Through the Dark Night: The Unraveling That Reconnects You | The Attachment & Identity Series
Ep. 40
In this soulful solo episode, We unpack the mystical meaning behind the “Dark Night of the Soul.” Far beyond the pop psychology trend or secular interpretation, this is a spiritual rite of passage—a sacred corridor of detachment, purification, and divine transformation.
Drawing from the original writings of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila, Hannah invites you into the deeper purpose of spiritual suffering: not punishment, but preparation for divine union.
You’ll hear about:
The difference between spiritual shadow and psychological discomfort
Why the absence of light may actually be God drawing closest
The two stages of the Dark Night: of the senses and of the spirit
The power of trust, surrender, and mystic rebirth
Why intellect and effort can’t carry you through—but presence can
The connection between attachments, avoidance, and awakening
This is an episode for the seekers. For those who can’t go back to how things were. For those who feel the tug of something deeper but can’t quite name it.
You’ll leave with reverence for your own inner process and the invitation to soften, trust, and allow the transformation to unfold.
✨ Reflection Prompt:
What if the darkness you’re facing is not failure—but an invitation? What if God is not far—but closer than your breath, obscuring the sun with His shadow?
📖 Resources Mentioned:
