Communing with the Goddess: A Ritual Guide for Modern Women to heal trauma, expand consciousness, and embody divine, pure life force itself
In a world that often pulls us out of our bodies, dims our intuition, and fragments our sacred knowing, the path back to wholeness is not through the intellect—it is through the body, the breath, and the cultivation of presence within the human physical aspects of self. In this way we are merging matter with spirit. There are ancient practices, now backed and understood by modern science, that we can learn from in order to facilitate more of these healing shifts.
This guide is an offering for modern women ready to reclaim their inner temple of God, activate their healing powers, and rewire the subconscious by devotionally entering somatic, trance-informed states of ecstatic worship, communion with the deeper aspects of self and a sense of the divine within.
This kind of work enlivens our flesh with spirit, it brings renewed energy and clarity to our human existence, and informs a sense of power and purpose with how we move through life and how we show up for our selves, our loved ones and families.
Why the Body is the Temple
Your body is not separate from your spirit. It is the storehouse of emotion, memory, and ancestral wisdom—but also encoded in your DNA is ancestral trauma, suppression, and limiting beliefs. These are held not just in the mind, but in your fascia, your breath, your womb, your heart. Thet are also transmutable through the intentional and conscious use of the breath & body in order to bring abut heightened states of awareness.
Through somatic presence—tuning into the felt sensations within—you begin to access the subconscious mind that governs 95% of your thoughts, choices, and patterns. Somatic work creates a doorway through which these deep imprints can be gently released and rewritten- through the presence of the flesh.
Why Trance and Ritual Work
When you enter a trance-like state—through rhythm, breath, mantra & movement—you shift your brainwaves into alpha or theta states.
Dropping int these kinds of states are fertile grounds for rewiring the nervous system and infusing it with new beliefs, truths, and energies that align with your highest devotional intentions.
In this space, you’re not “performing” ritual—you are becoming it. The Goddess is not outside you. She is you, waiting to be felt, moved, and expressed through your voice, your tears, your hips, your rage, your devotion.
How to Create an Intense, Somatic Goddess Worship Ritual
1. Set the Sacred Space
-
Clean the room physically and energetically: sweep, burn incense, open windows.
-
Create an altar: include an image or statue of the Goddess (or a mirror to channel through your own image), blood-red or orange cloth, flowers, candles, turmeric, uncooked rice, and sacred items like a bell, drum, or feathers.
-
Place your body as the centrepiece—not as an object, but as a sacred instrument.
2. Build Energy (Bhakti + Shakti)
This is not casual meditation. This is ecstatic, emotional devotion. Bhakti is loving, devotional practice. Shakti is the creative force of the universe.
-
Choose a mantra and chant it rhythmically:
-
"Om Krim Kalikayai Namah"
-
"Om Shakti Om"
-
"Adi Shakti Adi Shaki Namo namo"
-
- You can also use instruments: drum, clap, rattle, or ring a bell.
- Move your body without choreography—let it be wild, fluid, eruptive if that is what wants to be expressed.
- Cry, growl, laugh, whatever is ready & waiting to be felt and moved through is completely appropriate.
- Let your self be led by the visceral, feeling self. "The more emotion you allow yourself to feel, the deeper the rewiring."
Somatic Tip: Notice where energy gathers. Does your chest tighten? Belly heat up? Let breath and sound move through those places. This is where old programming softens and new truth enters.
3. Enter the Altered State
-
Let your voice, movement, and breath carry you beyond linear time and deeper in to the eternal now moment, pure presence, building, deepening, expanding.
-
Breathe rhythmically and fully. A slight increase in breath rate can induce trance (follow your comfort).
-
Surrender control. Let your body lead.
-
Speak aloud any devotional words, prayers, offerings, requests, intentions that might be on your heart.
This is the portal. You are not pretending. You are remembering.
4. Divine Embodiment
-
You may feel:
-
Heat
-
Tingling
-
Tears
-
Shaking
-
Voice changes
-
Spontaneous prayer or sound
-
Welcome it all. This is your life force/ Shakti rising. This is not dissociation—it is deep re-sensitization. You are experiencing the merging of your nervous system with pure life force consciousness itself.
Healing Tip: When this happens, you are literally rewiring trauma and subconscious beliefs. The Light of pure consciousness enters where you have made space through moving emotion and surrender.
5. Ground and Integrate
-
Lie down. Be still. Breathe with your hand on your heart and womb.
-
Offer thanks with water, fruit, or sweet food.
-
Eat something grounding like rice, ghee, or dates.
-
Journal what came through: images, feelings, messages, memories.
🕊 Notes of Care
-
Do not force intensity. This path is about truth, not performance.
-
If you’ve experienced trauma or dissociation, stay close to your breath and body. Come back often. Work with a trusted guide if needed.
-
Best done on new moons, full moons, Fridays, or in solitude after dark.
In Closing
This ritual is not about becoming someone new—it’s about remembering who you are beneath the noise: a living temple of divine intelligence, feminine power, and radiant healing potential.
When you channel sound, breath & movement combined with intention for healing and expansion with your whole body, when you weep and speak and deepen self connection on the altar of your own rebirth, is when you feel Her in your spine and skin— this is when you’re not just healing yourself,
You’re healing the feminine wound of generations.
You are becoming Her—again.
