You cannot be congruent and aligned with your inner self all the time. However, after these exercises you should have a good picture of what inner alignment feels like. This means that it should also be easier to recognize when you’re out of alignment with yourself and how to become re-aligned.

As well, you will know that you need to get back in touch with yourself. Let’s look at a technique for re-establishing inner congruency.
