Living Authentically

I always thought I was on the right spiritual path - you know what I mean, the ambiance was right. I had the incense, the music, the salt lamp but something was missing. And then in 2006 I read an article by Kathryn Hegarty "The Blessing of Becoming Real" and the "ah-ha" bell furiously rang. I was not living authentically and in the article Kathryn listed the steps to achieve this :-

• practice deep breathing
• practice silence
• personal development
• meditation
• get back to nature
• be kind and gentle
• stop criticising
• meet people's eye and smile
• care for your self deeply
• gently and lovingly speak the truth
• see a counsellor if necessary
• keep a gratitude diary
• practice forgiveness.

I did write to Kathryn and told her how much her article changed my life - thank you Kathryn.
