The human ego is one of the major obstacles – if not THE major obstacle – that can create static, noise, and interference in spiritual practice and, more specifically, in being able to powerfully and easily connect to the Akashic Records.

I've created this 10-part podcast series to help you identify and overcome different forms of ego interference in your own practice, including:

• self-doubt
• attachment to outcomes
• attachment to timelines
• avoidance / spiritual bypassing
• fear of disappointment
• perfectionism
• fear of letting go of control
• ... and more

By the end of this series, you'll be equipped to recognize and work through these pesky ego patterns when they show up, so they won't derail you anymore.

When you tap into the superconscious realms, you gain access to higher thought forms, higher vibrations, flashes of intuition, wisdom, healing, and Divine inspiration.

In this two-part series of Inner Work, we'll explore what the superconscious really is and how we can benefit by growing our capacity to tap into this higher field of consciousness.

Tune in for a discussion on:

• what is the superconscious?
• what are the different ways of accessing the superconscious realms?
• what keeps us from being able to tap into the superconscious?
• how does it benefit us to tap into the superconscious?
• how is the superconscious realm similar to the Akashic field?
• 13 characteristics of genuinely connecting to the superconscious field (based on the writings of psychospiritual teacher Roberto Assagioli)
• potential pitfalls and challenges of accessing deeper levels of superconsciousness (and how to navigate them safely and responsibly)

Throughout this episode, I refer to the book Transpersonal Development: The Dimension Beyond Psychosynthesis (collected writings of Roberto Assagioli).

Hello, dear listener! Welcome back to the 30-day authenticity challenge.

On this podcast, I often talk about the importance of being authentic. Of being yourself in every situation, with every person.

So, during the course of these 30 days, we'll do the inner (and outer) work of becoming more authentic and expressing our true selves - without feeling like we need to hide who we are.

Episodes will go out daily until we complete the challenge.

Your task for today, DAY 3, is to mine the past and explore the situations, experiences, or time period in your life that led you to develop the belief "it is too scary, risky, or dangerous to be my authentic self." How old is the part of you that still carries this belief, and what did that part experience?

This episode of AWAKENING is an exploration of physical death, which we will all experience as humans at one point or another. What happens to the body when we die, and what happens to the Soul or consciousness? How can we understand this process of death from a spiritual perspective? We will also explore what it means when someone we love dies, and how we might cope with such an experience.

Throughout the episode, I mention this book: The Tibetan Book of the Dead for Beginners, published by Sounds True in June 2023 - https://www.soundstrue.com/products/the-tibetan-book-of-the-dead-for-beginners

Have you ever felt or identified as an outsider, outcast, black sheep, alien, or non-comformist? Do you have any wounds related to being rejected, excluded, left out, or feeling unwelcome or like you just don't belong? This episode is for you.

We'll dive deeply into the outsider archetype:

• how can we define this archetype?
• what does it mean to be an outsider?
• outsider examples from literature and pop culture
• my personal anecdote of feeling like (and being) an outsider
• the potential wounds you might be carrying (such as the wound of rejection or the wound of exclusion)
• fully activating the gifts and powers that come with being an outsider

This episode of AWAKENING takes you through an exploration of your core values. What are the values that really matter to you, that make life most meaningful for you, and that you want to uphold in everything you do and how you live your life?

We'll talk about how to uncover your core values and how to identify when you're straying away from those values - based on how you feel emotionally, physically, and spiritually.

I also read some thoughtful words from one of my students, Richard, who generously agreed to share his core values with us. I hope you will draw inspiration from these words and create your own creative statement of values.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I talk about the experience of falling out of alignment with something you've manifested - whether it's a relationship, a job, a house, a place to live, or something else.

It can be disheartening to no longer be fulfilled by something you wanted to manifest for a long time, or for it not to feel as you expected it to. How can you course correct and pivot into another, different manifestation if this happens? Let's explore that together.

I'll give you a set of prompts to reflect on which part of you desired this manifestation in the first place, and what your Higher Self might be calling you towards now.

I also share a new technique to connect to your Akashic Records - in case you want to use the Records to explore the prompts.

Have you been unconsciously giving your power away to family? Do you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no, hiding who you really are in front of family, forcing yourself to interact with relatives, or even feeling responsible for a family member who should be taking care of themselves?

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore the ways in which you might be giving your power away to family - and how to start taking that power back. I walk you through:

• some common disempowering patterns and behaviors related to family, so you can begin identifying these in your own life
• a 5-step process to start taking your power back from family by setting healthier boundaries
• examples of specific boundaries you might need to set (and how to word them)

This episode is a continuation of previous ep. 147: Navigating the Complexities of Family in the Human Dimension - https://josephinehardman.com/inner-work-147-navigating-the-complexities-of-family-in-the-human-dimension/

This episode is a response to a listener email asking: "am I still healing and growing spiritually even during periods of stasis, where nothing much seems to be happening?"

We'll explore what stasis could mean in the context of spiritual healing and growth, and how you can make the most of any periods of relative calm or quiet in your life.

Some of the main takeaways from this episode include:

• why it's impossible to go back to sleep once you have awakened - even though we often try to
• although stasis can mean stagnation, it can also mean equilibrium - so a period of stasis could be a period of arriving into greater balance within yourself
• why things are still shifting even when you can't perceive the changes yet
• letting go of the attachment to growing through pain or suffering

Taking honest inventory of where you are today, how much are you loving yourself? How much self-love and self-nourishment do you give yourself?

In this episode, I answer a listener email about how to cultivate a deeper capacity for self-love. We'll cover how self-love - and a lack of self-love - looks like in our inner dialogue, in relationships and friendships, and even in interactions with strangers.

I suggest a couple of books to grow your self-love and self-acceptance:

Embracing Your Inner Critic

The Self-Acceptance Project

In the episode, I also mention the possibility that you might be carrying an ancestral pattern or contract of not loving yourself. To work through that and release it, you can use my guided healing journey to clear ancestral patterns and burdens - scroll to find this resource below:

In this new podcast series, I interview Akashic Records Practitioners to explore how working with the Akashic Records has transformed their lives.

We discuss topics such as:

• what it means to "hear the call of the Records" (and answer that call)
• the vast healing, personal evolution, and growth that happens when we activate the energy of the Akashic Records in our lives
• how the Akashic Records can help us fully awaken our intuitive, multidimensional, and healing gifts - both for ourselves and to serve others
• how tapping into the Akashic field can help us release outdated, long-standing patterns, beliefs, and attachments that aren't serving us
• the Akashic Records as a potent tool for psychospiritual development and to align fully with your highest purpose as a healer or lightworker

In this inaugural episode, I speak with Penny Murray, a multi-faceted intuitive healer and guide. Penny completed my Akashic Records Certification Program in 2023 and works as a Certified Akashic Records Practitioner and Certified International Biofield Tuner.

Penny is the creator of the Ancestral Resolution Series, where the multi-layered worlds of the Ancestors, the Record Keepers, and the Biofield come together for deep, spacious healing.

Her clients come back to Penny time and time again because of her deep capacity to create a safe, empowering, sovereign space, from which they are encouraged to release what doesn’t serve them, realign with what does, and rejuvenate their whole Self. Working with Penny has been described as a one-of-a-kind, compassionate, life-enhancing experience.

In this special episode, I introduce you to the Akashic Records - what they are, how they work, and how we can use them to heal ourselves and transcend ego patterns.

I was first introduced to the Akashic Records as a teenager by my mom (a therapist and healer), and have been working with them on a daily basis for most of my adult life. I became certified as an Akashic Records Practitioner and started giving readings to others in 2012, and have since developed a unique curriculum for my own Akashic Records Certification Program.

In my time using the Records - both for my personal healing and to assist others with their evolution - I've been delighted, awed, deeply moved, transformed, and continually fascinated by their power, benevolence, and wisdom.

In this episode, I invite you to learn more about the Akashic field and how tapping into this field we call "the Records" can help you awaken and become who you REALLY are.

As a companion resource for this episode, I've created a guided healing journey into the Akashic Records. I'll guide you into a meditative, receptive state and we will open your Records together. You'll have a chance to ask a specific question (or focus on an issue you want to shift) and receive healing on all levels - mental, spiritual, emotional, physical.

My guest for this episode is MaryCatherine McDonald, a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology and philosophy of trauma. She has been researching, lecturing, and publishing on the neuroscience, psychology, and lived experience of trauma since completing her PhD in 2016. 

While engaging with trauma academically, MaryCatherine experienced the loss of her parents - a significant event that required her to apply her knowledge and insights regarding trauma to herself.

In this interview, we talk about the important ways in which MaryCatherine believes we must re-define trauma and our approach for healing it. I (Josephine) share a bit of my immigration trauma story, and MaryCatherine helps me better understand my own healing process.

MaryCatherine's new book, Unbroken: The Trauma Response is Never Wrong has just been published by Sounds True.

Working with a healer or teacher on your path of awakening can be an empowering, helpful, very supportive experience. Healers and teachers can help us grow beyond our limits and address blindspots or work through things we might not be able to heal on our own.

At the same time, it's important to be discerning when you seek out a new healer, teacher, or spiritual modality. Just because someone or something is labeled "spiritual" doesn't mean it is necessarily aligned with you, or free of ego.

In this episode, I share some ideas about potential issues or red flags you might look for when seeking out a new healer, teacher, or healing modality. Please follow your intuition and gut feelings, and never allow anyone to pressure you into working with them!

You have likely manifested many things while you were asleep - both wonderful, joyful things and sometimes things that were not so pleasant, or that you didn't actually want.

This episode focuses on how to manifest your desires - for particular experiences, relationships, money, health, aligned work - once you're spiritually awake.

I answer a listener's email on this topic, and cover these discussion points:

• how you can get tripped up once you believe in your own power of manifestation
• how your ego self might derail your manifestations through over-thinking, analysis paralysis, or self-doubt
• what to do if you're questioning/over-analyzing whether your desires are coming from your ego or Soul

This episode is going out, with love, to all my fellow recovering people-pleasers. This is also an important episode if you have any tendencies of seeking approval from others, or feeling like you have to ask others for permission to be your authentic self.

Join me for an in-depth discussion of:

• what people-pleasing actually is
• how we might use people-pleasing as a "shield of niceness" to protect or defend ourselves
• the core fears that drive people-pleasing
• the consequences of people-pleasing on your whole being (emotions, body, mind, Soul)

Are you carrying a mindset of scarcity, lack, or unworthiness when it comes to money? Fear of not having enough or losing what you do have? If yes, it's possible these patterns, emotions, and beliefs regarding money were passed down to you through your family line.

Join me for another episode of INNER WORK where we explore the influence and repercussions of ancestral contracts, patterns, and burdens in our lives. Focusing on inherited beliefs and emotions around money and abundance, I share a case study in ancestral contracts from my own family.

Although you are primarily an Infinite Being of Light, you're also incarnated into a physical, human body. On the 3D human plane, money is a necessary currency - to keep yourself alive, to feed yourself, to shelter yourself, to make things happen in the world.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer a listener email about how to shift into a mindset of abundance, create a healthy relationship with money, and forgive ourselves for any past financial mistakes or missteps.

I also address why it's best not to demonize money or see it as evil. Ultimately, it's not money that corrupts us. What can corrupt us is an unchecked ego, which seeks to accumulate more and more and constantly fears lack or tries to assert its power over others.

I use this as a jumping-off point to address many different experiences of betrayal - within families, in friendships, in romantic partnerships - and how we can begin to heal the aftereffects of betrayal.

Please be kind and compassionate with yourself as you listen to this episode, and allow yourself to gently feel anything that comes up for you. Please know that healing is always possible.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I explore why it's important to identify any behaviors, habits, relationships, or choices that could be suppressing your life force. This is your vital energy, which animates your physical body. For you to feel healthy, balanced, and spiritually connected, your life force must be flowing freely throughout your body and energy system.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what is your life force, and where does this concept come from?
• what are the negative consequences of suppressing or blocking your life force?
• which behaviors, habits, and patterns can potentially suppress your life force and drain your energy?
• questions to ask yourself to determine if you're supporting your life force or blocking it

The world is kind of nutty right now.

We're often seeing chaos, conflict, and confusion out in the world and sometimes even in our own homes, workplaces, and schools.

Therefore, diligence, practice, persistence, and dedication are required to maintain your frequency, vibration, and thought patterns at a high level of Truth and clear knowing... a deep EMBODIED knowing that abundance is indeed all around you and within you at all times. Nothing can separate you from that abundance or take it away from you. You're far more powerful than you sometimes remember or give yourself credit for.

In this episode of INNER WORK, I walk you through 8 daily spiritual reminders that will help you stay aligned with Higher Truth and maintain a high-level frequency in your body, mind, and energy field. Regardless of what's going on around you.

The 8 daily reminders will support you in:

• honoring and living up to your commitment to walk the spiritual path
• living in integrity with your Soul and with the Universe
• flowing with universal forces and with whatever is arising in your life (instead of trying to resist it)
• remaining anchored in the truth that you are a Divine being having a human experience.

My intention is for these 8 daily reminders to serve as spiritual scaffolding for you, every day, as often as you need them.

They will help you remember the Truth of who and what you are, and what you're capable of in this lifetime.

When you listen with your heart instead of your head or human ears, what do you hear? What do you perceive and know?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about the frequency, resonance, and deep knowing of your heart. Your heart holds a powerful seed of silence, healing, wisdom, and connection to all that is - to every other Soul in this Universe. So how do you tune out of the human world of noise, confusion, and (often) chaos to return to the healing silence of your heart? Join me for a discussion of this, as I invite you to become a more heart-centered being.

This topic was inspired by a beautiful, meaningful, mystical poem by healer and artist Kathryn Wyatt. Thank you Kathryn for allowing me to share your poem. To explore Kathryn's work, please visit https://blueonyxarts.com

How can you navigate the complexities of having a family in the human dimension? In this episode of INNER WORK, I respond to a listener email on this topic. Join me for a discussion of:

• the complexities of family dynamics in our human dimension
• dispelling myths and delusions about family from the 3D reality, such as the myths that blood is thicker than water and that you owe your family or parents your life
• how to deal with feelings of guilt, burden, or obligation towards your family
• what it can feel like to be a Starseed or interplanetary soul in a family of (mostly) Earth-based souls
• giving yourself permission to create a family or tribe outside your family of origin

Thank you to Jodie for writing in with this thought-provoking question, and for allowing me to share her words on the air.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we explore the effects of dysfunctional ancestral patterns, contracts, and burdens you might be carrying.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what are ancestral contracts, vows, and unconscious agreements?
• how do these contracts and burdens get passed down through the family line?
• the importance of identifying unconscious agreements you might have with ancestors or family members - including agreements to suppress your truth, to play small, to keep the peace at all costs, to abandon yourself, to rescue everyone, to feel unworthy of abundance, or to carry your ancestors' suffering for them
• exploring a sequence of powerful questions to identify potential ancestral contracts and patterns in your life

I've created a special resource to go along with this episode: a 40-minute guided healing journey to clear any and all ancestral contracts, patterns, burdens, and unconscious agreements from your energy field and physical body. We'll sweep through each of your energy centers, or chakras, to revoke and clear any contracts or burdens stuck there. To purchase this audio, go here:

Are you receiving love openly? Are you connecting to the stream of love all around you and within you?

This episode of INNER WORK is all about the energy of love, as well as your capacity to feel, connect to, receive, and embody that energy. We'll begin with a quick exercise to check in on your ability to give and receive self-love (we must always start here). I then talk about:

• what might hinder your capacity to give and receive love
• why sometimes we close our hearts off for self-protection
• what happens when you carry the painful belief that you're broken, flawed, or unlovable - at your core
• intimate relationships and what they teach us about ourselves
• overcoming the delusion that a romantic partner can complete or fix you

Throughout the episode, I mention the book A Return to Love by Marianne Williamson.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I explore what it means to experience a crisis of purpose as you awaken. Join me for a discussion of:

• what is a crisis of purpose? how do you know if you're going through one?
• how waking up spiritually can make us realize we're not in alignment with our true purpose
• how your tolerance for mis-alignment and lack of fulfillment goes down the more you awaken
• my own crisis of purpose that led me to quit academia to start doing spiritual work
• practices to begin connecting with your true, Soul-level purpose

Throughout the episode, I mention my upcoming course - Journey to the Center of Yourself: Discover Your True Purpose. To explore the course details, click below:

In this episode of INNER WORK, I explore whether it's possible to remain on the spiritual path - and continue evolving - while using substances such as alcohol and drugs.

Join me for a discussion on:

• can alcohol use be compatible with the spiritual path?
• the importance of identifying our intentions and motivations for using substances
• how to notice if a particular substance or behavior is hindering your growth
• being mindful of how we're bonding with others, especially if some of our relationships are built mostly on substance use

Towards the end of this episode, I asked my husband and lifelong spiritual seeker Garrett to chime in with his first-hand experience of psychedelics and "tripping" (since I have none!).

I extend my deepest gratitude to Kris for writing in and sparking this episode! Your openness and vulnerability in sharing have served all of us.

Being vulnerable requires a great deal of courage, presence, and transparency with ourselves and others. What happens when you're vulnerable with someone, and they can't receive, honor, or reciprocate your vulnerability? 

This episode of AWAKENING explores both the benefits and potential consequences of being vulnerable with people in your life. I share a few personal anecdotes of being vulnerable in 2022 and how my friends and family members have responded.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what it really means to be vulnerable with yourself and others
• why some people have a more limited capacity and tolerance for vulnerability
• how to accept where others are while being true to yourself and your need for deep connection
• how to deal with a vulnerability hangover
• how to decide whether, with whom, and how much to share when big things happen in your life

Thank you for tuning in and supporting the podcast! Your presence here means the world to me.

Please be kind to yourself and others - we're all doing the best we can with what we have and where we are right now.

Recently, a listener of this podcast asked me an important question: how do we bring our insights and healing down to Earth, to share them with others? How do we embody our spiritual insights?

In this episode of AWAKENING, I answer this question and talk about:

• how to avoid using spirituality or spiritual tools (like the Akashic Records) as forms of escapism
• how to periodically review your spiritual insights and lessons, to see whether you're actually applying them in your life
• a personal story of how I've been applying a recent spiritual insight in my own life
• questions to help you come into greater integrity with yourself and your spiritual principles

This episode of INNER WORK features an interview with Michael Bernard Beckwith, a member of Oprah’s SuperSoul 100 group, founder of the Agape Spiritual Center, and #1 bestselling author. Michael is a maverick in the realm of spirituality and a non-denominational spiritual visionary who has addressed the United Nations and appeared on shows like The Oprah Winfrey Show and Larry King.

Join us for a poignant discussion on:

• what does it mean to be spiritual, but not religious? 
• how we've all been conditioned and programmed to give our power away and believe we are unworthy - and how to take our power and our minds back from this programming
• how we can help ourselves (and the world) shift from a paradigm of fear, scarcity, conflict, and not-good-enoughness to a new emerging paradigm of love, clarity, abundance, and freedom
• how you can discover YOUR unique role in the awakening of humanity
• how to protect yourself from negative programming through the media (a.k.a. the "reporters of the old world") and maintain a high-level frequency regardless of what's going on around you

My guest for this episode is Jessica Flanigan Brown, clinical nutritionist and author of The Loving Diet. Jessica has been practicing clinical nutrition for 25 years, specializing in gut restoration and disordered eating, especially in mid-life. She's getting certified as a compassion teacher at Stanford University School of Medicine’s CCARE Applied Compassion Training program. Jessica helps others get in touch with the healing power of their heart through a practical approach.

In this interview, we talk about the marital separation that broke Jessica open and how she turned to compassion as an essential practice to begin healing.

Among other topics, we also talk about why so many of us carry a core belief of being broken, flawed, or unlovable - and how we can begin to shift that.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore the ways in which you might be handing over your power and decision-making to others.

We'll run through some common examples of how (and why) we might do this in daily life, how it feels in the body when you give your power away, and some specific steps to start taking your power back - on every level.

In the episode, I mention a resource for developing interoception, or body awareness. For that, go here:

On the path of awakening, you might be called to begin living in a different or new way. This can happen when you're truly listening to your heart and tuning in to your inner guidance.

In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener's email about how to begin aligning with the lifestyle and way of living that most resonates with you (and how to release limiting beliefs and fears along the way). 

Join me for a discussion of:

• having the desire to live a peaceful, simpler life where you get to express yourself creatively or live in community with others 
• the importance of clarifying WHERE your desires are coming from, and WHY you're desiring these things
• giving yourself permission to live a life that is right for you
• clearing out internal blocks, fears, and limiting beliefs so you can create your desired lifestyle 
• an introduction to Byron Katie's The Work - you can explore this for yourself here: https://thework.com

This episode of INNER WORK is a spiritual exploration of hunger, desire, and how we relate to food. This discussion will be especially helpful if you have (or have ever had) a disordered relationship to food and eating. We'll examine what your relationship to food might have to do with your deeper hungers and desires, particularly if you're not fully allowing yourself to feel or express those desires. We'll also explore how the way you relate to food can often point to deeper places in yourself that are not being fulfilled or tended to.

In this episode, I quote from two books: Eating in the Light of the Moon by Anita Johnston, and Women Food and God by Geneen Roth.

IMPORTANT NOTE: this podcast contains a discussion of disordered eating. If this is triggering to you, please skip it. This podcast is not a substitute for medical or psychological advice, and I am not a doctor or eating disorder counselor.

What do you do if you outgrow your job, career, profession, or business? What happens if you discover that your work, or certain ways of working, are no longer aligned with you?

Join me for a discussion on this common experience of outgrowing your work or business as you continue awakening. In this episode, I talk about:

• the health challenges that have moved me to recognize the ways in which I've outgrown my spiritual business and past ways of working
• the importance of allowing your old identity to die to make space for the new to emerge
• being curious and truthful with yourself as you explore new possibilities for work, career, or business
• recognizing any unhelpful roles or identities you've taken on at work (like being the Helper, the Fixer, the Overachiever, etc), and releasing them

I also share a quick sneak preview about my upcoming course on discovering and living your true life purpose.

Does letting go of something mean that you no longer care about it? Or that you shouldn't have any feelings about it? Or that you should never think about it again? A listener recently wrote in with these questions - and more - about what it really means to let go.

In this episode, I answer this listener's email by exploring the spiritual concepts of "letting go", attachment and detachment, and surrendering to the flow of life.

Do you have a hard time trusting the good in your life? Or trusting that life CAN be good? Or trusting that good things can last? This is the episode for you.

As you begin creating a more aligned, joyful life on your path of awakening, you might get tripped up if a part of you feels unworthy of goodness. Unworthy of expansion and freedom. Or if a part of you is skeptical about good things lasting, and is still expecting for the other shoe to drop.

In this episode of AWAKENING, we'll explore what could be behind that skepticism or difficulty trusting the good. I've included some affirmations to support you in trusting yourself and in your ability to create and sustain good things in your life.

Emotional reactivity is about having a knee-jerk, habitual reaction to something in the present moment that reminds you (consciously or unconsciously) of something unpleasant you experienced in the past.

Reducing emotional reactivity is an important goal on the spiritual path, since being highly reactive can keep you stuck in repetitive and unhelpful loops of behavior, thought, action, and feeling.

Join me for a discussion of:

• what IS emotional reactivity, at its essential nature?
• the 3 levels of emotional reactivity (and which one gets triggered first)
• how emotional reactivity drains your energy and causes you to waste valuable time
• the difference between reacting and responding 
• how to reduce your reactivity gradually and bring yourself back to the present moment (with real-time practices)

In this episode of AWAKENING, I respond to a listener email that asked this question: What happens when a decision on your spiritual journey hurts someone else?

We'll dive into the topic of making tough choices on your spiritual path, when you know those choices will likely upset, hurt, or disappoint someone else. Join me for a discussion on:

• why it's so critical for you to live your truth and follow your Soul's calling, and how it hurts you and everyone else when you don't do this
• how to be more ok with disappointing others as you continue awakening
• how you can live authentically without abandoning yourself while still being a compassionate human
• the importance of detachment in close relationships (especially family relationships)

Are you allowing the past to define you? Are you still living an identity that was created long ago, and that no longer reflects who you really are... or who you are meant to be in this lifetime?

This episode of AWAKENING is all about coming to terms with and releasing the past, so you can create a new identity from an empowered, conscious, awakened place within yourself. 

I talk about how we unconsciously develop constricting, unhelpful, limited identities based on past experiences, and share a personal story to illustrate this. We'll then move into some powerful exercises to release limiting belief systems, behaviors, and energetic cords keeping you tethered to this old identity.
