What to Do When the Bliss State Fades: C...

International School of Temple Arts
About this episode

If you've ever been to a spiritual retreat, you might know that they can be totally blissful places. Dancing, good food, vibrant people, deep teaching. Paradise! 

Yes, they can involve difficult emotions, and sometimes the teachings can be complex, but that's often part of the experience.

So, what happens when it all comes to an end and you have to head back home and, somehow, put all you learned and experienced into action for real? 

Well, in this episode of the Spiritual, Sexual, Shamanic podcast, ISTA Lead Facilitator Crystal Dawn Morris tells us about her own experiences with blissed out states of being and how she integrates them into her ongoing life. 

She shares about some important tools she teaches in ISTA trainings for processing tough emotional experiences and maintaining our sensitivity, and goes deep on a unique experience she has designed especially for bringing spiritual training into every day reality, "Living Level One."

She also talks about: 

  • Her first ever altered state of consciousness
  • The concept and practice of "sonic driving"
  • Our Emotional Guidance System
  • The practice of Aspecting and how to do it
  • How the emotional body works
