Description

In our search for fulfillment, we often turn our gaze outward, seeking joy and contentment in external sources like people, places, things, education, behaviors, substances, or experiences. However, this misguided path inevitably leads us to darkness and disconnection. It is in this pursuit that we lose touch with our authentic selves, whether due to past trauma or unmet needs.


This loss of self is not limited to addiction, eating disorders, or co-dependent behavior. The ancient texts from yoga and Vedanta recognize it as the root cause of all suffering, extending its reach to social ills like racism, sexism, and gender-based discrimination. But we need not resign ourselves to a life of suffering or inflict it upon others.
Instead, we possess the power to reclaim our true selves and break free from these chains. The process of self-reclamation calls for a return to the parts of ourselves that we have long banished or concealed. It is through this intentional journey that we rediscover the love, acceptance, and belonging that are inherently ours.
