The Rise of the Aesthetic Healer
The problem isn’t beauty. Or success. Or well-lit imagery.
The problem is performance without depth.
(read that again.)
Curation without embodiment.
Magnetism without nervous system regulation.
Words without lived wisdom.
And when people come into your space expecting transformation and instead receive marketing, mimicry or energetically unsafe containers…
That’s spiritual harm.
Even if it’s unintentional.
Especially if it’s unacknowledged.
From Practice to Performance: When Spirituality Becomes a Show
If we’re not careful, we’ll keep offering spiritual spaces that look beautiful… but leave people starving.
We’ll give students just enough dopamine to come back, but not enough depth to transform.
We’ll attract followers… but we’ll stop forming practitioners.
And that is a betrayal of what this work is meant to do.
