Spirit and Emotion

Spiritual bypassing and Toxic positivity are rife in our culture and society. We see it every day in our homes, workplaces, and social media. But spiritual bypassing and toxic positivity dismisses, diminishes, and negates people’s truth, emotions, and lived experiences, so we must be mindful and aware of ourselves and honor the lives and experiences of others.

Spirituality is not positive vibes only. That’s actually Toxic Positivity. That’s social media-level spiritualism.

To be truly spiritual, and connected to divine and universal truth is to know, understand and be present with truth in all forms at all times. Especially, our own. Even in the form of difficult conversations and emotions.

We are fully human and experience, and have the right to experience and express that humanness honestly. To feel ALL of our feelings and emotions without running and shying away from the hard shit because it makes us uncomfortable. It’s being fully present with discomfort in order to learn and grow from it.
