    Personal Will vs Divine Will: Turning Willpower Into Surrender (EP52, 2/2)

    For free live Zoom meditations: www.thegroundoflove.com/meditation Surrender is not passive. It is not floppy, weak, or giving up. Surrender is one of the most active, courageous things you will ever do — and your personal will is the very thing that gets you there. In this second half of our two-part series on personal will and divine will (go back to episode 51 if you haven't heard part one), we go deep into what it actually looks like to keep showing up, keep trying, keep praying, keep doing the healing work — while still trusting that God's hand has the final say. We talk about the two forces inside all of us: the part that wants union, alignment, and truth, and the part still caught in wounding, grasping, and aversion. And we talk about what happens when your faith tips past 51% — how your personal will stops fueling your ego and starts becoming a rerouting force, a spiritual warrior, taking you out of polarity and into surrender. This episode will change how you think about willpower, effort, and what it really means to trust the unknown. Your personal will was never meant to be dampened. It was meant to bring you home. *** Click "Follow" to receive future episodes, released weekly.  *** This podcast show is for people dedicated to spiritual awakening, spiritual practice, psychology, healing work, collective healing and awakening, and global positive social change.  For free meditations, private sessions, and the Ground of Love Healing School, see www.thegroundoflove.com *** This podcast show explores meditation, mindfulness, consciousness, spiritual awakening, and spiritual growth, with a strong focus on personal healing, trauma healing, emotional healing, and somatic healing.

    9 Core Questions to Map out and Deepen Your Spiritual Path (EP49)

    Check out all offerings at www.thegroundoflove.com. This episode covers the foundational framework for deepening your spiritual practice and moving into embodied awakening. This is a core episode that provides an umbrella context of multiple maps within one, that can give you an overview of your spiritual path and where you are within it, so that you can see which levers you may want to pull to balance or deepen your path.  Many spiritual practitioners don't have a clear framework for how all the pieces fit together—or how to integrate spiritual practice into daily life where it actually matters. In this episode, I share nine core questions that are foundational to the work I do with clients in private practice and in the spiritual community I lead in our online group program and in retreats. These aren't abstract philosophy. They're the exact questions that determine whether your spiritual journey leads to real transformation or stays locked in your meditation practice, vagueness, imbalance, cultural wounding or attachment wounding. What we'll cover: In this episode we look at the foundational framework for spiritual growth for sustained spiritual awakening and integration of spiritual experience into daily life. We focus on depth of spiritual practice, applying spiritual learnings to daily life, getting and giving support in spiritual community, growing inner strength and resolve as well as spiritual surrender, and sustained awakening. Some topic we'll cover are: Genuine spiritual development vs spiritual bypassing (the #1 trap that keeps seekers stuck), the paradox that holds your entire spiritual path together. Meeting difficulty as a context for spiritual awakening, how spiritual community and sangha are non-negotiable for deepening your practice, and practical approaches to spiritual awakening that centers trauma healing as a path of spiritual awakening and shows you how you can do self-healing on a very deep level - it helps with balancing the energy field, moving stuck emotion, spiritual healing, mindset, all at once. Who This Episode Is For: Spiritual practitioners and spiritual seekers committed to deepening your path. Anyone ready to move beyond surface-level spirituality into embodied transformation. Those seeking clarity on where to focus your spiritual practice and energy. Spiritual community members and anyone exploring sangha and spiritual friendship. Ready to deepen your spiritual practice?
