Embracing Little Deaths
from RESONANCE Hosted by Michael Trainer
Takeaways We often shun the notion of death in our culture. Creating rituals can help us appreciate little deaths. Without little deaths, new growth cannot occur. Letting go of mediocre aspects of life is essential. Self-worth influences our ability to attract and hold what we desire. Inner work is crucial for personal transformation. Transforming pain into compost allows for new growth. Fire can be a powerful ally in the release process. Ceremonial practices can aid in letting go. Rebirth is possible when we create space for new beginnings. Sound Bites "Fire is an incredible ally in releasing." "We get to do that, my friends."
