What does it mean to be spiritually awake? I don't believe it means that life suddenly becomes easy or that we stop having painful, complicated, very human experiences. Life is still going to be lifey. For me, awakening is becoming more aware of what is happening inside of me and remembering that I have a choice in how I experience what is happening around me.

In this episode, I share a very real situation with my son that gave me an opportunity to practice the Recover Your Soul Process right in the middle of something scary and emotional. 

Rather than simply talking about the nine steps, I walk through them as I was actually experiencing this situation. What was I feeling? What was I trying to control? What was underneath my reaction? And how could I choose to see it differently?

This is what Recover Your Soul has become for me. Not fixing ourselves or getting to a place where nothing ever hurts, but becoming aware of our patterns, beliefs, and stories and learning that we can choose again.

In this episode, we explore:

• What spiritual awakening looks like in everyday life
 • Working the Recover Your Soul 9-Step Process through a real-life experience
 • Releasing control and changing our perception
 • Recognizing old patterns when they show up
 • Moving from reaction into awareness and choice
 • Finding peace without needing everything around us to be peaceful

If you've found Recover Your Soul through Al-Anon, codependency, addiction, people pleasing, or the struggle to let go of control, I hope this conversation gives you a glimpse of where the work can take us.

I'm still learning and practicing this right alongside you. Sometimes the moments we never would have chosen become the moments that show us how much we've changed.

Take what you need and leave the rest.

I'm so grateful you're here.

Namaste,
 Rev. Rachel
