| Separation & The Unified Field | 27 nov. 2023 | 00:41:58 | |
Become a supporter of the podcast by becoming a Patreon member! In this conversation Christina and Britt dig into Chapter Two from Christina's book Yoga From The Inside Out. Twenty years ago when Christina wrote this book, she introduced the idea of "the sleeping world" as a representation of living life unconsciously or moving through life detached from spiritual belonging. In this conversation Christina reflects on how much more nuanced this idea has become in the year since first writing on it. She reflects on the binary perspective from which she first wrote year ago and how this no longer feels helpful to her. The two discuss the continuous process of living life on purpose and find compassion for the shadowy pieces of self that do not necessarily disappear or change on the spiritual path. Rather, they celebrate how we can learn to care for, tend to, and be responsible for all aspects of oneself as we strive towards conscious, connected lives.
