Episode Description
On a true path of devotion, we lose everything in service to truth and love!
In this episode, we go straight into the core of what being a devotee involves from the doorway of Tantra and Eastern Cosmology.
Zena gracefully shares from her own experience what felt like many lifetimes lived in this one brought to her awareness; allowing consciousness to work through her being and surrender to the process with love being her guide and truth her compass.
Many themes were woven together; The stripping of layers of delusion to touch on the core wound of separation, the cycles of deaths and rebirths, the impact on one’s life on many levels, the hero/ine’s journey and the importance of elders in the times we are living to touch base and course correct.
A spiral that goes round and round to come back to truth and love. In some moments of vulnerability, the love that pours out in this episode has been a blessing to experience and a reminder to be in awe of meeting again as we re-surface from another dive into the underworld.
We hope you enjoy this episode!
