Part 5/8:

Suzanne addresses common myths around spiritual awakenings, dissuading the belief that significant life events or extraordinary experiences are prerequisites for spiritual connections. She emphasizes that spirituality can be fostered through introspection, mindfulness, and education rather than only relying on dramatic life changes or external validation.

Mindfulness in Practice

An important aspect of mindfulness, according to Suzanne, is the discomfort that often accompanies it. She compares it to enduring a cold plunge or running, where the initial experience isn't pleasant—but the benefits are evident afterward. She relates this to the struggles people face when learning to sit with their feelings, a crucial step in developing mindfulness.
