Thrilled to share another conversation with my spiritual teacher, Steve Tonsager. Steve is one of the wisest people I know and when I notice things like spiritual bypassing on a mass scale, he is always the person to talk to.
In this episode, we discussed some major topics, all important and timely:
-The pitfalls of relying on external sources for spiritual and mental health
-The difficulties of maintaining balance in a busy world
-The misconceptions surrounding prayer and meditation
-The importance of understanding the context of life
-The role of love and spiritual gifts
-Impacts of the pandemic on mental health
-The concept of Karma and its impact on personal growth and relationships.
