Beginner Mindset On Spirituality With Ashley Hamilton
Summary
This week on The Wellness Matters Podcast, I had a personal conversation with a long time friend of mine, Ashley Hamilton. I thought it would be nice to have Ashely on because she recently went through a spiritual awakening. I had her ask me some beginner-type questions about spirituality because, honestly, I have been studying and living this life long enough where I sometimes forget what the beginning felt like. It was a fun and interesting way to conduct our conversation. We talked about topics like:
Why people may hesitate to start their healing or spiritual journey.
The difference between religion and spirituality.
The shadow side of spirituality.
Soul contracts.
Takeaways
The fear of judgment and the belief that one doesn't have enough time are common reasons why people hesitate to start their healing or spiritual journey.
Religion and spirituality are different, with spirituality emphasizing going within and reclaiming one's power.
Discernment is key in spirituality, as individuals need to determine what feels right for them and what doesn't.
The spiritual journey involves shadow work and navigating the dark aspects of oneself, but it also leads to growth and transformation.
Finding balance and grounding oneself are important in maintaining a healthy spiritual practice. Soul contracts involve choosing challenging life experiences for the purpose of growth and learning.
During times of emotional intensity, it is important to practice grounding and self-care.
Each person's spiritual journey is unique, and it is not necessary to leave behind loved ones who may not be on the same path.
Introducing mindfulness practices, such as deep breathing, to children can help them regulate their emotions and develop self-awareness.
Allowing each person to follow their own spiritual journey is essential, as everyone has their own unique path.
