Discover your own inner goddess.

Cynthia Abulafia introduces a map of the complete spiritual process rooted in history, spiritual traditions, and modern science, by recalling the radically inclusive divine feminine principles of curiosity and reverence.

Spiritual traditions and religions often ask seekers to transcend something: the body, the mind, the human experience? Spirituality has for centuries, if not millennia, focused on moving beyond the human body and life. But embodiment matters, and is crucial. Many spiritual seekers have been offered an incomplete map of the spiritual process with a goal from "salvation" to "samadhi." Abulafia calls this the transcendence bias: when a tradition teaches us to go up and out but forgets to tell us how to come back into the body.

Embodying the Goddess is about turning back in and toward the body, mind, and intuitive field, and finding spiritual recognition in the individual- limitations and all. The Goddess path is one where the spiritual practice is firmly experienced in life.
