She delves into the power of breath as a conduit for spiritual connection and emotional release, highlighting the importance of integrating sensitivity into our daily lives. Kora shares practical advice on navigating the world as a highly sensitive person and emphasizes the transformative potential of setting intentions and using breathwork for emotional regulation and healing.

In this episode we explore the archetype of the Devil from different perspectives such as the mind, body and desires, symbolism and the duality of shadow and light.

Key Takeaways:

• the image of the Devil and what it stands for
• the symbolism behind the Devil
• how to break free from the chains of illusion, from guilt and shame
• the potential of being connected to the body
• reclaiming authentic pleasure and desire
• the Devil as the unsung hero of Eden
• the shadow aspect of God
• trinitarian polarity of Lucifer - Ahirman - Christ
• Devil as the card 15 in the Major Arcana of Tarot
• few contemplations on the energy of the Devil

Quotes:

• "Desire is the basis of our evolution. Without desire, there is no growth, there's no expansion."
• "The Devil is this invitation for inquiry, to check in with ourselves and see where can I choose more love and where can I let go of the shame and guilt that keeps me stuck in these patterns?"
• "The Devil brings the possibility of choice, but then asks us in the sea of all possibilities, what do we choose to do?"

Ultimately, the Devil offers the possibility of choice and invites us to choose love and break free from limiting beliefs. I am aware that some will feel triggered but I invite you to just open your heart and see what resonates with you and contemplate your own understanding of the Devil and its significance.

Much love.

Welcome back to the finale of this 3 part series on spiritual alchemy and the journey through the Major Arcana.

In this episode we reflect on what it means to co-create with our divine essence, to harness our sexual energy for creative purposes and to start being of service.

The culmination of the inner work results in the union of opposites and the full opening of the heart to unconditional love through transcending judgement.

The finale is an ode and a reminder that true transformation happens within the crucible of our own being and the Philosopher’s Stone is the heart of God that beats in each and every one of us.

When it comes to the Fool’s journey we cover the archetypes from the Temperance all the way to the World, where the prima materia is reunified. I want to point out that this is not a guide to interpreting the cards but a way to look at these archetypes from the perspective of the soul’s journey.

If you want to dive deeper into the meaning of these archetypes of have any question regarding the episode or suggestions don’t hesitate to contact me either on instagram (@andreitopli) or by email: [email protected]

Thank you to everyone. I am sending you much love.
