Inner Work 253: When Family & Friends Don't Understand Your Spiritual Path


Listen Later

Has it been challenging to try to explain your spiritual awakening to family, friends, co-workers, or other people in your life?

In many cases, it can feel like people don't understand your spiritual path, are judgmental about it, or just don't want to hear about your spiritual experiences and the great impact they've had on your life.

The more healing work you do on yourself, the more distance may develop between you and some of the people in your life - even ones you used to be really close with.

This can be a common aspect of walking the spiritual path, and also a challenging one.

Join me for this episode of INNER WORK, where we'll talk about:

  • why family, friends, and loved ones may not understand your spiritual awakening and spiritual path
  • the stark difference when we operate from ordinary (or egoic) consciousness versus non-ordinary (or transpersonal) consciousness
  • why misunderstandings happen: are you speaking from your Soul, and they're hearing you through their ego?
  • the importance of discernment when sharing with others
  • protecting the sanctity of your spiritual growth and experiences

I hope something here is useful for you!
