    Series 1 Chapter Three: The Echoes In My Bloodline

    When I first started my spiritual journey, I never thought that my past would play a significant role. I figured spirituality was all about focusing on the present. Living in the NOW as the say. But there’s also that old saying ‘In order to know where you’re going, you need to know where you came from!”  So please join me on this Episode of How I Met My Soul, as I take a journey back to my past, to find answers. ******* A spiritual journey can be a very challenging one. If you can imagine that for the most part, there is no set manual or a convenient spiritual mentor/guru/shaman at hand to help guide you as you try and figure things out. And so we are exposed bare, to a world full of mystery. The question then becomes "how do I know that I'm on the right path?". The answer is out there, I'd like to believe! How I met my SOUL Podcast is hosted by Shumba Guru, a descendant of the African Lion Clan, join him as he delves his personal spiritual experiences as well as topics that will hopefully help you to find meaning in your spiritual experiences and lead you towards your ultimate connection with your divine soul and life purpose.

    Series 1 Bonus Episode: Generational Trauma and Pain

    In this heartfelt bonus episode, Shumba Guru invites you into a deeply personal reflection on identity, inheritance, and the unseen emotional legacies we carry. He contemplates the ways we mirror our ancestors, not just in how we look or act, but in the pain we unconsciously inherit. What if the struggles we face in love, self-worth, and vulnerability aren’t just ours alone? What if they’re echoes of wounds passed down through generations? From the silence of our parents to the fears of our grandparents, this episode explores the truth about generational trauma — how it shapes us, and how we can begin to heal. You’ll be guided through powerful questions about who you truly are, beyond the pain. With vulnerability, insight, and compassion, Shumba shares how healing doesn’t just free us, it liberates the generations before and after us. This is not just an episode, it’s a call to reclaim your identity, release inherited pain, and choose a new path rooted in love, awareness, and joy. You are not your trauma. You are a whole, radiant being. And your healing begins now.

    Series 1 Chapter Two: The Question is, Who Am I?

    What happens when your body becomes a mirror for your soul's unrest? In this deeply personal and gripping episode, Shumba Guru dives into the heart of an existential crisis triggered by chronic pain, family loss, and a haunting question that won't let go: Who am I, really? Told through a powerful blend of introspection, spiritual encounters, and raw vulnerability, this episode charts a journey that begins with physical suffering and spirals into the metaphysical. From a mysterious pain that doctors can't explain, to encounters with ancestral spirits, questionable healers, and finally, a surprising turning point in a Reiki session, Shumba confronts the masks he’s worn and the truth he's been avoiding. Alongside a poignant reflection on the anniversary of his father’s death, Shumba explores the spiritual weight of grief, identity, and inherited pain. Guided by the enigmatic Dr. Shad, he’s pushed to dig deeper, back to the beginning, where the roots of his suffering may hold the key to his healing. This isn’t just a story about pain. It’s about peeling back the layers, facing the shadows, and choosing truth over illusion. Because sometimes, the path to healing starts with a single question: Who am I, really, beneath it all?

    Series 1 Chapter One: Dark Spirits and Lost Faith

    In this gripping debut episode of How I Met My Soul, Shumba Guru opens up about a deeply personal spiritual crisis that began with a bold decision to return to his ancestral homeland of Zimbabwe. What was meant to be a sacred pilgrimage quickly spiralled into a psychological and spiritual nightmare, as he and his wife encountered dark forces masquerading as ancestral guides. Shumba recounts their journey from leaving the burnout of life in the UK, to being spiritually initiated by a revered shaman, to the harrowing moment of realisation that they had been deceived by spirits they once trusted. In a raw and unfiltered reflection, he explores themes of faith, betrayal, and the painful unraveling of a spiritual path that once promised purpose and healing. This episode sets the stage for a powerful spiritual awakening, identity, and the unseen forces that shape our lives. If you've ever questioned your faith or felt lost on your journey, this is a story that will resonate deeply.

    Series 1 Prologue: A Journey of Self Discovery

    In this opening episode of “How I Met My Soul,” host Shumba Guru shares a vulnerable, soul-stirring reflection on the start of his spiritual journey. Born from personal pain, awakening, and deep introspection, this prologue lays the groundwork for a series that explores trauma, healing, and the divine thread that connects us all. This isn’t just a podcast, it’s a sacred space for seekers of truth, peace, and purpose. So what are you waiting for? Let's begin that journey within! ********************* "Beneath those layers of expectation, conditioning, fear, and identity, lies a deeper truth—the essence of who we are. And yet, that truth cannot be read in a book or handed down from someone else. It must be lived, uncovered one step at a time through experience, reflection, and often, solitude. The spiritual implications of this journey are so profound. To seek oneself is, in a way, to seek the divine—whether one names it God, the Universe, Consciousness, or simply Truth.
