Everything we long for in life is pointed in one direction: get me back to perfect. The perfect in our old brain is the memory of the womb. In short we long for life to be: warm, where our needs are meet (all of them), soothed by the noises around us and peaceful. Yes in our adult lives a few other adjectives creep into our deepest desires among them creativity, passionate and connect are high on a lot of folks lists.
So why go back to the beginning? It is within the core of our begin our two year old self that can express what we want. Not convinced next time your grocery shopping pay attention even if only for a few minutes a 2 year old. Chance are you will hear things like: "I want that!" "I see Dora over there." "I see a triangle!" "What is that? Why don't we get it?" "NO." "I don't want to sit down, buckle up, be here, etc."
Reconnecting with this seemingly uncontrollable voice is our best navigator. All of us know what we need, but like layers of an onion our core is deep inside painful stingy layers.
