Episode 528. Unveiling Truths in Tantra, Self-Love, and Mentorship with Katie Silcox

Radically Loved with Rosie Acosta

This week Radically Loved welcomes Katie Silcox back to kick off 2024! Katie Slicox is author of the book 'Glow Worthy.' In this episode we discuss various topics including tantra, spiritual bypass, self-love, and the importance of mentors. Katie also guides a meditation practice. The conversation emphasizes the need for honesty, truth, and compassion in our spiritual journeys. We Talk About:

1. Tantra teaches that the very thing we want to avoid or run away from is often the key to our growth and healing.
2. Spiritual bypassing is the repression of difficult emotions and the tendency to intellectualize or spiritualize our experiences instead of fully feeling them.
3. Self-love is a journey that requires honesty, openness, and the ability to hold space for our own pain and imperfections.
4. Having a mentor or teacher who can mirror our strengths and weaknesses with compassion and wisdom is a powerful form of radical love.
