    Episode 11 — The Turning Point: From Knowing to Being

    Welcome to Awakening the Spiritual Mind, a podcast and journey created by Elisabeth Carrio, author, transpersonal coach, and explorer of consciousness.In this episode, we reach a threshold — the turning point.It marks the passage between understanding and embodying, between knowing the path and walking it.Throughout Part II of this journey, we explored the inner landscape: beliefs, patterns, archetypes, and the cultural myths shaping our sense of self. But understanding alone does not transform us. True transformation begins when wisdom moves from the mind into the body — when silence, presence, and intuition begin to lead.This is the essence of Part III, The Turning Point: the moment when you stop trying to fix yourself and begin to remember who you are.It’s the quiet shift from thinking to being — from explaining life to living it.✨ In this episode, you will:Revisit the key insights from Part II and understand how they prepare the ground for real transformation.Discover why silence and embodiment are the next frontiers of awakening.Learn how “pausing” is not passivity, but the most powerful form of presence.Enter the doorway of Part III — the inner alchemy where integration begins.“This is not about becoming someone new. It’s about remembering who you truly are.”Go further in your journey: Download your free Awakening Journal — your reflective companion for each episode:👉 elisabeth-carrio.com/awakening-journalMy book Awakening the Spiritual Mind: A Guide to Finding Meaning and Purpose in Modern Times will be released in 2026.

    Episode 9- Kabbalistic Psychology & The Tree Within

    Welcome back to Awakening the Spiritual Mind — a podcast by Elisabeth Carrio, author, transpersonal coach, and explorer of consciousness. In this episode, we explore Kabbalistic Psychology and the Tree of Life — not as a mystical theory, but as a living map of inner balance. The Tree reflects how energy moves within us — between giving and receiving, intuition and structure, expansion and grounding. Each Sephirah represents a quality of consciousness: compassion (Chesed), discipline (Gevurah), beauty (Tipheret), and more — dynamic forces that, when harmonized, bring us back to wholeness. ✨ “The Tree doesn’t ask for perfection — it invites balance. A constant tuning between heaven and earth, love and truth.” In this episode you’ll discover: The Tree of Life as a psychological map of your inner architecture: How the three pillars (right, left, center) mirror your energy and behavior; The deeper meaning of Da’at — when knowledge becomes embodied wisdom; The Qliphoth as distortions of divine qualities — love without boundaries, discipline without compassion- A guided micro-practice to restore inner harmony 👉 Go further: Download your free Awakening Journal — your reflective companion for each episode: My book Awakening the Spiritual Mind: A Guide to Finding Meaning and Purpose in Modern Times will be released in December 2026. 💫 Connect & Share-If this episode brought you clarity, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone exploring the bridge between psychology and spirituality.

    Welcome back to Awakening the Spiritual Mind — a podcast by Elisabeth Carrio, author, transpersonal coach, and explorer of consciousness.In this episode, we open Chapter 5: Archetypal Astrology and the Inner Self.Astrology here is not fortune-telling — it’s meaning-making.It’s a language of symbols that helps you see your own inner weather — the patterns of energy, tension, and growth that shape your life.✨ “The chart does not define you — it describes the sky within you.”In this episode you’ll discover:How astrology mirrors the psyche rather than predicts eventsThe four elements — Fire, Earth, Air, Water — as languages of your inner balanceHow archetypes like the Warrior, Lover, Rebel, or Sage reveal unconscious patternsWhy awareness = freedom: when you see the pattern, you gain choiceA guided reflection to read your own “inner climate”Go further: Download your free Awakening Journal — the reflective guide that accompanies each episode:👉 elisabeth-carrio.com/awakening-journalMy book Awakening the Spiritual Mind: A Guide to Finding Meaning and Purpose in Modern Times will be released on December 8th, 2026.💫 Connect & ShareIf this episode inspired you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone exploring astrology through a symbolic, psychological lens.Follow me on :elisabeth-carrio.com Get full access to Spiritual Intelligence & Quest for Meaning at elisabethcarrio.substack.com/subscribe

    Episode 7 — You Are Not Just One Self

    In this episode, we explore a fundamental insight: we are not a single, fixed identity, but a constellation of inner voices. Some of these parts support us, others protect us, and some quietly shape our behavior from the background. Through a reading from Chapter 4 of Awakening the Spiritual Mind and a reflective commentary, I invite you to reconsider what you call “yourself.” What if your inner conflicts were not signs of weakness, but expressions of a deeper complexity? Drawing on approaches such as Voice Dialogue and Internal Family Systems, this episode offers a different perspective: we are not broken — we are layered. Integration begins not by eliminating parts of ourselves, but by learning to listen to them. You’ll also be guided through a short practice to connect with your inner voices, and a journal prompt to deepen your awareness. This episode is an invitation to move from fragmentation to coherence, and to reconnect with the calm, curious presence at the center of who you are.
