The Interior Castle: Entering the Inner Courtyard of Mansion 1
from A Little More Inspired · host Blanca Contreras
Hi everyone 🤍 welcome back to A Little More Inspired.In this episode of my Interior Castle series by St. Teresa of Ávila, we begin moving inward—leaving the outer distractions of the world and stepping into the first areas of the soul.We talk about what it actually looks like to start the spiritual life, and why it often begins not with peace… but with discomfort.That feeling that something is missing?That quiet restlessness?That’s not random—it’s grace.In this episode, we explore:• why most people stay near the outer walls• how distraction, comparison, and attachment keep us there• the difference between venial and mortal sin (in a real, practical way)• how sin slowly distorts our perception and weakens the soul• and why God is not ranking us—but inviting us into deeper relationshipWe also talk about something really important—how fear-based teaching and shame can actually push people away from God, and what it looks like to understand sin from a place of clarity instead of fear.This episode is really about awareness.Understanding where we are, what is shaping us,and what it means to begin choosing a life that moves us closer to God.If you’ve ever felt like something is missing,or like you’re being called to something deeper… this is for you.I hope you enjoy this episode and leave feeling a little more inspired 🤍....✨ Stay Connected & Inspired! ✨🌐 Website: alittlemoreinspired.com📸 Instagram: @alittlemoreinspired📧 Email: [email protected]“music by penguinmusic - "Better Day from Pixabay”
