Pt. 1 St. Teresa of Avila’s The Interior Castle: Early Struggles of a Wandering Soul

Welcome to a new episode of A Little More Inspired.Over the past couple of months, I’ve fallen in love with a 16th-century Spanish Christian writer, poet, mystic, and Carmelite nun—St. Teresa of Avila. I discovered her and her teachings during a time of deep transition, not just in my worldly life, but spiritually as well.She entered my life as if to answer the questions and inner turmoil I hadn’t yet been able to name. Her divine wisdom and writings have profoundly moved me and helped me take the next steps in my spiritual journey. Her poem "Nada te turbe" (Let nothing disturb you) and her spiritual masterpiece The Interior Castle have brought me comfort and confirmation that the path I’ve been walking these past few years is real, and deeply meaningful.Because I create from a place of learning and inspiration, I’ve decided to turn The Interior Castle into a mini-series—breaking down the soul’s journey toward union with Divine Consciousness.In this episode, I’ll be diving into the early struggles of a wandering soul, before it even senses the light of something greater. I’ll also share a brief reflection on why the first three mansions are often described as a kind of spiritual purgatory—a space I believe many of us dwell in during our lifetimes.I hope you enjoy learning about St. Teresa of Avila as much as I have. Whether you’re just beginning your spiritual journey or have been walking this path for years, her wisdom has something beautiful to offer us all.....I’ve also listed below all the books mentioned in today’s episode.
