  • Embodying The Goddess To Awaken Reverence with Cynthia Abulafia

    Embodying The Goddess To Awaken Reverence with Cynthia Abulafia
    2026/05/14
    In this rich and wide-ranging episode, Derek welcomes Cynthia Abulafia, author of Embodying the Goddess, advocate for goddess lineages, and longtime student of yoga, tantra, non-duality, Sanskrit, and sacred texts. Together, they explore the living presence of the Divine Feminine, the transformational force of Kundalini awakening, and the deeper meaning of Kali as both void and pulsation. Cynthia shares how a powerful Kundalini awakening in her twenties opened her into a long mystical process—one she later came to understand as the movement of the Goddess herself. She describes how Kali entered her life not as an abstract symbol, but as a specific, living doorway into both destruction and liberation. The conversation moves beyond simplified ideas of “the Goddess” and into the paradox of the particular and the universal: how a deity can be both one face of reality and the whole of reality itself.A central theme of the episode is non-duality through a Tantric lens. Cynthia challenges the idea that spiritual realization ends in the void, stillness, or transcendence. Drawing on Tantric Shaivism, Utpaladeva, Abhinavagupta, and the Kali traditions, she offers a profound reframing: true non-duality is not only the dissolution of self into emptiness but also the return into life, body, sensation, relationship, and sacred pulsation. Rather than rejecting the body or the world as illusion, Tantra invites us to see embodiment itself as divine.Derek and Cynthia also discuss the limits of modern spirituality’s “transcendence bias”—the tendency to worship stillness while mistrusting the body, emotion, and life-force. Cynthia speaks beautifully about the importance of completing the circle: moving from personal identity into liberation, and then back into the body with reverence. The episode also explores Cynthia’s devotional and ritual life. She shares her framework of being encoded, embodied, and embedded: encoded through ancestry, embodied through soul and karmic memory, and embedded in the land, culture, and time in which we live. This becomes a powerful invitation to practice ritual with curiosity, ethics, reverence, and relationship.This episode is a deep dive into Kali, Kundalini, Tantra, non-duality, sacred texts, ritual, spiritual crisis, and the return of the Divine Feminine—not as an idea, but as a living, pulsing reality moving through the body, the world, and the heart.Connect with Cynthiahttps://www.cynthiaabulafia.com/https://www.instagram.com/cynthiaabulafiayoga/00:00 Introduction to the Divine Feminine Journey04:10 Personal Awakening and the Goddess Connection06:57 The Shift from Analytical to Spiritual Perspectives09:56 Exploring Non-Duality and the Goddess12:52 Faith, Curiosity, and the Nature of Reality15:43 Understanding Kali and Her Many Forms18:31 Non-Duality: Perspectives and Philosophies21:12 The Intersection of Pulsation and Stillness23:47 Tantra and the Dynamic Nature of Existence33:37 The Power of Naming and Perception34:31 The Journey of Spiritual Traditions35:40 Death and Dying in Spiritual Practices38:29 The Concept of Mahasamadhi41:00 The Spiral of Existence43:21 Kundalini Awakening Experiences51:33 The Role of Sacred Texts57:17 Devotional Practices and Rituals01:06:32 End Clip Youtube.mp4Connect with Derek:​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠curamedicina.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/cura_medicina_podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​derek {@} ⁠⁠⁠⁠curamedicina.com⁠⁠⁠⁠Derek's Books on Amazon:​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Ayahuasca: A Beginner's Guide⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sacred Geometry and Patterns of Divine Design⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠​⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hapé Sacred Tobacco: Plant Medicine Ally From The Amazon Rainforest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe & Review Please take a moment to subscribe to the podcast and leave us a review on your favorite platform.

    Naturally Healthy Pets with Dr. Judy Morgan: Secrets to Nutrition, Longevity, and Healing
    2026/05/03

    Are your pets surviving, or are they truly thriving? In this episode of Cura Medicina, host Derek Dodds sits down with renowned integrative veterinarian Dr. Judy Morgan to challenge the status quo of modern veterinary care.

    The pet food and pharmaceutical industries have heavily influenced veterinary education, often leading to a cycle of chronic illness, over-processed diets, and unnecessary over-vaccination. Dr. Morgan joins us to break down how to stop treating symptoms and start addressing the root causes of our animals' health issues.

    • ​The Truth About Pet Food: Why 95% of pet owners are feeding their animals ultra-processed "filler" diets and how to transition to species-appropriate nutrition.
    • ​Vaccination Protocols: Why your pet might be over-vaccinated, the dangers of newer mRNA vaccines, and why you should be asking for titers instead of booster shots.
    • ​Natural Parasite Control: Expert tips for managing fleas and ticks without relying on harsh chemicals.
    • ​Hospice & Quality of Life: A compassionate look at managing terminal diagnoses, focusing on comfort and joy rather than just medical intervention.
    • ​The CBD Connection: Navigating the therapeutic use of CBD for anxious and ailing pets.

    Whether you have a cat with GI issues or a senior dog dealing with chronic illness, Dr. Morgan provides actionable, holistic advice that empowers pet parents to become the best advocates for their companions.

    Transformative Healing Experiences: Spontaneous Buddhism, Cancer Healing and Plant Medicine with Kinga Lis
    2026/04/19
    The Alchemy of Identity and Healing with Kinga LisIn this episode of Cura Medicina, Derek sits down with Kinga Lis, an integrative psychiatric nurse practitioner whose life is a masterclass in transformation and transformative healing experiences. From her childhood as a refugee fleeing communist Poland to her current path navigating a terminal cancer diagnosis, Kinga discusses how she "birthed" a new identity by integrating ancient wisdom into modern mental health practices.This conversation explores the profound intersection of Tibetan Buddhism, psychedelic therapy, and the body's cellular intelligence. Kinga shares her unconventional healing journey, reclaiming her empowerment through name changes, meditation, and a deep, non-dualistic relationship with her physical self. Whether you are seeking inner peace, self-discovery, or a holistic approach to wellness, Kinga’s insights offer a roadmap for personal development and profound growth.What We Cover:[00:00] The Meaning of "Kinga": Why she left her birth name behind to empower her "clan warrior" spirit and life force.[05:30] Reclaiming Power: The spiritual significance of names and how switching to "Kinga" served as a ceremony for self-healing.[08:43] From Refugee to Artist: Kinga’s transition from the New York art world to mindfulness-based health coaching and medicine.[17:20] The Cancer Diagnosis: Facing high-grade serous carcinoma and the "1% recovery" she attributes to combining Western chemo with self-care and naturopathic protocols.[30:00] The Buddhist Download: A spontaneous awakening during an Ayahuasca ceremony that introduced her to Tibetan Buddhist mudras without prior study.[36:00] The Intelligence of Cancer Cells: A deep dive into whether cancer possesses sentient awareness and how to bring "out of control" cells back into coherence.[44:00] Somatic Wisdom & Mudras: How daily yoga and intuitive hand gestures helped Kinga clear energy blockages and overcome neuropathy.[55:00] Healing as Expression: The philosophy that trauma is an "impression" on the body, and true healing requires the "expression" of the body’s innate wisdom.Notable Quotes & Resources"Patrice sounds like a deflating balloon to me now, and I’m just letting it go.""Why should a cancer cell have the skill, intelligence, and ability to change its genetic expression, and we—who think of ourselves as intelligent beings—not have that same degree of control?""Any wisdom that arises is just a remembrance. It’s nothing new. It’s always been here."Links MentionedKinga’s Practice: Transcend Psychiatric – Integrative psychiatry and Ketamine-assisted therapy in Atwater Village, LA.
