Have you ever been afraid of the Other Side? Nervous around words like crystals, healing, and spirituality? Were you raised to think all things metaphysical were blasphemous or scary? Or simply didn't work? If so, you will find today's episode interesting, and hopefully, comforting. Inspired by an Other Side Guides listener (you guys are the best!), today we explore what gives spirituality a bad rap, how skepticism is taught, and why young children often gravitate toward healing modalities long before they are told not to. Why is it that fear of the unknown is natural for many, while others are intrigued?  We will also discuss ways to cleanse, clear, and meditate with your crystals... just as you can cleanse, clear, and meditate on your religious (or lack thereof) upbringing. So join us today, because Earth School is hard, but context brings clarity.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
