North Node: The Yoga & Astrology Podcast

Episode 50: What 'Spiritual Awakening' really means

Becky Clissett & Laura Clayton

Spiritual awakening isn’t all light and bliss — it’s often the moment life cracks us open. In this episode, we explore what it really means to awaken: the dissolving of old identities, the chaos that comes before clarity, and the deep remembrance of who you are beneath the conditioning.

Through the lenses of psychology, yoga philosophy, and astrology, we look at awakening as both a breakdown and breakthrough — a sacred initiation into deeper awareness. We’ll talk about how to navigate spiritual burnout, ego death, and the messy middle of transformation, while grounding yourself in compassion and embodiment.

Whether you’re in the midst of an awakening or supporting others through theirs, this episode invites you to see the beauty in unraveling — and to trust that every ending is also a beginning.
