Creating Inner Peace: Exploring self-forgiveness and self-acceptance<\/p>\n

with Vera Hey<\/p>\n

“The path is not to seek love but merely to seek and find all the barriers within ourselves that we have built against it.”\u00a0 – Rumi<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many of us built an inner prison of beliefs about our “deficient” self. One of the biggest threats to our happiness and well-being is when we turn on ourselves with blame, based on a chronic sense of not being enough or not being good enough. Our inner critic can be so harsh and unforgiving!<\/p>\n

It takes a conscious commitment and effort to accept ourselves and cultivate self-forgiveness!<\/p>\n
