Welcome back to Awakening the Spiritual Mind — a podcast by Elisabeth Carrio, author, transpersonal coach, and explorer of consciousness.

In this episode, we explore a powerful question:
When life feels chaotic or confusing, are you breaking down… or breaking open?

Many of us experience moments of disorientation that look like crisis on the outside — but within, something sacred is trying to emerge.
This is not madness. It’s initiation.

✨ “The soul speaks through symptoms when the mind refuses to listen.”

🎧 In this episode, you’ll explore:
• Why spiritual awakening can sometimes feel like falling apart
• How psychology and myth reframe crisis as initiation — with insights from Jung, Erikson, and Grof
• What “spiritual emergency” really means, and how to navigate it safely
• A guided reflection and journaling practice to bring meaning to confusion

Welcome back to Awakening the Spiritual Mind — a journey of reflection, practice, and transformation with Elisabeth Carrio, author, transpersonal coach, and consultant.

In this episode, we explore one of the most misunderstood phases in any process of awakening: the moment when life falls apart so that something deeper can emerge.

What if pain isn’t a punishment… but an initiation?
What if your exhaustion, confusion, or loss of direction isn’t a breakdown — but a signal that your old identity no longer fits?

✨ “The soul speaks through symptoms when the mind refuses to listen.”

Through stories, insight, and a gentle guided reflection, Elisabeth invites you to see crisis as a threshold — not as failure, but as transformation in progress.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll explore:
• Why not all suffering is pathology — and how to tell the difference
• The hidden wisdom of “spiritual crisis” and how it leads to growth
• How to move from fear to curiosity when life feels uncertain
• A short journaling practice to help you reconnect with meaning

My book Awakening the Spiritual Mind: A Guide to Finding Meaning and Purpose in Modern Times will be released in 2026.

Welcome to Awakening the Spiritual Mind – The Podcast.
This opening episode introduces the heart and vision behind my book Awakening the Spiritual Mind: A Guide to Finding Meaning and Purpose in Modern Times.

In a world of constant motion and achievement, awakening is not an abstract concept — it’s a sacred turning point. It’s the quiet realization that success without meaning leaves us empty, and that true purpose emerges only when we begin to listen deeply to ourselves.

Through readings, reflection, and guided journaling, this episode explores how awakening can guide us in times of transition, and how meaning itself becomes a form of leadership — both personal and collective.

🎧 In this episode:
• A reading excerpt from Awakening the Spiritual Mind
• Reflections on the search for meaning in modern life
• A journaling practice to begin your own journey toward purpose and alignment
