Why QAnon Infected The Spiritual and Wellness Communities

by Ash | January 16, 2021 | Beginners, bypassing, Discernment, Personal Development, Question Submission, Shadow, Spirit, Spiritual Leaders | 1 Comment

I’ve been receiving a lot of comments on my posts lately from people within the spiritual community and outside of it all saying the same thing: “I don’t understand how people got from spirituality to QAnon.” Hold my beer, I’m gonna draw you a diagram…

Have You Been the Victim of Spiritual Abuse?

by Ash | January 13, 2021 | Discernment, Spirit, Spiritual Leaders | 0 Comments

I’ve seen (and been subjected to) spiritual abuse many times throughout my spiritual journey. I’ve compiled all the signs and symptoms of spiritual abuse that I’ve observed so that you can spot it.

How Separation Consciousness Masks Itself In Spiritual Unity

by Ash | January 11, 2021 | age of aquarius, Beginners, consciousness, Discernment, duality, lightworker, Spirit | 0 Comments

One of the main goals of spirituality is to move away from separation consciousness and ascend by achieving unity consciousness, but separation consciousness has infiltrated spirituality (!). Are you unknowingly embodying separation consciousness in the name of spirituality?

In times of fear and uncertainty, our minds go to

In times of fear and uncertainty, our minds go to all the scariest places, looking for outside answers from outside people. We look to others to lead us. To tell us what to do. To tell us everything will be okay.

Every single thing that happens is neither positive or negative in and of itself, it only becomes so when we decide how we will view it, and subsequently, how we will respond to it. Fear is a choice we make.

What if that leader is you? Relying on your own ability to ground yourself, to center yourself, and to choose to be okay, no matter what? 📷: @yana.potter.art

Everyone has heard of call out culture, and you’

Everyone has heard of call out culture, and you’re probably aware of the backlash and counter movement of “calling in” instead of calling out.

Some people think calling out is shaming, and therefore, invalid. Let’s clarify that shame is about who you are and guilt is about what you did. You can call out a person’s actions without shaming them as a bad person.

Shame and guilt are naturally occurring human emotions and as such, serve a purpose to motivate us to do better when it isn’t being used by an abuser as a tool to manipulate.

Using spiritual concepts to avoid guilt or sitting with shame is #spiritualbypassing and not confronting harmful messaging or behavior when you see it allows abusers to continue abusing.

It’s just as important to be aware of your own motivations for calling out. Are you doing it to shame, or are you doing it to protect the vulnerable by raising awareness?

This is #shadowwork .

As I've been posting about conspirituality in the wellness industry and spiritual community, I've gotten several comments to the effect of, "I can't understand how spiritual people can be involved in this."

There's a handful of factors involved here that created the perfect storm, as it were, and pre-enlightened wellness/spirituality influencers (along with a handful of the old guard who have engaged in heavy spiritual bypassing) are directly responsible for the spread of conspiracy theories in 2020. They are the recruitment arm of a cult and terrorist organization. We, as a community, enabled this and only we, as a community, can put an end to it.

I promised I would lay all of that out, in detail, in my next blog post. It's too much to post directly to instagram, so it's now available (link in bio), or visit directly: inmysacredspace.com/blog

It’s crazy out there, guys. Remember, you cannot control what goes on around you, but you can control what goes on within you and that is the greatest power any human being possesses.

The more you focus on uncertainty of the future, the more fearful and anxious you become. Stay rooted in the right now, right in front of you. Your family. Your home. Your work. Yourself.

Media speculation is only going to feed your fears, but it’s just that: speculation. Stay informed, but moderate your consumption.

Headlines are particularly loaded and divisive right now because we are in an election year. If you’re not learning anything new, then reading and sharing the news is only serving to reinforce your beliefs. Take a break. Take a breath. Let your mind be with things that bring you joy.

Stay focused. Stay present. Find your light.
XO,
Ash

There are times in life when it appears as though

There are times in life when it appears as though we are completely enveloped in darkness. All hope seems lost. Our hearts ache. The world as we knew it is crumbling all around us.

In times like these, it’s easy to fall prey to your limited perspective and to feel as though you can’t go on. All you see around you is the darkness. You cannot see what’s on the other side..
#“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.” – Cynthia Occelli

We have conditioned ourselves to believe that when things begin to fall apart, it’s a bad thing. And because we believe this to be a bad thing, we have begun to fear it. We fear the very thing which allows us to grow.

At some point, the seed must come undone. Its self, as it knows it, must fall apart in order to expand and BECOME. “Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.” -Chuck Palahniuk

Embrace your disaster. Surrender to change. Allow the transformation. Accept the pain and grow through it. Because you have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.

The gardener never actually sees the seed sprouting. Usually, you just happen to look one day and there are the little new leaves, standing sturdily above the dirt where a day or two before there was nothing.

The entire world is about to change. If you watch carefully, you’ll see it sprout.

Spiritual bypassing masks itself in fraudulent emp

Spiritual bypassing masks itself in fraudulent empathy while ignoring, repressing, and invalidating very real emotions and experiences.

This kind of bypassing in regard to Black Lives Matter invalidates hundreds of years of ancestral and emotional trauma of millions of people by telling them to “just get over it” even when they are still experiencing systematic abuse.

Telling them the abuse they are experiencing isn’t real and their anger isn’t justified or valid is gaslighting. Victimhood is only imaginary when you’re not actually being abused. 
Anger is the result of a boundary being crossed. In terms of abusive societal structure, the Black Lives Matter movement is setting a boundary. An entire group of people are saying “this will not happen to us anymore.” Owning your anger and setting a boundary is the opposite of “disempowering.” “I would never have experienced the golden opportunities that are available to us all.” Part of white privilege is that there are a lot more golden opportunities available to white people, simply because they’re white, and until we recognize this and adjust it, people of color are still going to be abused. This argument mistakenly assumes that everyone is afforded the same opportunities as you and lacks the comprehension of what systemic injustice is or does to disadvantaged people.

As souls, we DO yearn for growth. Part of that growth is the experience of compassion, empathy, and understanding other people’s pain, if and especially when that pain is caused by you or a culture that you or your ancestors have contributed to. If you haven’t learned that lesson, you haven’t yet learned Love, and learning (or rather, remembering) Love is what we are here for.  #spirituality #spiritualbypassing #whiteprivilege #spiritualkaren #blacklivesmatter #loveandlight #shadowwork

In the Tarot world, we have a common label we use

In the Tarot world, we have a common label we use for when the shit hits the fan: a Tower moment.

The Tower is a major arcana card that represents having the rug pulled out from under you, suddenly, and swiftly. The imagery depicts a tower of some kind being struck by lightning from above, crumbling, often on fire, with people falling from it.

This, dear humans, is just such a moment in which we find ourselves in our collective history.

Now, before you go feeling all doom and gloom, every card in the Tarot has a double meaning, and the Tower is no different. It’s got a strong Plutonian theme built into it—destruction, revelation of what is hidden, and rebirth.

The Tower represents the establishment. The status quo of your life. The old foundations which your current beliefs and reality are built upon. And the tower is falling apart. The one thing that we know about the Tower is that once it’s done crumbling, it brings us a new clarity through a shift in perspective. In some ways, you can look at the Tower as being a moment of apocalypse: an unveiling of that which was hidden from our consciousness. The exposure of the shadow. A massive shift in your worldview.

The shi(f)t has hit the fan, my friends. I wrote a whole post about what the Tarot tells us about times like these. You can find the link in my bio.

In times of fear and uncertainty, our minds go to

In times of fear and uncertainty, our minds go to all the scariest places, looking for outside answers from outside people. We look to others to lead us. To tell us what to do. To tell us everything will be okay.

Every single thing that happens is neither positive or negative in and of itself, it only becomes so when we decide how we will view it, and subsequently, how we will respond to it. Fear is a choice we make.

Everyone has heard of call out culture, and you’

Everyone has heard of call out culture, and you’re probably aware of the backlash and counter movement of “calling in” instead of calling out.

Some people think calling out is shaming, and therefore, invalid. Let’s clarify that shame is about who you are and guilt is about what you did. You can call out a person’s actions without shaming them as a bad person.

Shame and guilt are naturally occurring human emotions and as such, serve a purpose to motivate us to do better when it isn’t being used by an abuser as a tool to manipulate.

Using spiritual concepts to avoid guilt or sitting with shame is #spiritualbypassing and not confronting harmful messaging or behavior when you see it allows abusers to continue abusing.

It’s just as important to be aware of your own motivations for calling out. Are you doing it to shame, or are you doing it to protect the vulnerable by raising awareness?

As I've been posting about conspirituality in the

As I've been posting about conspirituality in the wellness industry and spiritual community, I've gotten several comments to the effect of, "I can't understand how spiritual people can be involved in this."

There's a handful of factors involved here that created the perfect storm, as it were, and pre-enlightened wellness/spirituality influencers (along with a handful of the old guard who have engaged in heavy spiritual bypassing) are directly responsible for the spread of conspiracy theories in 2020. They are the recruitment arm of a cult and terrorist organization. We, as a community, enabled this and only we, as a community, can put an end to it.

I promised I would lay all of that out, in detail, in my next blog post. It's too much to post directly to instagram, so it's now available (link in bio), or visit directly: inmysacredspace.com/blog

It’s crazy out there, guys. Remember, you cannot control what goes on around you, but you can control what goes on within you and that is the greatest power any human being possesses.

The more you focus on uncertainty of the future, the more fearful and anxious you become. Stay rooted in the right now, right in front of you. Your family. Your home. Your work. Yourself.

Media speculation is only going to feed your fears, but it’s just that: speculation. Stay informed, but moderate your consumption.

Headlines are particularly loaded and divisive right now because we are in an election year. If you’re not learning anything new, then reading and sharing the news is only serving to reinforce your beliefs. Take a break. Take a breath. Let your mind be with things that bring you joy.

Stay focused. Stay present. Find your light.
XO,
Ash

There are times in life when it appears as though

There are times in life when it appears as though we are completely enveloped in darkness. All hope seems lost. Our hearts ache. The world as we knew it is crumbling all around us.

In times like these, it’s easy to fall prey to your limited perspective and to feel as though you can’t go on. All you see around you is the darkness. You cannot see what’s on the other side..
#“For a seed to achieve its greatest expression, it must come completely undone. The shell cracks, its insides come out and everything changes. To someone who doesn’t understand growth, it would look like complete destruction.” – Cynthia Occelli

We have conditioned ourselves to believe that when things begin to fall apart, it’s a bad thing. And because we believe this to be a bad thing, we have begun to fear it. We fear the very thing which allows us to grow.

At some point, the seed must come undone. Its self, as it knows it, must fall apart in order to expand and BECOME. “Only after disaster can we be resurrected. It’s only after you’ve lost everything that you’re free to do anything. Nothing is static, everything is evolving, everything is falling apart.” -Chuck Palahniuk

Embrace your disaster. Surrender to change. Allow the transformation. Accept the pain and grow through it. Because you have to keep breaking your heart until it opens.

The gardener never actually sees the seed sprouting. Usually, you just happen to look one day and there are the little new leaves, standing sturdily above the dirt where a day or two before there was nothing.

The entire world is about to change. If you watch carefully, you’ll see it sprout.

Spiritual bypassing masks itself in fraudulent emp

Spiritual bypassing masks itself in fraudulent empathy while ignoring, repressing, and invalidating very real emotions and experiences.

This kind of bypassing in regard to Black Lives Matter invalidates hundreds of years of ancestral and emotional trauma of millions of people by telling them to “just get over it” even when they are still experiencing systematic abuse.

Telling them the abuse they are experiencing isn’t real and their anger isn’t justified or valid is gaslighting. Victimhood is only imaginary when you’re not actually being abused. 
Anger is the result of a boundary being crossed. In terms of abusive societal structure, the Black Lives Matter movement is setting a boundary. An entire group of people are saying “this will not happen to us anymore.” Owning your anger and setting a boundary is the opposite of “disempowering.” “I would never have experienced the golden opportunities that are available to us all.” Part of white privilege is that there are a lot more golden opportunities available to white people, simply because they’re white, and until we recognize this and adjust it, people of color are still going to be abused. This argument mistakenly assumes that everyone is afforded the same opportunities as you and lacks the comprehension of what systemic injustice is or does to disadvantaged people.

As souls, we DO yearn for growth. Part of that growth is the experience of compassion, empathy, and understanding other people’s pain, if and especially when that pain is caused by you or a culture that you or your ancestors have contributed to. If you haven’t learned that lesson, you haven’t yet learned Love, and learning (or rather, remembering) Love is what we are here for.  #spirituality #spiritualbypassing #whiteprivilege #spiritualkaren #blacklivesmatter #loveandlight #shadowwork

In the Tarot world, we have a common label we use

In the Tarot world, we have a common label we use for when the shit hits the fan: a Tower moment.

The Tower is a major arcana card that represents having the rug pulled out from under you, suddenly, and swiftly. The imagery depicts a tower of some kind being struck by lightning from above, crumbling, often on fire, with people falling from it.

This, dear humans, is just such a moment in which we find ourselves in our collective history.

Now, before you go feeling all doom and gloom, every card in the Tarot has a double meaning, and the Tower is no different. It’s got a strong Plutonian theme built into it—destruction, revelation of what is hidden, and rebirth.

The Tower represents the establishment. The status quo of your life. The old foundations which your current beliefs and reality are built upon. And the tower is falling apart. The one thing that we know about the Tower is that once it’s done crumbling, it brings us a new clarity through a shift in perspective. In some ways, you can look at the Tower as being a moment of apocalypse: an unveiling of that which was hidden from our consciousness. The exposure of the shadow. A massive shift in your worldview.

The shi(f)t has hit the fan, my friends. I wrote a whole post about what the Tarot tells us about times like these. You can find the link in my bio.
