info_outlineShadow work and why you can't see your own blind spots may reveal why the same emotional patterns keep repeating, even after years of inner work. In this episode of Awaken Your Authentic Self, host Jessica Rooks sits down with spiritual teacher, Vedic astrologer, Enneagram practitioner, and author Indra Rinzler to explore the hidden aspects of ourselves we struggle to see - and how recognizing them opens the door to deeper self-awareness and spiritual awakening.
What if the very thing you cannot see about yourself is the key to understanding who you truly are?
With more than 50 years on the spiritual path, including decades as a disciple of Paramahansa Yogananda, Indra has developed a unique approach through Vedic Astrology, the Enneagram, and his Celestial Enneagram system. His work brings together ancient wisdom and personality insights to illuminate the patterns, conditioning, and blind spots shaping our lives. He is the author of Indra's Net: A Seeker's Guide to the Human Experience.
In this conversation, Jessica and Indra explore interconnectedness through Indra's Net, the role of shadow work in spiritual awakening, and the Wheel of Totality - a framework for examining parts of ourselves that may remain hidden for decades.
In This Conversation, You'll Discover:
✨Why shadow work reveals the blind spots behind recurring emotional and relationship patterns
✨How Vedic Astrology and the Enneagram offer different perspectives on personality and conditioning
✨What the Wheel of Totality reveals about parts of ourselves we may not recognize until later in life
✨Why vulnerability and honest self-examination become doorways to authentic transformation
This conversation is for anyone navigating spiritual awakening, subconscious healing, self-discovery, or the frustration of doing the inner work and still feeling something is missing.
Sometimes the next step isn't learning something new. It's finally seeing what you couldn't see before.
