In this episode, Usha talks with ISTA Facilitator Aya Kamānakai about reclaiming sexuality as a pathway to personal empowerment and spiritual connection.Growing up in the Christian church, Aya was taught to shut down her sexuality. As she moved into adulthood, she found herself unable to access pleasure in her body and had resigned herself to a life without it. This was until, in desperation, she sought out a sexual healer who guided her into releasing her full, orgasmic potential. Almost immediately, she was able to allow this release of repressed energy to literally pour out into other areas of her life: her relationships, her business, and her visions for cultural evolution. Sex magic, as she explains in this episode, is possible when we use pleasure as a doorway to whatever wants to be expressed. We can use the power that comes with this deep freedom of expression to bring what we dream into reality. Some of the topics Aya and Usha discuss are: The profound significance of Aya's first time squirtingThe connection between sexual energy and purposeHow self-pleasure works best when we don't feel like itFinding our easiest access points to pleasureHow you can transform any aspect of your sexuality, even physiological onesHow to access your sexual energy by yourselfAnd, as a delicious extra, at the end of the episode, Aya leads a beautiful meditation into connecting with life-force (44:00-49:00). About Aya:Allured by the wild and the beauty within us, Aya Kamānakai is a passionate advocate for embracing pleasure and reclaiming our sexual energy. With a deep reverence for ancient wisdom and a belief in the intelligence stored inside our bodies, Aya calls upon all beings, but especially women, to reconnect with their innate power and unlock their highest potential.

What if the love we seek is right under our noses? What if most of we've been told about our sensuality is simply not true and that pleasure is is actually the fastest and most powerful way to embody love, gratitude, peace and compassion? What if we were able to do a little myth busting and explore our pleasure through a different, sacred lens? Who would we be? What would we create?The Goddess of Love; a sacred essence that lives in all of us and was once revered, then dethroned, has not been fully anchored and expressed on this planet for thousands of years. There were times in ancient human history when Venus (just one of Her many names) reigned supreme, pleasure was sacred and life was good, or at the very least way better. (Riane Eisler's book Sacred Pleasure dives deeply into this.)Since then, we've been fed a strong narrative that pleasure is hedonistic, selfish, taboo, dangerous and among many other things. Certainly not anything a "serious spiritual person" would pursue. This creates a lot imbalance and toxicity. We've seen this play out in so many spiritual institutions, including the yoga world. Denouncing sensuality and sexuality on the one hand, sexual abuse and scandal on the other. Or, as in some Tantra schools, applying a dominator, top down/ Guru approach to sacred sexuality(not what Venus is about at all!)  and creating its own flavor of imbalance, disfunction and abuse.I feel that if we truly want to move beyond the dominator systems that have wreaked havoc on the planet for thousands of years and to co-create a new world paradigm based in love, beauty and partnership, healing and embracing our sensuality is a great place to start. We need to stop kicking pleasure to the curb and start seeing it as a legit spiritual path. We need a direct experience of it. It's an inside job.The yoga of Venus is making a come back.We've got some myth busting to do.In this episode I riff on:Prevailing myths about sensuality that abound in pleasure-negative societiesWhy we all need mindset work around pleasureHow some popular spiritual leaders miss the mark on pleasureDemonizing and bypass in the spiritual development worldThe problem with denouncing pleasure, sensuality and desireHow sacred feminine principles get dissed in most spiritual workWhy embodiment is so keyHow embodied pleasure cultivates joy, peace, pleasure and loveHow pleasure is the ultimate spiritual hackPleasure as a pathPleasure and embodied loveA simple breath practice to embody your loveWant to dive deeper?Check out the Pleasure Queen Activation Meditation here (7 minutes)Join my free breathwork membership; Shakti Core Breathwork Journeys

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite feminine embodiment practices: The Taoist Breast Massage.I've been practicing breast massage daily for years and it has completely transformed my physical breasts and my relationship with my breasts. It's also deepened my connection to my sexual vitality, feminine essence and my experience of pleasure.Breast Massage is one of the simplest and most effective ways to increase your self-love and radiance, balance your hormones, and nourish your libido naturally. It's one of the foundational practices in the Jade Egg practice and an important gateway into becoming multi-orgasmic.From the Taoist perspective, the breasts are considered to be our positive poles and the seat of our Love Chi for women.This is how we give our gifts to the world and where we source our love and nurturing for ourselves and others. When we are armored in the heart, energy gets stagnant in the breasts. This not only affects our physical health, but also blocks our love, joy, and creative expression.Breast massage circulates blood and lymph which is critical for breast health, but it also circulates chi or energy which keeps us vibrant and radiant.Breast massage also promotes firming and toning of the breasts.A regular Breast Massage practice is one of the best things you can do to nourish your libido.Here I riff on:The benefits of  a regular mindful breast massageDe-armoring the heartHow our breasts absorb emotions and energyThe breasts and heart as positive poles/how we give our gifts to the worldThe breasts/libido connectionGiving from abundanceBreast massage and the Jade Egg practiceEmbodying your sexual vitalityWhy breast massage needs to be about pleasureHow breast massage connects us to our feminine energyHow breast massage helps harmonize our hormones/The Love HormoneHow breast massage nourishes our libido/Yin PowerHow to do a simple breast massageHow to take it deeper with sensual ritualWant to dive deeper?Watch my video tutorial  Taoist Breast Massage: 7 Tips to Balance Your Hormones and Cultivate Deeper Self Love & PleasureJoin my free membership: Shakti Core Breathwork Journeys

If you've ever felt like you're being put out to pasture, this one's for you. Ageism is toxic and it can stop a woman in her tracks just when she's getting started. In this episode I dive into why I believe that sensual pleasure is the ultimate antidote to ageism.Fear mongering around growing older, especially for women, is rampant. It's really easy to buy into it and it's really easy to internalize it. And I think that's where it becomes the most toxic.Our bodies are always listening  and responding to our thoughts and the messages that come at us through society.  If we have a narrative of ageism running in our brain it's absolutely going to impact our physical health, our mental health, our radiance, our beauty, our libido, our creativity; everything. Ageism is a form of shame and it blocks our chi, our life force energy. As we head into the third chapter of lives we get hard with with it.Many women who  come to my work say things like: “ WTF…I feel like I'm being put out to pasture but I inside I know that there's  got to be more.” That knowing is the feminine speaking. The part in everywoman who knows there's more. And there is, so much more. And we have a lot more agency to claim that more than we're led to believe.It's no secret that ageism sells. There are many businesses that profit massively on women being terrified of aging. But it doesn't have to go that way. When we turn towards our sensual pleasure we take back our power. Pleasure is  truly the ultimate antidote.Here I riff on:The toxic narrative of ageism and how it impacts usAgeism and shameHow ageism turns us into cash cowsDefying the lie and claiming pleasureHow pleasure connects us to our embodied feminine wisdomEmotional intelligence and body wisdomPleasure and our inner compassYoni wisdom and seeing through the bull shitThe truth and wisdom of midlife rageDesire as a guideTwo recent examples of how ageism was coming at me and my Yoni steered me in right directionSome links for you:Book your free Pleasure Queen Activation Session here.I've got all the details of the Second Spring Queen Program laid out for you in a PDF manual.  Download it here

Have you ever wondered why changing your thinking is NOT making a huge difference in how you feel in your body? Like despite how much effort you make in trying to get your brain on board with the possibility of pleasure it still doesn't seem to FEEL much different in your body?This happens a lot. Mostly because we don't talk about the influence that the body has on the mind. Mindset and thought work can only take us so far when it comes to the experience of pleasure.In this episode I explain in detail how the mind influences the body and also how the body will influence the mind. And you will learn how bringing awareness to your habitual patterns will give you so much more opportunity for choice and creating the orgasmic conditions you crave.If you want to take these concepts, apply them and start to experience a whole new world of pleasure then you have to join The Turned On Woman. In this membership you will have an opportunity to get coached by me, be part of a supportive community talking about ALL things sex/pleasure/realtionships and more, plus have access to a whole library of learning, practices and guided meditations for you to feel lit up and vibrant in your sex life AND beyond.What You'll Learn from this Episode:Where I have been and what I've been up to!The impact your mind has on your bodyHow your body impacts your mindHow habitual patterns of mind AND body will show up and hold you back from pleasureHow you can work with your habitual patterns to create more pleasureFeatured on the Show:Summer of Lovin' the most FUN way to tap into your playful, sensual and passionate self this summer, offered exclusively inside the Turned On Woman.

And yet, when it comes time to "do the thing." whether it's a Jade Egg practice or any sensuality practice, you hit a huge wave of resistance. You simply can't find the time, you find something more interesting to do etc.Soon after your excitement of "hell yeah" to  joining a program, or starting a new practice, fades you find yourself wrestling with some version of a strong " hell no."Firstly, it happens to all of us. You're not alone. I have yet to meet a woman (including me) who hasn't had to meet her resistance face to face when starting her sensual journey.Secondly,  this, my friend is where the rubber meets the road. This is where the Yoni Yoga practice begins. Thirdly, there are ways to turn it around. In this episode I dive into this topic with gusto and give you some navigational tips so you can stay the course and get the goods you deserve.Here's what I cover:The main reason we sabotage our pleasureWhat does sabotaging our pleasure look like?Why most women's  Jade/Yoni egg ends up sitting in the drawerThe toxicity of feeling isolated in our resistanceWhy reclaiming our pleasure is a bold moveThe "no time" excuse and how to remedy itThe power of micro-dosing pleasureHow we actually create new pathways for pleasureHow resistance lurks in the subconscious mind and runs the showCommon myths/unconscious beliefs about our sensuality that sabotage our pleasureWhy dealing with resistance is simple but not at all easyThe toxicity of "Venus Bashing"How awareness is the first stepThe power of sensual mantraHow we are designed for exquisite pleasureHow to choose pleasure in the momentMy favorite somatic practices to shift to pleasureEnjoy and let me know how it lands!

Her expansive sex coaching methods help women tap into mindfulness and ritual to help them reconnect with themselves. She's been featured in Cosmopolitan Magazine, Glamour UK,  and podcasts such as “Doing It” with Hannah Witton, and “Am I Making You Uncomfortable” from Huffington Post.Join us as we chat about:How to create your own pleasure practiseThe different ways to achieve your big OTips for orgasming with a partnerBreaking through your own mental/physical barriersHow breathwork can enhance pleasureHow orgasms *actually* feelFun ways to initiate sexGaining confidence in the bedroomWe hope this episode inspires you to maximize your pleasure and prioritize YOU.For show notes and more adulting tips, visit:teachmehowtoadult.caSign up for our monthly adulting newsletter:teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter Follow us on the ‘gram:@teachmehowtoadultpodcast Follow Gillian:@yunggillianaireFollow Cailyn:@cailynmichaaninstagram.com/cailynmichaan/Follow Portia:portiabrowncoaching.com/@portiabrowncoaching

We're in the midst of a collective rebirth right now. A new way of being human on the planet is emerging. And healing our sensuality is at the heart of it all.We're being called into deeper intimacy with ourselves, with each other and with nature;   the beautiful planet we call home. During this transition things are bound to feel a bit (or a lot) chaotic. As things shift and dismantle it's bound to get messy. Healing is never neat, tidy or straightforward. We have to be willing to come undone, to somatically unwind, to be raw. That's all part of the process. And we were born for this.And yet...amidst all of the chaos it's never been more important to have a vision. As astrologer Caroline W Casey says "Imagination lays the tracks for the reality train to follow."  If we we don't have a vision; a clear read on our desires, we're going to end up somewhere we don't want to go. We may even get completely derailed. If you think that the manifestation game is only for millennials and the wealth coaches they follow, I hear you. There's a lot of noise out there. Some of it is a bit annoying, immature and misguided. So, dear Queen, that's why we need you in this game. Your vision matters. Your desires matter. Your turn on matters. Massively. The ripple effect you have on your domain is immense.I feel that turned on seasoned women will guide us through this wild mutation with grace and joy.  With the lived wisdom we've accumulated, the big love in our hearts and the creative life force of our sexual energy, we are indeed a force. And a source of much needed guidance for the younger generations. It's never been a better time to get clear on our vision and desires and get real with manifestation. When we power that with our sensual pleasure, we've got something really powerful going on.That's what this episode is all about; the power of intentional turn on.I dive into:How we sabotage gratitudeThe power of embodied gratitudeWhy pleasure is the ultimate manifesting hackThe frequency of visceral gratitudeThe ancient roots of sex magicWhy is sex magic is practical magicThree simple steps to manifest with pleasureHow to take it next level with a sensual ritualEnjoy!xo,DianneAnd if you're resonating with what I'm saying here in the show, I've created a free training for you to take it deeper. It's super juicy, and robust. A must-watch for any turned-on seasoned woman!What I cover:Why pleasure actually matters.What Sacred Feminine Energy is and how do we know when we're cut off from it.Why we want to tap into this innate sensual power within.Why midlife is the best time to tap into it!How we activate & embody our inner goddess.What the Taoist Jade Egg Practice is & why it's the master tool  for all of the above.Access the training by clicking below.

Sexual fantasies can be a lot of fun as something to incorporate into your pleasure and maybe even something you share with your partner. However, for many of the women I work with, fantasies bring on feelings of shame and judgement. A lot of clients are worried about what their fantasies might say about them and who they are, especially if it is out of alignment with how they view themselves. Let's really take a look at understanding where these fantasies come from and how to remove the guilt and shame so that they can be used to spark your desire and your pleasure and help you become a more turned on woman. I just recently created a new module for my group program. Better Sex in 90 Days, focusing on how to use fantasies as a path to your pleasure. If you are looking to connect with your desire and become a more turned on woman, I encourage you to join right now. I am amazed by the women in the group and the results they are creating, and I can't wait for you to join.

I was excited to listen in to Mangala Holland's wisdom because she knows a lot about pleasure and how to support people to find more of it in their lives in a way that is not about looking sexy for other people. No surprises then, that there is some explicit language in this episode.  Mangala is a Women's Empowerment and Sexuality coach, and facilitator.  She describes herself as being on a mission to help pussy-owners become empowered through loving themselves fiercely, celebrating their sexuality, and overcoming the fear, guilt and shame that keeps them playing small.What I love is that Mangala has a beautiful no-bullshit, fluff-free, grounded, dogma-free style. In this episode we discuss:How we can be confident in our sexuality, especially when we've been brought up in a culture of shameHow to move from numbness to pleasureMangala's journey to an authentic, flowing expression of sexualityWhy ‘shoving things up there' from jade eggs to performance enhancers can create more trauma and block pleasureHow sexual trauma can be played out in ‘healing' groups, re-traumatising and shaming those who don't perform as requiredHow to check-in with yourself and thaw out the numbnessHow to check for a ‘yes' before doing anything downstairsHow sexual problems are more likely to be to do with having a too-tight pelvic floor than too looseHow to build embodied awareness in your genital area and pelvic floorThe toxic power dynamics and abuse present in some tantra organisationsThe problem with selling ‘empowerment'How to tell if a training is safeMoving away from the ‘male gaze' to feel how we are from the insideAnd what happens when you are with another body trying to find pleasureAlong with lots more hot stuff and, of course, Mangala's top tip for increasing pleasure in your life.You can find Mangala's website and online program hereTo find support if you have experienced abuse in an embodiment, tantra or yoga class or workshop have a look at the Yoni Shaki Movement or Tantra Not Trauma Facebook group.You can also look at Somatic Experiencing, TRE or search here or here for a therapist that specialises in trauma.I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topics we discuss, you can message me through Instagram or have a look at my website where you'll find a wealth of free resources.You will find the podcast on Spotify, iTunes and many more platforms soon.

Most of us in long-term relationships have faced that time in our lives where it feels like all desire for our partners have faded away. Trust me. It's not you. You're not broken.

I think it's time we dedicate an episode to talking about one of my favorite topics, self-pleasure! When it comes to the thought of self-pleasure, shame tends to be the predominant feeling, and it comes from the ways in which we've been socialized and taught about enjoying our bodies. In this episode, I get into some of the specific beliefs that hinder us from being able to explore and enjoy our bodies, and then how to shift those beliefs. Once we're able to create that shift, it opens up the possibility of what sex and pleasure could look like for us, and then we're able to apply that to our sex lives in our partnered experiences! I also share some of the ways in which it could negatively impact your sex life, and some ways to get started.This is a topic that comes up with my one-on-one coaching clients, as well as with the women in my group coaching, Better Sex in 90 Days. I am currently taking applications for the next group session, which starts in January. To learn more or to hop on a call to see if this is the right fit for you, go to https://daniellesavory.com/group/Topics in this episode:Understanding why you're associating this practice with shame.The foundational belief that our bodies aren't our ownSelf-pleasure vs masturbateSelf-pleasure is an opportunity for you to be able to connect with yourself and your body in a caring wayThe goal of self-pleasureHow it feels to receive your own love and touchHow self-pleasure can help and how it can take away from your sex lifeGiving yourself permission to exploreAs always, it's been my absolute pleasure to share this with you. I hope that it helps you up your self-pleasure game, no matter where it's at. This is one of the most delicious and amazing self-care practices that creates connection with our bodies. Give yourself permission to bring this in as a regular part of your practice and have fun!

I interviewed one of my clients, Deise, and in this interview, you're going to hear exactly what doing this work looks like from the inside. In our conversation, she is open and honest about her experience starting from the first time we got on the phone, what motivated her to start this journey, the fear about moving through the good girl identity she grew up with, to now being completely transformed and on the other side. It can be hard to picture the before and after of what it means to be an empowered woman, and in this episode, Deise does such a beautiful job painting that picture for you. If you're ready for this level of growth, I encourage you to apply for the new group program I have created, Better Sex in 90 Days. It's the most comprehensive coaching program available to women to learn the exact process that I take women through, like you and like Deise, to have better sex, and to feel empowered and sexually alive. https://daniellesavory.com/group/Topics in this episodeDeises journey before coaching that culminated to make sex seem unimportant in her lifeCoaching through the fears and the stories we tell ourselvesDefining what is actually pain, versus a fear from past painThe journey of self-pleasureHow this work allows you to connect with yourself moreSex can be so much more fun when we're not dependant on the other person to meet our needsThe steps to gaining confidence and being able to communicate what we want, within sex and beyondWays to help get into your body and to enjoy self-pleasure and the connection to yourselfDeise answers the question I ask all guests on my show; how would the world change if more women were pleasured?It's been my absolute pleasure to share this work with you that Deise has done, and the transformation that she's had.

I was talking with one of my clients this week about last week's episode. Desire and drive are different because it isn't a biological need, but how does that change anything for us?

Last week I mentioned that I was doing a three-part masterclass: How to know what you want and be able to ask for it. What I'm going to do today is bring to you the first day of the masterclass, the foundation. Sometimes you have to look into what is going into the foundation of before you can even start the inquiry. When we're beginning with the inquiry, there has to be a level of comfort with your sexuality. So in this episode, I discuss how to start with the foundation of pleasure, and how to determine what you want. In day two of the masterclass, we covered the investigatoin, and day three was all about the conversation. Each session also comes with a set of resources that I provide to help guide you through to the end goal. To see all three trainings and get access to these resources, go to daniellesavory.com/training.Topics in this episode:How pleasure impacts so many aspects of our livesRedefining what it means to be selfish, versus selflessWhy we don't pursue our pleasure Be in tune with the tone of noticingThe reward of sexRegulating your nervous system, and it's role in pleasureHow to identify things we need to work on
