Can meditation cause you to avoid doing the ‘real work’? with Laura Poole

Mahasoma Podcast

This is a new offering on our podcast of shorter wisdom sessions shared from our teachers, of things we have been exploring in group meditations, mentoring sessions, and in our personal lives.

This episode is about the idea that meditation can cause you to avoid doing the ‘real work’ - the harder, emotional, deeper work of change.  Laura Poole shares a perspective that helps us understand what’s really going on when people use meditation to spiritually by-pass what’s needed, and how we can empower ourselves to use our practice in the way it was intended.

What we talk about in this episode.

  • What is spiritual by-passing
  • Why meditation can be seen as avoiding doing the ‘real work’
  • What meditation actually is
  • The real purpose of a daily practice
  • How to harness the full power of meditation as a tool for real, long-lasting, and integrated healing
