The Sacred Weave: Shadow, Light & the Journey Home
Manage episode 495898444 series 3659305
In this deeply moving episode of The FitZen Project, host Rachel Fitzpatrick sits down with the radiant Jaap—Reiki Master, Kundalini teacher, and intuitive healer—for a conversation that flows like ceremony.
Together, they explore the sacred dance between shadow and light, the courage it takes to live authentically, and the power of returning to the self. From their serendipitous meeting at the Kentucky Yoga Festival to the soul work happening at the Church of the Sparkling Unicorn, this episode is a tapestry of healing, humor, and heart.
✨ What you’ll hear:
- Jaap’s awakening at 33 and the unraveling that followed
- The role of breath, movement, and ritual in everyday life
- Healing through community, creativity, and divine timing
- How shadow work and light work are both sacred
- The beauty of being a householder on a spiritual path
This episode is a warm invitation to return to yourself, to honor your story, and to remember that healing is not linear—it’s a dance between the divine and the human, the mystical and the mundane.
🌀 Whether you’re navigating your own transformation or simply seeking a moment of grounding, this episode is a reminder that your story is sacred—and you are already home.
