- The twelfth episode of our new podcast series – “Our Spiritual Heart” is now available! Listen to “Fork in the Road” using the player below or on Spotify! Co-hosted by Kelsey Anderson and Kathy Grant, psychologist Ed Rubenstein, Ph.D. will be discussing, among other topics, the crucial choice point that we may encounter along our journey of true spiritual growth. In seeking to experience of our deepest happiness and fulfillment in life, will we choose mind over heart or heart over mind….and why?
We are spiritual beings going through a human experience
In Ed’s role as a Ph.D. level psychologist, he spent many years diligently teaching numerous mind-body interventions and mind-based meditation approaches in a variety of clinical settings; and as he discusses, he was very committed to sharing these approaches. However, nearly 25 years ago, he realized through his own heart-felt experiences that these mind-based methods were limited and that our heart was the missing ingredient to address and access the spiritual dimension of our lives. In this episode, Dr. Ed discusses the “fork in the road,” sharing that the two crucial choice points we face are:
- In order to spiritually evolve, are we going to continue relying on the use of our mind to become a more perfect being?
- In order to spiritually evolve, are we going to rely on our heart’s connection to True Source, the Source of of Unconditional Love and the source of who we really are? When the heart is our doorway, we can have a deeper spiritual connection and profound experiential relationship with our Creator.
