From Trauma to Transformation | ft. Gayla Farokh

In this powerful episode of The Inner Temple, we are joined by Gayla Farouk for a deeply honest conversation on trauma, healing, meditation, tantra, and inner transformation. Gayla shares her journey from emotional suffering, disconnection, and depression to discovering meditation and completely transforming her life. Through mindfulness, shadow work, breathwork, and tantra, she found a path back to herself—and now helps others do the same. We explore what it truly means to “drop your suffering,” how unresolved emotions shape our lives, and why healing begins with self-acceptance and self-love. This episode also dives into shadow work, the truth about tantra beyond misconceptions, and the power of creating safe spaces for deep emotional healing. From her experience in India to building Inner Self Beauty and launching the Lotus Lake House Retreat Center, Gayla’s journey is a reminder that transformation is always possible.
