    When you go through a spiritual awakening and discover spirituality, your whole life changes in so many ways, for the better.
    But spirituality isn’t all filled with smelly roses, glitter, rainbows, and unicorns. There’s also a dark side to spirituality that many people get lured into and stuck in, especially when they first awaken.
    And getting stuck in these spiritual rabbit holes can leave you feeling powerless, depleted, and disconnected from your soul truth.
    In this video, you’ll learn the top 6 spirituality traps that can keep you stuck and in low vibration so you can quickly come out of them or avoid them altogether!

      I have been in Dwelling. I didn’t know the word for this. I monitor myself for my ego poking its nose into my Unity consciousness but honestly it feels like dealing with a toddler sometimes! Is this because my accelerated awakening is more unfamiliar to my ego? I just keep gently reminding Her that it’s all good and it’s okay to not freak out.

      How do u know when your Awakening has stopped please Christina? I feel I went through this dark way, soul, Awakening a few years ago, I still have many things I want to change, address & learning & I don't really feel that connection to all but that pain & unconcious confusion has subsided ......... But just listening to u now here in this video, clearly I still have to go deeper - forgiving etc & the ego still gets the better of me - triggers! But How do u forgive, release, ignore victim, manipulating people who u have to work with or a mother/family that make no effort with u?? There's forgiving & being used, walked over??
      Thankyou another brilliant video 🙏❤

      Hi Christina! Love, love, love the content you are providing :) I was wondering if you could speak on sexuality and how it specifically relates to the lgbtq+ community and fits into spirituality? I follow a lot of spiritual content creators and no one seems to address this community which makes me sad and I though it would be perfect because it's pride month! Just an idea :) I know you are probably very busy, but anyway thanks for your content! Have a good day :)

    Spend as much time you can with trees and plants wherever you can, in parks and in nature - woods, beaches, lakes, rivers. You will feel your direct connection to the Divine of which you are, of course, an important part. No ego, no yearning, no fruitless searching, no confusion. Talk to the Divine in nature as you would a trusted friend. You will get communication and answers.

  • @berlinetta____2680
    @berlinetta____2680 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Hi Christina, I am not sure if I have misunderstood your explanations as I usually love your videos. But in short, I was triggered by this. Though I understand it is your experience. I have only just started to accept the fact that I was abused as a child and due to my programming/brainwashing I continued to be abused as an adult. I was raised to believe I existed only for other people, I was only allowed to have sad/vulnerable feelings that matched my caregivers, I was not autonomous, I gave away my power to everyone, I had a physically abusive sibling blah blah blah, and as such, I was and continued to be physically and emotionally abused into my 40's.
    I went through a spiritual awakening a few years ago and I realised the truth.
    I AM judging my family and all others who have abused me as they refuse to even entertain the idea that I might even be a little bit sick due to my upbringing. They refuse to take any responsibility for any of their actions (and they continue to do so). They refuse to look within to help themselves heal. It is inevitable for me to be in a position of judging them as this is my truth and that is the truth external to me.
    After constant invalidation in my life and other forms of abuse, it is unacceptable for someone to tell me I have to accept that they were doing the best they could considering they are unawake and they are a product of their programming. On a purely intellectual level, I understand that but...NO, it isn't acceptable for me to accept that in myself as that is called turning a blind eye to abuse which is what I was forced to do and that perpetuates abuse, but particularly more subtle forms of abuse, and that is how people get away with bad behavior. Inevitably at some point, you have to judge for your own safety and sanity. Unawareness does not give someone a get out of jail card. And some people are just @holes. I don't care about their programming, the fact is that they are abusing me now, and I am only just starting to learn how to even be in my own body (oh, I have a body that I am responsible for and no-one has a right to my body but me? Well that is news to me)...I have to do something about it to save myself.
    Though I don't necessarily practice moral superiority toward them...I have just cut off all contact. But in the end, I know I am right and they are wrong. Because they abused me and that is it. I don't care what the intent was or that it was ignorant or whatever. I wouldn't hurt a fly yet they continued to hurt me. Some of it must have been knowingly as well. But they don't care as it has continued to happen.
    With my vibration and deep shame, I keep on attracting low lifes who attack me just for existing. The difference now is that I am more aware of it but it isn't a quick thing to work through trauma. So no, they do not deserve forgiveness or for me to try to convince myself that we are all one and love and light and open your heart and blah blah, as they do not deserve any kindness of any kind from myself, I hate them. I know I can't talk to them about it, so I just removed myself from any contact. Maybe one day I will naturally get to a point of MEH/indifference. But I am not there yet and at this point on my journey, I am just starting to feel anger which I was not allowed to do, so yes, this triggered me. I couldn't watch the rest of the video. Sorry for the war and peace, but there you go.

      @lilyflower6096 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I feel you. I suffered a lot of abuse from family and partners and while I realise that programming plays a major part, some people are just pure nasty and will most likely not awaken in this lifetime. Therefore they will never even realise what the hell they put people through and it feels unfair - I know this probably puts me in victim consciousness. Maybe one day I will get to the point of Sovereignty where I see them as equals but morally I feel like SHOULD I? Sending love and gentle hugs x

    Glad you mention about spiritual ego as first point. I was guilty of it until I dig deeper into myself and realized I'm not better than anyone else then I ended up dwelling on many things and fell into depression worse than before lol then started to bring myself back up. I'm scared that I'm going into the state of chasing a carrot now, there's this big urge within me to follow the voice and seek enlightenment yet I still don't know if that only means I'm running away from everything and everyone. I really want to be one with my soul, that means I have to take huge risk of being shut out by everyone I know and that includes by my own parents. I'm still contemplating whether to walk towards the place the voice guided me to or stay where I am, stagnant meaningless life. I've been having this unexplainable desire for a few years now and I'm still here... paralyzed by my own thoughts, too scared to take any steps forward. 🍂

My sense of trust in myself (discernment) and the divine was wounded. Recently, I was telling a friend about this while we were in the car, and another car pulled right in front of us with the license plate "Trust Me". Funny how something so seemingly ordinary could have such a profound impact!

    It seems that toxic positivity is cause by a warped understanding of the law of attraction. Positive attracts positive so always being positive will bring positive without bringing negative. But we all know that under the best of circumstances, negative will come. It isn't possible to have only positive.

    Thank you so much Christina, I LOVE this content in this video, and I have joined your waitlist. I also want to support you the way I can to continue doing this very important work. What you have mentioned here, it's exactly what I have been seeing happening in some spiritual communities, and sadly it has affected my contact with someone I felt fairly close with (felt like twin-flame connection), but this separation consciousness and victim mentality, I kept bringing up to him so many times. I am in separation now and open to new connections, as I could not live in this ego mentality. You either believe you are powerful or you are a victim, choose again. Thank you for being here with us, love and gratitude.

    Great video that I have no doubt many needed. I was caught in the trap of “Us VS them” for a short while, which brought me into a dark and scary place.
    Fortunately I did realize the trap and “disconnected” from it, which was so freeing! I finally came to understand “collective consciousness”. The rest of the video I needed to hear, as I didn’t realize I was struggling with those as well.

    My dad is definitely stuck on "Us versus them" and it makes me super sad. He's so deep in it I don't know how to help him.
    I've had a brief period of superiority complex that sometimes comes up and I try to take notice and correct myself. I want to figure out if I'm chasing any carrots, because it's possible but I'm not sure. So it's either I'm so blinded that I cant recognize it or I'm just dwelling too much on it, lol.
    Toxic positivity is such a pet peeve.

I also suffer from Anxiety. I feel my soul is a happy one however, affected by other people's toxicity .. it is a daily struggle for me to be happy with myself knowing there's alot of suffering out there..

      Society in general is toxic like this and on and off this has been the norm in this world for at least a few thousand years with good times mixed in. This world is really meant to rehab souls so most here have something to sort out while a lot of younger souls haven't had much experience with such realities be it from the Pleiades ect. My advice is just not watch news on the TV other than maybe the weather and cut back on social media. If you are one of those like myself who get sucked in regardless due to the energy that comes off from the masses then r.i.p.

    Hi Christina, happy about the content of the video 🤗 i have one thing to say about the first trap You mentioned. I have to add that it's important to know that You have been manipulated by organsied religion and political mafia and that everything You thought was true...it's not.. only after that happens, You take Your power back..not before the awareness of the matrix. And that group exists in that collective unonsciousness so IT needs to be made conscious and integrared. As well as in the example of the blaming parents, it's important to Connect with the pain of the innerchild and validate his emotions before getting to the understanding of the parents. It's really important to see the pain of the inner child as valid and see the mistakes that the parents did, and only after that, get to the forgiveness part. Sending love 💛

To be spiritual is not what we think. As long as You are always in the light, You bypass the dark. As long as you choose one side (the light) You are still in the duality. I don t know If IT makes sense. Be aware of the the gurus and spiritual people who promise You love and light. Awareness and integration means being aware of both sides and choosing neither. Be the fine line between the Yin and yang :D that what transcending duality means.

    I think what I got most from this video as it relates to my own journey is that it's OK just to be me. I do see that the dwelling has been very toxic for me in the past, as during my early life I was diagnosed (falsely) with depression and bipolar and told that I will be this way for the rest of my life, as well as family genetic beliefs that as a woman I am bad and have to suffer. (Wow, that's a hard one to bring up, especially in the modern USA!) All this healing came through me quickly, but then I felt unsure if it was "right" to let the issues go ... I can see now that it was still that expectation that I have to suffer. Also the spiritual separation from regular folks is hard, not my feeling superior, but feeling inferior if I just want to work a normal job and live a simple, everyday life. The message I personally hear from spiritual circles is to "transcend" this world because it's no good. It's been brought to my attention now that it's OK just to be me and exist as I am and be happy. Which just makes me breathe a sigh of relief. Thanks, Christina, been working with your co-dependency and learning to be being yourself videos as well. Very helpful. 😊 Good journeys to everyone reading this, peace
