Gaslighting is one of the most invisible forms of emotional abuse—and also one of the most damaging. It doesn’t leave bruises. It doesn’t shout. It whispers. It twists. It makes you question what you saw, what you felt, and eventually, who you are.

This piece is written from the wreckage that gaslighting leaves behind. It's about what it feels like to give someone your light, only to have them use it against you. It’s about the confusion, the silence, the erasure of self that happens when someone rewrites your reality and calls it truth.

But more than that, this piece is about rising. Because even when your sense of self is shattered, even when you doubt your worth and your voice—there is still something inside you that knows. Something unbreakable.

This is the journey back to that knowing.

"Gaslighting doesn’t erase the truth—only your trust in it. But once you remember what you felt, saw, and knew deep down, you rise. Not as who you were before, but as someone no one will ever silence again."

There’s a kind of pain that goes deeper than betrayal. It’s not just heartbreak—it’s psychological disorientation. The kind that creeps in slowly, as you begin to question your instincts, your memories, even your worth. When truth is twisted, when intuition is dismissed, and when you begin to question your own sanity. This post is not for everyone - it is for those who have found themselves in that disorienting space, caught in the web of someone who weaponises vulnerability and connection.

This is for anyone—man or woman—who has ever been blindsided, gaslit, or undermined by a distorted form of feminine energy. And to be clear, I’m not referring to women who may have acted out of pain, trauma, or emotional triggers. We all carry wounds, and we've all made mistakes in judgment, action, or reaction as a result. That’s part of being human. That’s not this.

I’m talking about something darker. More calculated. The kind of feminine energy that doesn’t stem from trauma, but from choice. A woman who knows exactly what she’s doing—who manipulates, deceives, and destroys not out of confusion, but out of strategy. She’s charming, seductive, and spiritually hollow. She plays the victim when it benefits her, spins truths to divide, and smiles while planting the seed of chaos. She moves without a moral compass, seeing people not as humans, but as pieces on a chessboard to be used or discarded. This is the distorted feminine—seductive, strategic, overly charming and often masked as something angelic, nurturing or innocent, while quietly orchestrating chaos.

If you’ve been on the receiving end of this, you know how destabilising it can be. The confusion, the self-doubt, the feeling that something is off—but being unable to prove it. The sabotage happens in whispers, in omissions, in subtle games that make you question your own reality. And if you’ve never encountered it, it might sound exaggerated or dramatic. But those who’ve lived it know: it’s real. And it’s damaging.

This is not just something to listen to — This is a transmission. A remembrance. A sacred invocation for the Divine Feminine rising within you - no matter your gender

What follows is not a performance, but a mirror to your own becoming. It is an honouring of the holy grief, the ache of transformation, the fierce love that pulses beneath your pain.

Let these words move through your body, not just your mind. Let them stir what’s been buried, What’s been waiting? Not to be fixed, but to be felt.

This is medicine. This is reclamation. This… is the return to your sacred self.

This is about the Alchemy of the Wounded Feminine Energy within us all - despite gender....This is not just a conversation — it’s a remembering. A sacred journey through the hidden faces of the feminine in shadow… The places we’ve collapsed, performed, withheld, over-given, and stayed small to feel safe.

In this episode, we walk with the archetypes of the Wounded Feminine — The Good Girl. The Martyr. The Damsel. The Ice Queen. The Temptress. The Silent One.

We name them with love, not shame. Because awareness is the first key to alchemy.

✨ You’ll explore: – The many masks of the Wounded Feminine – How she shows up in our body, voice, relationships, and worth – And the sacred, slow path to reclaiming her power, her softness, her sovereignty

This is not about becoming someone new. It’s about unbecoming who you were never meant to be.

Let this be your invitation to return. To feel. To release. To transmute your pain into presence, and your wounds into gold.

🜃 This is feminine alchemy. Welcome home.

🌿 Welcome to The OM Collective 🌿 A sacred space for inner stillness, soul remembrance, and energetic awakening.

In this episode, we journey into the ancient and living dance of the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine — not as roles or genders, but as energetic forces that shape our balance, our being, and our becoming.

✨ You'll learn: – What these energies are – How they move through the subtle body – How to identify your dominant polarity – And why modern life often pulls us out of alignment

This is more than a conversation. It’s a remembrance.

Of the rhythm within you. Of the union your soul is always seeking. Of the truth that you hold both stillness and flow, fire and water, presence and surrender — within.

🌀 You are not here to become something new. You are here to return to the radiant truth of who you already are.

Welcome to Day 21 of 21 Days with Rumi — the soul’s return to itself.

In this final session, we reflect on the mystic guidance of Rumi, the power of inner union, and the quiet radiance that has lived within you all along.

This is more than a meditation. This is a remembrance.

While our 21-day journey with Rumi has reached its final step, this moment is not about endings — it's about integration.

It’s the space where reflection becomes embodiment. Where poetry becomes presence. Where wisdom becomes lived experience.

In this closing offering, we gently gather the seeds planted over the last 21 days: the trust, the fire, the surrender, the Light. And we ask… how can we carry this forward?

How can we walk not just with Rumi, but as Rumi — in how we live, love, speak, and show up in the world?

This is your space to rest, reflect, and rise.

🌀 Let what landed settle. Let what awakened integrate. Let your soul breathe.

✨ You are not just the one who listened — you are the one who now leads. Thank you for walking this journey. May it echo in everything you do.

✨ You are the Light. You are the frequency. You are the flame that no longer seeks — because it has awakened. ✨

Subscribe, reflect, and let this final offering settle deeply into your being.

Welcome to Day 20 of 21 Days with Rumi — a sacred journey into the heart of transformation.

Today, we enter the fire. Not as victims of change, but as willing vessels of alchemy.

In this session, we explore what it truly means to let go, to dissolve, and to rise — not in fear, but in reverence. We dive into the energetic intelligence of Kundalini, the sacred dance of Ida and Pingala, and the inner alchemy that purifies all that no longer serves our becoming.

As we surrender to this sacred burning, we awaken a deeper truth: What feels like destruction… is often the beginning of your liberation.

🔥 Meditation | Reflection | Inner Union 🔥 Let the fire rise. You are not being consumed — you are being revealed.

✨ Subscribe & turn on notifications to complete this 21-day soul journey. ✨ Journal Prompt: What parts of myself am I ready to release to the sacred fire?

Welcome, beautiful soul, to Day 19 of 21 Days with Rumi.

I’m so grateful you’re here — arriving in this moment of quiet reflection.

Today, we explore the sacred art of trusting the unseen.

The path ahead may not always be clear… but Rumi reminds us that life is always speaking to the soul that listens — through signs, through synchronicities, through the quiet language of light.

In this session, we’ll open to that divine conversation… we’ll soften into surrender… and begin to trust the unfolding of our journey.

So find a quiet space, take a deep breath, and let’s walk together — into the mystery, into the heart, into the Light within.
