Broken Open - a podcast by CSL Whiterock
from 2020-04-12T20:00
The goal of spiritual living isn’t to eradicate pain or to only look at the positive. It is to be consciously aware of what’s unfolding knowing that everything has the potential to reveal your spiritual magnificence. Healing is inevitable when we allow it.

Questions for reflection:
What do you have faith in?
Are you willing to accept it for yourself?
What are you willing to release?
What are you willing to embrace?
What are you willing to trust?
Quotes for social media:
“Faith is built up from belief, acceptance, and trust.” ~ Ernest Holmes
"My faith in my ability to improve gave me hope.” ~ Steve Colori
Fear is an acronym for face everything and rise
"While I am never safe from breaking, I am always protected by spirit." - Elizabeth Lesser
“When you feel yourself breaking down, may you break open instead. May every experience in life be a door that opens your heart, expands your understanding, and leads you to freedom. If you are weary, may you be aroused by passion and purpose. If you are blameful and bitter, may you be sweetened by hope and humor. If you are frightened, may you be emboldened by a big consciousness far wiser than you fear. If you are lonely, may you find love, may you find friendship. If you are lost, may you understand that we are all lost, and still we are guided – by Strange Angels and Sleeping Giants, by our better and kinder natures, by the vibrant voice within the beat. May you follow that voice, for This is the way – the hero’s journey, the life worth living, the reason we are here.” – Elizabeth Lesser in Broken Open p. 276
