11 - The Ascension Journey: Navigating the Dark Night of the Soul and Embracing Higher Consciousness

In this episode of the Knowing Podcast,

Christene Marie dives into a meaningful conversation with James Valentine, ascension coach, bestselling author, and international speaker, about the path to inner peace and self-forgiveness. 

 

James passionately discusses the importance of non-reaction to thoughts, emotions, or external events, viewing reality as a projection of our thoughts. By choosing non-reactivity, individuals can break free from negativity.

 

He highlights the significance of self-forgiveness in healing past wounds and fostering personal growth. By forgiving ourselves, we detach from limiting beliefs and embrace change.

 

He also shares his views on deconstructing the ego to reconnect with one’s true self. By examining and challenging these narratives, individuals can rediscover their authentic selves.
