Are You Using Spiritual Practice to Hide? The Truth About Spiritual Bypassing

Have you ever wondered if your spiritual practice is actually holding you back? In this rare solo episode, Harmony Slater opens up about something she has sat with for years: spiritual bypassing — the subtle, socially praised way we use meditation, yoga, journaling, and ritual to sidestep the emotional work we most need to do.   This conversation is deeply personal. Harmony shares her own journey from ballet-driven anorexia to years of devoted Ashtanga practice, and how all of it — every early morning practice, every pose, every certification — was also, in part, a way of hiding. From her body. From her feelings. From herself.   In this episode, you will hear: What spiritual bypassing actually is — and why it is so hard to see in yourself. How yoga, meditation, and breathwork can become sophisticated tools for avoidance. Why discipline and control can shrink your world without you realizing it. The difference between observing your experience and truly feeling it from within. How healing actually happens — and why it requires relationship, not solo practice. The moment Harmony's body finally said enough through burnout and autoimmune illness. A simple 'Do Nothing' practice that reveals more than any technique. Why life itself is the real practice. Whether you have been on the spiritual path for two years or twenty, this episode will meet you where you are.  With honesty, compassion, and an invitation to stop performing and start feeling.
