The Spiritual Perspective
Have you ever faced a challenging situation—in your relationships, finances, personal growth, or family life—where the next step seemed impossible to figure out?
As Einstein wisely noted, we can't solve problems from the same level of consciousness that created them. To find meaningful solutions, we must expand our awareness. This is where The Spiritual Perspective comes in.
From Light Watkins—meditation teacher, bestselling author, and spiritual mentor—comes a fresh approach to life's everyday challenges. Each Monday, Light offers a broader understanding of common dilemmas that often leave us feeling stuck.
We often make choices based on society's definition of success while ignoring our heart's deeper guidance. The Spiritual Perspective helps you see your challenges from a higher vantage point, empowering you to make choices that are truly aligned with your spiritual nature.
This weekly series offers fresh insights on topical issues, practical ways to tune into your intuition, and guidance for making spiritually-aligned choices.
Join Light every Monday for a new way of looking at old problems—one that will inspire you to trust and follow your inner guidance.
