Ep. 122 Why Loneliness is Necessary for Spiritual Growth
In this episode I'm revisiting the topic of loneliness from a slightly different perspective: many spiritual teachers say it's a necessary part of our path. This episode includes:
- Why we need to embrace loneliness rather than try to fix it
- How loneliness reaches a peak at the beginning of the inward arc
- Pema Chodron's concept of "cool loneliness" and how to recognize it
- How connecting with our higher selves helps us remember that we are connected to all things
- Why gaining integral consciousness allows us to relate to people who are very different from us
