Simplifying Consciousness

Gareth Michael & Kim Jewell
About this episode

What does it mean to awaken our spiritual consciousness, and how can we navigate this complex, personal journey? In this week’s thought-provoking episode, Gareth and Kim explore the realm of spiritual consciousness, sharing insights from their own spiritual journeys.

They uncover the dangers of seeking a 'silver bullet' to spiritual enlightenment and emphasize the importance of embracing our own unique experiences to better understand our spiritual paths. By focusing on our own needs and finding peace and acceptance with life's challenges, we can achieve a state of awareness that allows us to grow and evolve on our spiritual journey.

They dive into the complexities of spiritual consciousness and life experiences, examining the concept of oneness, and the importance of letting go of ideas and books that may not resonate with our individual journeys. They also address the problems with a “one-size-fits-all” approach to spiritual growth, and talk about the importance of trusting in our journeys, and embracing the lessons and experiences that come our way.
