Excelenta prezentare ! by Teal Swan Spiritual bypassing (or whitewashing) is the act of using spiritual beliefs to avoid facing or healing ones painful feelings, unresolved wounds and unmet needs. It is a state of avoidance. Because it is a state of avoidance, it is a state of resistance. I personally, consider Spiritual bypassing to be the shadow side of spirituality. The spiritual beliefs of any spiritual tradition, be it Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, New Age, Islamic, or even Self Help, can provide ample justification for living in a state of inauthenticity. They can all provide justification for avoiding the unwanted aspects of ones own feelings and state of being in favor of what is considered to be a more enlightened state. In this episode, Teal Swan gives examples of spiritual bypassing and suggests ways that we can avoid doing it. youtube/watch?v=0ErlTinKrQw
