Ask Dali Mama

DEAR DALI MAMA:

What do it mean to be in alignment with one’s spirit?

—Curious (United States)

DEAR CURIOUS:

Generally speaking, living in alignment with your spirit involves doing what’s right for you on a spirit level—not what’s right for others or even what’s right for who you think you are, but what’s right for who you are as a soul. Sometimes it doesn’t always fit our pictures of who we think we ought to be or even who we think we are. But when we are not in alignment with our spirit, sometimes you may sense a discomfort or something just not quite feeling right.
