Multiple recent studies in positive psychology show that more authentic people were found to be happier, have higher self esteem, reported better relationships with others and created more personal growth.
In this era of social media, we have spent many years deceiving eachother. Showing airbrushed lives and dazzling instagram posts of all the best bits, often hiding away our struggles. This has played a role in a seperation and lack mentality in our human community. Finally, we are starting to see change is on the horizon.
Embracing our humanness and sharing the ins and outs of processing and overcoming personal blocks, addictions, depression, breakdowns in identity (and so much more) that affect our day to day as well as key life events, is what will help us reconnect as a community consciousness on a deeper level.
Join us as we discuss our own journeys, what we have proudly achieved and what's still holding us back from becoming our most authentic selves.
Hello ladies! I'm half way through and you may have answered this later on or in another video but I am wondering - what would you describe yourseld in terms of what you believe/religion? You mention you believe in other lives, do meditation - seems very sort of spiritual pagan but also mention God and the Holy Spirit? Do you think they all tie in together? What's your belief in what happened to you in those dreams? Do you believe in the demonic, if so, do you believe in a God, a creator, the good in the evil? Thanks! :) I'm interested because I use to dabble in yoga, meditation, etc. And I had a conversion to the Catholic faith and during that time I had a very heavy, dark presence trying to oppress me and keep me away from God and I believe I opened myself up to that oppression by doing the "new age" things as they call it. Thanks! And good to see you Emma 🤩
@marycox2530 Hey Mary! Thanks for listening 😊 it's great to hear from you! I hope the following answers your question, sorry they're not short answers 😅 I would not say I follow any religion, but do believe in a higher power, an energy source that connects everything in the universe. I am 'spiritual' in essence, but I'm not sure I can offer any other name for my views, just a collection of beliefs and experiences that I have been exposed to or discovered for myself, that resonate with me deeply. Many of these are drawn from Buddhism, Taoism, The kabbalah and Sacred Geometry. - Emma 🌻 - - - - - - - - - - - - - Ahh, great question! The easy answer is that I’m a Christian, however I do believe that there are things which organised religion and the bible doesn’t have a clear answer for, and aspects of spirituality that extends beyond religion in a deeply personal and intimate way. So while I do worship the Christian God, I lean heavily into the Holy Spirit and mysticism for guidance, and believe that there is room for a broader conversation about spirituality within religion and vice versa. - Aidan 🌕
@@marycox2530 Also, to answer your question about demons, God, good and evil, I actually do talk about that later in this video from about minute 38! But if there's anything you'd still like me to go deeper on once you've listened, do let me know! We will soon be releasing more episodes for season 2 in September and plan to talk more about the similarities and differences between 'spirituality' and 'religion' ☺️
I definitely be interested in hearing about whether your two have disagreements in beliefs and whether your two different beliefs conflict with one another? Typically (traditionally) christianity and this sort of spiritualism definitely didn't go together and speaking for the Catholic church is an absolute no go in terms of dabbling into the new age practises. And since you are into spirituality and the mystery of things in the world, you might find the mysticism (not the same as the spirit of new age) the Catholic church of interest. Not many people are aware about it but there are certain things for example if you researched "eucharistic miracles" and people like Padre Pio who had the stigmata, levitated, could biolocate and read souls. Francis of Assisi who had the stigmata, was known to levitate into the tree tops! 😂 and Teresa of Avila to name just a few of the many many many people who had these mystical and miraculous things happen! Might be interesting to do a deep dive into that - a thought invoking debate on whether this idea of spirituality (new age) and christianity can go together or whether they can't as the Catholic church teaches x
