Inner Journey:WHAT DEPLETES YOUR SOUL?
“Certain activities, attitudes, foods, and persons support the cultivation of an unconscious life. They draw us away from our center. They throw us off- balance. They deplete the soul.”
— Patricia Lynn Reilly
Some activities we think are restful are, in fact, draining. Set an intention to really become aware of how you feel after you’ve engaged in different activities. Solitude and awareness help us make better choices for ourselves.
“Enlightenment is not about imagining figures of light but of making the darkness conscious.”
— C.G. Jung
