" We grow and expand getting to know all of the aspects of ourself, then we make the choice. We can design our own template and adopt the aspects that serve us fully, deepening our connection to the presence within. When we feel the emotions from our wounded child and be with them until the feelings of self-doubt, fear, disappointment or anger dissolve...we open to a space that is very loving and peaceful. No one can make this decision for us. No one can fix us or change us. We are the creators of our existence."
