With Passover around the corner, I thought this would be the perfect time to talk about the concept of personal Egypt: our own limiting beliefs and that which controls us. While during Passover the Haggadah instructs us to regard ourselves as having personally lived through the events of the Exodus, the Seder also allows for self-reflection and discussion of how we can break free of these metaphorical chains, leaving the restraining past in the past and taking the first steps to personal freedom - one that promises self-transcendence and lifts us out of our natural limitations.
