A New Way of Being

What Spiritual Awakening Actually Looks Like — with Lisa Cairns


Listen Later

A deep and honest conversation about what happens when your identity dissolves, and how awakening isn’t what most people think.

In this episode of A New Way of Being, Simon speaks with spiritual teacher Lisa Cairns about the raw and real experience of spiritual awakening.

Lisa shares how a spontaneous shift in Bali completely changed her perception of reality — dissolving her sense of self, shaking her identity, and opening her to a sense of vast, loving awareness. Far from being a blissed-out fairytale, her journey included disorientation, vulnerability, and deep questioning.

This conversation explores:

  • What spiritual awakening actually looks and feels like

  • Why awakening doesn’t make life easier — but can make it more honest

  • The illusions we live by and what happens when they fall away

  • How to navigate the loss of identity with self-awareness and care

  • Why freedom is always available — even in the mess

This is a challenging and inspiring listen that cuts through spiritual clichés and gets to the heart of what it means to wake up.
