In this episode, Morgan and I discuss the truth about how trying the spiritual journey and doing the spiritual work can be. Morgan Garza is an author, teacher, entrepreneur, and community leader. She is an embodiment of the divine feminine here to empower others to become their own guru by stepping out of the darkness of fear and into the light of activated awareness. Her first book Soul Magic: Ancient Wisdom for Modern Mystics (Macmillan) is now available for pre-order, shipping August 2020. In this episode, we discuss: ·      What her life looked like prior to her spiritual journey and the incident that caused her spiritual awakening. ·      The realizations she came to about herself and the way she had been living. ·      How it can seem easier to stay spiritually asleep than to do the spiritual work. ·      The importance of the contraction within the spiritual journey; it’s not all about expansion. ·      The importance of understanding where you are giving your power ·      How she started paying attention to the no’s and yess’s so she could find the life that was right for her. ·      How to distinguish between fear and intuition. ·      The power of doing nothing. ·      What shadow work is and how to do it. ·      How there is no fast track to healing. ·      And her upcoming book that looks at the ancient traditions and history behind our modern spiritual practices.
