Deepak Chopra Instagram – #AskDeepak My Response: I suspect the changes you felt in your ego from your practice of meditation and yoga were real. I don’t think the resurgence of anger and jealousy is really a relapse as much as it is an uncovering of a new, deeper layer of emotional conditioning that your spiritual practices have revealed so that it can be dissolved and healed. This is often the cycle of spiritual evolution; we clear a certain layer of conditioning and then experience a consequent expansive state of awareness that may feel so good that we think we are finished. With the exposure of this deeper, rawer, and sometimes more intense feeling/behavior, we may feel we have regressed to our former reactive ego self. Instead, it means we are working on the next stage of awakening, which is bringing us ever closer to our unlimited, unconditioned self. Love, Deepak
