For those on a spiritual growth path, or for those who are curious on how to cultivate this path, we often wonder how we can weave spirituality into our day-to-day lives. In a recent conversation on this podcast I asked my spiritual teacher Carissa Schumacher this question. I wanted to know: how can we hold the light and build it into a daily practice for ourselves? What structure is most conducive to opening our channel so that we can stay connected to our spirit and to the unseen? Especially when our lives can get consumed with a lot of doing, instead of simply being. Carissa, who is an intuitive psychic, medium, channel for Yeshua (or Christ Consciousness), and co-creator of the book The Freedom Transmissions has several suggestions for what could be helpful. She says to take what serves you and leave the rest behind.  Something to keep in mind as you listen, Carissa mentions the vertical and the horizontal in this conversation. If you haven’t already listened to my full conversation with her on Episode 23 where she discusses this in detail, here are some crib notes: the vertical is our being or our consciousness – it’s that part of us that is Spirit inhabiting form. And the horizontal is our human lives, our egos, our identity constructs, and the societal norms that are placed within that. It’s basically our day-to-day lives, based in the realm of the doing. To listen to my full conversation with Carissa Schumacher – which of course I highly recommend – visit the show notes or find Episode 23 here on Hold the Light podcast.
