Dark Night of the Soul: What It Really Means & How to Spiritually Overcome It

Dark Night of the Soul: What It Really Means & How to Spiritually Overcome It

Listen or watch

There are moments on the spiritual path that can feel like total darkness. Your faith is tested, your motivation disappears, and your mind is filled with doubt. This is known as the dark night of the soul, and in episode 464 of the Soul Elevation Podcast, I share insights on how to recognize it and a powerful, time-tested tool to navigate it: Psalm 23.

Many lightworkers are currently facing intense spiritual challenges. These trials often coincide with major shifts in global consciousness. Energetic attacks, feelings of worthlessness, or a lack of motivation may not actually be your own thoughts—they may be infiltrations from lower vibrational forces. It’s vital that we recognize the signs and respond from our highest alignment.

In this episode, I dive deep into:

  • What the dark night of the soul looks and feels like

  • How negative entities can influence thoughts and behavior

  • Why keeping up your spiritual practices (like meditation and nature connection) is crucial—even when you don’t feel like it

  • A powerful personal dream experience involving an exorcism and Psalm 23

  • The sacred authority of invoking Jesus Christ/Yeshua to reclaim sovereignty and spiritual strength

Whether you're in a dark place or want to protect your energy, Psalm 23 is a divinely encoded prayer that clears your field, realigns your soul, and strengthens your light.

✨ Psalm 23 (King James Version)

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Read or speak this passage out loud with conviction and command, especially if you feel spiritually vulnerable or under attack.
