You don't have to be some special kind of person or particularly trained or in any way qualified or to merit a mystical experience.
It's also bypassing that whole idea that you have to be pure and perfect and have arrived at some state of awakening in order to be granted access to that numinous reality that is yours for the receiving.
We all have them.
And I'm interested in how do we cultivate that garden so that we get to harvest more and more of them.
So, so many people walk through life just living in a state of perpetual grayness, kind of waiting for the big moments, the sacred, the mystical occasions to just magically appear and change everything.
It turns out those moments, they're actually and rarely ever big.
Nor do we have to wait.
They're tiny, they're ordinary.
And I, they're there for the taking all day, every day, when we understand how to welcome moments of ordinary mysticism into our lives.
Even if you're a practical, non woo woo curmudgeon, you can connect with a deep sense of wonder.
So the question is how?
And that is where we're headed.
With today's guest, Mirabai star, an award winning author, internationally acclaimed speaker, and interspiritual teacher.
Drawing from over 20 years teaching, being professor of philosophy and world religions, and a lifetime of contemplative practice, Mirabai shares wisdom on really living a spiritually awakened life grounded in the mystical traditions and her latest book titled Ordinary Mysticism.
Your life as sacred ground takes these moments into our everyday lives.
In this conversation, Mirabai really demystifies the notion of mysticism, inviting us to recognize the mystical essence just pulsing through every aspect of our daily lives.
And we explore how simple practices accessible to all can open us to profound experiences of interconnection and wonder.
Amirbai shares how grief and suffering can become almost portals to an expanded capacity for love and radical amazement at the beauty embedded in our very existence.
So whether you follow a spiritual or religious path, or simply seeking more presence and aliveness, this conversation will inspire you to embrace the sacred dimensions of our ordinary reality.
So excited to share this conversation with you.
