Welcome. My name is Medina Shah. I am a somatic coach, meditation guide, and practitioner of classical Tantra.

Born in the United States, I was the first in my lineage to take birth outside of my motherland, Kashmir. I was raised Muslim, but when I met my own deep ancestral knowing of Kashmir Shaivism, I journeyed out of the fear- and guilt-ridden conditioning of my religious upbringing and into lived relationship with the Goddess as a face of the One.

Everything I thought I knew about God blasted open… making room for Truth and Reality to flow freely.

The last several years of my life have been radically transformed through the practice of inner listening. Truly LISTENING, as a servant, to my body, heart, and womb as my God-given messengers of Truth. This is what somatic work is all about.

My very own body…

• guided me out of unhealthy, codependent relationships.

• delivered me from the intergenerational trauma of war, oppression, domestic abuse, and melancholia.

• moved me to Asia after years of chronic illness induced by American society, food, and culture.

• gave me the courage to leave a career path that was draining my spirit.

• opened me into levels of pleasure, expansion, possibility, and abundance beyond my imagination.

• pushed me into my highest creative expression.

• seduced me right into my dharmic path.

But above all… my body was the most direct portal I had into experiencing the Divine.

I learned that Shakti is more alive in my body than She is in any temple, book, image, idol, or sound. And it is to Her that I am in humble service. It is She whom I follow with abandon.

I have learned to welcome myself home, everywhere I go. I have learned to trust the ways I am being fed, led, and carried, even in the moments I feel the most alone and forgotten. This is the natural blessing that comes from living in truth.

And the story continues to unfold. 📿🕊️
