Is your spiritual awakening experience making you feel life is empty and meaningless? Are you isolated and alone, subtly looking down on those who are still in the purely materialist paradigm? You may be suffering from a bad case of spiritual ego. This ego trap in spirituality is not without its dangers. Spiritual awakening problems can sever friendships, rift families or make you lose your job.

In this episode we give you grounded spiritual tips to navigate this dark night of the soul. Learn about the red flags of spiritual ego and how to integrate a spiritual breakthrough.

Spirit Matters⁠⁠ is a podcast for anyone exploring spirituality from the spiritual heart—an invitation to stay present, see the divine in everything, and surrender to life as it unfolds.

In this episode we explore:

* the 'cocoon phase' of spiritual awakening: knowing when isolation is toxic and when it's actually necessary

* the spiritual trap of feeling superior: how to get off your high horse

* how spiritual experiences are way more common than you think - and how this knowledge can be a cure in itself

We also share our own 'dark night of the soul' experiences. Abhinabha talks openly about his spiritual crisis in the acting school in Amsterdam, and Vajin shares how his own awakening turned him away from his love of sports - only to find it back again later.
