"Be your own guru!" Best advice ever!

I really love Teal Swan because she is so authentic and she makes me feel good in being me. Thank you for showing your imperfections and being genuine. You are a beautiful and amazing teacher.

I've felt guilty about expressing my spiritual persona to the world while also being open about my corporate lifestyle, while ALSO being open about being stoner goofball when I wasn't at work or doing a reading. I thought my biggest challenge was to find my true "brand". Everyone I've talked to recently has told me to "pick one" of the aspects of myself to focus on. But maybe I am ahead of the game. This video makes me happy I have been honest about who I truly am

'Selective identification' this is rife! Not just spiritual leaders, but just about everyone in authority...!
Brilliant broken bone metaphor. Brilliant vid.

[lbwhills]

I have sat with so many gurus, over decades - and your description of them is dead on.

[ancaivcovici]

One of the most important teachings I've heard from you Teal. Some time ago I realized that selective identification simply doesn't work for me. Of course I didn't name it that way but that was the process. Intuitively I decided to embrace all parts of me as they arised. I'm in a much better and peaceful place now. And also less judgemental of others or various situations that come up.

Teal needs to do a video on selective hearing. So many of her viewers suffer from it.

[AmandaFlaker]

This is ON POINT. And helped me understand something that I've been seeing but not quite understanding. Absolutely brilliant! THANK YOU.

[Cetrasenshi]

No message or subject matter is as important as this. Thank you Teal for sharing this in such an accessible way. There is no higher calling or better use of your talents than to share this integral information. I am so grateful for your manifestation on this Earth, for those of us wanting more than the push and pull of desire and thirst. Thank you.

[darkmoonmandala]

this made me cry, you always blow my mind, teal. thank you, many, many blessings to you.

[jolienwillowtree]

I saw your video about the things you don't like today on FB. And 1 of them was that you hate people who think they are spiritually awakened.
I and my insecure self were afraid that I was such a person. So immediately watched this video and it brightens up a lot for people I know. The part in me that I have not yet accepted is the angry jolene. But I'm working on it. That part also deserves to be seen.
but I do feel quite awake

[peterhaywood]

Great video, as usual. And I need to listen to it 100 more times, as usual.

[Fuliginosus]

Teal is so smart it's scary. This video needs more views.

[MrsAnamariaIoan]

she is such a true beauty, her mind is amazing. this woman is so true and courageous

[AK-omew]

You’re brave, thank you for speaking the wisdom you do. Gratitude

[serenthiafae]

I love this, Teal. These words resonate with me much more than 'cutting a limb off.' It feels like i'm abandoning myself if i try to embody what i feel a 'spiritual, ' person should look like. Being whole and accepting my whole, even though sometimes difficult, feels so much better. I appreciate your existence so much.🙏🏼 Love to you!✨

[danielramos]

This is not new. Carl Jung discussed this at great length in dealing with Shadow work. Great video.

[dazzykin]

This one qualifies as one of the Teal classics. Great video! Thanks <3

[pambennett]

As a person with a horrific case of DID, after 20 years of struggle and even using Teals techniques I have begun to doubt whether full integration is possible. I have no choice but to keep applying her principles since she is the best out there but dang this is hell on earth twice over

[optimistalchemist]

This video has a major impact - especially on me, & will definitely spread word of this woman. Thank you Teal Swan :D
