The cause of suffering is not life\u2014it is our belief that life must be what we want in order for us to be okay. We can learn to let go of this constant sense of lacking by releasing the stored blockages from our past. When this purification takes place, we become open, peaceful, and capable of living with unconditional joy regardless of circumstances.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Sounds True Inc.
