Most people go no contact for reasons that sound good on paper, but underneath that, there's a lot more going on that we need to understand, especially as spiritual people.

You get broken up with or somebody crosses a line, and your first instinct may be to cut this person off completely.

That's it. I'm done. No more. And in that moment, it feels empowering. It feels like you've

reclaimed your dignity. It feels like you have control again. And you tell yourself, you're doing it

And we're going to get into why that happens and what to do about it because there's actually a better way to approach no contact that doesn't feel like punishment for them.

It doesn't feel like manipulation.

And it doesn't feel like you're constantly wrestling with yourself or with your emotions just to not reach out. But before we get

into the details of the spiritual approach to no contact, if you're new here, my name is Light Watkins.

who identify as spiritual, but you still find yourself struggling to deal with everyday real life
