A quote by John Welwood
Spiritual bypassing means whitewashing uncomfortable realities with spiritual concepts. Instead of feeling difficult emotions, they're meditated away. Instead of addressing conflicts, they're "transformed." Instead of integrating shadows, they're denied.
The Dark Side of Lightwork
Intense spiritual experiences can often reinforce the feeling that we are not good enough if we can’t recreate these feelings on our own. Spontaneous awakenings often create gaps between our daily lives and the feeling we had during the mystical experience.

Lack of emotional Intimacy
Individuals with non-integrated shadows can appear guarded, especially in friendships and romantic relationships. For the partner, it may seem that it is nearly impossible to get past a certain level in knowing them. It begins to appear that the relationship is lacking depth, and may begin to dissolve the bond.
