Oprah Winfrey 0:01 ↗
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.
Caroline Myss 0:18 ↗
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.
Oprah Winfrey 0:31 ↗
Is that true?
Caroline Myss 0:33 ↗
That's true. Very true.
Oprah Winfrey 0:36 ↗
Caroline said she could also gauge people's health without a physical examination. She'd refer to herself as a medical intuitive.
Caroline Myss 0:44 ↗
I feel like cold feet, cold hands, imbalance. I can't get any sense of balance in your body at all.
Oprah Winfrey 0:53 ↗
The response from our viewers was overwhelming. And Caroline came back to the show three more times.
Caroline Myss 0:59 ↗
The concept of spirit.
Oprah Winfrey 1:01 ↗
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...
Caroline Myss 1:19 ↗
That's a big, big question.
Oprah Winfrey 1:21 ↗
Okay, how do you know you're on the right path? You were saying that it's not as hard as we may think.
Caroline Myss 1:26 ↗
No, it's not. It's not at all.
Oprah Winfrey 1:28 ↗
Okay, before you answer that — does everybody — before you answer that, does everybody have a path that is the best path for them?
Caroline Myss 1:36 ↗
Totally. Everyone has a path. No one falls from a tree without... yeah, just right?
Oprah Winfrey 1:48 ↗
So, there's nobody here on Earth whose life doesn't have a purpose or a path.
Caroline Myss 1:52 ↗
Correct. Correct. Absolutely, no one. If you have life, you have purpose.
Oprah Winfrey 1:58 ↗
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.
Caroline Myss 2:14 ↗
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.
Oprah Winfrey 2:37 ↗
Wow.
Caroline Myss 2:38 ↗
What is in one is in the whole. It can't be otherwise. It cannot.
Oprah Winfrey 2:44 ↗
Now, I knew that and I say that, but I just got that in a different way.
Caroline Myss 2:47 ↗
Makes me want to weep. It does.
Oprah Winfrey 2:49 ↗
Yeah. The magnitude of that makes me want to weep.
Caroline Myss 2:54 ↗
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.
Oprah Winfrey 3:04 ↗
I know that. I know that. Now, you just reminded me.
Caroline Myss 3:06 ↗
Really? It goes to your soul.
Oprah Winfrey 3:08 ↗
It goes to my soul.
Caroline Myss 3:09 ↗
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.
Oprah Winfrey 3:29 ↗
Have no judgments. No expectations. And give up the need to know what happens tomorrow. Tweet, tweet on that, too. Go ahead.
