Crossing the Spiritual Desert: Navigating the Soul's Journey
Episode 17: Crossing the Spiritual Desert: Navigating the Soul's Journey
In this week’s episode, we examine the phenomenon of “running dry”, which is the experience of periodic phases of our lives when it seems as though we’ve “lost” our passion, our juice. It feels like we’ve lost our way, lost our direction and sense of purpose.
Where we used to feel clear and focused, we now feel foggy, uncertain, and perhaps even depressed.
When the soul calls us to do its work, it will engineer our lives so that we almost have no choice but to go within. At the mundane level, it feels as though we have no other choice, for the soul makes its demands and one way or another, as Dr. James Hillman says, “it will have its way with us.”
What may look like a depression on the surface, might actually be a soul descent process, wherein the soul is directing us to go within, for soul work is done in the deep waters of our being.
In this episode, we’ll discuss the process of how the soul does its work and distinguish how to know if you’re being called to do soul work from being in a clinical depression.
Join me as we explore the “dark night of the soul”, wherein I share my own “dark night” soul descent experience and how that culminated in a renewed vision of who I am and how I chose to change my name to more closely align with my own soul’s calling.
