Podcast appearances and mentions of Barbara Carrellas

Please join us for episode fifty-five of Open Deeply as our guest, sex ed icon, Barbara Carrellas joins us to proclaim that ecstasy is everywhere, it has profound gifts to give you, and it's necessary. The episode is filled with her personal journey with ecstasy along with how and why it became her personal calling, a passion that has spanned decades and has brought ecstatic gifts to all who have attended her trainings or read her books. Sadly, most people don't even understand what ecstasy is or their view is incredibly limited. The reality is that ecstasy is expansive and accessible to you. Furthermore, ecstasy is found in unexpected places, such as on the other side of great suffering or soul wrenching emotion. We explore this phenomenon and why it occurs.

How can exploring your deepest desires transform your life?Jay House joins us to unravel her fascinating journey from Monogamy to ENM to a celibacy practice. Please join us as we celebrate the joy of human connections, the power of words, and the importance of staying true to one's core values in the journey of personal growth. We discuss Jay's journey from Mama Gena’s program as the beginning of identifying her true desires, beyond just sexuality, leading to a significant breakup and a redefined understanding of relationships. She shares her shift from being a straight, monogamous woman to embracing identities like polyamorous, ethically non-monogamous, and kinky, revealing the profound changes and personal growth that followed. Venturing further, we explore the realm of non-romantic, intimate spiritual partnerships, diving into the challenges of defining and understanding these unique connections. Jay discusses her bold six-month celibacy experiment aimed at achieving emotional and nervous system sobriety. She details the journey’s constraints, including avoiding sexual play and genital contact while still engaging in certain kink scenes. Together, we examine the potential benefits of this personal experiment, emphasizing self-exploration and the importance of setting boundaries for a focused and introspective path. Finally, we shift our focus to the critical aspect of integration and self-awareness in personal development. Reflecting on various courses and teachings, such as BDSM practices, shamanic kink, and urban tantra, we highlight the value of integrating this knowledge into one’s life. The discussion touches on understanding different parts of oneself and how this awareness fosters better communication and healthier relationships.

Get your hands nice and warmed up because we'll be puttin' them to WORK. This week we talk to Barbara Carrellas, erotic massage pro, about how to give and receive pleasure through massage.

How did the Wives do with their Tantric Sex homework?  Tune in to find out.  But first, check out this episode's Canna-cocktail, the Orange Berry Tea with a new nano-tincture.  Sip on this delicious cocktail while Kat shares her Hot Tale: a professional massage gets a BDSM vibe with cupping and scraping.  Next, the Wives report back on their sexy homework, inspired by Barbara Carrellas' book, Urban Tantra. Kat shares her tantra ritual with Mr. Kat, while Ams explored solo tantra, including a no-hands, Breath and Energy Orgasm.  Finally, the Wives give their tips on exploring tantric practices.  MORE ABOUT TANTRA The original practice of Tantra encompasses a wide range of beliefs, practices, and rituals, and its principles can vary among different schools and traditions. However, some core principles are commonly associated with Tantra: Unity of the Divine: Tantra often emphasizes the oneness or unity of the ultimate reality, which may be referred to as Brahman, Shiva, Shakti, or other names depending on the specific tradition. The idea is that everything in the universe is an expression of this ultimate reality. Energy and Consciousness (Shiva and Shakti): Tantra often conceptualizes the divine as a dynamic interplay between masculine (Shiva) and feminine (Shakti) energies. These energies represent the dual aspects of the supreme consciousness, and the practice of Tantra often involves awakening and harmonizing these energies. Sacred Sexuality: Some Tantric traditions incorporate rituals and practices that involve sacred sexuality. The goal is not mere physical pleasure but rather the spiritual union of Shiva and Shakti energies within the practitioners, aiming for heightened awareness and divine connection. Ritual and Symbolism: Tantra frequently employs rituals, symbols, and ceremonies to connect with the divine. These can include mantra chanting, yantra (geometric diagrams), mudras (hand gestures), and various ceremonies designed to invoke spiritual energies. Embracing the Mundane: Unlike some ascetic traditions, Tantra embraces the material world and the experiences of daily life. It encourages practitioners to see the divine in everything, including ordinary activities, and to use the challenges of the material world as opportunities for spiritual growth. Teacher-Student Relationship: Traditional Tantric practices often involve a guru-disciple relationship. The guru is seen as a guide and spiritual mentor who leads the disciple on the path toward self-realization. Non-Dualism (Advaita): Many Tantric traditions advocate a non-dualistic perspective, emphasizing that the ultimate reality is beyond distinctions such as good or bad, pure or impure. Practitioners seek to overcome dualities and realize the underlying unity of all things. Many Westerners have been applying Tantric principals to sex for over 100 years.  Some of these principals include adding ritual and mindfulness to sexual experiences, focusing on breath and energy, fostering a deep connection between partners and focusing on pleasure and ecstasy as opposed to orgasm. 

In this episode, Ams and Kat explore Tantric Sex.  Tantra is a complex and multifaceted spiritual and philosophical tradition that originated in ancient India. Tantric sex is the practice of using Tantric principles, such as mindfulness, breathwork and energy connection, to sexual experiences.  But first, if you are looking for a little buzz without the drawbacks of alcohol, why don't try this Canna-cocktail, the Hot Buttered Cider.  Mix one up while listening to this episode's hot tale: Ams, Mr. Ams and their friends have a grown-up sleepover, complete with Seven Minutes in Heaven: mini-threesomes while one person watches and keeps time.    Next, Ams and Kat explore Tantric principles and past experiences with mindful sex.  To learn more about Tantric Sex, the Wives interview author and educator Barbara Carrellas.  Finally, the Wives set themselves sexy homework, including solo tantra work, breath and energy orgasms and all-day sex sessions.  MORE ABOUT TANTRA The original practice of Tantra encompasses a wide range of beliefs, practices, and rituals, and its principles can vary among different schools and traditions.

This episode is Ariel's third on empowered dating. Do you need to know what you're looking for? Do you want to get clarity? Do you want to learn about different dating choices? Have you done monogamy or vanilla relationships and what to try something else? Ariel talks about these things but be warned, some of the content and conversations might be triggering if you're used to a very conservative dating lifestyle. Clear negative energy connections you experience while dating with Ariel's Violet Flame Relationship Clearing Practice. Ariel uses this and other energy medicine tools to clear negative cording attachments.

Hubbard, www.arielhubbard.com  I am, I am, I am a Sovereign Being. I choose the energies that are in my field. I choose the energies of Peace, Light, and Unconditional Love, and so it is.  (Say or think the name of the person you are releasing 3 times) At this time, I choose to release my energy from your field Bringing it back to me through the Violet Flame Where it is cleansed, blessed and purified. I reclaim my life force energy and my power. And so it is. Notice whether you feel a release physically, energetically, emotionally or spiritually.

To do with as you will.  I release it to you with love.   And so it is.  Notice whether you feel a release physically, energetically, emotionally or spiritually.  After which process did you feel more of a shift? That will indicate where there was a stronger cording attachment.  You may need to do this several times if the cording is strong.  Some people may seek to re-engage with you once you have released cording—be prepared and stay disengaged.  Or re-engage, but in a way that honours your boundaries.

Urban Tantra by Barbara Carrellas gives practical exercises for people to connect with tantric energy. KEY TAKEAWAYS Women are the essence and expression of the divine feminine archetype and there are a lot of expressions of that. And yes, everyone has masculine and feminine energy inside of them, but women are the essence of the feminine. There are different types of archetypes: the maiden, the mother, the crone, the creator, the sex goddess, wise women. You have those  qualities within you whether you're sweet and kind or criticising or manifesting and men, whether they're aware of it or not, are attracted to your sexual and spiritual energy. When you fate online men are trying to access this energy and they often do it by asking sexual questions. There are three groups of men: Men who want casual sex, men who want relationships, and guys who don't know what they want – these aren't guys you want to waste your time on. Cross those people off your list, your time is precious. The men who want quick access to your sexual energy are taking shortcuts by skipping dating steps. If it makes you feel nervous or afraid that's because it's not safe because they haven't taken the time or effort to build up trust. Once we're older and we exit a relationship (long- or short-term), it leaves us wondering what's important in life. You may have wondered if all the effort you put into your past relationships was worth it, or you might feel that you didn't get what you were looking for, or you might want something totally different. Give yourself permission to open yourself up to different possibilities. Life now is different to life in your teens and twenties and your desires and needs are different as well. Most people have grown up experiencing vanilla sex or relationships and they get into a rut where they do the same kinds of behaviours over and over again. They expect their partner to be monogamous and they may rarely or never actually talk about sex or their fantasies. This is one of the many reasons why relationships end. Men and some women do want variety and sometimes they get bored of the same persona and the same actions over and over again, not just sex but relationship actions too. BEST MOMENTS “Men have the spiritual energy of being a director or a builder, women are creators and gestators of ideas and men take and direct the energy that the feminine gives them and make it come into physical existence.”“If you're looking for casual sex, you need to be treated with respect with that even.”“Just because you might have been monogamous for years does not mean you have to have the same kind of sex or relationship life you had before. This is an ideal time to look at and explore other options.”“Kinks are a way of experiencing sexuality or arousal from something that's not normally considered sexual or sexy. Tantra is a way of working with sacred sexual energy (with yourself or a partner) to open up kundalini flow and your chakras to expand your spiritual consciousness.” ABOUT THE HOST Ariel is a Licensed Massage Therapist, Registered Clinical Hypnotherapist, Reiki Master, Empath and Psychic who has been involved in holistic healing since 1988.

We dive deep into Sophia's journey which included exploding and destroying the life she was living at 34 years old, and the many healing modalities she has since used along the way, including plant medicine, tantra, ecstatic and erotic dance and sacred sexuality. Sophia explains how she ignited her own feminine magnetism, opened herself up to living a desire-led, body-based & pleasure-filled life, & how she now guides other women to do the same.

Es wird Zeit, dass wir über Tabu-Themen reden! Warum wird Sexualität in der Gewaltfreien Kommunikation so selten erwähnt, obwohl es doch eins unserer Grundbedürfnisse ist?! Ich beschäftige mich sehr viel mit Sexualität und trotzdem habe ich mehr Fragen, als Antworten. Erlebe mich immer wieder unverbunden mit mir selbst oder meinen Partner*Innen, oder habe Schwierigkeiten Nein zu sagen. Ich stelle dir heute 3 Anwendungen der GFK für dein Sexleben vor: ✨ Klarheit im Geben&Empfangen. ✨ Nein sagen, ohne die Verbindung zu verlieren. ✨ Bedürfnisse im Sex erkennen und erfüllen. Episoden die ich erwähnt habe: #9 (8. Juni) zum Thema "Nein sagen". Buch das ich erwähnt habe: "Urban Tantra" von Barbara Carrellas. ----

Barbara Carrellas is a remarkable woman who has achieved so much as an educator, sex life coach, workshop facilitator and lecturer. It was my [Tessa] pleasure to sit down for a long talk with Barbara for the Open Nesters Podcast.

Building an intimate relationship often needs all parties involved to show some level of intimacy. To open up and let others in is being vulnerable but in order to do that there needs to be things like trust and acceptance which happen to be key factors in building intimacy. So in this episode we visit how vulnerability and intimacy go hand in hand and how they impacted our weekend trip away to Bend, Oregon. For more information on intimacy here are a few places to start:8 Books on Sex and Intimacy, recommended by sex educator Dawn Serra. This list includes inclusive, empowering titles such as “Ecstasy Is Necessary” by Barbara Carrellas.5 Relationship Books That Will Profoundly Change the Way You Love, a list compiled by relationship coach Kyle Benson. This list includes books that aren’t only focused on sex and romance, like the self-development book “SuperBetter” by Jane McGonigal.Consider individual and relationship therapy. By working with a therapist one-on-one, a family therapist, or a couples counselor, you can get some personalized insight on intimacy.

He has been involved in the field of sexual health and wellness for over 2 decades.

Buddhists don’t tend to shy away from talking about body parts -- but usually it’s more along the lines of meditating on things like spittle, defecation (otherwise known as poop) and the inevitable decay of the body. So where do sex and sexuality fit into this mix? Bottom line: how can we use sex to wake up? In this episode, I talk with dharma practitioners Devon and Craig Hase. They’re not sexperts by any stretch, but as a married couple who recently emerged from a year of monastic vows (which included celibacy), they’ve spent a lot of time exploring the intersection of mindfulness, meditation and sex. In fact, their new book How Not to Be a Hot Mess includes a whole chapter called, “Make Sex Good.” We start with a fascinating discussion about their own experimentation with esoteric, Tantric sex practices, but then veer directly into garden variety sex issues. It’s a fascinating chat, and I appreciate Devon and Craig being so open and honest on an intensely personal issue.

Continuing the conversation around Tantra, Nixie reads Chapter 4 of the book Urban Tantra- Sacred Sex for the 21st Century by Barbara Carrellas. In this chapter, we explore the power of sex and breathing. The breath is our life force. It is far too often that we are paying attention to how deeply we are breathing. There are often times we may even be holding our breath. What would it be like if we began to focus on our inhale and exhale during sexual intercourse?

To see the line-up for the summit and to enroll, pop over to exploremoresummit.com. And if you want to see the VERY HOT scene with April and Milcah, head to CrashPadSeries.com and join today. This week, Barbara Carrellas joins me to talk all about tantra. Her incredible, inclusive book, "Urban Tantra" just celebrated it's 10 year anniversary by releasing an updated 2nd edition. The new edition includes tantra for asexual/aromantic folks and an entire chapter on erotic massage for trans and gender non-conformity bodies. If you've listened to the show for any amount of time, you know that I adore this book and Barbara's approach to tantra. And, this week's episode gives you a delicious idea of why - it's so inclusive, so open, so welcoming, and absolutely designed for you to customize it to fit your needs, desires, and life. Tantra shouldn't be about certain positions, heterosexual bodies, masculinity or femininity and certain genders because it's a spiritual practice. And spiritual practices need to include everybody in every body. Grab the 2nd edition of Urban Tantra RIGHT NOW. Looking for my new porn workshop? Pop over here.

This week it's just you and me, working our way through some rad listener questions. Dave wrote in with one of the best complimentary emails I've ever received AND threw a few bucks my way on Patreon. Lala just found out she has HPV. She's brand new to dating after divorce and spending many years focusing on her kids, and she wants to know - is her sex life over? Can she find romance and love and great sex if she has HPV? I have so many thoughts, including checking out Ella Dawson and Ashley Manta as rockin' folks to follow who have amazing sex lives while navigating the world with an STI. Lovely J listens to the show with her honey. They can't remember the name of an author I recommended a while back (it was most likely Barbara Carrellas). Also, Lovely J is an inexperienced Dominant and her partner really wants her to dominate them. She's read some books, but how can she get some hands-on practice at being a dominant? My number 1 recommendation is Midori's Forte Femme weekend intensive. It IS possible to be a very effective, very sexy Dominant without it looking like the standard trope of a Domme you see on TV or at kink events. Jude is a white, middle-class woman who is new to learning about sex work. How can she learn more about why people choose sex work and what it's all about? It's critical to turn to sex workers themselves for their stories, for the lived nuance. All my book recommendations to Jude are below in the resources area. Frank wrote in needing help finding a way to get his wife to give him a blowjob. The advice will be disappointing, but it's the best I can offer when it comes to wanting something sexually from another human being. You have to be willing to talk about it - openly and without expectation or pressure. Kacey wants to know how common it is for women to have hair on their faces, cleavage and chest. Hirsutism can be caused by loads of things, and it's relatively common. Plus, there are so many women who are unabashedly embracing their rad beards and body hair and still having amazing sex lives and finding love. The Go Ask Alice article I mention in the episode is linked down below. Finally, K is having an issue with a butt plug. They can have anal sex just fine, but when you use an anal plug, it hurts on the out motion. What can they do? I have some thoughts. Yay butt stuff. Oh!

What do you do if you're in a new open relationship and it just isn't working for you? Can someone really orgasm without having their genitals touched? This week, Yana Tallon-Hicks joins the show and we roll around in all those questions and more (don't miss Dawn's story of aiming a penis). It's a fun, laughter-filled talk and it's clear why TEDx invited Yana to do a talk on sex education recently.

A listener question sent me on a quest to find some folks who could share their coming out stories, specifically cis men, and that quest led me to TT Baum. Several colleagues had the most amazing things to say about him, and when we finally connected, I adored his calm energy and beautiful openness.
