The Shaman Stories Podcast

In this episode of the Shaman Stories Podcast, I sit down with Cynthia Abulafia—author, yoga therapist, and teacher of non-dual tantric traditions—to explore the deeper layers of spiritual awakening, embodiment, and the forgotten wisdom of the divine feminine.We dive into how modern yoga has become disconnected from its roots, the power of sacred texts, and how ancient traditions—especially tantric goddess lineages—hold keys to understanding the subtle body, chakras, and energetic awakening.Cynthia shares her personal journey from Western-style yoga into profound spiritual experiences, including Kundalini awakenings, and how she found language and grounding through ancient teachings that have largely been lost or suppressed over time.This conversation challenges the idea of spirituality as purely transcendent and instead brings us back into the body—into integration, presence, and lived experience.What We CoverThe difference between modern yoga and traditional spiritual practiceWhat sacred texts actually are (and why they matter)Kundalini awakenings and spiritual crisisThe role of the divine feminine in healing and awakening Chakras, the subtle body, and energetic awarenessWhy embodiment is essential for true transformationHow ancient traditions have been suppressed—and why they’re returningFind more about Cynthia here: https://www.cynthiaabulafia.com/ Subscribe for more conversations on healing, awakening, and transformation More from me: www.pnwshamanichealing.com Join my Skool to learn the skills to be your own healer:https://www.skool.com/pnw-shamanic-healing-circle-8874/about

In this episode, I sit down with Gregg Westwood to talk about ancestral healing, somatic psychology, soul embodiment, and what it really means to integrate healing into everyday life.

We also get into divine masculine and feminine energies, ceremony, spirit guidance, sacred land, plant medicine, and why integration matters just as much as the healing experience itself. This was a deep conversation on trusting spirit, reconnecting with the wisdom of the body, and remembering that real healing is not just personal — it impacts the whole lineage.In this episode we talk about:ancestral healing and forgivenessbreaking family and lineage patternssomatic psychology and depth integrationsoul embodiment and living from soul-level awarenessdivine masculine and divine feminine balanceceremony, plant medicine, and integrationspirit guides, animals, trees, and interconnectednesstrust, intuition, and being of serviceIf you’ve been exploring trauma healing, spiritual growth, shamanic practices, or deeper embodiment work, this episode has a lot to offerFind more about Gregg here: https://www.depthintegration.com/Find more about me here: www.pnwshamanichealing.com
