The Spiritual Perspective
Ever wonder what the spiritual perspective is on genocide? On cheating? On getting back with your ex? On toxic people?
If so, this is your channel.
You identify as spiritual — but you’ve still got questions about how to show up in life’s messiest, most nuanced situations.
And you don’t have time for fluffy, feel-good answers that don’t hold up in the real world.
This is where you’ll find a grounded spiritual take on life’s hardest questions.
I’m Light Watkins — keynote speaker, author, and longtime meditation teacher — and every week, I share short, no-BS videos that help you zoom out, tune in, and reframe what you’re going through.
If you’re tired of surface-level advice and ready to go deeper, join me every Monday and Thursday for new episodes of The Spiritual Perspective.
Your next breakthrough might be one perspective shift away.
The Spiritual Perspective
The Dark Side of Spiritual Growth
Why does life still feel hard... even when you're doing all the “right” things?
You’re meditating. You’re journaling. You’re doing the therapy.
And yet—something still feels off. Like you’re carrying tension you can’t shake. Or like you’ve hit a spiritual plateau.
In this episode of The Spiritual Perspective, we take a brutally honest look at the version of “ease” that most of us have been taught to chase—especially in the spiritual and self-improvement space. You’ll hear how chasing the wrong kind of ease can leave you stuck in a beautiful prison of comfort, achievement, or optimization… without ever actually feeling free.
We’ll talk about why so many people, even the spiritually committed, stay restless or burnt out—and the shift that quietly transforms your inner work into a real-life superpower.
This is not about meditating more.
It’s not about manifesting harder.
It’s about something most people never do—especially not consistently.
If your life still feels heavy in ways you can’t explain, this episode might just be the mirror you didn’t know you needed.
