You can meditate for years, develop a deep understanding of yourself, and experience periods of profound inner clarity. Yet old patterns can still resurface when life becomes difficult. You may understand your anxiety without being able to let go of it. You may recognize your defense mechanisms and still react automatically when someone gets too…
You meditate, work on yourself and try to be more present. Yet you still get frustrated when anxiety, anger or restlessness returns.

Have you become more alone since spirituality began to play a bigger role in your life? Spiritual awakening and loneliness can sometimes go hand in hand.
