So today I get to answer a question that someone has emailed me and goes like this.

Julie is asking this question.

How do I deal with strong feelings of guilt?

I'm aware that I should forgive myself,

but I've done things that I knew at the time weren't right and did them anyway.

I try to learn from each experience and have gratitude,

but sometimes I feel like a terrible person, and it bugs me that I've done things that I know

I shouldn't do. Please guide me through this. Well, Julie, this is, it's a beautiful question,

and I have to begin with a commendation that you are aware

that you've done some things in your life that you're not proud of.

You're not blocking it, you're not hiding it from yourself, you're not denying it.

You're saying, you know, there's some things I did, I'm not very proud of.

So that's a step towards healing

So that you can denial is a way that people don't heal. I didn't say that. I didn't do that

But to say yes, I did that or I said that is one of the first steps of healing now Now, be aware in every authentic spiritual path,
