The Crossroads of Spirituality and Trauma in Religious Practice

  • Summary

  • Have you ever felt ensnared by the thorny questions surrounding spirituality and organized religion? Together with my insightful guest Iya Ola, we venture into these sensitive zones, stripping away the confusion and confronting the pain of religious trauma. Our candid dialogue traverses personal narratives of struggle against restrictive church doctrines and journeys us toward a more expansive understanding of spirituality. We dissect the ancestral echoes in our dreams and the subtle distinctions between hoodoo and voodoo, challenging the stereotypes and guiding listeners to their awakening.

    Spirituality is no mere trend; it's a disciplined path that demands reverence and education. In our conversation, we address the recent upswing in spiritual practices and how they can be misused without proper understanding. From the potent energy of Moldavite crystals to the complex terrain of Voodoo and Hoodoo, Iya Ola and I traverse the importance of finding a trustworthy mentor and safeguarding your spiritual integrity. We share our transformative experiences and emphasize the need to approach these practices with the seriousness they deserve, protecting our spiritual well-being as fiercely as our physical safety.

    Closing our soul-stirring session, we touch upon the controversy and openness needed to explore spirituality. As we celebrate Hulu Heritage Month and hint at future discussions on revolutions and resistance, I encourage you to follow those who continue to enlighten my spiritual journey. This exchange is more than just talk; it's an invitation to embrace growth, authenticity, and the disciplined pursuit of enlightenment. Join us on this profound exploration of belief, practice, and what it means to connect with the essence of who we truly are.
