Polyamory - one version of consensual non-monogamy.There are certainly plenty of people that choose an open relationship of one sort or another. Even though they're committed to each other, but by agreement, they are non-monogamous.Often what we're referring to is people that have been committed and decide to change the arrangement and include other people in one way or another.What is polyamory?So today's topic is specifically polyamory, which is one way of consensual non-monogamy and in general, it's it's sort of considered having more than one committed relationship.It implies sexual involvement, but also emotional involvement with more than one partner. There are a lot of ways to do this, but what we're talking about today as opposed to something like swinging which is more about sexual experiences.And sometimes those are shared with your partner or just an open relationship where everybody does what they want. There aren't really many rules.My guest today, Tamara Powell, is really a specialist in this. She runs the Arya Therapy Services and she provides holistic health and healing to what she says is a global market of nonconformists.Upsides and downsides to polyamory?We discuss the details on what it takes to make this a win-win situation for relationships along with covering some of the common problems it may generate.Who is it for or not for? What kind of agreements and conversations do you need to have what set you up for success? What should you be thinking about if this is an idea that you're considering for your relationship? Kids, jealousy, and more.This can be a complex situation and Tamara and I try to cover all the bases during this wonderful conversation.

Sexuality and spirituality are deeply interlinked topics that we explore with our expert Tamara Powell on The Spiritual Voice Podcast. Couples that can discuss religion and sex tend to be the most successful ones. Tamara proposes healthy safe ways for you to engage in conversations around these subjects. Our expert explains the importance of the first sexual encounters you've had. During periods of arousal the brain creates stronger imprints. By discussing your first experiences with your partner you can each become aware of the other's sexual scripts. This fun interview dances back and forth between sexuality and spirituality as we make parallels between them. Religion may come with a set of beliefs that doesn't agree with our sexual expression. How can we start exploring new sexual beliefs and practices in a way that doesn't turn us away from our religious groups and teachings? Listen to the interview to get practical advice as we talk about safety, mirroring, belief sharing, detachment, pan-spirituality and debriefing after a sexual experience.
