0:02 / 47:11   Shadow work and the Dangers of Spiritual Bypassing

I was really grateful to be invited by Marcella Onyx to talk on her podcast about Spiritual Bypassing (yes we all do it, even me!) and Shadow work - which you all know how much I love talking about that.

 

Marcella writes of this discussion:

"We kick off a new show format by exploring crucial themes: the significance of avoiding denial and superiority, and the importance of choosing our mentors wisely. Join us as we delve into these topics to gain valuable insights and practical advice.

We share personal experiences and insights into how we've learned from both genuine teachers and those who fell short of authenticity. We examine the dynamics of guru-student relationships, the impact of our own shadow on these interactions, and the necessity of maintaining personal accountability on our spiritual journey.

We'll also address the dangers of spiritual bypassing—how practices meant for healing can sometimes mask deeper issues and how misplaced beliefs in spiritual superiority or entitlement can lead to disconnection from our own growth.

Through personal stories, including navigating grief and the influence of our spiritual teams, we highlight the significance of staying grounded, responsible, and genuinely connected. 

Listen in to gain insights into:

  • The role of shadow work in personal development.
  • How to recognize and avoid spiritual bypassing.
  • The impact of ego and superiority in spiritual practices.
  • The importance of authenticity in choosing spiritual guides.
  • Practical advice for staying connected to your inner truth and growth.

This episode is a call to embrace our shadow parts with love and compassion, ensuring that our spiritual journey is rooted in integrity and self-awareness. We hope you enjoy it."
