Going Deeper: The Spiritual Practice That Actually Changes You | Aligned & Abundant Ep. 62

Send us Fan Mail

Can I ask you something kind of uncomfortable? When was the last time your spiritual practice actually challenged you — not just soothed you, but cracked something open? In this episode, Christine gets real about the moment she realized her own practice had become another item on the checklist, and what she did to bring it back to life.

This one will shift how you think about ritual, structure, and what it actually means to go deeper — not harder, not longer, just more present.

What you'll hear in this episode:

• Why your spiritual practice can quietly become autopilot — and how to tell if yours has
• The difference between a practice that soothes you and one that actually transforms you
• Three real shifts that took Christine's own practice from routine to genuinely deep
• Why sitting with discomfort (instead of redirecting from it) is where the real growth happens
• How to bring a real question into meditation or journaling — and actually let it change you
• Why structure isn't a cage when it's built to serve your soul, not control it
• A personal story about the season everything was shifting, and what stayed steady

Mentioned in this episode:

• Reiki, breathwork, and EFT as examples of evolving practice forms
• Christine's The Soul Shine Collective (Aligned & Abundant tiers)

If you've been circling the same practice for a while and it's stopped lighting you up, this episode is your permission to let it evolve. Soul alignment isn't static — it grows exactly the way you do.
