Today we are joined by spiritual teacher and highly attuned empathic healer, Matt Kahn, to discuss the nuances of spiritual awakening and moving from the head to the heart. Matt explains this journey of becoming our truest selves as one where we must learn to balance the mind and the heart, navigating the fallbacks of ego as we move forward on our spiritual path. He provides a very useful framework for how to move through this with grace and in turn unlock a higher state of being. He and André discuss the spiritual ego, transforming trauma, the power of forgiveness, and navigating the balance of grace and boundaries.  André's Book Recommendations: https://www.knowthyself.one/books ___________ Timecodes: 0:00 Intro  1:28 The Gifts & Challenges of Empathy 8:05 Nuances of the Spiritual Ego 24:01 Using the Breath to Heal & Transform 30:23 Striking the Balance of Non-dualism and Esoteric  38:35 Integrating the Ego 48:55 Trauma as a Vehicle for Awakening 57:36 The Quickening Process of the Planet 1:03:04 Healing Childhood Trauma & Seeing the Bigger Picture 1:10:32 The Power of Forgiveness 1:16:38 Honoring Ourselves with Boundaries  1:23:00 Navigating Life with Grace & Compassion 1:27:45 Does the Universe Have a Plan for You?  1:36:50 Discerning Mystical Experiences 1:47:23 Talking to Ascended Masters 1:56:09 What It's Like to Channel 2:05:37 The Process of Clearing Your Name 2:09:54 Conclusion  ___________ Matt Kahn is an incomparable spiritual teacher, highly attuned empathic healer, powerful speaker, and captivating author.
