Tapping inner wisdom: How metaphor instantly transforms our perspective

Mythologist Michael Meade beautifully describes sacred occurrences as moments when the “seal that separates the worlds” is broken, and Spirit enters through the opening.

Unlocking your heart’s wisdom: The transformative power of metaphor
