Shadow work and the dangers of spiritual bypassing with Ben Calder

OM Wonder Wellness

In the 4th episode, we kick off a new show format by exploring crucial themes: the significance of avoiding denial and superiority, and the importance of choosing our mentors wisely. Join us as we delve into these topics to gain valuable insights and practical advice. We share personal experiences and insights into how we've learned from both genuine teachers and those who fell short of authenticity. We examine the dynamics of guru-student relationships, the impact of our own shadow on these interactions, and the necessity of maintaining personal accountability on our spiritual journey.

We'll also address the dangers of spiritual bypassing—how practices meant for healing can sometimes mask deeper issues and how misplaced beliefs in spiritual superiority or entitlement can lead to disconnection from our own growth. Through personal stories, including navigating grief and the influence of our spiritual teams, we highlight the significance of staying grounded, responsible, and genuinely connected.
