Overview

“If you’ve hesitated to pick up a book on goddess spirituality or the sacred feminine before, this one may change your mind. Cynthia Abulafia is uniquely qualified to open up a rich, ancient tradition for those who are curious and seeking.” —SpiritualityandPractice.com 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.

“A lucid and powerful guide for those seeking the highest form of success: living a beautiful and just life.” —Dr. Flavia Maia, Obama Foundation Scholar, Dalai Lama Fellow, activist and founder of Filha do Sol “Cynthia Abulafia has lived with many forms of the Goddess throughout her life. In this book, she offers questions, stories, and guidance inviting others along the path she's found. As a mother, yogini, teacher, and spouse—and most of all, a human being—she writes with kindness, humor, wisdom, and compassion for integrating transcendence and everyday immanent life. Truly a valuable friend to have along the way!” —Hallie Austen Iglehart, author of The Heart of the Goddess
