Born in Chicago and raised a devout Catholic, Caroline Myss says she was just 8 years old when she discovered her gift, her intuition. I first met Caroline in 1998. By then, she had become well-known for doing readings to help people heal.
I just feel like I'm falling apart. I mean, literally falling apart. I think your childhood wasn't long enough. You had to be the mother to your mother.
Caroline said she could also gauge people's health without a physical examination. She'd refer to herself as a medical intuitive.
I feel like cold feet, cold hands, imbalance. I can't get any sense of balance in your body at all.
The response from our viewers was overwhelming. And Caroline came back to the show three more times.
I can't believe it's been nearly 15 years since we last spoke. So, I invited Caroline to Harpo Studios to get together and talk and hear her unique perspective on some of life's big questions that will help us all feed our soul. Okay, so how do you know...
That's a big, big question.
Okay, how do you know you're on the right path? You were saying that it's not as hard as we may think.
No, it's not. It's not at all.
Okay, before you answer that — does everybody — before you answer that, does everybody have a path that is the best path for them?
Totally. Everyone has a path. No one falls from a tree without... yeah, just right?
So, there's nobody here on Earth whose life doesn't have a purpose or a path.
Correct. Correct. Absolutely, no one. If you have life, you have purpose.
That's a good tweet. If you have life, you have purpose. Tweet, tweet. That's a good one. If you have life, you have purpose. And that is true of every one of the 7 billion of us.
It can't be otherwise. And this is why I absolutely love studying the work of the mystics. Because this is what's so extraordinary. The tiniest, tiniest truth is the same at the big level. If you have life, one drop of one atom is as purposeful as our planet.
What is in one is in the whole. It can't be otherwise. It cannot.
Now, I knew that and I say that, but I just got that in a different way.
Makes me want to weep. It does.
Yeah. The magnitude of that makes me want to weep.
Yeah. Isn't that something? You cannot take this one atom out and say it is separate from the whole. You cannot. I cannot take you out and say you are separate from the whole. If there is one, there it is.
I know that. I know that. Now, you just reminded me.
Really? It goes to your soul.
And someone says, 'Well, how do I find my life purpose?' I first say to you, you've never lost your life purpose. Okay, now we're going to get over that in a minute. Number two, I have to say to you, have no judgments about your life, no expectations, and give up the need to know what happens tomorrow.
Have no judgments. No expectations. And give up the need to know what happens tomorrow. Tweet, tweet on that, too. Go ahead.
