      <title>The World Is Turning</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #7a6e63;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;On pachakuti, the rising of what was buried, and what this moment is asking of you.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Something is moving in the world right now. Not just on the surface — though the surface is noisy enough — but underneath it, in the place where I do most of my work. The field itself is shifting. And if you have been feeling a particular kind of weight lately, or a particular kind of restlessness, or the strange sense that your ordinary life no longer quite fits the moment you’re living in — I want you to know: what you are feeling is real.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=" graf graf--p" style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;What I am tracking, in session after session and in my own practice, is this: people who have long been in relationship with the unseen are finding that relationship intensifying. People who have never thought much about any of this are suddenly asking questions they don’t have language for yet. And people who built their lives around systems that are no longer working — systems of certainty, of accumulation, of looking away — are finding that those systems are cracking open whether they chose that or not.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=" graf graf--p" style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;This is a turning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=" graf graf--p graf--startsWithDoubleQuote" style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;“When the land has had enough, she moves it through the people who still know how to listen to her.”&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=" graf graf--p" style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;In Ireland, right now, as I write this, farmers and workers are taking to the roads. They are blocking the arteries of the modern machine with their tractors and their bodies and sleeping on the land while they do it. The news is calling it an economic protest. And yes, it is that. But those of us who work with energy — with the living field beneath...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/the-world-is-turning&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>You Already Speak The Language</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: var(--s-pre-colorNaN); color: #000000;"&gt;You see the number again. The same one that's been showing up for weeks. And so you do what most of us have learned to do - you go looking for what it means. You find an explanation that sounds reasonable, maybe even resonates a little, and you carry it with you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: var(--s-pre-colorNaN); color: #000000;"&gt;Or you stand somewhere that's been described as sacred, waiting to feel what you've been told you'll feel. And what arrives is something quieter. Or simply different.  Or something you do not have words for.  And you're not quite sure what to do with that.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: var(--s-pre-colorNaN); color: #000000;"&gt;Or a dream stays with you through the day and you search for its symbols, trying to understand it like it was written in someone else's language.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: var(--s-pre-colorNaN); color: #000000;"&gt;There, of course, is no wrong or right with any of this. It's what we were taught.  That meaning lives outside us.  That someone else holds the interpretion. That there's a system, and if you learn the system, you'll understand.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=" nl-pull" style="font-size: 17px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: var(--s-pre-colorNaN); color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;But what if the system is the very thing that keeps you from hearing what is already there?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: var(--s-pre-colorNaN); color: #000000;"&gt;What I've seen, again and again, is that the knowing is already present. It is there before the google search. It is there in the moment you stand in a place and feel something entirely your own. It is there in the dream, before you try to translate it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: var(--s-pre-colorNaN); color: #000000;"&gt;The work isn't learning someone else's interpretation. It's learning to trust...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/you-already-speak-the-language&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Imagine sitting in a quiet sacred circle.</title>

      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Imagine sitting in a quiet sacred circle.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The air is calm. The land around you is still. In your hands you hold a warm cup of cacao, the earthy sweetness rising softly with the steam.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Across from you sits Mama Jaguar.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Her presence is steady and watchful, the way a great cat rests in complete knowing of her place in the forest.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;For a while nothing is said. You simply sit there, feeling the warmth of the cacao in your hands.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Then she speaks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;"Do not be thirsty."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The words land gently in the space between you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;It is an unusual thing to hear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Most of us spend much of our lives reaching for something. Love. Security. Recognition. Health. Money. Even the opening of our spiritual gifts.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Jaguar watches quietly and then adds,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;"You are the gift. Everything else is the expression."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The words move through you slowly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;So often we believe the gifts are the abilities. Intuition. Clairvoyance. Healing. The ways we sense what others may not see.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Yet what if those are not the gift at...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/imagine-sitting-in-a-quiet-sacred-circle&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Building From Wounds</title>
      <pubDate>Sat, 07 Mar 2026 09:51:37 -0800</pubDate>
      <link>https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/building-from-wounds</link>
      <guid>https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/building-from-wounds</guid>
      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #2c2c2c;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;This came through me in a voice memo, a stream of awareness I needed to follow. I share it because I suspect it isn't only mine.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #5a5a5a;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The wound that wore a work ethic&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #2c2c2c;"&gt;I've been looking at my business — the striving, the building, the constant reaching — and I'm starting to see what it was really made of.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #2c2c2c;"&gt;It wasn't ambition. Or at least, it wasn't only ambition. Underneath the drive was a wound that didn't know how to rest. A sense of not-enough so old and so internalized that I'd built an entire structure of effort around it — not to succeed, but to fill something.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #2c2c2c;"&gt;Here's the thing though: there was always enough. I raised two kids. The bills got paid. The love was there. But when you're operating from inside a wound that believes love has to be earned through a certain path — a certain level of output, a certain kind of success — you can't see the fullness that's already present. You're not looking at reality. You're looking at the story.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 12pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #2c2c2c;"&gt;And I agreed to that story. Somewhere along the way, I signed on to a narrative about struggle and work and not-quite-enough — and then I lived my life through that lens, including my business, including my sense of what I had to offer, including what I believed people would want from me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: center; font-size: 16pt;"&gt;&lt;span style="display: inline-block"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 24px;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #3a3a3a;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“The reaching was never evidence of lack.It was the wound trying to love itself back to wholeness.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size:...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/building-from-wounds&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Trust Yourself. But How?</title>

      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;“Trust yourself.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;It’s one of the most common pieces of advice given in spiritual spaces, therapy rooms, business coaching, and late night conversations with friends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;And yet for many people, it feels vague. Almost frustrating.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Trust what exactly?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;My thoughts?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;My emotions?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;My impulses?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The voice in my head that changes daily?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;If self trust feels elusive, it is not because you are broken. It is usually because no one ever showed you how to build it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Self trust is not a personality trait.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;It is a relationship.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;And like any relationship, it grows through lived experience.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Here are the pieces that actually help.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;1. Daily grounding practice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Trust does not grow in a scattered nervous system.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;If your body feels unsafe, rushed, overstimulated, or disconnected, your inner signals will feel chaotic. You will question everything.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Grounding is not about becoming calm all the time. It is about becoming present in your body.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Simple...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/trust-yourself-but-how&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Life Has Been Trying To Tell You Something</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;I want to share something with you - something that was quietly placed in my heart and has stayed there ever since.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;I was sitting in a grandfather ceremony, a Wachuma ceremony, and in that sacred space the grandfather offered me something simple. He said that the only true enemy is yourself. And the way he said it - there was no harshness in it. It was like being handed something precious. Like he was saying l&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;ook here, this is where your freedom lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;I’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;ve turned that over so many times since then. And what I’ve come to feel - not just understand, but feel - is that life is always, always trying to show us something. Not to punish us. Not because we’ve done something wrong. But because life is on our side in ways we sometimes can’t see when we’re in the middle of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Have you ever felt like the same thing keeps finding you? The same ache, a different face. The same feeling, a different situation. I have. And for a long time I didn’t understand that those patterns were actually life being incredibly patient and loving with me - offering me the same gentle question over and over. Are&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt; you ready to see this yet? Are you ready to come home to yourself?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Beca&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;use that’s really what’s underneath all of it. A coming home.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;So much of what we carry wasn’t even ours to begin with. Beliefs absorbed so young we mistook them for truth. That love has to be earned. That our worth lives somewhere outside of us - in what we achieve, what we own, who chooses us.

      <title>Thresholds:  What Changes When You’re Not Alone</title>

      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;There is a particular kind of loneliness that comes with thresholds.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;When something ends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;When something begins.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;When you cannot return to what was - and you cannot yet see what is ahead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;I have sat in many of those spaces in my life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The end of a marriage.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The unraveling of identities.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Moments when what I believed about myself no longer fit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;For a long time, I thought navigating those passages meant figuring them out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Understanding the psychology.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Tracing the wound.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Finding clarity.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Making sense of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;I believed if I could just see it clearly enough, I could move through it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;But something shifted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Not because I found a better method.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Not because I learned a more powerful technique.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;What changed was this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;I stopped carrying it as if it were mine alone.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;The first time I truly placed something heavy into the hands of the earth, I felt the difference.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="font-size:...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/thresholds-what-changes-when-you-re-not-alone&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Before the Outcome:</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Have you ever noticed how we try to change what we see?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;We adjust habits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;We reorganize our schedules.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;We speak differently.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;We try to “stay positive.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;And for a while, it feels like things are shifting… until we find ourselves in a familiar pattern again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;It can feel frustrating, like life isn’t listening.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;But what if the outcome we’re looking at was never the place change begins?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;What if the outcome is simply the after-product of something deeper?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 20px;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;he Outcome Is the Echo, Not the Voice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;An outcome is not a starting point.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;I&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;t’s evidence.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;It shows us what has already been forming beneath awareness.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Trying to manipulate an outcome without understanding its source is like arguing with an echo. You can shout at it, try to silence it, or wish it would sound different - but the sound has already left the original voice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;To change the echo, you go back to where the sound began.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Life works the same way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size:...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/before-the-outcome&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>When Nothing Is Happening:   The Spiritual Truth about "Everything Is As It Is."</title>

      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;There is a teaching that sounds simple, almost passive:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Everything is as it is.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Most of us understand this mentally. We nod. We get the concept.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;But when life feels slow, unclear, or unmoving, that teaching becomes much harder to live.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Because “everything is as it is” does not feel peaceful when:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;there are no clear answers&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;nothing seems to be shifting&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;you don’t know what to do next&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;the evidence you hoped for hasn’t arrived&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;In those moments, the mind says:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Something is wrong.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;But what if nothing is wrong?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;What if what feels like stagnation is actually a different kind of movement?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;he Universe Doesn’t Work on Reward and Punishment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;We’re often taught, directly or indirectly, that the universe rewards good behavior and withholds from us when we are doing something wrong.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/when-nothing-is-happening-the-spiritual-truth-about-everything-is-as-it-is&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Why Go Inward?  What's the Point?</title>
      <pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 12:00:14 -0800</pubDate>

      <description>&lt;p style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Most people aren’t avoiding going inward on purpose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;They’re trying to live their lives.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;There are responsibilities, relationships, decisions, emotions, constant information coming in from the world. When something feels uncomfortable, the natural instinct is to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;fix it, solve it, distract from it, or make it go away.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class=" Apple-converted-space" style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Not sit with it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Not turn toward it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Not listen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;So “going inward” can sound like an extra task - something abstract, time-consuming, or reserved for spiritual people. And when life already feels full, who has space for that?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;So it’s a fair question.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Why go inward? What’s the point?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;W&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hat Happens When We Don’t&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;When we don’t pause to notice what’s happening inside us, we live from momentum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p style="text-align: start; font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;We make decisions from:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;old fears&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-size: 100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;old habits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="font-size:...&lt;a href=https://www.susanhharris.com/blog/why-go-inward-what-s-the-point&gt;Read More&lt;/a&gt;</description>
