There's more to a well-lived robust life than just awakening the experiences. There are people like one or two of my teachers who don't seem to have needed to go through so much on the healing side, but I think they just had happier childhoods. It could be that some people are more damaged than others. But it seems smart to acknowledge that we're multi-dimensional. We've got different facets and different aspects,. To only work on one, like, you know, this sort of deep kind of spirituality, it might be an unbalanced thing for some of us.
In this Episode, You'll Learn:
- The importance of being with and opening up to pain to find healing
- Why working with a spiritual teacher can be an important part of a healing path
- How awakening experiences are doorways we must walk through to find spiritual growth
- The value of community in a spiritual journey
- How to discover the deep experience of life's ordinary moments
- What Zen and poetry have in common
- What it means to come home to and discover a deeper part of ourselves
