The Taproot Soul – a powerful meditation for inner strength, clarity and realness

Are you sitting comfortably?

A while back, I made a video about the three colours of friendship, which was really about the importance of authenticity and how we can only know who – out of all our friends, other contacts and even family members – is someone we actually want in our lives if we are our authentic selves when around them.

In other words, only if we refuse to stretch, mask or contort ourselves in order to fit the shape we think they want us to be in.

Because if we do that, the simple fact of the matter is that they haven't met us yet. So how could we possibly know if that spark is there?

You can catch the original video here if you want:    • The three colours of friendship  

The importance of being real around others is something I feel strongly about. But it's not necessarily as easy in practice as it might sound, because it's hard to know our authentic selves, and even harder to ensure that we stay tapped into that sense of genuineness when under the constant pressure of societal standards, the expectations of those around us, and from the powerful unconscious sway of our emotions, too.

I wanted to make this video to explore the question of authenticity in a little more detail. I really hope you enjoy it.
