In this episode of The Illuminated Woman, we explore a profound shift in how we approach our spiritual practices—moving from rigid discipline to heart-centered devotion. While discipline provides structure and accountability, devotion brings love, reverence, and soul-deep connection to our daily rituals.

So many of us have been conditioned to value discipline, but what happens when it becomes mechanical, draining, or disconnected from our hearts? What if, instead of forcing ourselves to “stick to the plan,” we allowed devotion to lead the way?

Join me as we unravel the balance between these two energies—masculine discipline and feminine devotion—and learn how to cultivate a spiritual practice that feels alive, nourishing, and deeply connected to God.

In this episode we explore:

• The key differences between discipline and devotion in spiritual practice
• How discipline can become rigid, mechanical, and disconnected from the heart
• Why devotion is infused with reverence, love, and desire—and how to cultivate it
• The balance of masculine (structure) and feminine (flow) energies in spiritual practice
• How to transform routines into meaningful rituals
• Practical ways to shift from obligation to devotion in daily life

Be sure to listen to the end for some reflection questions you can journal on.
