When we refer to our essential self- what does that mean? For me it shows up as “rightness” or “truth” that I feel that is reflected in my core as an expanded, full and easy breath. An “ah-hah” moment. A “knowing", when acknowledged, supports an inner aliveness and clarity of mind. A feeling of “me” separate from “other”- a differentiation which also makes me feel more connected to my whole self and the whole enchilada.
