Self-Love Isn't Selfish with Alan Cohen

About this episode

Jennifer Hadley and Alan Cohen discuss the importance of self-love and self-care in the context of spiritual practice.

Spiritual students who who pour themselves out for everyone else, then feel a flicker of guilt the moment they pause to care for themselves. They say yes when they’re already running low. When they finally rest, a quiet voice calls it selfish. For anyone walking a spiritual path, the line between devotion and depletion blurs fast, and most of us were taught to honor the wrong side of it. Joined by author Alan Cohen, Jennifer Hadley turns to A Course in Miracles to question a belief so familiar that ACIM students rarely notice they're living by it.
