A deep and honest conversation about what happens when your identity dissolves, and how awakening isn’t what most people think.In this episode of A New Way of Being, Simon speaks with spiritual teacher Lisa Cairns about the raw and real experience of spiritual awakening.Lisa shares how a spontaneous shift in Bali completely changed her perception of reality — dissolving her sense of self, shaking her identity, and opening her to a sense of vast, loving awareness. Far from being a blissed-out fairytale, her journey included disorientation, vulnerability, and deep questioning.This conversation explores: What spiritual awakening actually looks and feels like Why awakening doesn’t make life easier — but can make it more honest The illusions we live by and what happens when they fall away How to navigate the loss of identity with self-awareness and care Why freedom is always available — even in the messThis is a challenging and inspiring listen that cuts through spiritual clichés and gets to the heart of what it means to wake up.I offer 1:1 flow and inner alignment coaching — book a free consultation here: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/find-your-flow-intro-chatAnd my free online course on moving from burnout to flow is here: https://www.simonmundie.com/restore-balance-mini-courseMy other links:Book: https://www.simonmundie.com/bookYouTube: https://tinyurl.com/YouTubeSimonMundieWebsite: simonmundie.comSubstack Newsletter: https://simonmundie.substack.com/Lisa Cairns website: https://www.lisacairns.com/ Hosted on Acast.
