They discuss: What awakening actually is (and isn't) Head, heart, and gut awakenings, and how they differ Why making awakening a goal can slow down the process The myth that awakening is a finish line How meditation can be a path to enlightenment or a tool for dissociation Why awakened people still have daddy issues What to do if awakening catches you off guard Resource Mentioned: Doing Nothing by Stephen Harrison Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
