In Part 1, we explored the first ten subtle ways spiritual bypassing can show up in everyday life - often disguised as wisdom, strength, or even inner peace. But real emotional mastery isn’t about avoiding pain. It’s about being fully present with it, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Here are ten more ways you might be bypassing your emotional truth without realising it:

11. Judging others for being ‘low vibe’ instead of seeing your own projections

It’s easy to dismiss someone as negative, toxic...

Spiritual bypassing is often invisible on the surface. It disguises itself as maturity, grace, or wisdom. But underneath, it's often just avoidance dressed in spiritual language.

Many of us fall into it without realising. And while it might feel like protection, over time it erodes our emotional wellness and disconnects us from the real work of healing.

Here are the first ten subtle ways you might be spiritually bypassing in your day-to-day life:

1. Using “Everything happens for a reason” to ...

For years, the internet has been flooded with quick-fix manifestation techniques—affirmations, vision boards, scripting under the full moon. And yet, people still wonder: Why isn’t it working for me? The truth is, what you haven’t healed is blocking your manifestations—and 2025 is the year to stop bypassing the deep work.

Unhealed Trauma is Holding You Back

One of the biggest misconceptions about manifestation is that you can “think” your way into a new reality while ignoring the emotional bag...

Life often nudges us towards decisions we know we need to make, yet fear can hold us back. Whether it’s leaving a draining situation, starting something new, or setting a firm boundary, unresolved choices can weigh heavily on both the mind and body. What if making those bold decisions, even when they feel scary, is exactly what your nervous system needs to feel calm and balanced?

In this article, we’ll look at how stepping into the decisions you’ve been avoiding can ease tension in your mind an...

Many people turn to spiritual practices in times of emotional pain, hoping to find healing and peace. It’s a natural response—after all, spirituality offers comfort and connection to something greater than ourselves.

But does spiritual practice alone heal emotional wounds? Can meditation, prayer, chanting, or other sacred rituals replace the hard work of emotional healing?

This question often arises from the confusion between emotional intelligence (EQ) and spiritual intelligence (SQ). While ...

Just Let It Go’ Is Lip Service—Here’s the Truth About Real Healing

I’ve been on the spiritual growth and personal development path for over 25 years. Early on, I was convinced that “mind over matter” and positive thinking would lead me to a more enlightened state. Spoiler alert: they didn’t quite work out that way.

Sure, positive affirmations gave me a temporary lift, but they never touched the deeper traumas and unsettled feelings that kept bubbling up, no matter how many times I repeated, “...

Have you ever caught yourself reacting in a way that feels, well, outdated? Like you're using a map from 1995 to navigate today's world? That's what happens when old survival habits—those coping mechanisms that once helped us get through tough times—stick around longer than needed. They’re like the security blanket we can’t seem to ditch, even when it's way past its prime. Why do we hang on to these habits and, more importantly, how to let them go with a little grace?

Understanding Survival Hab...

 In recent years, I've often found myself pondering a curious question: Is emotional wellness something we inherit? The idea that our emotional state could be influenced by the experiences of our ancestors has become a fascinating and often discussed topic. While there’s no definitive scientific answer, the concept of emotional inheritance resonates deeply with many, especially those of us who have felt the invisible weight of generational struggles. Today, I want to explore this idea, consideri...

Healing is often misunderstood. It's not just about fixing what's broken; it's about making peace with our past, present, and future. As the quote by Stephanie Gailing states, "Healing is the end of conflict with yourself." This idea emphasises the importance of internal harmony.

Understanding Healing

Healing is a journey, not a destination. It involves understanding our emotions, accepting our flaws, and making a commitment to grow. Healing is not about erasing the past but learning to live ...

The Universal Touch of Trauma

Trauma is something that many of us face in life. It can be a small letdown or a big shock. The bigger the hurt, the tougher it can be to get close to others. This is extra hard for people who have deep emotional scars because they might find it hard to trust and open up to others.
