    81. Shadow Work, Sacred Union & Embodied Healing w/ Navjot Dhaliwal

    In this transformative episode of Thriving in Love, I’m joined by my dear friend and Spiritual Alchemist, Navjot Dhaliwal, for a deep & raw conversation on shadow work, feminine embodiment, and the alchemy of true healing. We explore why shadow work is actually love work, how to embrace the parts of yourself that feel too dark to face, and why true healing isn’t just about mindset shifts but embodied integration. From understanding how 99% of our thoughts unconsciously shape our reality, to stepping off the burnout-inducing healing treadmill and into the sacred space of feminine embodiment, Navjot shares insights that will shift how you view healing, union, and emotional honesty. We talk about the spiritual ego trap, why safety must be defined through your truth—not your wounds—and how to cultivate sacred union from authenticity, not performance. This conversation is an invitation to feel deeply, embrace all your emotions as medicine, and rematrix the matrix through presence, power, and pause. Timestamps: 0:00 Introduction 1:22 Shadow work is love work: loving the parts of you that feel unlovable 2:22 99% of our thoughts unconsciously shape our lives 6:55 Why embodiment is key after shadow work 8:55 Redefining safety from truth, not trauma 11:11 From mindset to true embodiment 13:44 Spiritual ego and the missing piece: integration 19:00 Sacred Union rooted in truth vs performance 22:22 Stop gaslighting your desires; claim what you really want 24:00 Consciousness and the future of collective evolution 28:42 The sacred pause and how it heals the planet 29:55 We’re not escaping the matrix—we’re re-matrixing it 32:00 Death, void, and rebirth: the alchemical process 38:08 All emotions are part of your magnetic aura 39:00 Let your heart break—that’s where God meets you 43:00 Every emotion is medicine Connect with Navjot: https://linktr.ee/metaphysical_goddess https://www.instagram.com/metaphysical_goddess/ _________________ Ready to Call In Conscious Love?Join the Conscious Matchmaking waitlist for a chance to be invited to our next dating event. or Apply for the UNION Membership to gather monthly with singles and couples ready to co-create legacy-level love. _________________ Follow Sana on Social:⁠ Https://www.instagram.com/sanaakhand⁠⁠ Https://www.tiktok.com/@sanaakhand Subscribe to Sana's Substack:⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sanaakhand.substack.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Leave a review on Apple Podcasts: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thriving-in-love/id1638372129⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ To be a guest on the show or share a story, email me at: hi@sanaakhand.com
