Podcasts about Tantra

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 illuminating conversation, Hareesh and Ācārya Malcolm Smith trace the philosophical and experiential meeting points between Tantra and Dzogchen, while honoring their distinct lineages. The discussion touches on the origins of Dzogchen, the role of direct recognition in awakening, the tension between conceptual purification and non-conceptual realization, and how both traditions articulate the play of emptiness and manifestation. Moving beyond comparison, the dialogue reveals a shared spirit of inquiry that transcends dogma—where luminous awareness recognizes itself through diverse expressions of wisdom.Discover more of Ācārya Malcolm Smith's work at https://www.zangthal.com/.

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.

Let's be honest… Tantra gets glamorized.People think it's about rituals, candles, and hours-long sex, but in real life, Tantra isn't about performance. It's about presence.In this episode of the Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples, we get real about what sacred sex actually looks like in long-term love... the raw, embodied, everyday version that deepens intimacy long after the honeymoon phase fades. What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why Tantra isn't something you do — it's a way of beingHow presence, breath, and awareness change everything in intimacyWhat sacred sexuality looks like in real life beyond the fantasyHow to bring it into the small moments of daily connectionHow Tantra becomes a living practice, one that transforms your sex life, your communication, and your relationship as a wholeFor women: How reclaiming your erotic aliveness starts with safety, breath, and letting go of performanceFor men: Why true masculine power is about presence, not performance. How to hold space for depth, emotion, and pleasure Sacred sex isn't something to chase.It's something you learn to live, breath by breath, touch by touch, and truth by truth.If you're ready to experience what this feels like in your own relationship, we'd love to explore that with you. OUR NEXT GROUP RETREAT IS FEBRUARY 12 - 15 AND REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!How long has it been since sex felt playful, safe, and free?You don't have to wait.Here's what you can expect:Practices that help you reconnect to your erotic alivenessA safe, non-judgmental space where nothing is “too much”Permission to explore intimacy in your own timing and your own wayPrivate moments where you can bring everything you're learning into your sex lifeThis is about more than better sex… It's about remembering how alive your love can feel.We're keeping this retreat small - just 5 couples - so you'll want to register early to get your choice of room (GeoDomes or cottage). 

Ospite della 182° puntata di Illuminismo Psichedelico, andata in scena il 26 ottobre al Circolo Arci di Settignano (Firenze) è il professor Bruno Neri, docente del dipartimento di Ingegneria dell'Informazione dell'Università di Pisa, che negli ultimi anni ha svolto una serie di studi presso l'insediamento Tibetano di Bylakuppe, in India. Il professor Neri è stato ospite dell'Università monastica di Sera Jey, nell'ambito di una convenzione di studio e ricerca con l'Ateneo pisano, l'attività di indagine di Bruno Neri ha avuto come oggetto l'analisi degli effetti degli stati non ordinari di coscienza indotti mediante pratiche meditative sull'attività cerebrale. In questa puntata, oltre ai risultati del suo lavoro, abbiamo parlato di stati espansi di coscienza (meditazione profonda, tantra, psichedelia ed esperienze di premorte), modelli di coscienza e stati espansi, partendo dal lavoro del capostipite della psicologia statunitense, William James; e delle esperienze di Federico Faggin, partendo dal suo concetto di mente quantica.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host Modern Tantra can be misunderstood — it's not about performance or technique, but about energy and awareness. When we misuse Tantra, we block the very energy we're trying to awaken. To deepen connection, we must learn what not to do: control, compare, or chase outcomes. Discover the five biggest pitfalls in Tantra practice and how to cultivate true energetic intimacy. We'll explore ways to harmonize energy through presence, heart connection, and surrender. In this episode: The 5 don'ts of modern Tantra How to feel and circulate energy safely Simple breath and eye-gazing techniques Join Milica Jelenic, Holistic Health Practitioner and Sex & Intimacy Coach, on this episode of The Pleasure Zone where Milica will teach you the "5 Dont's Of Modern Tantra."

What is pleasure? Have you ever noticed that what is pleasing to one body is not necessarily pleasing to all bodies? What if our bodies like to be pleasing and to gift pleasure to others and to receive pleasure? In this show we will explore the world of pleasure. If your body was sensing pleasure more often would your life have more ease? We start out with magical little bodies that turn on everybody. Babies are always having people come up to them and compliment them on their beauty and get really excited to be in their presence. What would the world be like if we stopped judging ourselves, our bodies and others? How much more fun, joy and pleasure is possible on this planet if we choose to be explorers? Whose ready for an adventure??? Milica Jelenic is an advocate for pleasure. In her private practice she invites clients to create life and lifestyle that offers more pleasure and vitality. Milica's intuitive ability to sense where change is possible and to question what is stuck in the target area creates a very dynamic session that promotes choice, possibility and change.   Milica has impacted the lives and health of individuals both in Canada and abroad with her humor, kindness, gentleness, potency and intensity.

Send Us a Message!Pleasure feels different when it's allowed to rise from root to crown. We take you inside sacred sexuality through a clear, no-dogma tour of the seven chakras and show how breath, sound, and movement unlock whole-body arousal, deeper consent, and a more creative, connected sex life. Christine Renee and Jim Macdonald share personal stories from years of Reiki, chakra facilitation, and tantra training, then map sacred sexuality across the body's energy centers: root safety, sacral sensuality, solar plexus confidence and boundaries, heart connection, throat honesty and listening, third eye perception and imagination, and crown-level awareness and oneness.Along the way, we explore the “inner flute” (shushumna nadi) for moving energy through the body, and why tears or resistance can be signs of energetic release rather than failure.In this episode we explore:Defining chakras without dogma and why multiple models existRoot safety and sacral sensuality as the base of desireSolar plexus confidence and boundaries shaping consentHeart connection, reciprocity and living life fullyThroat honesty, listening and sound as energy moversThird eye perception, imagination and spontaneous flowCrown awareness, oneness and whole-body ecstasyInner flute energy channelBreath, sound and movement as tantric keysSolo versus partnered practice and honoring your noMasterclass structure, bonuses and office hoursIf you enjoy this, please check out our five-week Intro to Tantra masterclass starting November 5th, which is this Wednesday!https://moonrisinginstitute.circle.so/c/intro-to-tantraAnd be sure to subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review so others can find the show.Moon Rising Shamanic Institute Links:Website: https://moonrisinginstitute.com/Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/moonrisinginstituteFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/moonrisingmysticsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/moonrising.instituteYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@moonrisinginstituteSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://moonrisinginstitute.kit.com/spiritguide Book a session with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/90-minutes-intensiveBook a FREE 10 minute connect call with Christine: https://calendly.com/christinerenee/10-minute-connect-call-srpt

Send us a textWhat if fire isn't just heat, but a teacher with a memory as old as time? We sit down with Katia—psychotherapist, yoga teacher, and Tantra practitioner—to explore the element that forged our tools, cooked our food, and still tempers our courage. Together we unpack how ceremony, reciprocity, and embodied practice transform fire from a resource we use into a relationship that reshapes us.We start by reframing fire as a single, living spirit present in every flame. That shift leads to practical protocols you can apply today: how to approach a fire with respect, why offerings matter, and how group ceremony protects the sacred line between each person and the flame. Katia then shares a personal turning point—loss that reduced life to ashes—and how that destruction cleared ground for a new path rooted in yoga, indigenous wisdom, and service. From there, we get tactical. Manipura, the solar plexus chakra, governs will and healthy power; when it's out of balance, anger and control take over. Katia maps simple, precise yoga postures that help balance each chakra, explaining how long holds act as portals to distinct states and emotional integration.We also look at why many of us get stuck in trauma talk and how Tantra offers a complementary route: changing resonance. Instead of rehearsing pain endlessly, we train the nervous system to embody courage, compassion, and self-worth while still honoring shadow work. Sweat lodges and temazcals show up as fierce teachers—dark, hot, and profoundly cleansing—capable of catalyzing shifts that talking alone can't touch. To ground it all, we share a new-moon fire ritual for release and creation, plus a guided transmission you can repeat: light a candle, feel the difference, and meet the spirit of fire with gratitude.If fire built our world, what world are we building with our fire? Listen, try the practices, and tell us what you choose to feed. If this conversation sparked something, subscribe, share with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more seekers can find the show.Meet the Guest - Catia Batalha

We dive into what it means to be a dakini, how trauma and desire manifest in the body, and how presence, breath, and pleasure can become a form of medicine.Liv shares her four-step sensual medicine therapy process, how to expand your capacity to feel, and the truth about the body's innate wisdom to heal through sound, movement, and conscious touch.Timestamps:00:00 – Welcoming back Liv Pavlov: the first three-peat guest 01:24 – What is a Dakini? 03:37 – Tantra defined: weaving together all parts of the self06:02 – The deeper purpose of tantric bodywork beyond the erotic07:28 – How to bring more presence into intimacy08:54 – The power of breath and awareness09:44 – Liv's 4-step Sensual Medicine Therapy method12:06 – Eros as life-force energy: reclaiming your erotic aliveness13:10 – Tantric practices for mothers and busy women15:34 – Mirror work and five-minute sensual practices16:43 – Yoni eggs, postpartum healing, and energetic cleansing18:08 – Trauma and ancestral memory in the body20:23 – How Tantric touch releases tension and stored emotion22:46 – Why the body doesn't need the story to heal24:39 – What to know before receiving Tantric Bodywork26:16 – The naturalness of Tantra and returning to ancient wisdom28:09 – Lightning Round: hips, pleasure, and peaking practices30:19 – How to work with Liv and learn moreConnect with Liv:IG: https://www.instagram.com/livlovetantraWebsite: https://www.oliviapavlov.com/Connect with Kristin:WebsiteInstagramYouTube Kristin's Best-Selling Book:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sex, Drugs, & Soul on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify Audiobook Link⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the Podcast:YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For 10% off pleasure goodies at WAANDS, use code SEXDRUGSSOUL.

Creativity is how we liberate ourselves from the pattern of the past. It's how we break through glass ceilings in our personal and professional lives. It's how we leave a mark on culture. It's the key ingredient in the better storytelling that the world badly needs to galvanize toward a more utopian future. It's what we desperately need to build and preserve wealth in the insidious economy of modernity. And human creativity is, I might argue, our only hope of staying ahead of AI as it devours more and more of the digital world.I did some public speaking at a great event here in Sofia. In just about 8 minutes, I broke down my best creativity Biohacks - from frequencies and flow state to Tantra (I did my damndest to "keep it PG-13!") and then did some live Q&A with the audience.Read

A iluminação não é uma meta a ser alcançada, mas o reconhecimento do que já somos. Otávio Leal explica como tradições como o Zen, o Tantra e o Vedanta abordam o fim das buscas espirituais — e como aceitar quem somos é, em si, o estado iluminado. Ele também fala sobre os “caminhos fácil e difícil” da iluminação, a ilusão da evolução espiritual e a profunda entrega à vida como ela é.✨ Uma reflexão sobre o que realmente significa “acordar” e reconhecer o Buda que já habita em nós.

Send Us a Message!What if six simple breaths could flip your system from scattered to centered and prime your body for real energetic change? Christine Renee explores how intentional breathing supports Shamanic Reiki—from using the exhale to help clients release stagnant energy to a full microcosmic orbit practice that “power washes” your chakras with focus and care. She then maps the microcosmic orbit: inhale up the back, exhale down the front, visualize a Reiki energy ball tracing the loop, and add gentle locks at the palate and root to concentrate flow. Layer in earth energy from below and source from above, and the circuit becomes a steady river rather than a trickle. Then bring in Tantra's three keys—breath, movement, and sound—to soften rigid form into living practice. Undulate the spine to recruit the fascia, voice the exhale to free the throat, and let intention lead. Whether you're working solo, with a client, or with a partner, this approach meets you where you are and moves what's ready to move.In this episode, we explore:• Six-breath centering for release and tuning• Matching breath with clients to invite participation• Throat center as primary exit pathway• Case study of hip pain and emotional release• Microcosmic orbit explained with energy ball focus• Adding movement and sound to deepen flow• Transitioning from structured form to fluid tantra• Masterclass details and free webinar invitationReady to take it deeper?

Send us a textIn this luminous Diwali episode, Dr. Justine Lemos sits down with Kundalini Awakening Process teacher Teo Semko for a deep and nuanced exploration of sādhanā, tapas, tantra, and the evolution of yoga in the modern world. Together, they trace the journey from ancient, lineage-based practice to today's commercialized yoga landscape — unpacking how practices once rooted in personal discipline, kriya, and subtle awareness became “exercise-ified.”They discuss the forgotten rituals of warming kriyas, drishti, and marma; how these subtle preparatory practices once cleared trauma and opened the body to bliss; and how modern yoga studios, though imperfect, have become vital sanctuaries of community in an increasingly fragmented world. The conversation unfolds through reflections on neotantra, embodied devotion, and collective exhaustion, ultimately calling for a return to intimacy with practice — not performance.Recorded under the New Moon in Chitra Nakshatra, this finale honors Vishwakarma, the divine architect, reminding us that Mars' precision can serve sacred artistry as much as ambition. It's a perfect close to Season 2: a meditation on refinement, rest, and rebirth.Third Eye Roll will now enter a short hiatus while we reset, replenish, and reimagine Season 3 — returning with fresh mythic takes, embodied wisdom, and cosmic satire for your inner mystic. Support the show

Send Us a Message!Imagine opening a conversation about sex that begins with safety, truth, and reverence. We invited our community into a live, guided experience of sacred space and the three keys of Tantra—breath, sound, and movement—to show how everyday intimacy can become a powerful energy practice. No jargon, no shock value, just clear tools you can try right away to feel more alive, connected, and grounded.In this episode, we explore:Redefining tantra as experiential energy workWhy sacred space creates feelings of securityThe sacred bubble ritual and heart salutationDesires, fears, boundaries and consent languageTaoist breath loop for grounding and releaseAdding sound to free expression and move energyAdding movement to integrate root-to-crown flowNoticing states, regulating intensity, and integrationMasterclass format, access, and expectationsWe start by reframing Tantra as experiential: a path of expanding aliveness by integrating two inner qualities—steady presence and dynamic flow. From there, we build a sacred container. You'll hear the language we use for desires, fears, and boundaries and how a simple “sacred bubble” ritual shifts the room from casual to consecrated. Then we move into practice. First, a Taoist breath loop that inhales up the back and exhales down the front to rinse the system and settle the mind. Next, we add sound to liberate expression and clear the throat center. Finally, we invite movement—spirals, undulations, subtle sways—to bridge sexual root and spiritual crown.Throughout, we share what to notice: tingling hands, jaw tension, a wave of grief, or a bright, quiet calm. The aim isn't to force fireworks; it's to build capacity. With breath, sound, and movement working together, energy moves, emotions integrate, and intimacy feels safer and more honest. We also outline our five-week Intro to Tantra masterclass: one week each for sacred space, breath, sound, and movement, plus a full Q&A. It's fully clothed, consent-forward, and designed for solo or partnered practice.If you're curious about turning connection into a spiritual practice without leaving your values at the door, this conversation is your on-ramp. Listen, follow the guided segments, and notice what shifts. If it resonates, subscribe, share with someone you trust, and leave a review telling us which key—breath, sound, or movement—opened the most for you.Learn about our

No Mud, No Lotus: Embracing the Dark and the DivineCan you meet your darkness with the same reverence you offer your light?In this raw and liberating transmission from our Fundamentals of Tantra event Chantelle Raven invites us into the heart of Tantra — where awakening is not about rising above, but about descending into the body and welcoming all that we are.Through stories, practice, and embodied wisdom, she guides us to see Kundalini not as something to control or “achieve,” but as life force itself — the pulse of creation, destruction, and renewal that moves through every breath. What happens when you stop resisting your contractions and start trusting your body's intelligence? When you let the mud be mud — and find the lotus blooming right through it?This episode is a fierce reclamation of the dark feminine — the part of us that feels deeply, speaks truth, and refuses to hide behind spiritual perfection. It's an invitation to bring compassion to your shadow, reverence to your rage, and love to the parts of you that were once deemed “too much.”If you're a practitioner, space holder, or simply a human who feels deeply, this one will move you — and remind you that the divine isn't separate from your humanity.Inside This Episode:• What Kundalini truly is and how to work with life force energy in the body• The difference between contraction and resistance• Dark Feminine vs. wounded feminine — how to know the difference• Turning shame into self-acceptance through the “So f*cking what” mantra• How spiritual conditioning can suppress our authentic expression• Practicing radical acceptance before creating change• The daily devotion of embodying your future selfThere's something holy that happens when we stop performing “high vibe” and start honoring what's real. When we let rage move through love, and tears become our prayer.This is the Tantra - where shadow and light, human and divine, are finally allowed to dance.Top Quotes:“Discomfort is only discomfort when we resist it.”“There's an ecstatic current available in every feeling.”“Dark feminine isn't chaos — it's truth with compassion.”“Accept first. From that place, change becomes devotion.”And when you're ready to walk deeper, come find us in the trainings, the retreats, the spaces where the lotus keeps blooming.Resources + Links:Sign up for the waitlist for the 18-month Tantra Practitioner Program: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/tantra-practitioner-training/ Check out our Self-Paced Program here: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/self-paced-tantra-practitioner-training/ Follow us on Instagram: @embodiedawakeningacademy

This trialogue continues a series of discussions exploring the latest interdisciplinary research into tantric completion stage practices such as yogas of dream, sleep, and death. Dr Tawni Tidwell is a biocultural anthropologist and doctor of traditional Tibetan medicine. Dr Michael Sheehy is the Director of Research at the Contemplative Sciences Center in the Department of Religious Studies in the University of Virginia. Dr Julian Schott is an Indologist, Tibetologist, and assistant professor at the University of Vienna. In this episode, the panel explore the ethical and methodological challenges of the studying Buddhist tantra; consider the various agendas behind scientific research into meditation, gtummo, and dream yoga; and argue for the centring of human liberation alongside human wellness and profit motives. Dr Sheehy presents his working model for achieving contemplative fluency across a range of meditation styles, suggests that scientific study of meditation can be seen as a type of cultural translation, and considers the use of etic frameworks and methods to study religious and cultural forms. Dr Tidwell argues for the validity of subjective experience, Dr Schott points out the tensions within religious traditions, and the panel consider if neuroscience might one day teach Buddhism something new about itself. … Link in bio.

This week, Vee and Elle chat with Eden, a tantra facilitator and intimacy coach, discussing the importance of creating safe spaces for women to explore their sexuality and intimacy without the male gaze. They talk what actually happens inside femme-only temples — no boys, no judgment, just sacred play, deep connection, and maybe a little glitter lube. They unpack queerness, non-monogamy, and the power of women's spaces that feel safe and sexy. From overcoming mean-girl energy to feeling fully seen in our desires, this convo pulls back the curtain on tantra, sisterhood, and the kind of turn-on that heals. Introduction to Eden and Creating Safe Spaces for Women  (00:00)Exploring Queerness and Its Pathway to Non-Monogamy (7:31)Monogamish & Territorial Feelings and Do You and Your Partner Share Separate Play Details (10:51)Elle's Journey Into Queerness and All Femme Party Experiences (16:08)(The Role of Male Gaze When Women Are Playing And Who Initiates in all Femme Spaces (19:37)Painted Picture Being In The Temple of Eden  (22:29)Ice Breaker Games and Relating Games (26:04)Is There A Space for Straight Women In All Women Spaces?

Send Us a Message!What if spiritual practice didn't pull you out of your body—but brought you deeper into it? After a month of eclipses, team changes, and heartfelt goodbyes, Christine turned to Tantra not as dogma, but as a grounded, embodied way to meet life. With guest (and her beloved) Jim Macdonald, they unpack what Tantra means to them: a practice of self-love that integrates sexual energy with spirit through the simple, potent tools of breath, movement, and sound.We start by clearing the fog around Tantra. Forget the hype and the rigid scripts—this approach welcomes solo practitioners and couples alike. Jim shares the SkyDancing Institute's lineage of neo-tantra, where the focus is raising energy from root to crown for expanded awareness and everyday ecstasy. Christine bridges Tantra with her Shamanic Reiki background, showing how energy work becomes more alive when you let the body move, the breath deepen, and the voice open. In today's episode, we'll cover: Reframing spiritual practice as embodiment, not escapeDemystifying and de-hyping Tantra3 Keys of Tantra: breath, movement, and soundAccessibility for solo practitioners and couplesChristine's fusion of Tantra with Shamanic ReikiMythic archetypes: Shiva/Shakti, Isis/OsirisInner union of steadiness and fluidityEmphasis on safety, consent, and boundariesLetting go of goals to reduce performance pressureSacred communication for healing intimacyReady to explore further?

One of the most important ideas in Tantra (and often one of the most misunderstood and most difficult to discuss) is Kuṇḍalinī! What exactly is this "serpent power", as Arthur Avalonji once called it? Specifically in this talk, we relate Kuṇḍalinī to Kālī to show her centrality in the Kaula tradition of Tantra! Finally, based on this reflection, we discuss the quintessential Kaula ritual, the "Ādi Yāga" which features in Chapter 29 of Abhinava Gupta's Tantrāloka. You'll find all of our talks on foundational Tāntrik concepts hereSupport the showLectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm 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

In this episode, I open up about the art of trusting life, even when the unknown feels overwhelming. I explore how our bodies are living temples and how breath, sound, and presence can reconnect us to the subtle realms of spirit without needing substances. I reflect on moments of inspiration beyond the veil, the reality of duality, and why those micro-moments of choosing faith over fear shape the way we move through the world.I also share a very human season of dismantling—leaving a relationship, a country, and an academy—and how surrender, prayer, and daily self-holding carried me through. We look at the danger of spiritual bypassing and why authentic tantra starts from the ground up: feeling what's real, integrating it in the body, and only then rising into trust. This is about meeting life honestly and letting wisdom grow from the roots.Along the way, I offer the practices that keep me steady and clear: meditation, emotional release, gratitude, mindset hygiene, and creating spaciousness so spirit can move through. My hope is that you feel invited to remember the grand, organized design we're part of—and to co-create a life that feels aligned, awake, and deeply human.[b]Chapters[/b]0:00 - Tantric Life Lessons for Awakening the Soul2:00 - The Sweetness of Letting Go of Resistance9:21 - Creating Spaciousness for Trust and Surrender

If you've ever seen Couples Retreat, you probably laughed and maybe thought, “Please tell me real retreats aren't like that.”You're not alone. Hollywood's version of “healing” is filled with forced sharing, public breakdowns, and humiliation disguised as therapy.In this episode of the Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples, we share the truth about what real couples retreats are like and why they're nothing like the movie. What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why Hollywood's version of couples retreats creates more fear than healing, and how that misconception stops couples from getting real help.What is the truth about tantra and what it actually is (and isn't)What is the importance of consentWhy waiting until your relationship is “on the rocks” makes healing harder and how coming sooner can transform everything.What real retreats feel like ...how depth, laughter, sensuality, and play in a space where transformation happens through safety, not shame, looks like You don't have to wait for a crisis to reconnect. Real retreats aren't about breaking you down...they're about helping you remember the truth of who you are, together. REGISTRATION IS OPEN NOW FOR OUR FEBRUARY 12-15 GROUP COUPLES RETREAT AT PHOENIX RISING.Here's what you can expect:• Daily practices to help you reconnect beyond the day-to-day• Space to set down stress and rediscover each other as lovers• Guidance from us and the support of a like-minded group• Private moments where intimacy can naturally rekindleWe keep this retreat intentionally small. It is just 5 couples, so there's space for genuine connection.

What happens when curiosity meets consciousness? In this episode, Ava and Ramone share their five-day journey at the New England Conscious Arts Festival, a transformative Tantra experience that brought together about 130 open-hearted souls—most exploring non-monogamy, self-discovery, and deep connection. From eye-gazing ceremonies to "liquid love" sessions, emotional alchemy, and even firewalking; Ava and Ramon open up about what it's like to strip away shame, lean into vulnerability, and embrace some unexpected lessons though Tantra. Ava reflects on her shift from skepticism to surrender, while Ramon shares how emotional and sensual exploration deepened his understanding of connection and consent. By the end, both walk away forever changed—and perhaps a little more open-minded than ever. #ThreeShadesOfGreyPodcast #TantraFestival #NonMonogamy #ConsciousConnection #LiquidLove #EmotionalAlchemy #OpenRelationships #TantricJourney #SexPositive #PersonalGrowth #AvaMoore #PinkyGreyman #AnthonyGreyman

I've never dated anyone. Never been on a dating site. My experiences in the early stages of romance and relationships have always been intense, wild and unmistakable. I've seen something reposted a few times lately, an idea that people seem to be in awe of, that's been the story of my life: “What's crazy is that real lovers don't even do talking stages. All it takes is one good date and suddenly y'all are together every day after that.” Yeah. This is how it's always been for me. I EXPECT big love, big feeling, a whole-hearted, whole-vagina, whole-soul response to someone. Nothing less. Why would I waste my time on anything BUT that? In this episode:  Since I don't “date” here's what I do insteadThe morass of modern dating and my advice on how to navigate it Humans vs. superhumansJen Okazaki weighs in (iykyk) When you know you know People who marry for every other reason other than deep passion and what they look like 5, 10, 15 years down the road—I would know because I see them all the time Recognizing soul mates—or at least the people who hold vital learning for you here and now Shakespearean-Romantic-poet-epic-saga-love and nothing less Courage and boldness in love Death by a thousand cuts of cowardice 

Manifestation isn't broken, you just need better tools.In this episode, Mia Magik joins me to flip the script on everything you think you know about creating the life you want. Forget the vision boards for a second. Mia's approach is rooted in healing, not just hoping. She explains why manifesting love starts with examining where you're being unloving, and why calling in abundance means looking at your scarcity patterns.We discuss the physical toll of consuming true crime and drama-filled content, the proven science of water holding intention, and simple kitchen rituals that turn your daily routine into a manifestation practice. Mia also opens up about her own journey through relationship struggles, self-betrayal, and finding her way back to her power through some seriously uncomfortable inner work.This conversation touches on the Sacred Rage Ritual, why women's anger is revolutionary, and Mia's current explorations with Tantra as a tool for understanding power, surrender, and healing. Whether you're new to manifestation or your practice has gone stale, this episode offers practical wisdom you can use today.Connect with Mia: https://miamagik.com/Mia on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/miamagik/Link to sign up for Mia's Retreats: https://miamagik.com/2025retreatrooms/Link to purchase Mia's book: IntuWitchinConnect with Sabrina:https://www.instagram.com/Sabrina_Soto/www.SabrinaSoto.com
