If you’re a human being at any place in life’s journey, you’ll certainly need some degree of inner work. Without ongoing inner work, we can fall into many traps on the spiritual path causing lopsided growth that results in issues such as spiritual bypassing, nihilism, spiritual narcissism, spiritual materialism, toxic positivity, and other psychospiritual issues that cause suffering to both ourselves and other people. While inner work still operates within the domain of the ego (unlike Soul work which takes us beyond the separate sense of self), it is an extremely important and crucial part of the spiritual path because it helps to create more psychological balance and harmony. And like cleaning a dirty mirror, inner work helps us to find more inner clarity, self-love, wholeness, and happiness. Like weeding an overgrown garden, inner work creates more inner space by helping us to uproot the old conditioned beliefs, stories, dogmas, and wounds that become embedded within us. Inner work helps to clear out the fog, cobwebs, and blockages that fill our minds, hearts, and bodies, permitting the Light of Consciousness to gradually shine brighter and brighter. Without the inner space that is created through inner work, it can be extremely difficult to get to a point of receptivity, humility, and openness to deeply resting in Spirit as our True Nature. In this sense, inner work is the active or yang part of our spiritual path, and Soul work is the yin or passive part of our spiritual journeys. While Soul work is about listening to your Soul’s calling to surrender to Spirit, inner work is about making the space for that to happen.

Inner work and Soul work fit together like the yin and yang, both equally enriching our spiritual journeys and working side-by-side harmoniously.
