Have you heard of the Taoist concept of Second Spring?Omgdess, I think every woman needs to know about this!Here are the Cliff Notes:From the Taoist perspective midlife and menopause are called Second Spring; a spiritual & sexual rebirth.Yep, I said spiritual and sexual.Second Spring is a time of life when a woman comes home to the sacredness of her body, rejuvenates from the inside out and sets the stage for a vibrant third chapter.She does this by embracing her sensuality and sexual energy as a spiritual practice. Like yoga.Your sensuality is not frivolous, your pleasure is the portal into you living your best life.Your sensuality is not frivolous.Your sensual pleasure is the portal into you living your best life.Your sexual energy is not just about sex.It's pure gold.It's your foundational fuel to living a vibrant, joyful, purposeful, passionate life at any age.Are you ready for your Second Spring?I thought so:)Let's dive in!Join my free resource library; The Goddess VaultLearn more about my Goddess School; The Vital Goddess Mastermind

Compassion is a beautiful human quality.It opens us into deeper experiences of love, intimacy and gratitude.Receiving compassion from others can be just the medicine we need when things get tough.Compassion feels good in the body and like a balm to the soul.To give it and to receive it elevates us into the realm of human spirit.When compassion enters the room it's like a deep exhale.And a candle in the dark.When someone offers us true compassion we feel seen.Like we matter.We feel connected.We feel cared for.Compassion soothes the loneliness of life.And brings a sense of camaraderie and belonging.We shift out of fear and survival mode and relax into safety, healing and recovery.Compassion is powerful medicine.It brings out some of our best qualities.Studies have shown that compassion is a natural human instinct.That it's vital for good health; the survival of our species even.And yet it can be so challenging to gift it to ourselves.Am I right?What if we could get better at it?Let's explore.Dive Deeper:Join my free resource library; The Goddess VaultLearn more about my Goddess School; The Vital Goddess Mastermind

We all know that feeling...Uncomfortably numb.We're so good at showing up and functioning in the most stressful and chaotic circumstances. Most women I know are masters at it.While this strategy of overriding our feelings and our bodies to do what needs to be done helps us adapt and survive, it's not a long term solution.When we go numb, we can't selectively numb.And there's a cost.A significant cost.To live our lives to the fullest, we need ways of breaking the cycle.We need pleasure.Let's dive in.Dive deeper:Join my free resource library; The Goddess VaultLearn more about my Goddess School; The Vital Goddess MastermindBook your free Desire Clarity Call here!

Happy Mother's Day weekend!On the one hand, it's a beautiful celebration of motherhood and on the other… well, it can bring up a lot.It's layered.It's complex. What I've found to be incredibly healing and empowering on my own journey as a woman, as a daughter and as a mother is to connect with the true power of mother.The CreatrixThe Great Mother within.The womb.The womb is not just about fertility.This goes far beyond the biomedical definition of Uterus.The womb is our chalice; our personal Holy Grail, our source of our creative life force and personal power.The womb by design can be a portal into boundless bliss and ecstasy.And our chief source of confidence in our intuition and oracular guidance.But it often doesn't feel that way.The good news is that we can change that.When we clear the stored emotion, stress and trauma (of course it's generational) we reclaim the true radiance of the womb; the Creatrix.I've got a simple practice to help you do exactly that.Let's dive in!Access the Creatrix Womb Ceremony here!

Drama.It's everywhere.It's expensive.It's exhausting.It's more addictive than caffeine. And the crash is worse too.Society runs on drama more than it runs on Dunkin.And it can run us into the ground.While drama is a part of life, it can be less so in yours.We can take the reins.Want my favorite way to pattern disrupt this madness?I've got you!Let's dive in!Dive deeper:Join my free resource library; The Goddess VaultLearn more about the Vital Goddess MastermindHere's a link to the Dr. Zach Bush episode I mentioned

Oy!The voice of the Inner Critic.We can so easily get duped into believing the bs, can't we?Nothing kills our joy and pleasure more quickly than unsolicited feedback from the Saboteur within.We tend to be our own worst enemy.And I'm yet to meet a woman who is immune.What we need here is a strategy.A simple, effective strategy to seduce that Inner Critic and get back to the business of living the life you came here to live.That's what this episode is all about.Here I'll share with you:Who is the Inner Critic?Why it's crucial to address thisMy own Inner Critic storyMy simple 4-step formula to handle this situation in a light-hearted and deeply feminine wayLet's dive in!Dive deeper:Join my free resource library; The Goddess VaultLearn more about the Vital Goddess Mastermind

Your intuition is gold.And it's so unique to you and you alone.Without a reliable connect to your inner wisdom you can easily lose the plot on your precious life.Why you're here.What you came here to express and create.What the next step is for you on this spiraling journey.We live in exciting timesAnd incredibly noisy times.It can be challenging to cut through the din and tune into the muse within.Even more challenging to trust that inner knowing when we need it most.Having a clear, reliable navigational system is key to you living the life you came here to live.And what I want you to know is that your sensuality is the ultimate hack for cultivating that.It can bring you in fast.I see it it all the time.Let's dive in.Dive deeper with me!Join my free resource library; The Goddess VaultLearn more about the Vital Goddess Mastermind

Do you want to up your manifestation game?Of course you do!You're not here to be a victim of circumstance.You came here to create.Joyfully create. Your desires matter.They really do.And you living into them plays an important role in what's happening on the planet right now.A new Earth is dawning.Ancient ways of being human are being reborn in new and beautiful ways.Venus is calling. She wants her crown back.

Beauty is a loaded topic isn't it?Brings up a lot.Which is why we need to explore it.Beauty has been hijacked and distorted. Almost beyond recognition.And what we see now (pretty much everywhere in society) is the toxic mimic.True beauty is sacred.It's is a reveal, not a cover up.Your essence dancing in your cells.It has everything to do with embracing your sensuality and pleasure.And nothing to do with "fixing yourself" or trying to achieve some kind of manufactured ideal of perfection. Beauty is a manifestation of the divine.Your soul shine.And of course it has no expiration date.Dive deeper with me:Join The Goddess Vault; my free resource library to support you on this journey.Learn more about the Vital Goddess Mastermind

If feeling irritated, wired and tired is your normal, you're not alone.If accessing your sensual pleasure and feminine flow state has been a struggle, again, you're in good company.We live in a world that makes feeling good in your skin a major challenge.Many women feel depleted, exhausted and done by the time they hit midlife.(Men too btw).Things are massively out of balance and it shows in our bodies, in our emotional state and in all of our relationships, especially in our most intimate ones.What's going on here?A chronic deficit.A Yin deficit. ☯️And it shows up everywhere.I've been studying, practicing and teaching Tantra and Taoist Sexual Yoga for about 20 years now and what I've seen time and time again is a massive over-polarization into the masculine/Yang way of approaching these practices.That doesn't work so well for most women.But we can change that.Let's dive in.Dive deeper with me:Join The Goddess Vault; my free resource library to support you on this journey.Learn more about the Vital Goddess Mastermind

Perfectionism is sneaky thing.It's usually creeps in during childhood as an attempt to feel safer in a world that didn't actually feel that safe. In response to a confusing and overwhelming world (even if our parents did a great job), our young selves can easily feel uneasy and take on a belief that if we do things perfectly, we'll get our needs met.We'll feel safe.We'll feel accepted.We'll prove ourselves worthy. We'll earn the love we crave.We'll be ok.It's a trauma response.And it shuts down our feminine and blocks our sensuality.Perfectionism shows up in many different ways.It hides behind all kinds of limiting beliefs and unconscious habits that can drive our behavior more than we realize. And drive us into the ground.Sabotage our creativity, pleasure and joy.Keep us from experiencing love, true intimacy and connection.Keep us from living the life we want to live.Letting go of perfectionism is a process; a healing journey.And while it's a common culprit when it comes to blocks to our sensuality, pleasure is actually the antidote.There are three decisions every woman needs to make about pleasure that can quell perfectionism for good.And open new pathways for joyful expansion.Let's dive in.Dive Deeper:Join my free resource library The Goddess VaultLearn more about The Vital Goddess Mastermind

If you're anything like most women in my world, you want to change the world.You know deep in your heart that there's got to be a better way.A way to create more harmony, beauty & love in the world.A way for all of us to feel more joyful, blissful, ecstatic even as we explore this human experience.You came here to this garden planet to fully live the magical adventure you signed up for.And create your life from the core essence of who you truly are.Although this knowing is hard wired into you, it can be challenging to access it in the current state of affairs.There's a lot noise.So many distractions.So much that can take us off track.So many reasons to choose fear over love.The world may be chaotic & out of balance, but we don't have to be.What give us access to creating the beautiful world we know is possible?How can we remember to stay rooted in & aligned with who we truly are?It's a practice.The power you hold is immense.And you can tap into it.But it's an inside job.Let's dive in!Dive Deeper:Join The Goddess Vault; a Free Resource Library for Your Inner GoddessLearn More About The Vital Goddess Mastermind My signature group program to embody the Goddess you were born to be.

These are no ordinary times.And you are no ordinary woman.If you've been in my world for a while, I'm sure you're interested in harnessing the power of the sacred feminine.That creative, sacred essence that lives inside of you.The energy that creates worlds and at the same time is uniquely yours.And I'm sure you're down for exploring ways to tap into more of that power.And live your life more aligned with your desire.From the inside out.This is where the Dark Goddess comes in.This inner wild one lives within every woman. And She's the keeper of our deepest desires.Society says that this energy is dangerous.I say, not if we learn how to harness this creative life-force power and get into alignment.We can learn how to integrate our Dark Femme in ways empower us and ways that feel good.As one of my teacher's once said: “Rage is passion without a place to play.”Ready to give your Dark Femme a place to play?Let's dive in.Ready to dive deeper?Join my free resource library The Goddess Vault

I'm sure you've noticed:We're bombarded daily with toxic, disempowering narratives on what it means to age as a woman. Constant attacks designed to leave us feeling invisible and "put out to pasture.”Fear mongering and "it's the beginning of the end" story?It can really mess with you.On a bad day, you may even start to believe all the bs.We've been trained to seek outside of ourselves for pretty much everything.It's a huge distraction.Truth is, everything we seek, we already have within us.Sounds cliché, I know but hear me out.What I've found to be true is that the third chapter of a woman's life can be the richest, juiciest, most fulfilling (romantically & sexually fulfilling too) chapter.I call midlife & menopause The Passion Portal.The call of the wild feminine within.Let's dive in.Learn more about the Vital Goddess Mastermind

The Taoist Jade Egg practice is one of the most curative and empowering practices on the planet for the female libido.So many women (of all ages) are struggling with low libido, unfulfilling sex lives; feeling numb, bored, exhausted or experiencing pain in their intimate lives.Some women give up on sex entirely.Some grin and bear it and get really good at faking.Many end up blaming themselves and feeling exasperated with what's on offer in the realm of modern medicine.There's a better way.What we need is paradigm shift.The Jade Egg practice just may be the silver bullet many women are searching for. But how you practice really matters.This is so beyond the Kegel.It's a mind, body, spirit transformation.The sensual initiation you never received.It's not for everyone, but it may be for you.Let's dive in.Join my free resource library The Goddess Vault (and get access to the Making Love to Crystals masterclass)Learn more about my group program The Vital Goddess Mastermind

Happy Valentine's Day!

The evidence on the impact our emotions have on our quality of life is impossible to refute. Our emotions play a huge role on how we feel in our bodies. Our health and vitality are greatly effected by our emotional state. Not to mention our pleasure, sensuality and intimacy.Emotions are a part of our human experience but how we process them (or not) is intrinsic to our wellbeing.We focus a lot on emotional release and alchemy in my work and today I want to introduce you to a woman who can offer you additional support around this. Beth Mielbrecht and I have been friends for more than a decade. Together we've often dove deep on topics like fitness, nutrition, holistic sexuality, pleasure, energy healing, relationships, parenting, astrology and so much more.Today I want to share with you a little of Beth's genius, magic & wisdom. For many years she's had a highly successful career in mechanical engineering (still top in her field) and in recent years she's launched something new and exciting.Beth is a Bioenergetic testing expert, CEO & Founder of Health with Beth, certified Health & Wellness Coach, and energy health innovator. But you can call her the Health Detective.I recently did her fast track program and was blown away by the precision and accuracy of my report. Needless to say, I'm already implementing Beth's recommendations and already feeling a difference in how I feel.Are you ready to dive in with me & Beth?Let's go!Dive Deeper With Beth:Visit Beth's siteDownload Beth's 4 Keys Guide to HealingConnect With Beth on InstagramConnect With Beth on FacebookDive Deeper With Dianne:Join the Goddess Vault; a Free Resource Library for Your Inner Goddess

It's so important to have a big picture, North Star, Goddess Avatar vision.But showing up in alignment with that vision on a daily basis? Doing all of the daily things?That's a challenge!No pressure but...we are emitting a frequency in every waking moment whether we realize it or not. And the quality of that frequency determines much of our life experience.Short term and long term.Ultimately how we "be" in all of the doing we do influences our long term vision being realized. Or not.As we navigate the business and busyness of our days, how we move through even the most mundane tasks, really matters.There is magic in the mundane, when we know how to look for it.And how to set the stage for it.The vibe we bring into any situation is powerful.And it's so easy to forget that.Without deliberate, pleasure-infused intention life can leave us feeling like a victim of circumstance rather than the Queen Creatrix we came here to be. What we need here is a little Goddess strategy.It's certainly not about being perfect, but it is about caring about and aligning with the vision of the Goddess you were born to be.And it can and should be fun.Ready to make some practical, everyday magic?Let's dive in!Book your free call with me here!Learn more about The Vital Goddess Mastermind here!Join my free resource librart; the Goddess Vault here!

These are wild times we're living in.So much going on.So much uncertainty.So many things clamoring for our attention & concern.It's huge.It's heartbreaking.And It can be so easy to collapse into overwhelm, fear and doubt.Have you found yourself in that dead end space of trying to make sense of all?Trying to figure it out?I hear you!We've been trained to rely on and over use that part of our brain.To go there for the answers to life's increasingly complex challenges.And I'm sure you've noticed, it doesn't really work.The more we try to figure it out, the more stressed & anxious we get.Not a powerful place to be.Here's a quote from the oh so quotable Albert Einstein that stopped me in my tracks the other day:“The intuitive mind is a sacred gift. The rational mind is a faithful servant. We've created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.”What if the solutions we seek are beyond what the logical mind can grasp?What if you could cut through the din and tune into the wisdom of the gift within?That part of you that just knows what she knows?And trusts that knowing? You can.And your sensuality has everything to do with it.I'm not saying that the problems of this world aren't real.They certainly are.But we get to choose how we show up.Let's dive in!Book your free call with me here!Learn more about The Vital Goddess Mastermind here!Join the Goddess Vault here!

Sometimes our biggest obstacles are hiding in plain sight.If you've ever felt stuck or stalled in manifesting the life of your dreams you're in good company.And it's not your fault.We're always manifesting.And we all carry unconscious & semi-conscious blocks that keep us in cycles of drawing in what we don't actually want. We can recite positive affirmations on wealth, health & love all day long but if our vibration is not in tune with our desires, it won't work. But we can change that.When we recognize the blocks we carry we can alchemize them.And get more in tune with our vision.And that's where the magic begins!Let's dive in!Want to dive deeper?Book your free Vital Goddess Strategy CallLearn more about the Vital Goddess MastermindDownload The Describing the Felt Sense pdf (includes the Shakti Meditation)Download the Abraham Hicks Emotional Guidance Scale pdf

When the book Eat, Pray Love came out I was worlds away from grabbing my passport and hopping on a flight to find myself.I love the book (and love travel) and I think Elizabeth Gilbert is amazing, but the adventure she so beautifully describes; one woman's search for everything, wasn't happening for this woman. Not then.At the time EPL hit the stands I was hitting the gas on my Mom Taxi hard.Literally and figuratively. I was in the midst of raising & homeschooling 3 boys (which ends up being my most profound spiritual journey to date), caring for 3 dogs, 2 cats and trying to keep that crazy circus running as smoothly as possible. Most days it didn't. 

Most people have a complicated relationship with desire.So many are running on an outdated, disempowering script on desire that's simply not serving them.We've been conditioned to be skeptical of desire, to short change, to shun it and even shame it.It doesn't have to be that way.We can live into a new enlivening and empowering script on desire.And set it free from choke hold of thousands of years of misguided guidance.We can choose to work with desire, not against it. And come more fully alive.Desire is sacred life force itself calling us forward to our next adventure.When we shut it down, we shut down.We lose the plot.And get really confused about who we are and why we're here.Desire is our direct line to the sacred. It opens doors.It keeps us alive and inspired; passionate about the adventure of life.When we get real with desire we discover that it's really not the monster it's made out to be. And it's really not that complicated after all.Sign up for the free Making Love to Crystals masterclassBook your free Goddess Activation CallLearn more about the Vital Goddess MastermindLearn more about the Goddess on a Mission Astrology Reading (Black Friday Sale code: BFASTROSALE)

Do you believe in magic?Do you believe in your magic?That's the real question. It's no secret that modern life can feel anything but magical.We can so easily find ourselves wired, tired, high and dry.Desperately craving the spark, juice, the aliveness and inspo that we know in our hearts is possible. Well, I'm here to tell you that the magic is in you.And you can make the bold choice of owning that magic.Your Venus holds the key.

What does sustainable pleasure look like?What would be possible if you had better access to more of your calm, ease, flow & wisdom more of the time?No matter what's going on.What happens when a woman truly inhabits her sensuality? We live in wild times, no doubt.In the chaos and confusion of the world it's so easy to lose connection to who you are.To be cut off from your inner knowing.Your radiance.The love that you are.It's often said that there is no "silver bullet"; no simple and seemingly magical solution to all of the complicated problems we face today.I actually believe there is.Perhaps our sensuality is the silver bullet we've all been searching for.It's certainly not a quick fix.But it may just be the “right under our noses” remedy that's so simple that's it's easy to miss and dismiss.What I want to offer you in this episode is an invitation to more fully inhabit your genius feminine form.I believe she's got the answers you seek.A pathway back to the garden. Let's dive in.Links for you!Explore Sacred Feminine Breathwork/Free Guided Practices Curated for YouCheck out th Vital Goddess Mastermind

Low libido is often described as one of the things that  “just happens” when a woman reaches a certain age or begins her journey into Menopause.If you've been handed the “it's the beginning of the end” script, you know how disempowering and even infuriating  that can feel. But low libido and vaginal dryness is not just an “older woman” thing.These days many women in their 20s and 30s are showing up to their doctor's office with the same chief complaints. I feel like it's time for a libido reframe.Libido is our life force. And it's multifaceted.It ebbs and flows. It can change with the seasons, our relationships, the quality of sex we're having and the overall stress levels in our lives.What if we don't need to boost anything?Maybe it's time to slow things down and simplify.To nourish, restore and replenish.To connect with our pleasure and innate erotic innocence.Are you game?Let's dive in!Claim your spot for She Rises virtual wealth summitSign up for the Nourish Your Libido masterclassBook your free 30 minute Goddess Discovery Call 

“Is it really possible to be in alignment with my deepest values and enjoy wealth and success in my business/career?”“Can I truly have more ease, flow, joy, love and pleasure in my life while doing work that I'm passionate about?”“Can I live my purpose sans the burnout? And have the time and energy for a thriving personal life?”As the world is changing sooo fast and old ways of doing things just aren't working anymore, many women I talk to are getting real with questions like these.Indeed, the old ways are crumbling, but what's next?What's the vision for the future? For the work and life you truly desire?My guest today Jennifer Whitaker is no stranger to hard times, personal and ancestral money struggles and limiting beliefs on self worth.After years of self-identifying as the “Queen of Stuck” Jen decided to dig deep, heal the unworthiness that was keeping her down and adopt a new identity…The identity of a Divinely Worthy Woman.At the core of her healing journey was connecting to her inner Sacred Feminine.She was inspired to enroll in seminary school, where she studied the Divine Feminine for three years.In her own words: “Connecting with the Divine Feminine felt like I was coming home to myself. I felt whole, alive, and more grounded in my worth than ever before.”Since adopting her new Goddess identity Jen's business is thriving. With no burnout.As CEO of her business, Wealthy Like a Woman, Jen now serves women who are ready to ditch the “Queen of Stuck” programing, claim their worth and rise into their highest level of abundance.While staying rooted in their feminine power.Jen's core message? You are divinely worthy.Let's dive in!Join Jen & me at the She Rises summit!Claim your spot for She Rises virtual wealth summitTune into Jennifer's podcast; Wealthy Like a WomanJennifer on InstagramDive deeper with Dianne:Sacred Feminine embodiment; Sacred Feminine breathwork, sensual healing arts & astrology to embody the Goddess you were born to be!Learn more & join the sisterhood here.

There's a commonly held belief that women are not as interested in sex as men are. It's time to bust that myth.I think what we often confuse as "not interested" is really "not interested in what's on the menu".It all boils down to the initiation we never got.Most of us have never been initiated into the sacred power of our bodies, our sensuality and sexuality and how it's all connected.To everything.Most of us have never learned to play our own divine instrument.And how key that is to not only having amazing sexual experiences but living a full, thriving life.We've been conditioned to come to the banquet of relationship starving.But it doesn't have to be that way.We can choose differently.And play on a whole new level.Let's dive in!Learn more about The Vital Goddess Mastermind:https://shakticore.com/vital-goddess-mastermind

(Many who thought it wasn't possible.)Through her work she recognized that a huge component of the epidemic of female infertility is a fundamental disconnection from the realm of the Feminine, including the body, the womb and the Earth.Which led her to her own journey into Yin, pleasure, desire and so much more.And that's what we're diving deep into in today's episode.Are you ready?Let's dive in!Connect with Ariele!Visit the Wisdom of the Womb site:https://www.wisdomofthewombonline.com/Follow Ariele on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/allwomenarefertileFollow Ariele on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/wisdomofthewomb/Follow Ariele on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@wisdom_of_the_wombDive Deeper With Dianne:Join Dianne live on Zoom on Thursday, September 26, 2024 at 6:00 pm USESTfor a free masterclass that might just change your life. ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️Find Your Calm With TRE:https://shakticore.com/find-your-calm-with-tre-masterclassLearn more about TRE:https://traumaprevention.com/

I have a vulnerable share.Are you ready?My very first Jade Egg sat in the drawer for months. Not days. Not weeks. We're talkin' months.Like so many women, when I first heard about the Taoist Jade Egg practice, I was intrigued.I'm a pretty holistic gal, so the promise of healing my pelvic floor issues (which were pretty bad) naturally, really appealed to me. I'm also kinda witchy, to be honest.I've always been drawn to ancient mystical practices of all kinds. Venus in Scorpio conjunct Neptune over here:)So working with crystals in this sacredly sensual way seemed so cool. The fact that the courtesans and wives of the Emperor's court in ancient China were into it? Even cooler.Making love to crystals to heal my pelvic floor?Sounded sexy and fun to me!I was so down!I waited with anticipation for my very first Jade Egg to arrive and when it did, much to my surprise, I froze!In this episode I tell the full story.Which I think many women will find relatable.Let's dive in!Dive Deeper:Watch the Open House Vid for The Vital Goddess Mastermind:https://shakticore.com/vital-goddess-mastermindBook a Virtual Coffee Date With DianneJoin the Vital Goddess Mastermind:https://shakticore.com/join-vital-goddess-mastermind

Desire. The very word has some charge to it doesn't it?Desire has gotten a bad wrap in many spiritual circles and in society in general but in the realm of all things Venus, our desire is gold.But most of us weren't taught that. Quite the opposite.What I've come to understand and live more fully into is that desire is sacred life force calling us forward to our next adventure and our next growth edge.Desire unleashed can be our greatest teacher; a fail-proof path to our authenticity and maturation as women.A way to give our gifts more fully and joyfully to the world.When we free our desire, we free our life force /eros and reclaim our direct line to the divine feminine.We access our deepest feminine desires through honoring our bodies and our emotions.Lots to talk about here:)Let's dive in!Let's dive deeper!Sign up for The Venusian Summer Series:https://shakticore.com/venusian-summerWatch the Open House Video for The Vital Goddess Mastermind:https://shakticore.com/vital-goddess-mastermind

When it comes to astrology, most people know their Sun sign.Many know their Moon and Rising signs too.But so few are acquainted with their personal Venus.To be honest not many astrologers give Her much attention.Or the wrong, “bad news”, disempowering kind of attention.Like “with your Venus in this sign, or with this aspect on your Venus, your love life is doomed.” kind of thing.That's dangerous advice.Venus is the part of your natal chart that brings it all alive.The part that gets you clear on your desires, turns on your radiance, joy, magnetism and creativity. She's here to offer you a way off of that hamster wheel of survival mode; of constant stress, resentment, numbness and exhaustion that we're all too familiar with.The part that makes your life magical.This essence is so unique to you; as unique as your fingerprint.And there is no “bad” or “weak” placement of Venus.But there are many variations on the theme.So many women are cut off from this essence; it's pandemic. And with the world we've been living in, that makes sense.But it doesn't have to be that way.I feel Venus has been the Holy Grail; the missing piece, that humanity have been searching for and starving for for over 3,600 years. Reclaiming Venus is central to creating a New Earth.“ Venus says there is no solution to any problem unless beauty & love are present.”-Caroline W Casey, astrologerI feel it's time for a reclamation.It's personal.And it's collectiveAnd you don't even have to be interested in astrology to have your very own personal Venusian Revolution; to cultivate an intimate and thriving relationship with the Goddess of Love.There are so many ways to connect with and embody your Inner Venus and have Her work Her magic in your life.We invite Her in through pleasure and ritual.Here I'll share some super simple ways to do exactly that.Let's dive in!Sign Up for the Venusian Summer Series:https://shakticore.com/Look Up Your Personal Venus:https://astro-charts.com/Check Out the Book Sacred PleasureView an image of the Poly Vagal Curve

Orgasm is a loaded topic isn't it?There's a lot here to unpack.In today's episode I share my thoughts and experiences on something I call the Feminine Face of Orgasm.The model we've been handed is limiting leaving many women frustrated and unfulfilled. If your experience of orgasm leaves you wanting more and  wondering…”is that all there is?”You're certainly not alone.And there is more. So much more.Let's dive in!Sign up for The Venusian Summer Series:https://shakticore.com/venusian-summer

Venus, Goddess of Love.Why should we care?When we think of the things Venus/Aphrodite represents; beauty, sensuality, pleasure, sex, passion, love and intimacy it's clear to see that these are themes most humans struggle with. But it doesn't have to be that way.This face of the Goddess has been dissed, dismissed, trivialized, commercialized and commoditized more than any other. I find that very intriguing.What was once sacred, and central to thriving  ancient civilizations has been cheapened and deemed taboo.Why?Maybe there's something to explore here.Could Venus be the missing piece?An essential element to the New Earth we're creating?I think so.“There is no solution to anything unless Venus is involved- unless beauty and love are present.”-Caroline W Casey, AstrologerLet's dive in!Sign up for The Venusian Summer Series:https://shakticore.com/venusian-summer

Taoist Breast Massage is one of the simplest and most effective ways to create safety in your body, dial up your self-love and radiance, process your emotions, balance your hormones, and nourish your libido naturally. That's a whole lotta bang for your buck!Breast Massage is one of the foundational practices in Taoist Sexual Yoga and an important gateway into becoming multi-orgasmic. A must for any woman who wants to reclaim her sacred femininity.Adding a regular breast massage to your routine cultivates the "love hormone" Oxytocin.Yes, you can create your very own love chemistry!

There was a time in human history where beauty, pleasure, sexuality and all things Venus were held sacred.And life was good.When the Goddess of Love reigned supreme, systems of true partnership flourished and the power and virility of the Sacred Masculine was equally honored and celebrated. These  civilizations were rich in sensuality, sport, ceremony, art and trade.Essential oils were used as medicine and in spiritual ritual.A  highly effective form of herbal birth control was traded for throughout the Mediterranean. Historians and archeologists say there is no evidence of domination or violence in the remnants of the art they left behind.Sounds like a dream doesn't it?Although we can't go back in time, we can find inspiration knowing that this once was a reality for some humans. And for a significant chunk of time.And pleasure was at the core of it.Can we reclaim what once was sacred, has been deemed taboo and restore it to sacred again?Is this Venusian Revolution for real?Absolutely!And you can begin by simply enjoying the hell out of your morning coffee.Let's dive in!Want to dive deeper?Sign up for The Venusian Summer Series:https://shakticore.com/venusian-summerCheck out Riane Eisler's book Sacred Pleasure here.

Happy Solstice!The Solstice portals are always a powerful time for me. A time for reflection and celebration.A time to release and re-align.This Solstice was super special for me as I had the privilege of guiding a group of amazing women in my community through a sensual breathwork journey.It was such a beautiful reminder of just how potent sisterhood can be.Maybe it feels so extra sweet to me because I didn't always feel safe in community with other women.I've heard from so many women who have felt similarly.I feel it's one of the most toxic aliments to come out of the patriarchy.But it doesn't have to be that way.If the sisterhood wound is a such a common affliction.

Venusian.After exploring many different styles of breathwork, I found that something was missing for me. I wanted more juice, more pleasure, more sensuality, more flow. What I was looking for was a way of working with breath that was steeped in the feminine principles of gently opening the body and receiving the nourishment and pleasure of the breath.I wasn't finding it.So I created it:)In this episode I go into the specifics of what that all looks like in my world.Let's dive in!Don't forget to sign up for the Venusian Summer Series!7 Free masterclasses to embody your Inner VenusWe begin on the Solstice (June 20th) with a Sensual Breathwork JourneyHere's the link to join us:https://shakticore.com/venusian-summer
