In this episode my dear sister Chrisine Avellino and I geek out about how to skillfully work through suffering in order to keep our hearts open. Christine shares how walking a genuine spiritual path entails having an open heart, but does not mean our heart will always feel open. We discuss different tools, practices, and methods on how to work through the darkness so we can authentically open up the wings of our heart again. If you want to get REAL on your spiritual path, this episode has your name written all over it!
Highlights:
“Walking an authentic spiritual path is about embracing the light and dark. Being able to walk both paths and use both towards spiritual advancement so we can rise into the most authentic version of ourselves. Do not be afraid to explore your own darkness or scary emotions and try to not numb out. Be disciplined and come back to your spiritual practices and you will come back a lot more quickly than you have in the past.”
“It is inspiring to see someone in their joy and to feel uplifted, but I get super inspired by seeing people be real and share an experience that allows me to relate to being human-especially in this day of age where we live with social media and everyone has this highlight real of all the greatest moments of their life. We can get caught in comparison, ‘why doesn’t my life look that good? Why does my life suck? It helps when people are real.”
“How quickly can we come back to our baseline after we are suffering? As we evolve on this spiritual path, learn about ourselves, and heal more I think we are able to come back to the base of peace more quickly.”
"It is so healthy to have boundaries and protect our hearts. That does not mean putting walls up around our heart and keeping people out- but it is healthy to have these boundaries so we can stay in our worth.”
