Spiritual bypassing is one of those hot-button topics in online spaces. Yet, like many nuanced things brought up on the Internet, it's definition is often left vague. For instance - setting limits on what you let into your life is okay, encouraged even. On the flip side, going full-on "good vibes only" is seen as spiritual bypassing. Resilience is lauded as a sign that we're able to manage the change around us, while also being criticized as a buzzword to cover up the seemingly systemic struggles that some believe we shouldn't be facing.
Where do we draw the line on what's okay versus not-okay for our spiritual growth?
In this episode of spiritual af sundays we bring on Katy Valias, a fellow misfit entrepreneur, to talk about spiritual bypassing. We go deep into what "spiritual bypassing" is, and take a critical look at some of the behaviors that are often accused of being signs of spiritual bypassing. We also take a look at how social media has been contributing to this issue, for better or worse. Finally, we talk about another often-misunderstood spiritual concept: Shadow Work.
I had a lot of fun geeking out with Katy on these subjects, and I hope that you find this discussion insightful and that it supports your own spiritual explorations.
