What does it mean to surrender—not just in theory, but in your body?

Katie Silcox is back for an intimate and expansive conversation where we explore the intersections of shadow work, yoga, energy practices, and the divine. We talk about the emotional courage it takes to let go, the healing potential of the word God, and how to distinguish between meditation and prayer in a way that supports your spiritual evolution.

You'll learn:

🔹 Why shadow work is more about integration than excavation

🔹 The difference between vertical and horizontal energy flow

🔹 How to ground yourself for deeper emotional intelligence and energy work

🔹 What it means to surrender to a benevolent universe

🔹 The distinct but complementary roles of meditation and prayer

If you're longing for connection—to self, to Source, and to the real sensations of spirit moving through your life—this episode is for you.
