Spiritual Fatigue: What It Is & How To Break Free

Feeling discouraged, disconnected, or stuck in a rut on your spiritual journey? You may be experiencing spiritual fatigue – a common yet often misunderstood challenge on the spiritual path, especially at its onset. In this episode we're answering a fellow pagan's 'headache' – taking a look at what spiritual fatigue is & how to deal with it. We've all come (or will come) to a point in our learning curve where we feel overwhelmed, weighed down, confused, even frightened by everything that 'has to be learned' and taken in. We sometimes come to a blocking, or it might feel like we're actually losing insight rather than gaining it. You know the feeling: you've just discovered something meaningful — maybe it's your native spirituality, or a path that finally speaks to your soul — and at first, it feels like everything's falling into place. You're reading, learning, practicing… and then? Suddenly, it's too much. Too many opinions. Too much content. And you start to wonder if you ever really understood any of it at all. This is bound to happen when you're trying to unlearn a foreign worldview and (re)discover your own ancestral one later in life, instead of being raised with that understanding from childhood, as is normal. A lifetime's worth of information being crammed in over the course of a few years will no doubt burn someone out at some point.
