My Experience on the Path – by Angela Shearon
Hello. My name is Angela. I was introduced into Pathwork in the fall of 2019 and have been working the path since then, close to five years now. My long-term pain: In my youth until now, I have always had a sense of a darkness, a block in the center of my being that I …

For a number of years I have kept a photograph of my stepdaughter near my desk. In the photo she is probably about 4-years-old. She is seated on her tricycle, looking out at the camera with a grin and a look of total abandon and joy. I know it is summer, because she is totally …
