Summary
Walking the path of spiritual awakening can be a lonely experience at times. As you wake up more and more, you might find you're no longer resonating with many (or most) of the people in your life. And it can be difficult to explain what you're going through.
This episode of AWAKENING explores the loneliness of awakening. Join me for a conversation on:
- spiritual awakening and your ego identity
- what it means to experience ego death (and why it can feel so terrifying)
- living life asleep versus living life awake - and why you can't go back now
- the importance of mourning your old self
- how to allow and create new, more meaningful, more aligned relationships in your life

| 0:45.1 | In my work as a healer, people often bring up the topic of loneliness. |
| 0:50.8 | How lonely it can feel to walk the spiritual path and go through an experience of awakening, |
| 0:57.1 | how they're choosing or having to let go of previous relationships and friendships, |
| 1:03.4 | which brings up the question of how and where can they connect with new people in authentic, |
| 1:10.3 | meaningful, soul-aligned ways? |
| 1:13.6 | This is what we'll be exploring in this episode. |
| 1:17.5 | And I think we have to start by talking about spiritual awakening and your ego identity. |
| 1:24.7 | So we can define spiritual awakening as a moment or probably more accurately as a series of |
| 1:31.8 | moments because it doesn't all happen in this one moment in time. So a series of moments where you |
