Introspective Odyssey

Honoring the Sacred Role of Parenthood Through Hard Times As a Metaphysical Mentor and Intuitive Coach, I often hold space for clients as they walk through life’s most tender and transformative passages. In the stillness of spiritual hypnosis, beneath the noise of everyday thought, something deeper often speaks. A voice of clarity. A wisdom beyond the personal. A remembering. This quote came through one such session—spoken by the Higher Self of a mother navigating a season of heartbreak, resilience, and profound growth. It stopped me in my tracks. She has divinely led her children through painful times. They know strength by watching her. This was not just for her. This was for all the parents who’ve walked through fire—wondering if the heat left their children scorched. This was for those whose strength was forged in the middle of the storm, not after it passed. There are seasons in life when we are not the smiling, carefree version of ourselves we hoped our children would remembe...

A meditative pause for the human heart in metamorphosis There are moments on the healing journey when the weight of all that was, all that is, and all that longs to be... gathers in the body like a storm. The stories we’ve outgrown begin to echo louder. The past that we thought had been made peace with stirs beneath the surface, whispering, “there’s more here to meet.” And yet—this, too, is grace. Because in these sacred storms, when triggers awaken ancient grief, fear, or longing, we are being invited... not to collapse, not to react—but to pause . To pause is not to run or to freeze. It is to breathe. To soften. To return. To create a space within yourself— a bubble , a sphere , a chamber of soul where you can meet what arises not with panic, but with presence. This is the metaphysical reset point we often forget we have. The moment where we stop trying to fix, to solve, to resist— and instead… return to the soul, and choose again. Inside the human story, it’s easy t...

By Ruba Moghraby, LMT | Holistic Therapist | Introspective Odyssey We often think of trauma as an event. A moment in time that overwhelmed our ability to cope. But for those living with Complex PTSD , trauma isn’t just a memory—it’s a way of being in the world. It’s the nervous system bracing, the breath tightening, the heart racing… even when the danger is long gone. While traditional approaches to PTSD may focus on memories, thoughts, and behavioral patterns, Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) —which arises from prolonged exposure to relational trauma—requires us to go deeper. It invites us into the body. It beckons us into the sacred terrain of the somatic self —the part of us that feels  before it thinks, that holds  what words cannot say, and that longs not to be analyzed, but to be felt , seen , and released . Understanding Complex PTSD Unlike single-incident PTSD, C-PTSD stems from chronic exposure to stress, often beginning in childhood or occurring in long-term abusive or neglectf...

Expectations shape our reality—sometimes as motivators, but often as burdens. Whether they come from within or from others, unmet expectations can create self-doubt, guilt, and emotional heaviness. But what if you could release them? What if you could step into a space of freedom, where self-acceptance and inner peace replace the weight of expectation? This guided meditation is a journey of release—a hypnotherapy-infused experience designed to help you let go, heal, and transform. Creating Your Sanctuary Before beginning, take a moment to create a space of tranquility. Whether seated or lying down, allow yourself to withdraw from distractions. This is your time to pause, breathe, and reconnect with yourself. Let the outside world fade as you turn inward, preparing to embrace a lighter, more liberated state of being. The Power of Visualization With each word spoken in this meditation, your subconscious is gently guided into a space of transformation. Through the power of visualization, ...

Watch the interview Life is an unpredictable journey filled with challenges that test our strength, resilience, and capacity for growth. This was beautifully depicted in a recent conversation between Ruba and Jessica , who shared her poignant life story. Jessica’s journey is one of transformation—a profound narrative of finding purpose through love, enduring loss, and ultimately embracing personal growth. The Beginning of Jessica’s Story Jessica grew up in a tight-knit family with two parents and siblings. Unlike many stories of unrest in childhood, her life was marked by stability and love. However, a pivotal moment occurred when her older sister made some life-altering decisions that profoundly impacted the family. This incident shaped Jessica's perspective on life and her desire to follow a different path from the one she witnessed. Finding Her Path Throughout her school years, sports became an outlet for Jessica, a space where she could shine. It was here that her self...
