The spiritual path has its ups and downs. It's supposed to. You can't always expect to be turned on and in an ecstatic state.

| 20 Jan 2020 | Be Humble and Avoid Getting Stuck on the Spiritual Path | 00:09:37 | |
Are you humble and teachable? These are very important qualities to have on the spiritual path. At times, we can awaken to great realizations and have profound shifts in our perspective. This can feel incredible, and sometimes, it can feel as if there cannot possibly be anything more to awaken to. However, there is always more. Evolution knows no end. Consciousness does not cease its expansion. So you must remain open to receiving guidance, no matter where you might be on your path. 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 20 Jan 2020 | Kundalini Shakti Awakening and Non-Duality | 00:10:21 | |
Why has Kundalini Shakti been dismissed by some members of the Non-Duality (Neo-Advaita) community? The Divine Feminine has been suppressed, feared, and disregarded because its power has threatened those unable to fully behold it. 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 21 Jan 2020 | Enlightenment and the Personality | 00:06:18 | |
Upon enlightenment, the personality does not cease as an expression of your relative individuality. It continues on just as the lungs continue to breathe and the heart continues to beat. Upon enlightenment, the personality is simply seen to be a sort of mask that is worn by Existence/Consciousness/God. It is not the totality of who we really are, but it is a useful and beautiful way to express the totality of who we really are as Existence/Consciousness/God. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 21 Jan 2020 | Familial and Ancestral Healing | 00:07:14 | |
For those on a path of healing, spiritual development, awakening, and ascension, inter-generational conditioning is something that absolutely must be addressed and resolved in order for one to really cultivate an embodied sense of love that is free from attachment, unhealed wounds, trauma, and fear. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 21 Jan 2020 | Cult Leaders, Gurus, Spiritual Teachers, and Abuse of Students and Followers | 00:11:39 | |
Today, anyone can claim to be anyone and there are so many people that are naïve enough to believe them. It’s for this reason that one should most definitely employ discernment when seeking out a teacher, mentor or guru. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 21 Jan 2020 | How to Become a Spiritual Teacher | 00:10:21 | |
This vocation, this role, of Spiritual teacher is not one that you can ask for or do anything to make happen. It just happens. You can’t help it. You might not even want it. But it will happen if and when it needs to. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 21 Jan 2020 | If God, Why Suffering? | 00:07:27 | |
Suffering is painful and it’s real. I’m not going to just dismiss it by saying “there is no ego/self/me that suffers” like you might hear from neo-advaitins or non-dualists. I used to bypass the notion of suffering with that sort of quick dismissal, by just pointing to the transcendent nature of who we really are which is beyond birth and death entirely, but as I’ve moved further, I’ve found that to be a cheap and very surface level form of escapism.

| 22 Jan 2020 | Intro to Kundalini Awakening: The Evolutionary Force | 00:20:27 | |
What is Kundalini awakening? In this spontaneous transmission and talk, I introduce the topic of Kundalini. I address its significance in the evolutionary process of a human being, its relationship with enlightenment, Self-realization, Yoga, and meditation. Kundalini can be awakened in another by a spiritual master through shaktipat, it can be awakened through yogic processes such as pranayama, and it can also be awakened spontaneously. Kundalini is necessary for spiritual development, however it can be challenging to work with once it has begun to rise. I present some simple ideas on working with this force. 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 22 Jan 2020 | My Highs and Lows on the Spiritual Path | 00:04:46 | |
The spiritual path has its ups and downs. We can experience bliss and ecstasy at times, and at other times we can experience depression, guilt, and unworthiness. In this episode of the Spiritual Awakening Show, I share some of my own experiences - the highs and the lows. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

The reason that this acceleration in our spiritual development is possible at this time is because people are ready and willing to share what they have discovered, no matter how big or how small. People are willing to listen to and to learn from each other, with humility and sincerity. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

| 22 Jan 2020 | Overcoming the Fear of Intimacy + Managing an Existential Crisis | 00:04:46 | |
We can overcome the fear of intimacy by loving ourselves more intensely, by being with ourselves more intimately. We can use the despair in an existential crisis as fuel for our spiritual awakening, just as Siddhartha Gautama did before realizing his enlightenment as the Buddha. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 22 Jan 2020 | What is God's Will? | 00:03:08 | |
There’s something that’s orchestrating all of this life that we experience. There’s an intelligence that governs it.

| 31 Jan 2020 | 9 Tips: How to Know if a Spiritual Teacher is Right For You | 00:19:26 | |
There are so many spiritual teachers and guides out there. How can we be sure that we’re working with the right ones? For someone seeking spiritual guidance, healing, and support from others, it’s absolutely imperative that discernment is cultivated and practiced on an ongoing basis. We don’t all have the innate ability to simply just know whether a spiritual guide, teacher, or teaching is right for us. When it comes to discerning where a teacher might be on their own path, most cannot just look at a person and say whether they’re spiritually awakened/Self-Realized/enlightened, or not. There’s no halo that suddenly appears over one’s head or anything of that sort. There’s a lot of material and teachings out there that point towards enlightenment, spiritual awakening, and healing. Some of these teachings contradict each other and some are not meant for everyone. In each moment, the ability to discern between what we’re meant to explore and what we’re meant to leave alone is an invaluable skill on this path. Here are 9 practical things to consider when sifting through the many resources available to you on your spiritual journey. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 04 Feb 2020 | Sickness and Spiritual Awakening | 00:27:51 | |

| 05 Feb 2020 | Inner Turmoil After Spiritual Awakening and What to Do About It | 00:10:07 | |
After spiritual awakening, the limitations that hold us back from really allowing immense amounts of Shakti to flow through our nervous system comes in the form of emotional blockages and trauma, known as vasanas in the Yogic tradition and samskaras in Buddhism. Resting in samadhi in meditation is absolutely critical at this point in order to allow our consciousness to expand and be integrated. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

Following this talk is a Q and A session. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 17 Feb 2020 | The Deepest Level of Self-Love | 00:20:56 | |
In this satsang, I go deep into the topic of Self-Love. I speak about how we can love ourselves, why we should, and what happens when we do. Self-Love is giving ourselves unconditional permission to think, feel, or experience anything that may arise within our fields. When we love ourselves, we allow the bottled up trauma, pain, and conditioning to surface and be released. This creates space for deep peace. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 16 Feb 2020 | Self-Love: Unconditional Permission to Think or Feel Anything | 00:06:56 | |
In this episode, I share a very personal anecdote about what happened to me when I finally gave myself full permission to think, feel, or experience anything within myself. I speak about the difficult things that began to arise in my system - things that I carried with me from childhood, infancy, and past lives. I share about how I felt after I gave these things a chance to be seen as another aspect of the full spectrum of the Divine Light of Consciousness. Question? Reach me at: info@brentspirit.com | |||

| 26 Feb 2020 | Bliss and Spiritual Awakening: Sat-Chit-Ananda | 00:09:10 | |
In this spontaneous message, I ramble about the experience of bliss during the process of spiritual awakening. In Sanskrit, the nature of reality, known as Brahman, is described as having the qualities of Sat-Chit-Ananda. This means Being-Consciousness-Bliss. I share some insights about going beyond the mere non-dual awakening that is solely on the level of the mind and inviting the body and the full chakra system to relish in the awakened state. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

Are you an empath that’s been been hurt by a narcissist? In this talk, I share a spiritual perspective and a practice for overcoming the pain and trauma after falling victim to an abuser.

How can we use moments of being triggered as opportunities to release the suppressed pain that we may be carrying? During this time of planetary ascension into the fifth dimension (5D), the transformation of consciousness is accelerating. Being triggered by external people or circumstances is a way that consciousness is helping the healing process to speed up so that we can be established in Heart-centered consciousness. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

| 23 May 2020 | The Addiction to Spiritual Experiences | 00:16:41 | |
Spiritual experiences can be highly addictive. On one hand, they indicate that we are experiencing a shift in consciousness, perhaps as a result of our spiritual practices.

On the spiritual path, there are sometimes different ideas about managing conflict in our lives and the world.

Using the teachings in the Bhagavad Gita to support my message, I explain about how at times, we may be inspired to speak out and resist abuse, whereas at other times, we may be called to be an anchor of consciousness, love, and healing energy.

| 29 Jun 2020 | Don’t Censor Your Thoughts | 00:09:25 | |
You're allowed to think, feel, and experience anything that may arise within your system. No, negative thoughts are NOT going to manifest as real world disasters. Go ahead and think all the negativity you want! In fact, it's necessary to release some of the negativity that we may be holding onto through the form of thoughts and emotions. It's part of the grief cycle. It's healthy to feel down, angry, sad, confused, and depressed sometimes. It's how we heal. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

| 23 Aug 2020 | Oversharing About Spirituality - Finding Balance | 00:07:51 | |
There’s a common tendency among many spiritual seekers to want to express their spirituality as much as possible, whether others are ready and willing to listen or not. Why is this? At times, oversharing about our spiritual experiences, awakenings, and realizations can push people away, especially those who can’t relate.

| 10 Dec 2020 | Eating Meat and Spiritual Awakening | 00:16:28 | |

What is Unconditional Love and its significance on the path of Self-Realization and spiritual awakening?

It can also happen as a result of trauma, drug use, prayer and devotion, or even spontaneously. In this part of the Kundalini series, I explore some of the different reasons for why Kundalini might awaken. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

In this part of the Kundalini Series, I explore the topic of shaktipat - how it's given and how it's received. Shaktipat is the transmission of Shakti, which is the essence of Kundalini. It is the power of the Divine Mother. Through shaktipat, a spiritual seeker can have their own Kundalini activated or even awakened with a full rising. There are some caveats to shaktipat though. 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

In this episode, we explore one of the many pitfalls of the spiritual path - Zen Sickness, or Emptiness Sickness, sometimes known as Depersonalization/Derealization (DP/DR).

Have you felt loneliness on the spiritual journey? It’s quite common. It’s important to be mindful of when we’re being arrogant and judgmental toward those who aren’t into spirituality like we are. If we can accept them as they are, then we can attract an awakened tribe that really gets us. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

Many don't understand this idea and end up overclocking and destabilizing their system unnecessarily because they push too hard with spiritual practices when they no longer need to. Kundalini Shakti has its own intelligence and plan. Once she awakens, you can take a more passive approach to your spiritual practices.

The same attitude that you approached puberty with can be applied to Kundalini. The processes are very similar. You didn't trip about puberty. Don't trip about Kundalini awakening, either. Just like how you didn't need to read everything about hormones and do things to facilitate puberty, you don't need to read everything about chakras and nadis or do anything to control Kundalini rising, either. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 23 Mar 2023 | Kundalini is Unique for Everyone | Kundalini Awakening Series Part 34 | 00:15:34 | |
The Kundalini Shakti awakening process is highly individualized though there are general overarching themes that we see across the board. Some will have a Kundalini rising from the Root Chakra toward the Crown Chakra, others will experience a Descent of Grace from the Crown Chakra downward, for example. There are an infinite amount of mystical phenomena that can be experienced and no two journeys are identical. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
| 26 Mar 2023 | Hey Lightworker, Stop Being Insecure and Get to Work! Jesus, the Buddha, & Ramana Were Imperfect Too | 00:27:45 | |
Sometimes those that are called to be lightworkers hold themselves back with feelings of insecurity and unworthiness. You don’t have to be perfect to begin this work. In fact, the greatest lightworkers weren’t perfect themselves. There is an ascension happening on the planet. People need your healing and support as they awaken. Get to work! 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

Spiritual awakening can create energetic instability with many challenges, such as depersonalization/derealization (DP/DR), Zen Sickness, Emptiness Sickness, psychosis, mania, insomnia, and more.

Be mindful not to become obsessive and attached to intellectual knowledge about the Kundalini Shakti awakening process. A caterpillar doesn't need to know anything about metamorphosizing into a butterfly. You don't need to obsess over the chakras, nadis, past lives, and all that stuff. Surrender and let the process unfold. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

If you think the process is an illness, you will approach it looking for the cure. There is no cure for Kundalini awakening because it is not an illness. There is no cure for puberty either. Kundalini awakening is spiritual puberty - an evolutionary transformation toward Self-Realization. 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||

| 10 Apr 2023 | Don't Make Kundalini Awakening Your Entire Personality | Part 38 | 00:13:26 | |
To me, letting go of the Kundalini Shakti awakening narrative is a sign of maturation and wisdom. This is what it means to integrate and embody your spirituality. A butterfly doesn’t dwell on its time in the cocoon. It just lives as a butterfly now. 📿SPIRITUALITY 101: Crash Course - Unmask the Mystic Within (FREE) 🌳THE NO-NONSENSE GROUNDING GUIDE (FREE) 💎ABUNDICA: Principles & Practices for Manifesting Abundance (FREE) 🌍GROUNDED: Spiritual Emergence & Integration Course (8+ Hours) | |||
