Harm within the Spiritual Community
Listen now
Description
Ep 43: Think of this episode as an invitation - especially if you are white. This episode is born out of the reckoning I have had with myself over the last couple of months about my spiritual practice and also the harmful ideas that I've seen floating around within the spiritual community. I also talk about the problem with "chakras", the inconsistencies in Reiki, and how it's a problem that there is a lack of Black representation within the Reiki community. I encourage you to take a deep breath, sit with any discomfort that surfaces for you, and listen with an open mind. More than likely some of your beliefs are going to be challenged. But challenging our beliefs is how we grow. Be sure to check out the show notes on the episode webpage for links to all the articles, educators, and resources I mention in this episode.
