Passion and the Path

On Demand

Desire and passion often get a bad rap in spiritual circles, and many of us have our own judgments based on the messages we’ve received around what’s okay to want and what’s not. But ultimately, desire isn’t what we think it is. Enjoy this special mini-teaching from Diamond Approach teacher, Tejo Jourdan, as he invites us to explore the truth of our desires and see how they can be a powerful doorway to realizing everything we want is already inside us.
