Rate this book
Experience the orgasmic rapture of Sacred Union with your Twin Soul and the Divine

• Includes practices in sacred sexuality, emotional intimacy, and soul awareness to awaken the Love, Power, and Wisdom of your soul, attract your Twin Soul, and satisfy your soul’s longing to reunite with God

• Draws on teachings from Gnosticism, Sufi mysticism, the Kabbalah, Kundalini yoga, sexual shamanism, the Egyptian Mystery schools, and Christ Consciousness

• Offers examples of Sacred Union, including Jesus and Mary Magdalene and Rumi and Shams as well as experiences of modern couples

Jesus and Mary Magdalene, Rumi and Shams, King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, Isis and Osiris--in these sacred unions we recognize the merging not only of Twin Souls but also of these lovers with the Divine. In Sacred Sexual Union , Anaiya Sophia shows this Holy Marriage, complete reunification with your Twin Soul and God, is not a secret reserved for the initiated or a tradition lost to the ages. It is a potent, living spiritual path enabling two beloveds to experience the primordial state of creation as one soul blessed by the Divine Light and Love of their Creator.

Drawing on teachings from Gnosticism, Sufi mysticism, the Kabbalah, Kundalini yoga, sexual shamanism, the Egyptian Mystery Schools, and Christ Consciousness, the author reveals the complete alchemical process of Sacred Union. She provides physical, meditative, and psychological practices that combine sacred sexuality, emotional intimacy, and transparent soul awareness to awaken the magnetic energies of your soul, draw your Twin Soul to you, and, with Twin Souls reunited, experience the passionate rapturous remembrance of becoming one with God. She explores ancient writings and rituals of Sacred Union--known as Hieros Gamos in ancient Sumeria, Sacred Marriage in the Kabbalah, Yab Yum in Tibetan Buddhism, and the Bridal Chamber in Gnostic Christianity--and offers examples of Sacred Union throughout the ages, including experiences from her own spiritual journey.

More than a meditative or yogic practice, Sacred Sexual Union offers a transformative spiritual path to embrace the threefold flame of Power, Love, and Wisdom and satisfy your soul’s longing for wholeness and reunion with the Divine.

About the author

Anaiya Sophia

16 books47 followers
Anaiya (Aletheia) Sophia is a Writer, Minister, Somatic Practitioner, Whisperer of Sacred Wisdom and Shepherdess. Her highly acclaimed books, courses, transmissions, retreats, and workshops focus on the unearthing of the sacred body, from within the light of the soul, and thereby embodying its somatic wisdom. These days, she ministers through the body, bringing people the experience of Wisdom rather than the understanding of it. That way, they know it for themselves and do not require or need recognition from any other source.

She has an intimate relationship with the land, especially the French Pyrenees, Egypt, and Ireland. All her work – writing, transmitting, somatic movement, storytelling, and teaching – springs from an irresistible communion with the land, and especially her goats. Every day without fail, she shepherds her goats into the mountains and valleys, which is rooted in as much as the myths and stories of the place as it is in a detailed knowledge of the physical and historical environment.

She has just completed working on Mary Magdalene's Audio Guide to the South of France, an evocative and expressive partnering with the mythic imagination and the land itself, and has currently published her latest book, The Grail King.

Anaiya leads workshops and trainings in Sacred Body Awakening and Sacred Body Deepening throughout Europe and North America. Throughout the summer she is mostly at home with her husband and mother in the mountains where they have taken on an almighty project – the restoration of an old Catholic summer house for children into the White Rose Mystery School, complete with chapel, Bed and Breakfast, Vegan café, Apothecary of Body Rituals and Animal Sanctuary.

They produce a large proportion of their food, keeping goats, sheep, pigs, and an assortment of poultry; in a large thriving permaculture garden/food forest. That long, hard work, which requires her to be outside in all weathers tending to other living things, as well as a continuing daily need for long walks to explore old, forgotten Cathar paths, caves, and mountains, has blessed her with a deep and nourishing sense of connectedness to the spirit of the place that she feels drawn to share with others.
Over time she has developed an oral message that stirs the remembrance of a continuous lineage with the Feminine Principle that, throughout the centuries, has preserved its spiritual dignity. She is here to deepen your spiritual journey and to offer you a safe space whilst doing so. Suppose you feel a calling toward a tradition strongly rooted in the presence of Mary Magdalene, the Gnostic Sophia, and Christ's early teachings. In that case, you will find a palpable vein of Truth surrounding her.

Her books include:
• Open your Heart with Kundalini Yoga (Harper Collins, 2002)
• Mini Size Me (Lulu, 2005)
• Pilgrimage of Love (Lulu, 2010)
• Womb Wisdom (Inner Traditions, 2011)
• Sacred Sexual Union (Inner Traditions, 2013)
• The Rose Knight. Part I: Sophia's Story (Barnes and Noble, 2014)
• Sacred Relationships (Inner Traditions, 2015)
• Fierce Feminine Rising (Inner Traditions, 2020)
• Mary Magdalene's Audio Guide to the South of France (2023)
• The Grail King. Part II: Logos' Story (Barnes and Noble, 2024)


Anaiya lives in the Cathar region of Southern France with her husband and mother. Together they run Les Contes, a B & B at the base of Montsegur where individuals, families and large groups can come and stay. Les Contes is a truly extraordinary place with an astonishing healing presence and is often said to be a catalyst for making important decisions.

Here you will find the Notre Dame de Sophia, a chapel consecrated to the Holy Spirit and the good works of Mary Magdalene, La Source de Belisama (enormous underground spring that fills a limestone basin), Le Jardin d'Eden (Johan’s Permaculture Project & Food Forest), The Mary Path (a mystical trail through the land), The Red Rose Cafe, the Apothecary of

Absolutely beautifully written. Anaiya is an amazing soul full of light and love. Her words run through you like a life-spring. If you get it, you get it. Highly recommend this book! This was another book that I really had to take my time with, putting aside to mediate on and really absorb not only what she was saying but the feeling she was expressing. Truly beautiful.
