Ashta Siddhi: A Path To Healing and Inner Power

We are an intricate continuum of energy, existing across many layers—body, mind, senses, emotions, psyche, and soul. The densest of these is the body; the most subtle is the soul. And beyond all, resides the Spirit—our purest and most potent essence.

When trauma strikes, it leaves imprints across these layers. True healing doesn’t just address the symptoms—it awakens us to the gifts buried beneath the pain. Psycho-spiritual trauma therapy is this sacred bridge: where modern healing modalities meet spiritual embodiment, helping us not just to heal, but to reclaim our inner power.

The Gifts of the Spirit: Ashta Siddhi

According to yogic and scriptural traditions, we each carry eight subtle powers—Ashta Siddhi—dormant within us. These are not supernatural feats, but the natural birthrights of a Spirit restored to wholeness.

1. Anima (Becoming Small)

The gift of introspection and fine-tuned awareness. Anima invites us to step back from emotional reactivity, observe with humility, and recognize: not everything is about us. In this sacred shrinking, we find clarity.

2. Mahima (Becoming Vast)

The remembrance that we are infinite. Mahima is about holding all experience—especially pain—as part of a greater becoming. Through this expansion, wounds alchemize into wisdom.

3. Garima (Becoming Heavy)

A spiritual groundedness, unshakeable presence, and deep stability. Garima is the gift of being rooted in the moment, anchored like the earth itself. It allows us to witness storms without being swept away.

4. Laghima (Becoming Light)

The power of letting go. Laghima is about shedding emotional weight—grief, blame, outdated identities—and choosing freedom. It’s not denial, but the wisdom of release: "It served what it could."

5. Prapti (Attainment)

Reclaiming lost love, trust, faith, and joy. Prapti is about drawing back what once felt lost through spiritual practice and emotional resolution.

6. Prakamya (Fulfilling Desires)

The return to soul-aligned desire. Trauma teaches us to contract; Prakamya teaches us to want again—from a place of wholeness, contentment, and trust.

7. Ishatva (Mastery over Nature)

Mastery not over the external world, but our inner one: emotions, thoughts, reactions, and energetic responses. Ishatva is inner sovereignty.

8. Vashitva (Control Over Forces)

The harmony of being in flow—with life, spirit, and circumstance. This Siddhi allows us to attract what aligns, release what doesn’t, and live in partnership with the Universe.

The Psycho-Spiritual Path

Healing trauma with spiritual tools involves more than concepts—it is practice, presence, and deep remembering. Here are some of the modalities used:

  • Inner Child Work & Family Constellations to release inherited patterns and childhood wounds

  • Breathwork, Yoga & Meditation to regulate the nervous system and clear energetic residue

  • Past Life Regression & Ancestral Healing to resolve karmic imprints

  • EFT, Matrix Reimprinting & Energy Healing to dissolve emotional and energetic blocks

  • Rituals, mantra, and sacred practice pathways to restore spiritual connection, joy, and clarity

Through this journey, trauma is no longer an anchor—it becomes a portal. A sacred teacher. A spark that can illuminate the path to your highest self.

By moving through the Eight Inner Poverties (Ashta Daridryam) and reclaiming the Eight Inner Powers (Ashta Siddhi), we don’t just heal, we return.

To clarity. To Spirit. To the truth that was always within us.

Your power never left. It only needed space to rise.
