The Power of Story
Beautiful Soul ,
We all have a story.
Or many....
These stories, the things that have happened during our life times, shape who we are, how we see the world, and even our experience of what happens next.
I remember being told at some point that what we all really need to do, for healing, is to move on from the stories. That we were keeping ourselves stuck by telling the same stories over and over again.
And to a point, I see where that is true. We can severely limit ourselves from moving forward if we rely only on what we know from before to inform how we live.
But our past stories are also powerful in how they impact who we are, the strengths we have, and the gifts we have developed through living through them.
Stories from the past go far beyond those that we have personally experienced too. There are primordial stories, myths and folktales that have been passed down through generations, that can give us important keys to unlock a deeper understanding of our experiences in life.
They can also give us a glimpse into the possibilities that are waiting for us as we continue to create the story of where we are going.
The other day I sat down with my dear friend, Cindi Buenzli Gertz of Conscious Living Arts and The Vibrant Woman Program to talk some about this.
Check out the interview below. It was a rich and powerful conversation! And I share some of a wonderful myth and how to view the story in a way that can help you to live more fully!
All my love,
