You are going to have to focus on understanding and unlearning your beliefs and attachments–aka your ego. Yes, you can live with your family and be spiritual. They will be great mirrors for your ego beliefs and attachments as they will have many of the same issues you have.

I went through spiritual awakening, kundalini awakening also. And still in my initial months. I am married with a lovely husband and kid. And have a very huge family members. Now going through this, and all the thoughts of leaving everything, or what will I say to my family and friends. Like it’s a huge family. Cant I live in a family life and still be spiritual? Normally we being hearing how people leave family life and go to living separately. May be these thoughts are there since I am still in my early stages, like 2 months?. And everything happening together. Also I am from india, and come from a traditional family. We wear toe rings, like a mangalsutra sign of marriage, and many other rituals. Now I am not able to wear anything. I dont feel like and my energy the shakti doesnt let me wear for now. Like it triggers. So if you have any comments or have any suggestions?
Thank you so much.

Don't lose sight of the importance of process and temporary steps. We go through certain steps that are important at one point, but not later on. Sometimes, people try to jump over key steps in their spiritual development. It's like watching a dance video and expecting your body to immediately be a professional dancer now.

So I encourage you to pay attention to your process and do what is needed now to help you face your attachments and let each one go.

Thanks for the comment.

I struggle with the sheer volume of mental chatter. I attempt to be present to all my felt experiences (sounds, tastes, smells, sensations, thoughts), but I find the majority of my awareness is focused on the thoughts, the ego. I get parts of my day when this awareness is from the perspective of the observer and the illusion of the ego falls away – this is peaceful. However I struggle to make the leap from not just understanding intellectually that my ego is all a mirage, but to truly feel it outside of those glimpses as the observer throughout the day. The perpetual irony is that it is my ego that seeks this 'enlightenment'…which can never really work.
