Turning Inwards

Image of stage 5 of the spiritual wanderer's journey

(See: The Spiritual Wanderer's Journey Overview)

The longer we’re on the spiritual wanderer's journey, the deeper we voyage inwards. Unfortunately, this is a point on the path where people tend to back away: it can be challenging and confronting to look within. Facing the truth can leave a bitter taste in our mouths. Exploring our traumas and woundedness can feel intense and, at times, disturbing.

However, by becoming conscious of our true obstacles, we grow and evolve on a profound level – we begin to dissolve the blockages that obscure our Inner Light. This inner work requires courage and the heart of a Warrior.

Below, you’ll find help for this part of the journey.

(For an in-depth overview of this entire awakening process, see our illuminating Spiritual Wanderer Course.)
