Q&A | S04.E04
In this episode, Rebecca unpacks one of the most overlooked parts of spiritual growth: the descent before the ascent. She explains why shadow work, ego death, and ascension symptoms are not signs of failure but essential stages of our evolution. Rebecca shares how to recognize and move through these intense phases with compassion, practical tools, and divine support, reminding us that the messy middle is what prepares us for expansion into our truest, most radiant selves.
Key Points:
The descent is sacred — True ascension requires facing our shadows, not bypassing them.
Shadow work = soul work — Repressed emotions and old beliefs must be integrated, not denied, for authentic wholeness.
Ascension symptoms are real — Physical, emotional, and energetic shifts (like fatigue, mood swings, or strange dreams) often signal spiritual expansion.
Ego death feels intense but leads to rebirth — Shedding outdated identities and roles opens the doorway to higher consciousness.
Grounding practices help — Tools like barefoot grounding, breathwork, EFT tapping, affirmations, hydration, and play support the process.
