Raised in a tin-roof house deep in the woods of southern Virginia, Sophia Hornyak is a lifelong seer and comes from a family of root-workers who immersed her in the traditions of their ancestors. She has practiced alongside a diverse group of magical practitioners out of Harry's Occult in Philadelphia, and is an Akashic teacher, having studied under Akashic leaders such as Linda Howe and Helen Vonderheide. 

As an explorer of the abyss, her core purpose is in facing fears and researching what it means to do so across various philosophies. Her personal practice is a blend of Bhakti yoga and The Western Mysteries Traditions including Qabalah, Angelics, and Gematria.

As a storyweaver, Sophia’s writing is down to earth, supportive, straight-forward and humorous. As a conduit, she distills the esoteric down to being understandable if not relatable. She writes on nostalgia, adversity, the occult, spirituality, and how it all weaves into our lives. 

In this fascinating & spiritually rich podcast we cover these topics and more:

- What is the akasha?  And what are the akashic records?
- Developing trust, compassion and larger perspective in our lives
- How to describe the ineffable and live with that which is ineffable
- The deeper commonality among different spiritual experience and various religions and religious practices
- Meeting spirituality from where we are at, rather than meeting religion where it is at
- Creation & creativity as divine connection
- Questioning what it means “to be spiritual”
- Learning  + practicing how to find the mystical in the everyday mundane of our lives
- Revealing who we are instead of “healing” who we are
- Creating our own “spiritual eco-system”

and much more!

EMPOWERED CONNECTION

Themes: Shadow Work, Self Denial, Self Empowerment, Relationships, Embodiment, Healing, Self Love, Integration Work, Emotional Intelligence, Somatics

Shadows are parts of ourselves we repress, deny or avoid.

These could range anywhere from anger shadows, to sexual shadows, to shadows of neediness, to shadows of guilt, scorn, revenge, shame, etc.  Our inner critic & inner saboteur can often be seen as a “shadow."

When we don't build a relationship to our shadows and work to integrate them more holistically into our lived experience, our shadow may come out sideways in manners that compromise our deeper integrity, our relationships, and our lives.

(Listen to Episode #32 for more on Shadow Work)

In this solo podcast episode, Empowered Connection podcast host Damodar Cordua gives the listener a practical step-by-step embodied meditation that will help you find, know, and build a better relationship with your own shadows.... then, integrate that relationship into your life in empowering and life-giving ways.

*(If your shadow work becomes too intense or you feel the need to become more resourced around this practice, reach out to Damodar or another professional for more assistance)

EMPOWERED CONNECTION

Themes: Forgiveness, Emotional Intelligence, Spirituality, Love, Freedom, Self Empowerment, Sovereignty, Letting Go, Grief, Transformation

Forgiveness is, on one hand, the realm of the spiritual. It brings us into the teachings of many religious luminaries, who have showed us that to soften our heart with compassion - even for those who have wronged us - is a gateway into learning how to truly love.

On the other hand, spiritual perspectives can also overemphasize forgiveness in such a way that it bypasses our own unique emotional process. These perspectives may pressure us to forgive before we are actually ready - making our forgiveness more superficial than we realize or a making our forgiveness a product of guilt more than our capacity to love.

In this solo podcast episode, host Damodar Cordua, explores the nuance of practicing forgiveness and offers empowering tools to allow our forgiving to be authentic, deep, and sincere without bypassing or minimizing our experience and/or our hurt.

AND - Listen to the end of the episode and find a helpful forgiveness ritual that will help you on your path of forgiving others - and with it, your healing, your freedom, and your ability to love.
