What if enlightenment isn’t a peak state but the simple, radical act of seeing yourself clearly with mercy? We trace a path from “manic bliss” to embodied joy, where clarity flows through the body and peace becomes a felt experience rather than a spiritual badge. Along the way, we unpack a bold claim—there’s no such thing as enlightened cruelty—because all harm springs from confusion, not clarity, and light distorts when it passes through unhealed wounds.
I share a grounded reframe of awakening and a compassionate map of core fractures—belonging, safety, worth, shame, trust, abandonment, powerlessness—that shape repeating patterns. Instead of chasing origins, we learn to track the pattern, forgive the self, and let grief move without a story. There’s a guided practice you can use right now: hand to heart, breath into the belly, name the self-judgments, and ask the soul to illuminate what you can’t yet see—with ease and grace. As the nervous system settles, grace becomes physiological, othering dissolves, and true power feels like peace.
We also open a 14-week cohort for women to co-create a living framework that moves from forgiveness to radiance. Built on four pillars—people, process, practices, and purpose—the arc blends Inquiry, Meditation, Sound, Art, Voice, Embodiment, and Dance so insight lands in the body. Whether you’re navigating grief or just tired of insights that won’t stick, this journey offers soul CPR: concepts that orient, practices that regulate, and realizations that arise from your own truth.
