In Episode 57 of My Inner Knowing, hosts Theresa Hubbard and Walker Bird sit down with spiritual teacher and author Dr. Jonathan Ellerby for a thought-provoking discussion on spiritual intelligence and the journey to authenticity.
Ellerby reflects on his concept of the "spirit of the place," describing it as a presence or intelligence that connects us to something greater. He explores the challenges of reconciling Western cultural frameworks with indigenous spiritual traditions and how this dissonance shapes our understanding of spirituality.

Listeners will learn about the four dimensions of spiritual intelligence: intuition, energy awareness, connectedness, and spiritual surrender. Ellerby offers practical tools for deepening these aspects and highlights resources from notable teachers like Brené Brown, Michael Singer, and Byron Katie.

Personal stories from Ellerby’s own journey reveal his early connection with inner knowing and how societal conditioning can distort our spiritual gifts. He speaks to the modern sense of loss and longing for deeper connection, framing anxiety and depression as symptoms of a fragmented relationship with our inner lives.

The conversation ends with a heartfelt reminder to embrace authenticity in a world full of pressures: "The only thing you need to be is yourself."

Join Theresa, Walker, and Jonathan for this enriching exploration of spiritual connection, authenticity, and the wisdom of the soul.
