhere between your “old self” and your “new self.” The “old self” is the identity that has served you up until now, which you have likely outgrown and are now seeking to shed. This “old self” is made up of the collection of attachments, self-perceptions, habits, behaviors, choices, and coping mechanisms (or “life strategies”) you’ve been carrying with you from the past. Your “new self” is your emerging...

Inner Work 229: 5 Key Reminders for Healers and Lightworkers

Staying on the path of awakening and evolution is a CHOICE - often a choice we must make daily. There's a lot of noise, chaos, and collective fear in our modern world, which challenges us to stay on the path and continue making choices from a place of love, alignment, clarity, and Higher Wisdom - not from reactivity, judgment, fear, hatred, or division.

Inner Work 225: Shifting from self-attack to self-empathy

Self-attack is something many of us have often done to ourselves. We live in a world that programs and conditions us to attack ourselves in many different ways; to live in a perpetual mode of self-judgment, self-betrayal, self-criticism... diminishing who we are and our inherent value. Living in this kind of state is draining, exhausting, and it keeps you separate from your Higher, Divine Self.
