What's in the Way is the Way with Mary O'Malley
Manage episode 365797113 series 2996658
What if we could break free from the struggles and compulsions that keep us feeling disconnected from life? Join us as we explore the healing power of wonder and the art of showing up for life with Mary O'Malley, a highly regarded leader in the field of awakening and the author of several books, including What's In The Way Is The Way.
Mary shares her insights into the healing power of attention in overcoming pain and trauma, and her experiences with Stephen Levine, who opened her heart and taught her to bring curiosity and compassion to her pain. We discuss:
- why we're addicted to struggle and how trauma fuels our compulsions
- the two core wounds of abandonment and invasion
- the eight core spells that keep us feeling separate from life and how we can free ourselves from them with Mary's guidance
We dive into her book, What's In The Way Is The Way, and Mary teaches us how to use open-ended questions to create a space for transformation.
Don't miss this opportunity to learn from a master in the field of awakening and reconnect with the joy of being alive!
