As a nihilistic form of spirituality becomes prevalent on youtube I'm ever more grateful that Adya was my introduction to awakening...watching him do Q and A's taught me inquiry in such an intimate, alive way that serves me to this day. And Loch's tactile glimpse pointers are a great compliment to that to get somatically oriented to what has been awakened to. The arising of say an unexpected bit of anxiety can be "spiritually zapped" or it can be like the prize in the cracker jack box saying "look here!" Just today I used Loch's series of shifts to get space around something that was arising until it was no longer a bother and could have easily stopped there and went on with my day but I inquired into it and had an absolutely amazing journey with it from childhood to right now. Can't thank these guys enough for these incredible tools. 🙏🙏🙏

This distinction, and the interweaving nature of the therapeutic and the spiritual is so important. It's the first time I hear this is explicitly mentioned and explored. As a therapist I (try to) navigate this on a daily basis with my clients. I am really happy with your exchange of views. Would love to explore further. Thank you both so much.

Loch is the Nipsey Russell of spiritual teaching

Beautiful conversation, thank you. Addressing those aspects of self that have been marginalized and welcoming them back home is key to awakening. Trying to step over or ignore what's already been dismissed or put in shadow simply adds further pain to those aspects of psyche that are often very young, even pre-verbal and pre-cognitive, parts. I started my conscious investigation into spirituality with The Power of Now and then discovered another well-known spritual teacher to whom I devoted 8 years. These 8 years brought many insights, shifts and recognitions/glimpses of my deeper nature, but at the same time I further pushed my ego into very painful places in order to do away with it completely. It got to a point that I was asked to leave the community and get some counselling. This started me on a more healthy path to slowly build my fragile ego, bring self-compassion and empathy to my personal self and realise that all of me is Divine, as are all parts of everyone. The body has to be included in awakening. We are in a body for a reason. And, the old emphasis on pure awareness at the cost of our humanity, as though it wasn't Divine, is extremely damaging and wrong-minded. Embodied Inclusion 🙏💞

So true and vital
If consciousness is all is love harming and neglecting this wonderful vessel we were gifted by life would be the utmost hybris- in my eyes
It’s the human seeking to be God, when God is in all humanity of us - we are both-
I’m so glad you found your way
