04: A powerful Spiritual experience w/Layla Saad

Do you sometimes feel like you’re not as aligned with your spiritual practice as you’d like to be?

Through the centuries of colonialism, white supremacy and patriarchy, spirituality has been impacted in myriad ways, and today many ancient practices have been reduced from what they once were, labeled as wrong or bad, or tainted by the booming wellness industry.

The path to reclaiming and rediscovering a spirituality that feels truly authentic to us is a profound inner process of inquiry and decolonization.

In episode 4 of I’m Not Crazy, I’m Clairvoyant we dive into the layers we have to explore around Black spirituality and the colonization of modern Western spiritual practice, the inner work of liberation, the role of community

How spirituality was shaped historically to serve systems of oppression and the process of exploring what we actually believe versus what culture has taught us to believe is the norm
Why decolonizing our spirituality is decolonizing ourselves and the colonization of Black spirituality
The inner work we need to do in order to liberate ourselves from the legacy of fear and shame and judgment around Black spirituality
Coming into the right relationship within ourselves and with our community of Black and Brown sisters on the spiritual path
The role of rest and relaxation in emotional and spiritual growth and healing

“We have to think about what was meant by this spirituality in its inception versus what was it shaped to become in order to serve various different systems of oppression, and in the spirituality, I am practicing today, to what extent is this spiritual belief or this practice or this behavior really the roots of what I actually believe versus what comes to be known as the dogma or the reality of the spirituality.”
