🎙️ Podcast Title

Beyond spiritual bypassing: Integrating Spirituality and the Body for best healing results

How One Therapist Moved From Non-Duality to Embodied Wholeness

🌟 Podcast Description

What happens when spiritual realization meets unresolved pain in the body? In this powerful and vulnerable episode, we explore the vital connection between spiritual practices and body-centered healing.

Shauna welcomes Ali, a seasoned therapist and coach with 20+ years of diverse experience, to unpack the limitations of purely spiritual approaches like non-duality when it comes to real, human suffering—and the transformational power of returning to the body.

Whether you’re on a spiritual path that’s left your body behind, or a healing journey that’s seeking deeper soul integration, this episode is your reminder: Healing and wholeness lives in the union of both.

👤 Meet Our Guest: Ali

Ali is a holistic therapist, cognitive hypnotherapist, breathwork facilitator, and meditation practitioner with over two decades of experience. Having trained in the Three Principles, non-duality and somatic practices, she brings a rare integration of mind, body, and spirit. Her own healing journey through anxiety, disconnection, and spiritual bypassing led her to the profound work of inner child reconnection and the embodied wisdom of the “incorr” method.

🧩 In This Episode, We Explore:

• Ali’s personal and professional journey from nutritional medicine to deep spiritual and body-based work
  
  
  
• The promises and blind spots of non-dual spiritual teachings
  
  
  
• Why body-based healing is essential, especially for those with trauma, anxiety, or emotional overwhelm
  
  
  
• How the body holds memory and why reconnection can be painful but necessary
  
  
  
• The importance of integrating spiritual insight with embodied presence
  
  
  
• The practitioner's role in meeting clients with nuance, safety, and individualized support
  
  
  
• How reconnecting with the body leads not away from spirituality, but deeper into it
  
  
  

💡 Reflection Questions for Listeners:

1. Have I used spiritual practices to avoid feeling discomfort or pain in my body?
   
   
   
2. What might shift if I brought loving attention to my body’s unmet needs?
   
   
   
3. How do I know when I’m bypassing—and what helps me return?
   
   
   

🧘🏽‍♀️ Final Word

There is no need to choose between your spirit and your body. In fact, your deepest healing may come when the two are in loving dialogue. Listen in and be reminded: your essence lives not above the body, but through it.

Are you a Therapist, Counsellor or Coach?

Are you passionate about helping your client find and heal the root cause of their suffering but find that they frequently get stuck in the therapeutic process ?

Does any of the following sound familiar ?

• Clients who have an inability to discuss or bring awareness of difficult emotions
• Clients who are stuck in story, often blaming others
• Clients who have an inability to access their emotional content due to the fear of nervous system activation, resulting in you fearing to re-traumatise your client
• An inability for your client to identify the source of their suffering, therefore feeling hopeless and leading to comorbidity.
• Clients who become stuck and fail to fully commit to the therapeutic process with frequent DNA’s

As therapists, we know the answer is to find the source of their suffering and that source is deep in the unexplored depths of past experiences. These unique experiences are locked into the body and mind.

The reality though, for most of our clients, is that being invited to the source of that pain is terrifying. For them, those depths are simply not a safe place to be and, as a result, the wonderful, benevolent tool - the mind, says ” No, we will NOT go there! “

When this happens, your client becomes stuck and therefore blocked from further therapeutic processing.

Facilitating our clients to safely & without re-traumatising, find the source of their suffering is vital to successfully complete their therapeutic process. We need a scaffolding process that safely facilitates the clients access and exploration of their wounded self.

In this episode, we'll be focusing on moving beyond the narratives and getting deeper into the embodied emotional experiences for your clients. You'll learn the four components of emotional shutdown and the roadmap for understanding why it is so difficult for our clients to move beyond 'story'.
