In this episode of the Sacred Dynamics Podcast (SDPC), hosts Ro and J welcome back the inspiring Rupda, an internationally recognized Somatic Trauma Therapist, Personal Development Coach, and Group Facilitator. With over 47 years of dedication to the conscious path, Rupda shares her profound insights on playfulness, joy, and aliveness as essential aspects of Self-discovery and healing.

Rupda describes her transformative journey from childhood abandonment to living in Osho’s commune at age nine, and how these experiences shaped her work in healing and Self-awareness. Central themes include the significance of playfulness and aliveness in personal growth, as well as Osho’s teachings on mindfulness and presence, which continue to inspire Rupda’s approach. Her “Deep Dive” international tour is discussed as a platform for immersive healing experiences, emphasizing the importance of surrender, trust, and overcoming inner obstacles to achieve peace. The episode also examines the interplay between trauma and choice, advocating for playful practices and mindfulness as tools for Self-discovery and emotional healing.

Listeners are introduced to practical methods for cultivating trust, relaxation, and mindfulness, drawing from frameworks like the Enneagram and Somatic Experiencing. Key takeaways include the idea that awareness creates choice, the fallacy of impostor syndrome, and the enduring wisdom of nurturing what cannot be taken away. The discussion underscores playfulness as a path to healing and concludes with an invitation to join Sacred Dynamics’ Dharma Talks for deeper insights into awakening and transformation.

The Sacred Dynamics podcast explores some of the most significant topics of our time…
Join us as we dive deep through Consciousness; the fundamental fabric of existence. The healing and awakening process, Spiritual sovereignty and deception on the path, natural laws, and daring to tackle the greatest of all quests; the journey of Self Realization. 
Through the simple yet profound gateway of the Heart, we will unify the Sacred Living story, our symbiotic relationship with nature, and the collective restoration of humanity.
