17: How to Have an Abundance Money Mindset without Spiritual Bypassing

You can have an abundance mindset without glossing over real barriers in your life. Spiritual bypassing is what happens in spiritual communities when they overlook the systems and barriers a person faces. In this episode, you'll learn how to have a positive outlook on your money while addressing real barriers.

I prickle when people say "you do money mindset?!"

Wanna know why?

I'm not interested in being lumped in with other folks who regularly engage in harmful spiritual bypassing.

When people say "manifesting" and "abundance" but don't address the realities of mental health or systemic barriers, they erase the realities many folx experience.

Need a quick refresher on spiritual bypassing? It's been around a minute. It was defined in the 80s after people started to cherry-pick practices from yoga and Buddhism when they were sidestepping the realities of a person's experience. In other words, YOU and your mindset are the only things that are responsible for your outcome.

It might sound like:

• "You could stop being poor if you just had an abundance mindset and prayed harder."

• "People could end depression if they only ate nutrient-dense local organic foods."

• "Displaying anger is a sign of low vibrations; angry people need to meditate and do yoga."

Problematic, no?

In this Mind Money Podcast episode, I show you HOW to hold science and spirituality at the same time so you can harness positive psychology without engaging in harmful spiritual bypassing.
