You Can't Heal Yourself Out of a Desire!

Teal Swan
About this episode

 Is it wrong to desire?  Can you heal yourself out of a desire through meditation, personal work or Shadow Work?  We often have desires within ourselves that we feel are wrong to have or that will cause us pain.  Perhaps the question is not whether the desire is good or bad but WHY we have it.  Following this line of thinking, Teal Swan explains how you can find your true desire and begin to meet this need directly instead of through unconscious manipulation.
