“I spent my time feeling very invisible very lonely and I probably carried the belief that I was a victim. I had this voice in my head, a poor me, and I guess I’ve had a bit of a martyr complex as well and I lived this. I’ve lived like this for such a long time I didn’t know a new story. I didn’t think there would ever be a new story for me “
– Kelly Martin
When we are going through a big leap from one way of known reality to a new reality we can experience something that can be termed the spiritual void.
In this podcast I talk about my own spiritual void and how it feels to be in the void and how to move through it.
If you want to embrace what arises when in this sometimes dark place, also sometimes labelled ‘The Dark Night Of The Soul’ this podcast is for you. And for a more deeper look into the spiritual void read my other blog post ‘Feeling Lost In The Spiritual Void’ Here
Highlights from the episode:
- Seeing the possibility of the ‘new’ but not knowing how it will all happen
- Some of the symptoms of the spiritual void
- Why your not going backward even if it feels that way
- How mindfulness can help you travel through this strange time

“The mind and the ego doesn’t like simple the mind like is complicated the ego really likes know what’s going to happen and because of this it tries to control the spiritual void ”
“Just allow the void to be, feel blessed that you’re actually experiencing change and this is how it happens you just need to look at nature and see that nature can experience voids, but it doesn’t attach itself to what’s happening. Right now you’ve planted new seeds for your new life and those new seeds are in the ground and it’s dark in the ground, your seeds don’t know that they’re going to become a beautiful flower or tree they’re just there allowing the creativity and the creation to take place until they’re ready to burst through ”
“It’s like when you see a goldfish and it’s in a very small pond, you’ve been in that small pond for a long time and now you’re leaping into the larger pond, a larger pond of life. Now that small pond it felt very comfortablem but when you move into the bigger pond there’s a lot more water there’s a lot more to see ”
