In this episode, Nid sits down with Cynthia Abulafia to explore a grounded perspective on spiritual awakening. Together, they open the shift from transcending life to fully embodying it - where kundalini, energy, and consciousness are no longer abstract experiences, but lived through the body.

This conversation gently challenges familiar approaches to spirituality, inviting a return to integration, presence, and embodied awareness.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

• Why awakening is not about rising above the body, but returning into it
• A grounded understanding of kundalini and energetic movement
• The role of the nervous system in spiritual integration
• How ancient wisdom and sacred texts can support modern awakening
• The feminine path of embodiment, softness, and inner listening

If you are moving through intensity, emotional or energetic shifts, or finding yourself called toward a more embodied way of living your spiritual path… this conversation meets you there.
