The Power of Ceremony: How to Create Balance in Your Life and Honor Sacred Rituals

Have you connected with your Pachakuti lately? Are you seeking greater balance in your life yet unsure how to find it? The solution may be within a Shamanistic approach honoring ceremony, ritual and sacred reciprocity. My guest this week, Jnana Gowan, is here to enlighten you to these Shamanic ways and guide you towards your balance point.

Show Notes

We are all constantly seeking balance in our lives both within and without. Yet it can often feel elusive to find this balance between our personal needs,  relationships, life demands, and inner wounds. Jnana Gowan; teacher, ceremonialist, reiki and yoga practitioner, has a deep understanding of the importance of ritual and ceremony to heal and restore harmony. She sees ritual as the language of the Universe and incorporates various clearing and healing practices to allow others to create balance in their lives. On this episode, Jnana and I talk about the personal journey that is life and how we can find a way to truly release the past and move onto new paths while finding our balance point. Jnana  shares  some Shamanic concepts with us such as the Pachakuti and the Andean principle of Ayni.

What is Women Waken: Spiritual Healing for Trauma in Relationships to Shift from Codependency to Divine Feminine?

My name is Whitney Walker, welcome to Women Waken! I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist specialising in substance abuse, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and Spirituality. Over 10 years ago I walked into a therapist office for the first time because I realised that I felt incapable of handling life. I abused drugs and alcohol, had rock bottom self esteem, often felt suicidal, was very self destructive, and had no idea how to resolve what felt like a complete mess inside my mind and emotions.

After years of therapy, getting sober, and choosing to begin the journey of unconditional self love for myself, things started to change. My self esteem rose along with my self regard and kindness towards myself. I knew there was only one thing I wanted to do with the rest of my life; help others out of the place that I was in and start figuring out how we can end these cycles for good, for all of us.

Women Waken is building community and offering a platform for Women to come together who share a vision of creating a new way of life where insecurity, low self esteem, and self- destruction are no longer the norm. Where we are able to rebalance the dynamic between the inner and outer Worlds so that our ability to love and accept ourselves is no longer dependent on externals.

On this show, we speak to Women who are seeking to heal from traumas/habits/addictions that are keeping them in a place of disempowerment who are ready to begin aligning with their true self and are ready to let their light shine

I release two episodes a week, an interview and solo episode,

If you feel ready to reclaim your power and stand in your Divine light I hope this show finds you!
