from Body Wisdom Rising · host Alyssa Stefanson
Send us Fan MailWe explore Wetiko as a collective mind virus and how it hides in projection, separation, and the parts of us we refuse to see. We connect Jungian shadow work, addiction as spiritual hunger, and the way awareness and embodiment help us reclaim life force and choose a different path. • defining wetiko through Paul Levy’s lens as a collective psycho-spiritual blindness • noticing transmission through projection, othering, scapegoating, and moral certainty • linking addiction and compulsive behaviour to disconnection and spiritual hunger • reclaiming creative energy by bringing shadow material into awareness • distinguishing judgement from discernment and staying protected through being • naming spiritual superiority, victim-perpetrator dynamics, and groupthink traps • understanding awakening as descent, not bypassing, with will and somatic healing • using triggers as information, including envy, resentment, fear, and reactivity • unpacking polarization, ideological possession, and consumer culture as wetiko fuel • practising the antidote through humility, curiosity, community, and conscious choice Reach out to me on Instagram.
