In this episode of Aura Room, host Archita sits down with psychotherapist, author, mystic and spiritual teacher Catia Batalha to unpack what holistic healing and conscious living actually look like in real life. Rather than chasing gurus, retreats or quick-fix tools, Catia reframes awakening as remembering who we already are. She explains how anxiety, burnout and spiritual seeking often come from believing we are broken, while our essence is already whole, loving and connected. Through a grounded mix of yoga, tantra, shamanic wisdom, psychosomatic awareness and nervous system practices, Catia walks through how the body, emotions, mind and soul all signal where we are bypassing our pain versus actually integrating it. If you are feeling stuck in your healing, disconnected from your body or overwhelmed by the digital noise, this conversation gives you practical, spiritually honest ways to slow down, meet your shadows and come back to the present moment with more clarity and agency. About the Guest : Catia Batalha is a psychotherapist, author, mystic and spiritual teacher whose work bridges Eastern and Western traditions. Drawing from yoga, tantra, shamanism and psychosomatic therapy, she supports people in transforming trauma, dissolving limiting beliefs and reconnecting with their innate wholeness. Her book “Echoes of the Timeless”explores her own journey of deconditioning and returning to the heart through spiritual practice. Catia offers courses, guidance and resources for seekers who are ready to move beyond bypassing and into embodied, conscious living. Key Takeaways: Awakening is not about becoming someone new. It is a remembering of the love and wholeness that were always present beneath conditioning, fear and survival patterns. Much of our suffering comes from mentally looping on the past or future. Returning to the present moment through breath, body awareness and nature breaks the anxiety cycle. Traditional talk therapy often focuses on mind and emotions. Practices like yoga, tantra and breathwork bring the body and energy into the healing process, where trauma is actually stored. Spiritual bypassing shows up when we claim to be “at peace” while the body is ill, relationships are chaotic or we are constantly attracting the same painful patterns. The body and life circumstances reveal what the mind tries to hide. Illness or chronic symptoms can sometimes be psychosomatic expressions of unprocessed emotions. The soul pushes for freedom by speaking through the body, dreams and repeated external situations. Love in tantra is not just a romantic feeling. It is our natural state of being, like the sun behind clouds of “I am not enough,” abandonment fears and shame. Daily micro-practices - 5 minutes of meditation, conscious breathing, nature time, nourishing relationships and aligned content - make conscious living realistic in a fast-paced, digital world.
