7 Ego Traps On The Spiritual Path

The ego is a tricky beast, it even knows how to camouflage itself even on the spiritual path.

The “spiritual ego” is not a distinct type of ego, but rather how the ego hijacks our spiritual awareness and inverts it. Instead of putting our awareness towards becoming better, more compassionate people within the world, using it to inflate our sense of self-importance.

The spiritual ego is tricky to spot because we might mistakenly believe that this is what being spiritual looks like. In our new awareness we become protective of our spiritual identity, and don’t want to confront anything that makes us feel less conscious, aware or enlightened.

What we refer to as the spiritual ego just like the ego in general is a protection mechanism. In this post I want to talk about seven key ways this spiritual ego can manifest on our spiritual paths, and how to start confronting it.

The Problem With the Law of Attraction

You can’t go anywhere these days without hearing about the Law of Attraction in some form – manifestation is now mainstream.

What was once a more niche idea in the New Age community back in the early 2000’s, has become general self-help advice, like many things. This is the idea that a positive mindset brings about positive outcomes, the same for the negative.

Specifically here, whatever intentions you put out into the Universe you receive back. Ask, believe, receive. The belief that there is something bigger is working on whatever we focus our energy on, visualize or affirm.

How to Develop Your Intuition (4 Ways)

We hear the phrases follow your intuition or trust your intuition all the time, but often it’s easier said than done. On my own path I’ve found that learning how to truly listen to my intuition is one of the most difficult tasks of them all.

Firstly, intuition is such an alien concept in the modern world, we put more focus on the logical mind- intuition becomes this vague concept. Secondly, when it comes to taking practical action according to intuition, it’s very hard to decipher what is intuition and what is anxiety, fear or something else.

Developing our intuition is a process of trial and error, because there are many different influences and patterns we’re trying to unlearn at the same time.

In this post I want to outline some of the ways you can work with your intuition, hear it clearly and follow it faithfully based on my experience.

7 Stages of a Spiritual Awakening

Going through a spiritual awakening can be one of the most illuminating and uplifting experiences as a human, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t come with its hardships too.

Spiritual awakening is a process of confronting our illusions and the overall illusory nature of our existence. We will meet our positive aspects, negative aspects and everything in between. A spiritual awakening is about getting to know ourselves on the deepest level.

Eventhough I’m going to try my best to summarize a spiritual awakening for those getting onto the path or who need some clarity, know it doesn’t happen as a simple step by step process. We are always coming back to solidify what we have learned in order to embody these spiritual concepts more deeply.

However we can gain a lot of peace knowing that what we are going through isn’t unusual, that there is a way forward and that millions of people are experiencing the same.

Do You Have an Overactive Third Eye Chakra? (6 Signs)

The third eye is the sixth main chakra (although there are many more) and one of the most well-known and widely discussed chakras aswell.

It is associated with clarity of vision in the non-physical sense. A clear self-awareness, and as an extension a clear perception of the world around us. The third eye is also the psychic organ through which we see non-physical energy, auras etc.

This chakra is located between the eyebrows in a physical sense, often connected to the pineal gland. It is represented by the color indigo, also the sixth color in the rainbow spectrum.

In this post I want to go over some of the signs your third eye is overactive, why this might happen in more detail and how to balance it.

How to Find Your Spiritual Path (4 Steps)

One of the main questions I get regarding the spiritual path is “How do I start?” A lot of people are unsure of where to focus their attention and if they are doing the right thing.

Where a lot of people go wrong is thinking they have to do everything, go down a certain path or practice a specific technique. Instead of just getting started somewhere, they ruminate and get distracted.

In reality, there is no right or wrong on the spiritual path. We might take an approach that isn’t helpful to us and hinders our progress, but the path isn’t linear anyway.

Everything we do with awareness brings us back to ourselves, again and again. It’s a journey of continuously facing yourself – both the light and dark, to find balance.

In this post I’m going to outline some of the ways you can start a spiritual practice, and most importantly, how to keep things simple.
