Today we’re showing our age by speaking about a concept from the book,  The Seat of the Soul,  that was written 25 years ago by physicist and author Gary Zukav&nbsp;that&nbsp;was just re-released. In this book,&nbsp;Gary describes the difference between what he calls the vertical path, or the path of the spirit, and the horizontal path,  the path of form,&nbsp;and how where we choose to put our attention and energy can impact our lives. We thought this would be a fun and relevant conversation as so many of us, even on a spiritual path, still can get hung up on the horizontal&nbsp;“realm”&nbsp;looking a certain way. We also bring in wisdom from Eckhart Tolle’s book,  A New Earth,&nbsp;as well as personal examples of how we began to view life through the lens of the Soul, rather than the Ego.&nbsp; &nbsp;  Find our more information about us and Bliss + Grit at www.blissandgrit.com

Ep 113: Taking the Vertical Path

Today we are having a conversation with Lynn Marie Lumiere, a psychotherapist and the author of the book Awakened Relating: A Guide to Embodying Undivided Love in Intimate Relationships.  Reading from the description of Lynn Marie’s book: Our natural state is to love and be loved. From deep within, we’re compelled to seek connection. Yet relationships remain a struggle—even for the most spiritually enlightened among us. Traumatic experiences, insecure attachment, and especially the false but commonly held belief that we are separate, both from each other and from the love we seek, can cause endless problems in  our  relationships. As long as our connections are built on this untruth, lasting love and harmony in relationship will elude us. In our conversation with Lynn Marie,we greatly enjoy shedding some light on how being able to contact the experience of awake awareness, or unity consciousness can take us way beyond the endless compromise push-pull game of the separate self, and the ways that“consciousrelationship” continue to keep us limited and constricted.
