Podcasts about Tantra

Fabienne Annick is an internationally respected sex & intimacy coach and experience designer whose work weaves together the worlds of eros, embodiment, and earth wisdom. Over the past decade, she has guided hundreds through her transformative programs, including Sexual Self-Mastery for men and Come Alive for women, helping them cultivate deeper self-awareness, mastery, and authentic connection. Her approach blends somatic healing, EFT, breathwork, Tantra, Taoist alchemy, and modern neuroscience, empowering people to experience sexuality as a path of health, wholeness, and awakening rather than performance or conditioning. Fabienne's mission is to restore harmony between the masculine and feminine- within ourselves, our relationships, and the world. Through her courses, retreats, and global experiences, Fabienne invites people to remember that sexuality is an extension of the self: a living practice that mirrors who we are and how we love. Her teachings support the integration of pain, shame, and awkwardness into authentic, embodied expression, helping people engage with their sexuality with integrity and depth.

We're taught that real love should feel effortless… but the truth is that long-term love isn't something you fall into and stay in automatically. It's something you choose, nurture, and return to — again and again.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples (formerly known as Get Your Sexy Back for Couples) , Kim & Roberto break down the fairytale myth of effortless love and reveal what actually makes relationships thrive: repair, truth, emotional presence, and the willingness to grow together.They share how old stories, early conditioning, and unconscious patterns shape adult relationships… and how choosing each other through the uncomfortable moments creates deeper safety, connection, and desire.This episode is a powerful reminder that the couples who thrive aren't the ones who avoid rupture — they're the ones who repair with intention and love. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy the belief that love should be effortless sets couples up for disappointment and disconnectionHow childhood stories, family patterns, and early relationships quietly shape what we expect from love as adultsWhy growth triggers old wounds and how those unconscious patterns show up inside long-term relationships.How repair is an erotic superpower and why it strengthens connection far more than avoiding conflict ever couldHow choosing each other again and again creates long-term love that feels grounded, safe, intimate, and wildly fulfilling Love isn't effortless… It's chosen. And when you choose each other with intention, your relationship becomes the most powerful place for healing and awakening. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

Ein Jahr geht zu Ende welches ich nur als Zerreißprobe bezeichnen kann.

Study bros, hormone hoes and biohacking bitches vs. my orgasms.“OH LOOK A NEW STUDY CAME OUT AND NOW HRT IS REALLY ACTUALLY SAFE!” “Look at my peptide stack!” “I need all these machines and tests to tell me what's happening in my own body” “I give my blood away in an ancient ritual every month to a stranger to be DNA and data-farmed and I call it empowerment!” Not even remotely interested. I f**k and heal myself instead. In this episode: Is “biohacking” just…taking drugs? Are all the “study bros” alpha males or just beta bitches? Hire a whore/commission a “study” Pledging allegiance to the gods of “science” Hey there's a new study vindicating HRT. Are you excited?!?Internal reliance vs. external outsourcingIs taking drugs for your entire life a solution or a Band-Aid? The magical f**k rules over all 

In this episode, Shannon sits down with Dawni Baxter — founder of a boutique marketing agency and a multi-passionate entrepreneur leading the movement in ethical, human-first marketing. Dawni brings a refreshing perspective to an industry filled with noise, inflated promises, and confusing pricing structures. Together, Shannon and Dawni dive into: ✨ How to navigate marketing relationships with confidence ✨ Why transparency and trust are the backbone of ethical marketing ✨ What to look for (and avoid) when hiring a marketing agency or contractor ✨ The power of outsourcing — even when it feels uncomfortable ✨ Why real marketing results require time, patience, and accurate data ✨ How fractional marketing directors provide expert support without bloated retainers Dawni shares why she helped develop the first global regulation for social media managers in the UK, and how her agency champions organic reach and integrity over pushy sales strategies. This conversation is a must-listen for any entrepreneur — especially solo retreat leaders — who wants to grow sustainably, avoid costly marketing mistakes, and build relationships rooted in alignment and trust. Key Takeaways Ethical marketing is about humans first, not hustle culture. Due diligence is essential — marketing professionals are great at marketing themselves. Trust your instincts: if a partner feels off, overpriced, or vague, walk away. There is no standardized pricing in marketing — and that's exactly why transparency matters. Fractional marketing directors are a powerful option for small businesses who need strategy without full-time overhead. Outsourcing is uncomfortable — but it's one of the fastest ways to grow as a founder. Real marketing results come from consistent data over 12–18 months… not overnight "miracles." Quick exits from misaligned relationships often save you more time and money than sticking it out. Listen to This Episode If You: Want to better understand Tantra from a grounded, professional lens.

When we don't have honest and open discussions, with close scriptural and lineage citation when it comes to the more esoteric dimensions of our tradition and heritage as śaivas, it allows for so much superstition! Now, many are under the impression that Vāmāchāra is nothing more than hedonism masquerading as spiritual practice! What Vāmāchāra is or isn't is surely not up to any one lineage to define but at the very least we can say: it is surely a lot more than just offering transgressive items like meat and wine! In this video, I argue that Vāmācāra/Kaulācāra is about bhāva, an inner disposition of fearlessness and intensity of devotion! While its true that almost all of our talks are given from a Kaula point of view anyway such that a playlist would be superfluous here, I thought it might still be helpful to have some of the more specific, focused and directed lectures on the more left leaning ideas and practices of our tradition all in one place for you! So here is a playlist for all our Vāmāchāracontent ! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Wer im Netz nach Tantra sucht, stößt schnell auf Angebote aus dem Bereich der Sexarbeit. Doch Tantra ist weit mehr als das: eine Jahrtausende alte spirituelle Tradition aus Südasien, die Körper und Geist in Einklang bringen soll. Y-Kollektiv-Reporterin Franka Frei hatte bisher keinerlei Berührungspunkte damit, bis ihre Mitbewohnerin Tantra für sich entdeckte. Martina hat sich vor zwei Jahren einem Lehrer aus Sri Lanka angeschlossen und gibt inzwischen selbst Tantra-Massagen. Sie sagt, die Praxis habe ihr Leben grundlegend verändert. Während Martina Ruhe und Achtsamkeit ausstrahlt, ist Franka eher der Typ Koffeinjunkie und Workaholic. Für diese Folge verlässt sie ihre Komfortzone und begleitet Martina auf ein mehrtägiges Tantra-Retreat. Dort erlebt sie Dinge, die sie sich vorher niemals hätte vorstellen können. Kann Tantra auch ihr Leben verändern?

So many people carry the quiet fear that their trauma makes them flawed… broken… or unlovable.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples (formerly known as Get Your Sexy Back for Couples), we bring a grounded, compassionate truth: trauma doesn't mean you're damaged. It means you're human. It means your nervous system adapted to survive.They share vulnerable stories, body-based insights, and the patterns they see inside couples' work. From the shutdowns, the reactions, the fears, and why these aren't personality flaws but protective strategies that were never witnessed or supported.This episode is an invitation into self-compassion, emotional truth, and the kind of partnership that makes healing possible. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy most people misunderstand trauma and assume it only applies to the “big stuff,” missing the emotional paper cuts that shape adult intimacyHow your nervous system creates protective patterns and why shutdown, defensiveness, or reactivity are intelligent survival responsesHow trauma shows up most clearly in relationships through conflict, avoidance, disconnection, and fear of vulnerabilityWhy integration and not erasing the past, create emotional safety, embodiment, and deeper intimacyWhat happens when you finally feel safe enough for your trauma patterns to reveal themselves in partnershipHow conscious couples support each other's healing through presence, curiosity, grounding, and truth Trauma doesn't make you damaged… it makes you human — and when held with love, it becomes the pathway to deeper connection. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

On the 8th day of the waning moon in the Vedic calendar month of Mrgaśirsha, we celebrate the birth anniversary of Holy Mother Sārada Devī. This an exceedingly auspicious a day for our lineage especially if not also for all worshippers of the Divine Mother everywhere in every lineage. It is a special day for everyone, actually, because today, we celebrate the "avatarahood" of the Divine Mother Herself! In 2023, we gave the talk The Tantra of Holy Mother Sarada Devi exploring Holy Mother's central teaching, "don't find fault with others/no one is a stranger to you/the world is your very own": we tried our best there to point out the non-dual teaching embedded in this seemingly innocuous, but actually theologically dense, teaching. Then, we asked Who is Holy Mother Sārada Devī? in 2024. With the disclaimer that स्वरूपं त्वदीयं न विन्दन्ति देवाः, "even the gods do not understand her true nature", we tried to sketch out a brief biography of this mysterious avatāra of Mā. Also, I thought it would be helpful to contemplate Holy Mother both as the ideal student as well as the Guru in Sārada Devī as Tantrik Guru. In this talk we encounter her emphasis on japa, that is, the recitation of the holy name as the centerpiece of spiritual practice. This year, I thought we'd do something a little more esoteric: let's explore the link between Holy Mother and various forms of the Tāntrik Goddess, with a special emphasis on the red-hued Jaggadhātī (who is very likely Holy Mother's ishta besides Ramakrishna and certainly her kula-devī, family deity) and the red-hued Lalitā Mahātripurasundarī (or Ṣoḍaśī).We also make a few etymological claims also about Her name and about Sāradā as the patron deity of Kashmir and also Adi Shankara's Śrī Vidyā stronghold in the south: Sringeri Math. You'll find all of our talks on Holy Mother all in one place here. Today is also the Feast Day of the Lady of Guadalupe! Last year, we gave a lecture called Kālī = The Lady of Guadalupecomparing the two! It is to this day one of my favorite talks ever! But ultimately, what can we say about She who becomes the very words we use to praise Her? Who can praise Her here? By Her power Brahma, Vishnu and I have taken our embodied forms! Who then can truly praise You, You who are prior to all of us? And yet, futile though it may be, here is our attempt to try to fit the ocean of your limitless Being into the teacup of our limited understanding! May all these clumsy words be like so many hibiscus flowers placed one by one at Your lotus feet in worship! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Send us a textShiva: Both Severe and TenderIn this episode, we explore Baba's profound discourse “Shiva – Both Severe and Tender,” which reveals how Shiva reshaped early human civilization. We look at how Shiva ended clan-based divisions, uplifted women, introduced marriage, and inspired unity across Aryan, non-Aryan, and Mongolian communities. We also discuss His revolutionary contributions to music, dance, and phonetics, and His creation of Shaeva Dharma — a universal, non-ritualistic spiritual path beyond all narrow sentiments. Above all, we reflect on Shiva's unique blend of firmness in principle and deep tenderness in personal conduct, a combination that transformed society and continues to inspire humanity today.

In this special episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on the explosive rise of the London School of Tantra and shares the behind-the-scenes truth of what it really takes to walk the tantric path. This intimate conversation leads you directly into her new private audio series, The Secret Diary of a Tantrica an exclusive 5 episode journey into desire, devotion, heartbreak, orgasms, energy, and erotic aliveness.If you've ever wondered what actually happens on the path of a modern tantrica… this episode is your invitation.

What if the very thing you keep trying to control is the thing that's silently keeping you stuck?In this powerful excerpt from our free masterclass Tantra Unveiled, Chantelle breaks open one of Tantra's most liberating truths: we don't transform by fixing, analysing or regulating ourselves… we transform by feeling what is actually here, now.She reveals why so many people spend years in therapy, mindset work or meditation and still feel anxious, shut down or disconnected:Because the mind keeps reliving the past and projecting into the future, and almost no one teaches us how to actually be human - how to feel our emotional body, how to harness our erotic energy, how to trust life instead of manage it.Today's episode breaks down the outdated beliefs we carry about healing and invites us into the questions that open the doorway to real transformationWhat if safety doesn't come from controlling life, but from meeting life as it is?What if your nervous system isn't meant to stay regulated, but to move - to feel both expansion and intensity without collapsing?What if the wisdom inside your body is more accurate than anything you've ever learned about yourself?Chantelle shares the core tantric teaching that changes everything for practitioners and seekers alike:“Suffering isn't created by pain - it's created by being in conflict with what is.”Instead of bypassing or analysing experience, Tantra invites us into radical honesty with the body:What's here now?Where does it live in me?Can I stay with it, without trying to fix or control it?For those called to the practitioner path, this episode is an initiation into the heart of why Tantra is not just another modality. It's the one that finally stops the endless cycle of fixing, analysing, and seeking. It's about becoming the kind of presence that shows people how to be alive, how to feel, how to trust themselves, and how to meet every moment without abandoning who they are. This is the level of embodiment, sovereignty, and honesty that clients are starving for because it's what actually creates lasting change.Tantra places the body the felt sense, the emotional truth, the erotic aliveness,  back at the centre of healing. It awakens practitioners into a modality that doesn't keep people in perpetual processing, but returns them to the knowing that they are enough, they are whole, and they are capable of meeting life as it is. If you can feel that the Tantric Path is calling you, we invite you to explore Module 1 of our renowned 18 Month Practitioner Training for free here. Resources + Links:Enrollment for our 18 Month Practitioner Training is open now!

In this second part of the archival conversation, Hareesh continues his dialogue with hosts Stuart Goodnick and Dr. Robert Schmidt, turning toward the dynamics of the energy body, emotional digestion, and the long arc of integration. They explore how unresolved impressions (saṁskāras) shape our sense of self, why true digestion requires presence rather than suppression, and how imaginal practices in Tantra awaken a more fluid and responsive relationship to experience. The conversation also touches on ego structures, relational practice, and the pitfalls of spiritual dogma, offering a grounded look at what it means to mature both energetically and as a human.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.Find out more about the upcoming retreats and pilgrimages at https://www.tantrailluminated.org/calendar.

Myriad Intimacies: Lata Mani “Tantra conceives the universe as sentient and all life forms within it as equal. This egalitarian assessment extends to all life activity as well. Tantra honors embodiment as sacred, the senses as a form of intelligence, and each living entity as existing in two interlinked triadic relationships: self-other- connectivity; self-other-divinity.”  Order the Book >>> Myriad Intimacies Lata Mani is a feminist historian, cultural critic, contemplative writer, filmmaker and transmedia explorer. She has published on a broad range of issues, from feminism and colonialism, to illness, spiritual philosophy and contemporary politics. She was on the faculty of Women's Studies at the University of California, Davis, when a head injury in 1993 catapulted her into the world of illness and disability. This experience inaugurated a new phase of physical, intellectual and spiritual transformation, deepening previous commitments to social justice in unanticipated ways. Since then her writing has drawn on secular as well as contemplative frameworks in addressing pressing sociocultural issues. In the last decade her work has expanded to experiment with form and genre in exploring synergies between social inquiry, artistic practice & contemplative philosophy.

We're continuing the Priestess Pilgrimage re-release series with one of my favorite conversations I've ever had — recorded in a tiny pink hotel room in Athens with my best friend, the brilliant and beloved Layla Martin. In Part 3, we travel through Crete, one of the last known matriarchal societies on Earth. Layla and I explore what happens when feminine spiritual authority isn't erased but honored — and how cultures change when women and men hold power side-by-side. We dive into the serpent priestesses of ancient Crete, the origins of Kundalini, the hidden role caves played in feminine rites, and what it means to turn up the dial on your own divinity in a grounded, embodied way. We also share the very human, very messy, hilariously sacred moments inside the cave ceremony — a reminder that sometimes the divine arrives with sweat, fear, laughter, and tourists stumbling through your initiation. If you've ever felt the pull toward ancient feminine wisdom or sensed there's more to your own divinity than you've been taught… this episode is a homecoming. In this episode, we explore: • Ancient Crete & what true feminine leadership looked like • Why high priestesses held political, spiritual, and cultural authority • The serpent priestesses & how Kundalini was encoded in art • How caves became temples for birth, fertility, sexuality & magic • Using psychedelics intentionally to awaken—not escape • Preparing your body and nervous system for spiritual expansion • The real, messy moments behind mystical experiences Key Moments: [00:01:13] Returning from Crete & why this leg of the pilgrimage mattered [00:03:59] The soul memory that called Emily & Layla to Crete [00:04:47] Gnosis: the ancient queendom run by priestesses [00:07:21] Minoan matriarchy & serpent priestess symbolism [00:22:39] Entering the cave — the womb of the earth [00:28:11] Sacred sexuality & psychedelics as pathways to the divine [00:30:27] The cave initiation: fear, clearing & cosmic humor [00:36:03] Preparing your body for spiritual expansion [00:52:21] Mystical states without substances [01:00:08] Meditation as the foundation for integration About Layla Martin: Founder of the VITA Method, Tantra teacher, and internationally respected guide in sexual, emotional, and spiritual awakening.

Post Nut Clarity: “It's that moment right after orgasm where suddenly you're like: ‘Why did I text him?' ‘Why am I here?' ‘Do I even like this person?'” The hosts share personal stories on when they experienced PNC... Some people feel zen. Others feel guilt. Others feel absolutely nothing. Casual hookup vs partner you're connected to - does it make a difference with PNC? When there's connection, communication, safety — the ‘clarity' isn't a crash. It's more of a grounded moment. When sex is not just release but connection, breath, energy… does the ‘post-nut' crash even happen? How queer men specifically can benefit from slowing down / intention-setting. So how can people shift their sexual experience to avoid that crashy, regretful, disconnected feeling?

In this episode, I'm sitting down with one of my absolute favorite teachers, Bibi Brauschka, for her third time on the podcast. So many of you have reached out asking for her to come back, so here we are.   We're going deep into something I've been exploring for over a decade—tantra, sexuality, sensuality, and how to weave it all together as a sacred practice. Not just with a partner, but with ourselves.   This conversation is about reclaiming that. And Bibi is debuting her brand-new system here on the podcast: The Erotic Spectrum—5 different types of sexual energy that correspond with our chakras and elements.   We explore: ✨ The 5 genres of lovemaking and how to embody each one

We're re-releasing this powerful conversation with one of my best friends, Layla Martin, as we prepare for our next pilgrimage to Greece in Spring 2026. This episode kicks off our Priestess Pilgrimage series — a journey into the mysteries, medicines, and feminine technologies that shaped entire civilizations. In Part 1, Layla and I explore what it meant to walk as a priestess, why words like witch and oracle were once titles of honor, and how ancient rituals using breath, trance, plants, and embodied worship were designed to help humans experience the divine directly. We also share why tens of thousands of people once traveled to Eleusis to transform their relationship with death — and why those same technologies are rising again now. If you've ever felt the pull toward deeper remembrance, this episode is a doorway. In this episode, we explore: •The true meaning of “High Priestess” — beyond trend, beyond aesthetic •Why the ancient “witch” was simply the wise woman and spiritual leader • How Eleusis became the epicenter of direct divine experience • The connection between plant medicine and early mystical Christianity • Why embodied spirituality threatens systems of control • The Persephone descent as a map for healing and power • How reclamation impacts love, sex, creativity, body image & sovereignty • The very real, very human moments of pilgrimage (including the porta potty initiation) Key Moments: [00:01] High priestesses & the origins of plant medicine as sacrament [00:56] Why Emily & Layla created their own priestess pilgrimage [02:40] Witch, wise woman, priestess — reclaiming the lineage [05:06] What it means to hold spiritual authority in your own body [07:02] How patriarchy severed women from the divine [08:05] The “religion with no name” — nature, cosmos, direct experience [09:41] The Eleusinian Mysteries & dying before you die [12:01] The ingredients, codes & hidden teachings of the Kaikion [15:11] Plant medicine, sovereignty & why it threatened empire [17:18] The psychological impact of remembering your divinity [20:03] Inside the descent myth of Persephone & Demeter [23:52] The moment the pilgrimage became hilariously human Layla Martin — Founder of the VITA Method, teacher of Tantra, sexuality, emotional mastery, and spiritual awakening.

There's a reason female orgasm is still so misunderstood... and Dr. Robert King is here to explain why. In this episode, Dr. King unpacks the evolutionary purpose of female orgasm, what scent reveals about sexual compatibility, and why most people misunderstand female pleasure. From the truth about pheromones to the science of squirting and the psychology of mate selection, this conversation challenges long-held myths with real research and insight.OUR GUESTDr Robert King is a lecturer at University College Cork (Ireland) where he co-runs the Master's Course in Mental Health. His lab has PhDs and others studying access to health care in trans populations, and Spree Killers. He has a recent book out called Naturally Selective, Evolution, Orgasm and Female Choice, which synthesizes and explains the last fifty years of research (including his own) into fertility related functions of female orgasm, much of which has been woefully misrepresented.DR. ROBERT KING

I'm just so thrilled about all the new Kālī content we've been putting out this past month, in the days leading up to Śyåma Kālī Pūjā, and the weeks after: First, in How To Get Possesed By Kālī we carefully explained what it is to be a paśu or anu, a discreet unit of consciousness (i.e an embodied soul or jīva) and then carefully pointed out why the ānavopaya is so suited for most of us, despite our pretense at high-flying non-dual philosophies! The ānavopaya assumes duality, individuality and the separate, external existence of God that can be invoked, evoked and experienced in the vigraha (image). We discussed how the goal of ānavopaya is a kind of immersion in the Goddess through worship and other techniques that can very well be understood as a kind of "possession" (aveśa) experience. Then, having explained all of that, we presented you with How To Get Started With Kālī Worship and also Who Is Kali? | & A Ritual to Invoke Her to kickstart your practice and for more seasoned practitioners, we even went over a A Left Hand Path Ritual for Kālī having given some nuance and context for it in Introducing The Left Hand Worship of KālīAnd for whatever reason if you're somehow not convinced about the power and importance of ritual worship in your spiritual life (because you're attached to some notion of non-duality or something, for instance), we make a case for it in The Essence of Tantra | & Why You Should Learn Pūjā. I think it's neat also that you can watch a demo of the whole pūjā (in an albeit abbreviated form) in Śyāmā Kālī Pūjā 2025. Of course, lectures like How To Say Grounded & Reasonable In Kālī Pūjā and The Two Extremes of Kālī Worshipadd further theoretical nuance to the very practice-oriented, anavopaya-esque discussions aforementioned and I am particularly fond of this year's Hallowe'en special Vampires, Kali and Christ | A Hallowe'en Special which was about yoginīs and what not but also touched upon some pretty deep themes regarding free will vs determinism ("my" will vs. "God's" will that is and if they can even be distinguished!).Anyway, in this class, I point out some distinctive features in Kālī pūjā like the ghost worship, jackal worship, cremation ground sacrifices, the transgressive offerings and animal/human sacrifice that give this pūjā and the Deity to whom it is offered its unique flavor! Jai Śrī Rādha-Rānī Ki Jai!Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Co-Host Catherine Auman (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/catherine) My first-time guest Catherine Auman talks frequently about "tantric dating", which involves dating with all five senses. As men, modern technology might very well have led us to focus primarily on seeing and hearing, forsaking the other three senses. So first off, what is Tantric Dating about in general? Why is being "friends first" so common in other cultures, but basically the relationship kiss of death here in the West? What do dogs know that humans don't, when it comes to Tantra? We hear all the time how we as men are "visual" when it comes to women and attraction. Is that actually all there is to it, though? And if Tantra is all about connection, could social media and the "pandemic of loneliness" explain much of the disconnect between our five senses and our dating lives? Is it true that today's dating world actually discourages people from meeting and having interesting conversations? How weird is that? How is being "spoiled for choice", at least ostensibly, ruining our ability to discern who's right for us? What's another way to think about how taste matters in the dating world, above and beyond the obvious?  And how can we as men become more sensual in general, to the delight of women? What are the ways most "normal" guys are completely missing out on the best parts of sex by rushing things? Why did we all miss the point of the movie 9 1/2 Weeks in the '80s? But then again, what do young adults know about sex that we tend to, well...forget as we get older and more jaded? Finally, is there any room in this discussion for a potential sixth sense? The answer may surprise you...and propel your sex life to new heights.

What if the reason people stay stuck, even after years of therapy, personal development, and meditation is because they've been trying to change themselves through the mind, instead of the body?In this excerpt from Tantra Unveiled, Chantelle Raven reveals the gap that most healing modalities leave untouched. She shares candidly how even with decades of trauma work, somatics, spiritual exploration and personal development, something fundamental in her system remained unmoved until she found Tantra.Here, Tantra is introduced as the missing link that brings transformation out of the mind and into the body. The path that doesn't ask you to spiritually bypass your humanity, but to feel it, liberate it, and trust it. The path that awakens emotional truth, inner safety, and embodied presence the qualities that allow real change to take root in your life and in the lives of those you support.You'll hear why the body is the gateway to lasting change, why shadow expression must be safely welcomed, and how Tantric principles allow clients (and practitioners themselves) to access truth, clarity, emotional release and empowerment that other modalities simply can't reach.This is the foundation of our Tantra Practitioner Training: learning to meet life, your clients, and yourself with the kind of depth that catalyses actual transformation.This episode is a transmission for anyone who holds space or desires to be of service: a reminder that real transformation doesn't happen in the mind it happens in the body, in the places clients have been conditioned to avoid, numb or override.If you're an aspiring practitioner or a seasoned one wanting to deepen your impact - this is the master key you've been searching for.Inside This Episode:Why cognitive understanding alone doesn't create transformationHow Tantra activates parts of the psyche and body that talk therapy can't reachWhat it really means to “feel what's here now”How emotional expression becomes alchemical when guided safelyWhy working with the body reveals truth faster than analysisThe balance of inner witnessing (masculine) and full feeling (feminine)The difference between trauma therapy and trauma-informed embodimentThe foundation we teach inside the 18-month trainingTop Quotes:“Understanding your past doesn't change your life. Feeling what's here does.”“The body remembers what the mind forgets.”“Tantra is life. It's the path where nothing in you is rejected — everything becomes your teacher.”“You don't need to fix yourself. You need to feel yourself.”Resources + Links:Enrollment for our 18 Month Practitioner Training is open now!

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with psychotherapist, spiritual teacher and mystic Catia Batalha to unpack what real healing looks like when you stop separating mind, body and soul. Instead of choosing between therapy or spirituality, Catia explains how yoga, Tantra, mindfulness and Western psychology can work as one integrated system for mental health, trauma recovery and spiritual growth. You will hear a very grounded breakdown of psychosomatic symptoms. How headaches, back pain, skin issues and chronic tension often signal emotional overload or misaligned environments. Catia also unpacks the sacred feminine and sacred masculine. How listening, intuition and sensitivity need to be backed by aligned action, boundaries and responsibility. If you are exhausted by surface level self-care and want a more honest, embodied roadmap, this conversation gives you a practical, spiritually aware framework you can actually apply in daily life. About The Guest: Catia Batalha is a psychotherapist, spiritual teacher, author and mystic who bridges Eastern wisdom and Western psychology. After years of feeling disconnected and numbing out with alcohol, she found yoga and Tantra. That work helped her move from emptiness and suicidal thoughts into a life aligned with soul purpose. Catia now teaches globally on chakras, somatic trauma healing, sacred feminine and masculine balance, intuition and consciousness, helping people remember their wholeness instead of trying to “fix” what feels broken. She is the author of “Echoes of the Timeless”, where she shares her own journey of awakening and the practices that rebuilt her inner world from the ground up. Key Takeaways: Healing works best when it is holistic. Catia shows how combining yoga, Tantra, mindfulness and psychotherapy creates deeper change than focusing on the mind or body in isolation. Your body is not the problem. It is the messenger. Headaches, back pain, menstrual pain, tension and skin issues can be early warning signals that your relationships, work or environment are not aligned with your emotional reality. We cannot out-think our emotions. The mind can insist “I am fine” while the nervous system is overwhelmed. Ignoring that gap leads to stress, burnout and psychosomatic illness. Sacred feminine and sacred masculine must work together. The feminine side listens, feels, intuits and receives guidance. The masculine side takes aligned action, builds structure and brings those insights into the world without controlling or suppressing them. Love is a nervous system strategy, not a cliché. When we treat love, compassion and safety as core conditions, the body can finally stop bracing and start healing. Spiritual practice can redirect rock bottom. Yoga and Tantra helped Catia shift from feeling half-alive, drinking heavily and considering suicide, into teaching, writing and leading courses that support others. Purpose is about contribution, not perfection. The real question becomes. how can my story and my healing process make life better for other people.

Long-term relationships aren't meant to choose between passion and partnership. They're meant to hold both. In this episode of Reignite Love, Sex, and Truth for Conscious Couples (formerly known as Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples), we explore how stability and spark work together to create a relationship that feels safe, alive, playful, and deeply connected.They share personal stories and practical wisdom from their own journey and the couples they support inside Phoenix Rising Retreats. What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why long-term love often drifts into “roommate mode”How stability without passion quietly erodes intimacyHow erotic polarity reignites desire  Why passion fades (it's not age or compatibility) and how to rebuild it through play, presence, and nervous-system safetyFor women: How pleasure, radiance, and aliveness return when you stop over-functioning and start feeling againFor men: Why presence and not performance is the most powerful sexual energy you can bring to your relationship.What are the simple, daily practices to restore both passion and partnership even in the busiest seasons of life Passion doesn't die with time... it dies when we stop feeding the fire.Partnership doesn't have to feel boring...it becomes magnetic when both partners choose to stay awake in love. Our Group Retreats at Phoenix Rising are now open for registration.Here's what you can expect at our retreats:A safe, intimate container where every couple chooses growthPractices that help you witness and be witnessed without judgmentOpportunities to see yourself through the lens of others' experiencesTime to integrate and connect privately with your partner This kind of reflection is priceless.It's not about being like anyone else… It's about finally seeing yourself clearly and choosing the way forward with your partner. How many times have you pulled away instead of leaning in? How long do you want that pattern to run your relationship? We're keeping this retreat small - just 5 couples - so you get the intimacy and support you deserve. Rooms (GeoDomes or cottages) are chosen first-come, first-served.

Some time ago on the 11th of September, we gave this talk on the very heart of our tradition and practice. September 11th in 1893 was the day Swami Vivekananda opened his transmission to the West (and the the world at large) at the Parliament of World Religions so for us it is a very sacred day when we commemorate the "turning of the wheel of dharma" yet again! Strangely, I haven't uploaded this talk until now. It felt fitting to do so since as I type this, we are in the midst of the vrśchika sankranti, that is, the sun's transition from the solar house of tulā (libra) and into vrśchika (scorpio) as per the Vedic system. Moments like this are considered incredibly auspicious for spiritual practice. There's also a flavor of a new beginning, of turning over a new page. As such, it is important to return to the fundamentals at a time like so there couldn't be a better moment for this video, I realize! In this talk, we describe Sri Ramakrishna's approach to Tāntrik spiritual practice which is really, at its core, the sincere and fervent performance of ritual worship, pūjā. If as a result of this talk, you're inspired to take up a dedicated pūjā practice, here is our playlist for step by step, mantra by mantra instruction for pūjā. May all be flame with awakened Consciousness! Jai Mā!Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Before we plunged into the fervor of Śyāma Kālī Pūjā, we paused to reflect on an important question that Sandhyā Devī astutely asked one morning which was more or less along the lines of "how can we verify the truth claims of the tradition"? "how do we stay sane, grounded & reasonable while practicing a somewhat radical form of Tantra?" "how do we know that our spiritual experiences are legitimate and not a function of delusion or egoic thinking?" (I paraphrase). Essentially, before participating fully in something, we have to ask if there are checks and balances inherent in the tradition to keep the narratives and the individuals who represent them grounded and accountable. And the tradition replies resoundingly in the affirmative! In this somewhat foundational and important discussion, we explore what some of these checks and balances might be and how we might access and benefit from them to stay sane, grounded, reasonable and safe even as we plunge recklessly into the fire of devotion like intoxicated moths! Support the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and again at Friday 11am PST Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrM

Silence feels safe… until it starts to disconnect you. In this episode of the Reignite Love, Sex, and Truth for Conscious Couples (formally known as: Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples) , we dive into the truth about the conversations most couples avoid and how those silences slowly create distance, resentment, and disconnection in love, sex, and everyday intimacy. They share personal stories and practical tools to help you find your voice again  and learn how to bring truth, presence, and safety back into your relationship. What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why silence feels safer than truth and how it slowly kills intimacy in long-term relationshipsHow cultural conditioning teaches us to avoid conflict and why that conditioning keeps us from real connectionWhat are the three foundations of conscious communication and how to rebuild them togetherFor women: how reclaiming your voice through body-led truth opens a deeper level of intimacy and desireFor men: why presence and not fixing is the most powerful way to create safety and connectionHow to start the hard conversations without blowing things up and how vulnerability becomes the path to reconnection The truth doesn't destroy love — it deepens it.When you speak what's real, connection returns. Our Group Couples Retreats at Phoenix Rising are now open for registration.Here's what you can expect in our retreats:A lakeside sanctuary with space to slow down and breathe againDaily practices that build intimacy, presence, and passionSupport from us in an intimate, like-minded groupNourishing meals, cozy fires, and private moments together with no distractionsThe chance to take everything you're learning back into your bedroom…and feel the differenceIf you've been waiting for the right time, this is it.Come and see how much more is possible for your relationship.Only 5 couples.

On the heels of my last podcast, talking about intense chemistry and whether it's a green or red flag, today I'm talking about the idea that relationships ought to be “SAFE”. I hear this word tossed around A LOT now. Everyone's talking about nervous system resetting and how SAFETY is the holy grail we all ought to apparently be looking for. I don't think it's safety we're after. It's something else entirely.

In this episode of The Retreat Leaders Podcast, Shannon sits down with Justin Gottlieb - a sexual freedom coach, Tantra practitioner, and retreat host who transitioned from the corporate world to full-time facilitation. Together, they unpack what Tantra really is (and isn't), how to maintain integrity in intimate retreat settings, and why it's time for more men to step into leadership roles in the wellness and retreat space. Justin shares how he and his co-facilitator Leola create transformational retreats rooted in safety, consent, and empowerment - and how they've built a sustainable retreat business model that honors both healing and profitability. If you've ever been curious about Tantra, gender balance in leadership, or how to elevate the professionalism of your retreat business, this episode is a must-listen.   Key Takeaways Tantra is more than sexuality - it's about energy, presence, and deep personal growth through mindfulness, breathwork, and embodiment. Safety and consent are non-negotiable: Justin and Leola's application and interview process ensures aligned participants and safe group dynamics. Professionalism matters: Transparent communication with venues and strong operational systems allow facilitators to focus on transformation instead of logistics. Masculine–feminine balance: Co-facilitation across genders can create more grounded and powerful retreat experiences. Retreats as a real business: Pricing, screening, and intentional marketing are essential to attract committed clients and avoid burnout. Episode Highlights [02:15] Justin's transition from corporate life to Tantra and retreat facilitation. [07:40] Redefining Tantra and clearing misconceptions about Neo-Tantra. [14:10] How Justin screens participants and ensures emotional safety. [19:25] The power of venue transparency and building trust with hosts like Retreat Ranch. [25:50] Why masculine presence is vital in retreat leadership. [32:00] Pricing, profitability, and shifting the scarcity mindset in the retreat industry.   Listen to This Episode If You: Want to better understand Tantra from a grounded, professional lens.
