Keywords shame, core false beliefs, LGBTQIA+ community, pride, conscious creation, healing, recovery, visioning, intention setting, embodying the vision, self-worth Takeaways Healing shame and overcoming core false beliefs are essential in the recovery process. The LGBTQIA+ community often experiences shame at an early age, which can be a root cause of addiction. Conscious creation involves making peace with the past, overcoming core false beliefs, visioning, intention setting, and embodying the vision. Visioning is about emptying the mind and listening to inner wisdom, rather than simply visualizing a desired outcome. Embodying the vision involves holding the energy of the desired outcome and acting as if it is already true. Everyone deserves a life filled with love and connection, regardless of past experiences or actions.
