#18: Psychology & Mysticism: The Overlap of Science & Soul

As humans, we navigate many difficult experiences in our lives. Yet as fully embodied students of life & conscious seekers, how can we not bypass integrating these harder experiences such as trauma by finding meaning in them? Discussed is how to leverage the wisdom of western psychology AND spiritual practices, and then ultimately offer the lessons learned from our challenges to benefit others. This episode also includes riveting conversation as to what is “Shadow Work” and why is it so beneficial? Also offered is how timeless practices can live in us, as us, & through us as we adapt & interpret them for this moment in time. Learn in this fascinating episode where science and soul overlap.

Show Notes:

Polyvagul Nerve Theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvagal_theory 

Psyche means “soul” in Latin and “ology” means the study of. Depth psychology and Jungian psychology based in humanistic movement which holds a human has infinite potential. How do we seek that potential?

Much like birth, death, and trauma, any kind of pain or suffering can be a doorway. Trauma can act as the crack where the light gets in.

How do you integrate all of these different facets of who you are and allow for all of that expression so we are living, integrated Beings? Spiritual maturation holds the idea that an experience can simultaneously be magical and traumatic.”

🧘🏽Listen in, fellow seeker, as this episode ends with a lovely meditation that will leave you feeling more peaceful.
