The Way of Paradox: Finding God in the Contradiction—Where Pain Becomes a Portal
Ep. 48
This episode offers a reframe of our understanding of pain, struggle, and life’s contradictions by introducing a radical spiritual lens: The Way of Paradox. Through the tension of opposites — grief and love, fear and faith, surrender and striving — we uncover not only the path to healing but the very ground where God meets us.
Drawing inspiration from mystics like Meister Eckhart and depth psychologist Carl Jung, Hannah explores how true transformation doesn’t come from bypassing pain, but from walking through it — holding space for both light and dark. She shares a moving story from a funeral that sparked this reflection, and connects it with how Conversational Hypnosishelps us shift perspective, access the subconscious, and experience profound healing.
If you’ve ever felt trapped in your struggle or disillusioned by surface-level “fixes,” this conversation offers you something deeper: a doorway to the divine within the very contradiction you’re facing.
💡 Topics Covered:
The sacred paradox: why true growth often begins in tension
Why light is accessed through darkness — not in spite of it
The tension of opposites and its role in psychological/spiritual individuation
Meister Eckhart’s teaching: God is the ground where opposites meet
The spiritual trap of judging experiences as “good” or “bad”
How grief can become despair — or a doorway to grace
Carl Jung’s “third way” and what it means for your healing
The Cross as a cosmic paradox of death and transcendence
The power of subconscious work to reframe unsolvable problems
Real-life insights from a recent client session (and the surprising message Hannah received herself)
Why awareness of spiritual warfare is important — but fear doesn’t get the final say
🧘🏼♀️ If you're in the stretch…
If you’re in the middle of your own undoing, unraveling, or contradiction — this episode is here to offer illumination, not answers.
You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
And your healing might just begin in the paradox you're trying to avoid.
