#17: How To Discover Your TRUE SELF

Learn how to discover your true self through a 'Breaking The Mask Initiation'. Sina went through this empowering initiation which was led by Gerard Adams which sparked some insightful revelations. This enabled him to connect with his inner child and rewire his limiting beliefs to show up authentically as his true self. He explains what the true self is, how social norms and conditioning impact our potential, and why it's important to break the masks that we wear. 

The breaking the mask initiation is derived from a Japanese provide which states that we have 3 masks. The first one is what we show to the world. The second one is what we show to our close friends and family. And the third one is what we don't show to anyone. This is what we keep to ourselves.

The goal of the initiation is to break those masks and just show up as your true self. And if we showed up as our true self and really owned our story, we can accomplish anything we desire in our unique way.

Topics:

• What is your true-self
• Breaking the mask initiation 
• Golden Buddha story
• Understanding the inner child
• University life
• Rumi poem
