Beyond spiritual bypassing:  Integrating Spirituality and the Body for best healing results 

How One Therapist Moved From Non-Duality to Embodied Wholeness

🌟 Podcast Description

What happens when spiritual realization meets unresolved pain in the body? In this powerful and vulnerable episode, we explore the vital connection between spiritual practices and body-centered healing. 

Shauna welcomes Ali, a seasoned therapist and coach with 20+ years of diverse experience, to unpack the limitations of purely spiritual approaches like non-duality when it comes to real, human suffering—and the transformational power of returning to the body.

Whether you’re on a spiritual path that’s left your body behind, or a healing journey that’s seeking deeper soul integration, this episode is your reminder: Healing and wholeness lives in the union of both.

👤 Meet Our Guest: Ali

Ali is a holistic therapist, cognitive hypnotherapist, breathwork facilitator, and meditation practitioner with over two decades of experience. Having trained in the Three Principles, non-duality and somatic practices, she brings a rare integration of mind, body, and spirit. Her own healing journey through anxiety, disconnection, and spiritual bypassing led her to the profound work of inner child reconnection and the embodied wisdom of the “incorr” method.

💡 Reflection Questions for Listeners:

1. Have I used spiritual practices to avoid feeling discomfort or pain in my body?
   
   
   
2. What might shift if I brought loving attention to my body’s unmet needs?
