Episode 9- Kabbalistic Psychology & The Tree Within

Welcome back to Awakening the Spiritual Mind — a podcast by Elisabeth Carrio, author, transpersonal coach, and explorer of consciousness. In this episode, we explore Kabbalistic Psychology and the Tree of Life — not as a mystical theory, but as a living map of inner balance. The Tree reflects how energy moves within us — between giving and receiving, intuition and structure, expansion and grounding. Each Sephirah represents a quality of consciousness: compassion (Chesed), discipline (Gevurah), beauty (Tipheret), and more — dynamic forces that, when harmonized, bring us back to wholeness. ✨ “The Tree doesn’t ask for perfection — it invites balance. A constant tuning between heaven and earth, love and truth.” In this episode you’ll discover: The Tree of Life as a psychological map of your inner architecture: How the three pillars (right, left, center) mirror your energy and behavior; The deeper meaning of Da’at — when knowledge becomes embodied wisdom; The Qliphoth as distortions of divine qualities — love without boundaries, discipline without compassion- A guided micro-practice to restore inner harmony 👉 Go further: Download your free Awakening Journal — your reflective companion for each episode: [https://elisabeth-carrio.com/books-publications/book-awakening-your-spiritual-mind/] My book Awakening the Spiritual Mind: A Guide to Finding Meaning and Purpose in Modern Times will be released in December 2026. 💫 Connect & Share-If this episode brought you clarity, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone exploring the bridge between psychology and spirituality.

Episode 7 — You Are Not Just One Self

In this episode, we explore a fundamental insight: we are not a single, fixed identity, but a constellation of inner voices. Some of these parts support us, others protect us, and some quietly shape our behavior from the background. Through a reading from Chapter 4 of Awakening the Spiritual Mind and a reflective commentary, I invite you to reconsider what you call “yourself.” What if your inner conflicts were not signs of weakness, but expressions of a deeper complexity? Drawing on approaches such as Voice Dialogue and Internal Family Systems, this episode offers a different perspective: we are not broken — we are layered. Integration begins not by eliminating parts of ourselves, but by learning to listen to them. You’ll also be guided through a short practice to connect with your inner voices, and a journal prompt to deepen your awareness. This episode is an invitation to move from fragmentation to coherence, and to reconnect with the calm, curious presence at the center of who you are.
