Emancipate Your Mind

Many people who have experienced religious trauma have struggled to understand the reasons they had elevated or even ecstatic feelings while attending a church that was also mentally and emotionally harming their sense of well being. Most were even told that those elevated emotions were evidence that the religious teachings were "true" and that any other feelings of disagreement, hurt, anger, or dissonance of any kind should be disregarded in deference to these elevated feelings.

In this episode, we explore what elevated emotions and experiences of transcendence are, how they've traditionally served us in an evolutionary sense, and how we can harness them with or without religion to rise to a higher vision and sense of purpose in our personal life.

While studying about intuition, I began realizing that the way people describe the power of intuition sounded incredibly similar to how they described the gift of the holy ghost or being overpowered by the spirit.

As I got curious with my findings and asked questions in the Facebook group (the link is below), I realized that several people had struggled to tap into their intuition both while religious and after religious transition because of the ways they were taught about the Holy Ghost.

This episode explores when the idea of religious intuition/ the gift of the holy spirit might cause trauma or self trust wounds.

Because there are no resources I can find about this topic out in the broader world, I'd love to hear YOUR insights. Contact me at any of the links below to share your thoughts and experiences.

One of the biggest sources of confusion after leaving high demand religion is trying to discern whether the gut reactions you're having stem from your inner knowing or from your indoctrination.

In this episode, we explore ways to tap into your bodily sensations and your emotional experience to tell whether you're feeling intuition or a fear or shame response induced by childhood trauma, including religious trauma.

All of the most innovative and successful people report that intuition is a big part of their success. Albert Einstein, Winston Churchill, Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs...even Paul McCartney.

It's no wonder that we'd want to know more about how this process works. This is why in recent years, with the improvements in brain imaging and the expansion of our understanding of neurology, science has turned to trying to understand what intuition is and how it works.

While we understand more than we ever have about how intuition might work from a purely scientific perspective, there is still so much we don't know. Some find answers in the spiritual or divine. In some ways, we have more questions about the process now than we ever have had before.

For me, that doesn't matter so much as knowing that intuition is important for our success and happiness and understanding how our own intuitive voice speaks to us.

In this episode we'll cover what intuition is and discuss the different methods your intuitive voice may speak to you. We'll also geek out a bit about how you can use the incredible power of your brain to help you become more creative in your problem solving and make more confident decisions going forward.

Have you ever experienced that feeling of frustration or dissonance when you're living out of alignment with your core personal values?

Are you aware of what your core personal values are? Have you ever given them language?

In your religious life, did you find that one of the things you enjoyed was having language for what you valued and believed? Do you feel a little lost or uncertain now that you're deconstructing or have left religion altogether?

You aren't alone and there is a way to resolve the uncertainty and dissonance.

In this episode, we explore how we arrive at fulfillment in our lives when we're behaving in ways that are in alignment with our core personal values.

We also go over a method to begin exploring what those values might be for you and how to give yourself permission to try things on until you find what fits for your life.

We were all likely programmed to believe we should value certain things the most, but this episode helps you discover what you actually believe and value so that you can experience more confidence and fulfillment with or without religion in your life.
