On this Episode Brian talks with guest Jana Stern about how to navigate the spiritual landscape in current times.
Jana shares her personal journey, including her early connection to spirituality and crystals, her struggles with mental health issues like eating disorders and borderline personality disorder, and her path to embracing her psychic gifts and using them to help others. She emphasizes the importance of honoring one's intuition and inner voice, rather than suppressing it.
The Mental Health Crisis and Societal Conditioning:
The discussion explores how societal conditioning and the education system often discourage people from connecting with their true selves, leading to mental health challenges. Jana and the Brian agree that reclaiming ancient wisdom and practices like conscious breathing can help address the global mental health crisis.
Navigating the Spiritual/Conscious Community:
They discuss the challenges of the spiritual/conscious community, including the tendency for some to use it as an escape rather than doing the inner work, and the importance of staying grounded and focused on one's own path rather than judging others. Brian emphasizes the need to find balance and integrate ancient wisdom into modern life.
Finding Guides and Mentors:
They advise listeners to find trustworthy guides and mentors to support their spiritual/conscious journey, while also being discerning and not idolizing them. As well, they emphasize the importance of integrating learnings and not getting lost in any one practice or teacher.
