The Spiritual Perspective
Ever wonder what the spiritual perspective is on genocide? On cheating? On getting back with your ex? On toxic people? If so, this is your channel. You identify as spiritual — but you’ve still got questions about how to show up in life’s messiest, most nuanced situations. And you don’t have time for fluffy, feel-good answers that don’t hold up in the real world. This is where you’ll find a grounded spiritual take on life’s hardest questions. I’m Light Watkins — keynote speaker, author, and longtime meditation teacher — and every week, I share short, no-BS videos that help you zoom out, tune in, and reframe what you’re going through. If you’re tired of surface-level advice and ready to go deeper, join me every Monday and Thursday for new episodes of The Spiritual Perspective. Your next breakthrough might be one perspective shift away.
