Self-expression is a pushing out of the powers, talents and abilities of YOUR self.
The word ‘express’ literally means to ‘push out’, to exert, to show forth. It means
turning on YOUR light and letting it shine. Self-expression is a ‘yes’ response.
The tiger is a metaphor for self-expression; the desire, the ability and the freedom to just be ME. Renowned mythologist Joseph Campbell said ‘follow your bliss’. When we commit to our own deeper instincts towards self-expression, we enter an adventure zone where the doors of possibility open up to us.
Wake Up Tiger is a journey through this adventure zone. YOU begin at A and you end at Z, and a whole heap of unexpected stuff happens along the way. Just like life.
