Name: Sofia Barbosa
Age: 34 and time less
Your sign:
Capricorn Sun, Virgo Moon, Gemini Rising.
I always mention those 3 because Mercury has such an influence on me, besides Saturn.
Where are you from?
A pocket of dark energy. A black velvet cocoon. That’s where I saw myself emerge from.
Where are you going?
Within. So I can pull everything towards me and I never have to move.
You have to engage your own gravitational pull.
Can you tell us about your work?
I once joked and said I’m a deep sea diver, but it’s accurate. I go to the dark places of the subconscious, where all the treasures are. Where everything buried and forgotten ends up.
I open a loving space for you, I see past the barriers you build. Everything I channel is what needs to be said and needs to be heard. I am a vessel that allows the pure Divine Feminine, in its most dark essence, to come forth and allow you to meet yourself.
All my work is intuitive and doesn’t fit any formats. It’s ever changing and evolving.
I don’t heal anyone, I make sure that you are always driving your own vessel. When you surrender it’s of your own wish and desire, never mine.
What does the Dark Feminine mean to you?
It means Life, Death, Love and Sex. It’s the darkest layer of the Feminine energy, the most vilified and misunderstood.
It’s the one that people keep locked away and denied fiercely, when all this energy seeks is your awareness and acceptance.
It’s the birthplace of art and beauty.
She is eternal and indestructible.
Talking about Her always moves me.
Why are we all ultimately perfect?
Because all life is. We just forgot. Now we are remembering that all is balanced.
When you stop pursuing an ideal of you and accept everything you are, you feel Love, and peace comes. And this is the perfect.
The moment you stop fighting yourself, you surrender to Life. You see that there’s a balance in everything. You enjoy and you feel every emotion. You’re open.
Perfect is our natural state.
Can you explain to us why there is so much beauty to be found in our darkness?
All art and all poets have been trying to go under and bring to us the different shades of this beauty for eons.
It’s unexplainable. It’s only felt.
You contain the source of life within you. Black holes, portals to infinity. When you open your awareness to this you become transformed. Everything is delightful. You feel your essence, and you see how the relationship you have as a vessel with this essence is unique to you. No one else has it the same way.
Beauty is looking at the broken, the forgotten, the deemed unlovable, the pain, the desires, the fears, the ugly, all of this overwhelming energy and owning it.
When you say: “This is my magic, I renounce none of it, I Love all of it”.
That’s the beauty.
What is a typical day like for you?
Devotion to my beloved in every form. Devotion to the Dark Feminine. To their union. To their essence within me.
Every day is an unknown. I write a lot and I feel everything, but besides that constant it’s all always changing.
Is there any types of healing that helped you a lot on your journey?
I never found one technique was powerful above others and every one has a different road map. The most important thing is that you find and respect your uniqueness and when you do, techniques don’t matter anymore, you’ll just do what feels right to your body and your heart. To reach that knowing: surrender. Let go of everything you thought was real, important, a need.
And dare to find the void. The place of nothing.
I meditated a lot and studied a lot of books on the occult and tantra but in the end it was Love that changed me. It was by loving what society said could not be loved that I found home.
What does divine union mean to you?
Source. Accessible to everyone.
Divine relationships are the future template because they aren’t a template. They are freedom. We are no longer bound by the need to keep any karmic contracts.
You can let go of the past and enter relationships of mutual choice.
What are your superpowers?
I prepare amazing magical baths. My chocolate deserts are alchemy.
I love to transform the everyday routine to make it ceremonial. I make the mundane seem magical.
Because to me, it is.
What’s on your music playlist?
Oh it changes all the time. Lately a lot of jazz, Lana Del Rey, Fiona Apple, Class Actress, Florence and a new Brazilian singer called Jade Baraldo.
I use music to channel so it’s whatever I’m guided towards.
Who inspires you and why?
My best friend. She is someone who went through so much in her life and never gave up. And did it with a smile. She took a situation that would break most people and found a way to reinvent herself.
My beloved. He showed me the beauty I carried within. He saw it when I couldn’t and he reminded me not to let it go.
So many other souls on a daily basis. People I discovered from Twitter. Those stories of “normal” people that are discarded in trade for the famous and rich. I don’t care for cults, so anyone that works in the shadows and never gives up, that’s inspirational. We have a lot to learn from each other.
Sometimes all you can do is show up, and that’s incredible to me. That we keep going. There’s beauty there, in that resilience.
What is your best advice for loving yourself?
Don’t delay it. Don’t think there will be a better moment, that when you have the right weight or money or person next to you that now you are finally allowed to love yourself.
Don’t think that it’s something you need to work for. Don’t think that you’re not deserving.
Love yourself now. Start now.
You can only blossom into what you desire if you bury the seeds deep, water yourself, if you allow the sun.
Nurture yourself now – because now is the only moment you have.
Has learning to accept yourself been a journey for you or has it come naturally?
A journey!
For most of us it hasn’t been natural, the word forgot beauty, forgot the perfection of nature.
We have been told to pursue a version of ourselves that would please others. That would be easier to Love. Easier to accommodate. So we shrunk and we accepted the cages. And we invited our suffering in as we went into our collective slumber.
We are now awakening and remembering how it felt to be home, and to harness this feeling within our bodies.
To recognize this energy. To be free. To be in joy and in pleasure.
All I want is for everyone to see their inner beauty and be moved by it, the way I was.
What would you tell your younger self?
You’re not crazy.
You made it, you built the world you desired. You live in magic. You are magic.
You are Loved.
We won. We are free.
