Description

There are some that proudly proclaim they are on a spiritual path while others want nothing to do with it. However, spirituality is not something you can be "into" or not, everything is spirit. We are all devoted something, the question is what do you worship? What is getting the bulk of your attention? Do you worship your problems by thinking of them constantly? Do you worship your stress by serving it through coping behaviors? In this episode, Isabel and Kristen discuss how we're all evolving on different paths to greater self realization and that through meditation, you can effortlessly redirect the flow of your attention away from troubles and surface desires to your highest self.  Show Notes: 2:00 We are all on a spiritual path (some actively – some not)5:00 “A lot of times people´s belief systems, they may be a very spiritual person, but they are not into `spirituality´ as a subject matter but they are doing things that are full of spirit.” Kristen7:00 Even our obstacles guide us 8.48: Soma and Devotion9:47 “As meditators, our soma flow is actually being redirected inward… it flips around and goes back to its source.
