🌟 Are We There Yet? The Trap of Chasing Spiritual Growth
Manage episode 475628074 series 3560265
In this heartfelt and thought-provoking episode, the Lemonettes explore the often-overlooked paradox of spiritual growth. What if chasing enlightenment is actually what blocks us from it?
Join Amanda, Drusilla, Melissa, and Penny as they reflect on the nature of awakening, presence, and the “holy instant”—drawing from personal stories, A Course in Miracles, and spiritual teachings from the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu.
This episode is a loving nudge to stop striving and start being.
In this episode, we talk about:
The trap of spiritual striving and how it delays joy
The holy instant as a doorway to peace and presence
Enlightenment as a state of being—not something to chase
Releasing the pressure to “do it right” on the spiritual path
The importance of love, awareness, and recovery when life gets messy
