Elementary stress comes from outdated and external expectations of who we are supposed to be. Parental expectations turn into beliefs and behavior patterns that we maintain, but are not who we really are. This creates a gap between who we think we are and who we really are inside. This gap, in turn, produces stress, because we are not operating from our true center. Connect deeply with yourself and clear your elementary stress with this set, so you can embody more vitality and happiness.
