Setbacks and the Dark Night of the Soul

Have you experienced the dark night of the soul? I know I have.

It can happen to any spiritual seeker: the feeling of being disconnected from Source or God or your own soul, and questioning everything on your spiritual awakening journey.

It’s a hard thing to go through, and it seems to be a rite of passage that all must face.

In this episode of Soul Elevation with Kara Goodwin, we explore why faith gets tested, why connection fluctuates in our dynamic energetic environment, and how setbacks are often the doorway to deeper embodiment.

If you’ve experienced a dry season, felt spiritually disconnected, or wondered if you’ve lost your path, know that you are not alone.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR:
- What the dark night of the soul really is and why it’s (unfortunately) a normal part of the spiritual journey
- Why feeling disconnected from Source doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong
- How setbacks, ego death, and shadow work initiate deeper spiritual growth
- Grounded practices to keep moving forward when faith feels thin and energy feels flat

Be sure to check out my most recent episode, featuring Rupert Isaacson. He shares openly about his near death experience and what he learned from it, as well as fascinating insights about shamanism, deep spiritual and energetic healing, the secret nature of reality, and so much more. This is the type of content that can lift your spirits and widen your aperture to see beyond the shadow that might be cast upon you if you are in a dark night: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpcV709NTeU
