Apologies for the sound issues! This episode is an interview with Heather Schwartz, a former psychologist, now focused on intuitive coaching, who is sharing with us today about recognizing the masks we wear in life, and guiding us through a process to take them off, and regain the energy and power of our true selves in the process.
Here are the steps for the process Heather shared today:

1. Think of a time when you feel most like yourself. Where are you? Who are you with? Notice the aliveness – where is it in your body?
2. Now, think of a time when you feel uncomfortable, when you know you’re TRYING really hard – that’s a signal that you’re not being fully yourself & you might have a mask. Maybe you always behave this way in this situation. (Masks are tight & can prevent forward movement).
3. Feel how this situation feels in your body.
4. Notice what your face is doing right now as you bring it to mind. What expression are you making.
5. And, imagine that this feeling & expression is a mask you can pull off.
6. What does it look like? Let your imagination & intuition show you.
7. How heavy is it?
8. Notice how long you’ve had it. Ask your intuition for a sense of it.
9. Thank yourself for being willing to see what you may not have fully acknowledged to yourself before.
10. Drop into your heart and send compassion to this mask that has provided a service.
11. Let the meanings of why it’s been there just come to you.
12. Thank it and yourself for being willing to see it.
13. And, as you do this, notice how your face feels without it.
14. Are you willing to be without it for another 5 minutes? You can always put it back on.
15. The mask holds parts of you. It’s not just fake. It holds your energy. So, as you continue to thank it, if it feels right, call back ALL of your essence from it. You can melt the mask or blow it up or imagine it dissolving.
16. Now, what does it feel like to have more of you back again?
