EPISODE #200: FROM THE QUIET CENTER: MINDFULNESS, FORGIVENESS, & THE DREAM OF EXILE WITH CRISTINA SCHMALISCH
We’re home in God, dreaming of exile. That one line could undo a lifetime of spiritual confusion.
In this episode, I’m joined by Cristina Sorrentino Schmalisch, Mindfulness Coach and Psychological Counselor. Cristina promotes acting locally through cultivating personal peace, which has global effects through our joined consciousness.
Cristina has been a student of A Course in Miracles since 2012 and writes a blog inspired by the Course, Living from the Quiet Center. In her professional roles, she helps people understand the power of the mind and connect with the calm center found at our core.
After years in psychology, social work, yoga, and a winding spiritual search, Gary Renard’s The Disappearance of the Universe opened the door to the Course. The conversation goes from practice to the places most spiritual talk won’t touch.
We talk about:
How the Course found her, and why it is a hard path that still feels like recognition.
Non-judgment and why healing work only works when you stop doing it alone.
Level confusion: the difference between the New Age “we are powerful beings here” and being home in God while dreaming of exile.
The death of her dog, Wall-E, the holy instant, and what she calls the great missing: grief as a doorway back to oneness.
This is a tender, honest look at forgiveness, death, and learning to live with a dual awareness at once: the world of form, and the love that has never gone.
