Interview with Anita Moorjani

That beach ball is like being pushed under water all the time and always fighting to come out.

My point is that your emotions are really your messenger, they tell you who that beautiful soul is. Every time that you push it down, you’re sending yourself a message that you are not worthy to show yourself and that you are not worthy to express who you are. Every time you suppress yourself, you say ‘no’ when you mean ‘yes’, and so on. You are actually making yourself small and give yourself a message: “I am not worthy, I am not good enough, that’s why I have to hide, I have to push myself down”. ?You should allow your essence, your emotions to express themselves. Your emotions want to be joyful.

That’s what they want. And when you allow your emotions to find what is joyful and follow what is joyful, that’s when you are in touch with your soul. That’s what your soul is.

DIRK TERPSTRA: In your book ‘Dying to be Me’ you explain the ‘I am Love’. What does love look, feel and sound like to you?

 Anita Moorjani: That’s a very good question. I think that we overuse the word love in our society and it becomes very cliche. We say that “we love our car”, “I love my computer”, you know, we really overuse the word love. But love actually is really who we are in essence.

Try to imagine that you are no longer with your physical body. Your body is gone.
