The Missing Piece to Spiritual Awakening No One Talks About
Today, I’m joined by Jonathan Prendergast, a psychotherapist and spiritual teacher whose journey bridges psychology and mysticism. Jonathan’s new book, A Guide to Embodied Spirituality: Your Deepest Ground, reveals how to anchor divine awareness in your body, heal lifelong conditioning, and reclaim self-trust. We dive into his 50-year journey—from early mystical experiences to studying with Jean Klein—and why the ‘ground’ of our being is the foundation of true freedom. If you’re ready to move beyond spiritual bypassing and embody your essence, hit play. 00:00 Introduction03:15 Jonathan’s Early Mystical Experiences (Hypnogogic States)08:30 TM Meditation & Awakening Expansive Awareness15:10 Meeting Jean Klein 21:48 The Role of Self-Trust vs. Doubt28:20 Grounding: The Key to Spiritual Maturity34:00 Trauma, Safety, & the Pelvic Bowl’s Spiritual Significance40:10 Jung’s Mysticism 45:00 Embodiment: From Transcendent States to Daily Life48:30 Honesty & Vulnerability as Spiritual Practice50:00 ClosingLEARN MORE ABOUT JONATHAN PRENDERGAST 📖 Books: A Guide to Embodied Spirituality | The Deep Heart 🌐 Website: listeningfromsilence.com 🧘 Retreats: Upcoming workshops & residential retreats JOIN MY COMMUNITY In The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings (not offered anywhere else!), discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.

The Stories Nobody Dares to Tell
In this episode, I sit down with Dina Gachman to explore her experience of profound loss after the deaths of her mother and sister. We discuss how grief reshaped her life and inspired her memoir, "So Sorry for Your Loss." Dina shares the realities of grieving two very different losses—one anticipated, one sudden—and how rituals, family connections, spirituality, and even food played a role in her healing journey. We also talk about cultural differences around death, the comfort of shared memories, and ways to support others through mourning. Join us as we navigate the challenges of grief, the questions it raises, and the importance of community and self-compassion. Visit our podcast page for resources, Dina’s work, and more on integrating loss into everyday life.TIMESTAMPED OVERVIEW 0:00 – Welcoming Dina: Introducing Grief, Loss, and Intuition1:45 – Dina’s Journey into Grief Writing4:13 – Comparing Anticipated Versus Sudden Loss8:02 – Navigating Returning Waves of Grief10:28 – Managing Anniversaries and Grief Avalanches13:53 – Finding Meaning in Rituals and Everyday Connections17:10 – The Comfort and Connection of Food During Grief23:23 – Collective Family Grief and Changing Relationships25:06 – Spirituality, Synchronicity, and Signs from Loved Ones33:26 – “So Sorry for Your Loss”37:00 – Dina’s Continuing Work and Closing Reflections Dina Gachman: https://www.dinagachmanwrites.com/IG: dgachmanhttps://bsky.app/profile/dgachman.bsky.socialIn The Space Between membership, you’ll get access to LIVE quarterly Ask Amy Anything meetings, discounts on courses, special giveaways, and a place to connect with Amy and other like-minded people.
