Spiritual Aesthetics vs. True Healing: Author Challenges Modern Spirituality Trend

The allure of 'spiritual aesthetics' has become a prominent trend in recent years, often associated with practices like sound baths and crystal healing. However, Maggie May, a three-time published author with a large online following, challenges this trend. In a recent video, she argues that true healing is not about superficial practices but about confronting personal issues and taking responsibility for one's actions. "Spiritual aesthetics aren't healing you; accountability will," she states. May, who has been working in this field for over 20 years, says she's seen a pattern where people use these practices as a way to avoid dealing with their problems. She emphasizes the importance of having hard conversations and showing up for those who have supported you, even during difficult times. Her message resonates with many who feel disillusioned by the often-superficial nature of online spirituality.
