From Seeking Light to Embracing Shadow

Honest Spiritual Conversations episode 2

Many traditions teach us to transcend suffering, rise above emotions, and seek light beyond the darkness. But what happens when awakening pulls us in the opposite direction—into the raw, messy, fully human experience we once tried to escape? In this series, we explore the descent: returning to the body, to pain, to ancestral memory, and to the sacredness hidden in the very parts of life we were taught to avoid. Together, we uncover how true awakening is not just about rising above, but also about falling deeply into life, where even suffering becomes divine.
