NAVIGATING THE SPIRITUAL CRISIS: 3 - When other people try to sabotage or stop your healing

As you heal and continue awakening on your spiritual path, you'll often start doing things like: showing up as authentically yourself in the world, setting healthier boundaries, and saying NO instead of compulsively saying YES to things you don't really want to do. You'll also start outgrowing certain people, places, relationships, and situations. As you do all of this, some people will... freak out. Or react defensively. Or take it as a personal rejection. Or minimize the value of what you're doing. Or just not understand. Unconsciously, people might try to sabotage your healing and keep you from growing. Let's talk about WHY this happens, HOW it can show up, and what you can do to keep healing anyway. In episode #3 of "Navigating the Spiritual Crisis", we'll explore: how your spiritual growth and healing can feel threatening, uncomfortable, or inconvenient to other people WHY people might try to unconsciously sabotage your healing (where this impulse really comes from) specific ways in which people might try to derail you or stop your growth the language people might use to mock, minimize, or criticize your spiritual path... especially as you begin asserting and prioritizing yourself why intentional solitude can be a key part of spiritual awakening how to best support yourself through this kind of situation, and continue healing & growing anyway practicing discernment about when, where, and with whom to share your sacred spiritual experiences   Here's the previous episode on "When you feel invisible (or like an alien) around other people": https://youtu.be/-rPUSAXM7Ac In this podcast series, we explore what the spiritual crisis or awakening really is, how it can look and feel, and how you can best navigate it... without self-sabotage, fear, or feeling like you're "going crazy".  Ultimately, the spiritual crisis is your true Self calling you back home. It's a powerful opportunity to shed the old masks, identities, and roles you've been playing or wearing... so you can embody your FULL human & Divine self in this lifetime, and be authentically who you really are.
