You don’t always have to work hard to experience healing, love, worthiness, peace, and safety.

Spirituality helps us to know deeply that we are worthy and lovable. However, during the spiritual journey, many people fall into the trap of spiritual bypassing and materialism. Because of the highly individualistic and consumeristic culture we live in, diving into our spirituality can be overwhelming and may lead to spiritual bypassing and/or spiritual materialism.

The good news is there are ways to overcome this!

In this episode of Soul Essence, Xandra explains the concept of "Spiritual Materialism" (coined by Chogyam Trungpa) as well as "Spiritual Bypassing" (coined by John Welwood). You’ll learn the difference between the two, how to know if you’re experiencing one or both, and how to overcome them.

As she untangles these topics, Xandra helps you find a way to honor your spiritual path through true embodiment and emotional connection, while bringing in deep wisdom and research made popular by author and researcher, Brené Brown.

Topics Discussed:
· What is spiritual materialism?
· What is spiritual bypassing?
· Signs and symptoms of spiritual bypassing and materialism.
· The impactful role of the ego in spirituality.
· Why do Americans lack spiritual connection?
· How to honor your spirituality without feeling like you have to work so hard
