Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown sit down with colleague  Guy Shahar, originator of Tantra Speed Date  for the first-ever dedicated conversation on Sacred Spot Massage ritual — the Tantric practice that has been quietly transforming people's sex lives, healing childhood sexual trauma, and cracking open long-shut-down bodies for over 40 years. From Guy's accidental teenage discovery of Charles Muir's work via a mail-order VHS tape, to Leah's revelation through a bongo drummer's forgotten Tantra book, to Willow's journey from Taoist Sexology into the world of Tantric Sacred Spot Rituals, this episode is raw, personal, and full of the kind of real talk you will not find anywhere else. Whether you are brand new to Tantra or have been practicing for years, this conversation will change the way you think about touch, trust, healing, and what your body is actually capable of.EPISODE HIGHLIGHTSWhat Sacred Spot Massage actually is and why it is fundamentally different from G-spot stimulationWhy separating the roles of giver and receiver makes you profoundly better at bothThe ritual elements that make this practice sacred and why they matter more than you thinkWhat surfaces in the body during Sacred Spot Massage and why that is exactly the pointGuy's deeply honest account of learning to receive touch after years of using giving as protectionThe client session that cracked Guy open and permanently changed how he understood trustWhy love — not technique, not orgasm is the active ingredient in this practiceHow Leah healed years of childhood sexual trauma through consistent Sacred Spot workUpcoming Sacred Spot workshops and retreats open to singles and couples in New York, Phoenix, and VermontLINKS & RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE CAN BE FOUND ON THE WEBSITE: https://www.sexreimagined.com/blog/sacred-spot-massage-tantric-healing LAST 10x LONGER.

“We don't go to other planets because our planet is dying. Our planet dies, specifically because we perpetually want to go somewhere else.” Fresh off of the Initial Public Offering of Space X, the largest IPO in human history, it's worth revisiting the deeper implications of humanity's incessant drive... beyond. Today on the podcast, we look at humanity's increasing obsession with transcending planet Earth, in the context of the mythologies of human restlessness. How human beings, whether through certain religious visions of transcendence or through the increasing transhuman and supernatural focus of modern science, are ultimately looking to be anywhere but right here, with ourselves, in nature. This misplaced spiritual drive, in which we perpetually seek wholeness out there when wholeness ultimately lives right here, has been the subject of some of our most central stories about ourselves. Many in fact, have seen it as… a primordial curse.Support the show

This teaching was given by Lama Zopa Rinpoche at Lama Tsonkhapa Institute in Italy as part of the Ganden Lha Gyama retreat between September 3-30, 2004.00:00:01 To receive the jenang (permission to practice) of a deity from the four-class Tantra, one needs to first receive the initiation of that class of Tantra.00:06:31 Even though one has received a precious human body, it can be stained by desire, carelessness, laziness, sleep, gossiping, and seeking offerings and respect. This leads to wasting the precious human body on meaningless activities.00:10:34 To take the essence of the perfect human body, one must train well in the gradual path of the lower, middle, and higher capable beings.00:11:51 All sentient beings have been one's mother countless times in past lives, but due to taking rebirth, they are unable to recognize each other. Generating love and compassion for them, one should strive to achieve enlightenment for their benefit.Find out more about Lama Zopa Rinpoche, his teachings and projects at https://fpmt.org/

Send us a text & leave your email address if you want a reply!Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown open up the mailbox in this candid listener Q&A episode, tackling the real questions you've been too nervous to ask out loud. From healing sexual trauma in a relationship and rebuilding emotional intimacy after a rough patch, to navigating the polyamory conversation and letting go of body image shame in the bedroom. This episode goes deep, fast, and leaves nothing on the table. If you've ever felt alone with a question about your sex life or relationship, this one is for you.KEY TAKEAWAYS→ Healing sexual trauma in relationships is possible — somatic practices like Tantra and IFS can be more effective than cognitive-only therapy, and your partner can be one of your most powerful healers→ Rebuilding emotional intimacy after a rough patch starts small: consistent micro-rituals, gratitude, 20-second hugs, and intentional touch rebuild oxytocin and trust faster than big gestures→ If you're curious about ethical non-monogamy or polyamory, lead with curiosity before desire — ask your partner what they think and feel before making it a request, and get any agreements in writing→ Sexual boundaries are self-care, not selfishness — knowing whether yours are a request or a requirement helps you communicate them clearly and without guilt→ Feeling sexy is an inside job: drop the mirror, close your eyes, breathe into your body, and let sensation lead — pleasure has nothing to do with size, shape, or age→ The four pillars of deep intimacy — vulnerability, presence, trust, and attunement — apply whether you're healing, reconnecting, or just trying to feel more alive in your relationshipGot a question for Leah and Willow?

Have you ever noticed that when humans try to talk about God, awakening, truth, or the divine we almost never explain it directly? Instead, we tell stories. We say life is a battlefield. God is a shepherd. The soul is a river returning to the sea. The self is two birds sitting in the same tree. Across cultures, centuries, and spiritual traditions, mystics don't simply define the divine, they paint it. In this episode, I take you on a kind of devotional poetry slam through sacred metaphor. We'll explore passages from the Bhagavad Gita, the Upanishads, the Psalms, and yogic philosophy to see how spiritual traditions use image, story, and symbol to help us feel our relationship with the divine. Because metaphor doesn't just help the mind understand. It gives the nervous system somewhere to rest. We'll explore:

For many couples, sex becomes loaded. Pressure. Expectation. Avoidance. Performance. Resentment. And once that dynamic sets in, even love can start to feel tense. In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we explore how sexual dynamics become shaped by pursuer-withdrawer patterns, obligation, performance anxiety, shame, and unspoken needs… and what it actually takes to move back toward pleasure, connection, and erotic aliveness. They share their own experiences, challenge some of the cultural narratives we've inherited around sex, and offer a new possibility… one where intimacy feels nourishing instead of stressful.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: How pressure slowly builds in relationships through pursuer-withdrawer dynamics and emotional disconnection Why obligation, sex, fear of rejection, and performance anxiety create tension for both partners The essential ingredients pleasure actually needs: emotional safety, presence, honesty, and vulnerability What happens when you take orgasm off the table and focus on connection instead How shame, conditioning, and early experiences shape the way we relate to our own pleasure Why learning your body's unique experience of pleasure matters… and why your partner isn't a mind reader The connection between nervous system regulation, pelvic floor tension, and painful sexual experiences Why it's never too late to rewrite your sexual dynamic, no matter how long you've been together   Intimacy was never meant to feel like pressure. It wasn't meant to be a performance. Or an obligation. Or another item on the to-do list. It was meant to nourish. To connect. To awaken. And when couples learn how to slow down, communicate honestly, and create emotional safety…   ✨ Save your spot for our July and September Group Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

What if your pain could become a doorway to divine love? Many people experience a deep sense of peace during meditation, prayer, or spiritual practice—but then struggle with anxiety, grief, loneliness, anger, or loss in everyday life. How do these difficult experiences fit into a spiritual path? In this Baba Talk, Maetreyii Ma explores the meaning of tantra, revealing Tantra as the transmutation of life's experiences. Rather than rejecting pain, Tantra teaches us how to transform it. Every emotion, challenge, and life circumstance can become an opportunity for spiritual awakening, deeper understanding, and connection with the Divine. Learn how to: ✨ Transform pain into divine love ✨ Work with grief, anger, loneliness, and loss in a spiritual way ✨ Understand the true meaning of Tantra beyond common misconceptions ✨ Experience spiritual awakening through everyday challenges ✨ See everyday experiences as part of your spiritual journey ✨ Bring spiritual wisdom into daily life through right understanding and expanded love Through timeless teachings from Yoga philosophy, Maetreyii Ma explains how Tantra is an alchemical process that transforms the ordinary into the sacred, the crude into the subtle, and suffering into wisdom. When we learn to accept and transmute life's challenges, we discover that nothing is separate from the Divine. If you have ever wondered, "What is tantra?", or sought a path that helps you transform pain into divine love, this talk offers profound yet practical guidance for everyday spiritual living.

Wie wird aus einer Beamtin und Finanzberaterin eine Tantra-Masseurin, Ausbilderin und Betreiberin zweier Dakini-Studios? In dieser sehr persönlichen Folge erzählt Monika Koch erstmals ausführlich ihren eigenen Weg. Von den ersten Berührungen mit Tantra über innere Sinnsuche, Frauengruppen und Körperarbeit bis hin zur Entscheidung, ihr bisheriges Leben komplett zu verändern. Gemeinsam sprechen Johannes Metzger und Monika darüber, wie Berufung entsteht, warum viele Menschen ihre eigentlichen Wünsche unterdrücken und weshalb echte Veränderung oft erst beginnt, wenn man sich erlaubt, der eigenen Freude zu folgen. Es geht um Sinnlichkeit, Heilung, Beziehung, Körperbewusstsein, Ängste, Mut und die Frage, wie man seinen eigenen Weg findet – auch mit 50 noch. Eine ehrliche und tiefgehende Folge über Lebenswege, Berufung und die Kraft von Berührung.

What if the exhaustion, irritability, overwhelm, and restlessness you're experiencing in midlife aren't signs that something is wrong—but messages your body is trying to send? For many women, these symptoms are rooted in chronic stress in women over 40, a growing health concern that impacts everything from hormones and sleep to mood, energy, and overall well-being.In this powerful episode of the V.I.B.E. Living Podcast, Lynnis Woods-Mullins sits down with psychotherapist, holistic coach, yoga philosophy teacher, and author Catia Batalha to explore how chronic stress affects women over 40 and what many are truly craving beneath the surface: a regulated nervous system, healthier boundaries, deeper self-trust, and a renewed connection to their inner wisdom.Together, they unpack why modern life keeps so many women stuck in chronic stress and survival mode, and how ancient yoga philosophy offers a pathway back to balance, healing, and self-discovery. You'll learn why yoga is about far more than physical flexibility, how meditation and relaxation create space for clarity and truth, and why listening to your body's wisdom may be one of the most important skills of midlife.This conversation also takes a deep dive into boundaries—not as a trendy self-help concept, but as essential physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual protection. Catia shares practical insights on navigating relationships, work pressures, personal growth, and the courage it takes to stop living for external validation and start living in alignment with your authentic self.Whether you're navigating menopause, burnout, life transitions, anxiety, people-pleasing, or simply feeling called to something more, this episode offers compassionate guidance and practical tools for creating a calmer, more empowered life.In This Episode:✔ Nervous system regulation for women over 40✔ How chronic stress impacts your health and decision-making✔ The deeper meaning of yoga philosophy beyond physical poses✔ Meditation and relaxation practices for emotional healing✔ Setting healthy boundaries without guilt✔ Empowerment vs. victim mentality in midlife✔ Reconnecting with intuition and body wisdom✔ Midlife transformation, healing, and personal growth✔ Trauma recovery and self-discovery✔ Insights from Catia's novel, Echoes of the TimelessIf you're ready to stop pushing through and start listening to what your mind, body, and spirit truly need, this episode is for you.

When you feel an interest arising in you to learn and practice Tantra, you will very soon encounter vitriolic gate keeping (by those who are themselves often outside the gates). You will come up against established hierarchies and rigid "traditions". People, often internet strangers, will almost always have something to say about your practice and as if they were the highest authorities on the subject, offer their opinions (whether asked or unasked) about what you can or cannot do. What human being is allowed to have power over any human being, though? When did we accept that as natural and alright and when did we decide to give away our power to those who claim to know better. If there's anything to learn, we must learn for ourselves following our svadharma, our inherent nature and the inclinations of our own heart, which is often (and this is sometimes scary to hear) wholly unique and wholly different from anyone else. What you have to do in your own journey has never been and will be never done. What model then exists to guide you but your own inspiration and whimsy? Everyone is valid and everyone's truth is true in their own context, given their own predilections, but just because something is true before and is true for someone else does not mean it is true now or true for you. Why do we cling to the way things used to be? The ideas of 10th and 11th CE India (and a lot of the times these are distorted by 700 years of Mogul rule and after that a wave of Christian apologetics during the British Rāj, e.g the Brāhmo and Arya Samāj movements of 19th CE ) are like beautiful but antiquated coins. They worked before for different people in a different time but they have no currency now. We are now, and we are different and so these ideas need to be re-evalutated, re-interpreted and re-contextualized, to preserve the best and incinerate the rest!You are a sovereign being! You can do whatever the fuck you want. And because you value radical freedom in yourself, you will by nature value it in others and be perfectly ethical, peaceful and loving, giving others the space to express themselves the way you express yourself freely. It is only when you deprive yourself the right to radical, authentic expression that you start to judge others and feel negatively towards them. Unethical action comes from repression and fear. Stop letting people suppress you! Stop letting the fear mongering and superstition on the internet scare you away from doing the things you love. You see, when you come to Tantra, out of genuine love and curiosity, especially when you have an interest in the "darker" side of our tradition (the left hand path, fierce Goddesses like Kālī, the radical world-affirming and life-embracing Advaita of the Mahārtha, i.e Śākta tradition), you will sooner or later come up against established hierarchies and self-appointed pontiffs telling you what you can or cannot do, keeping a gate closed to a city they have often themselves never entered.To this, we say, lovingly: fuck all that. Lets storm the gates, loot the city and redistribute the wealth (esoteric wisdom) which is the common property of every being everywhere regardless of race, nationality, religion, caste, gender, sexual-orientation, life-style choices etc. But what would such an anti-establishment, punk-rock, outlaw Tantra look like? We try to articulate what such a revolution would take n this first installment from our "Kentucky Fried Tantra" retreat of 2026.No masters, no leaders, no rules. Take back what's yours. Reclaim your power. Do what you want and leave others to do what they want. Freedom! Radical freedom! We will settle for nothing else, we who are the rabid ganas and Bhutan of our Lord and Lady, Shiva and Kali, who are the themselves Revolution Incarnate.

Like a lonely grandma falling for a Nigerian scammer, women who have drank the Kool-Aid and the victim consciousness of “perimenopause” have been swindled. “Low libido” is a scam.  “Dry vagina” is a scam. “Hot flashes” are a scam. “Sleepless nights” are a scam. The only sleepless nights you ought to be having are ones where you get the shit and the victim mindset fucked out of you. I can help you with that. In this episode: Menopausal and “peri-menopausal” women are allopathic medicine's biggest—and most gullible—cash cow Peri-menopause is a fictional condition Hollywood Whores of Babylon are paid to tell you that “menopause sucks” Your body is the perfect hormone production factory Why do the women in Anami Land not need HRT? Ice baths vs. orgasms. Who wins? Did God and nature forget about women's hormones like they forgot to cut off baby dicks? Telling the “Menopause Fairy” and her trench coat of drugs to fuck offAmanda Peet has a shit fetish. She loves to be covered in shit. LOVES it!! Can't get enough of it.Wine moms/whine moms are so passé 

Intro:In deze aflevering duiken we diep in de wereld van kink, tantra en echte intimiteit. Meagan en Brie delen openhartig hoe connectie en energie veel belangrijker zijn dan technieken of tools. Samen met Dirk bespreken ze oordeel-loosheid, kwetsbaarheid, tantrische energie in kink en hoe je authentiek kunt blijven in je seksualiteit en relaties.In deze aflevering:De Meagan en Brie vertellen waarom ze bewust open-minded, niet-oordelende mensen om zich heen verzamelen — zowel binnen als buiten de kinkscene.Belang van échte connectie boven alleen maar BDSM-tools zoals zwepen; kink begint bij de mens, niet bij de techniek.Integratie van tantra en energy play in kink: aanraking, aanwezigheid en energetische uitwisseling als krachtige componenten.Persoonlijke ervaringen met workshops, roze-wolk-momenten en hoe kink je kijk op intimiteit compleet kan veranderen.Hoe je veilig en bewust verder kunt verkennen: munches, checken bij vertrouwde mensen, en grenzen stellen.Communicatie, kwetsbaarheid en het durven uitspreken van gevoelens (ook als je nog niet precies weet waarom je huilt).Het verschil tussen “zieloos” spelen en diep gevoeld, congruent kink & tantra.Verhalen over intense connectie-ervaringen, waaronder klaarkomen door alleen oogcontact.Advies voor beginners: begin met aanwezigheid, kijk elkaar aan zonder telefoon, en bouw van daaruit verder.Reflectie op groei, authenticiteit en het belang van blijven leren en voelen in seksualiteit en relaties.SamenvattingDeze aflevering laat zien dat kink en tantra in essentie gaan over diepe verbinding, aanwezigheid en oordeel-loosheid — veel meer dan over uiterlijke technieken. Meagan en Brie delen op authentieke en kwetsbare wijze hoe deze wereld hen heeft geholpen beter te voelen, beter te communiceren en authentieker te leven. Een inspirerend gesprek over moedig durven voelen, connectie durven maken en seksualiteit als een pad naar persoonlijke groei.Meer over MeaganMorgan(⁠https://fetlife.com/MeaganMorgan⁠)Meer over Miss Bri / kindhearted(⁠https://linktr.ee/kinkhearted⁠)SinQuest biedt een veilige en open podcast over seksualiteit, met focus op fetish, kink en BDSM. Iedereen is welkom om vrijuit te praten op ons genderneutrale platform. Hulp nodig?

You love each other. You communicate. You trust each other. You're best friends. So why does the spark feel different? Why can a relationship feel safe, connected, and stable… yet still feel flat, predictable, or disconnected sexually?   In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, Kim & Roberto explore one of the biggest misconceptions about long-term relationships: Emotional intimacy is essential… but it's not enough on its own to sustain passion. They unpack the missing ingredient many couples overlook, why roommate energy slowly replaces attraction, and how to create both emotional safety and erotic aliveness in a conscious partnership.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why emotional intimacy matters deeply… and why it still won't create lasting passion on its own How predictability, routine, and "best friend energy" can slowly erode attraction What polarity really means (and why it has nothing to do with toxic relationship dynamics) How over-functioning, resentment, and parenting your partner destroy desire Why safety without polarity creates friendship… and polarity without safety creates unhealthy chemistry The importance of maintaining your own individuality, confidence, playfulness, and aliveness inside a relationship The formula for sustainable passion: emotional safety + polarity + presence + play   You do not have to choose between love and desire. Between emotional safety and erotic connection. Between trust and attraction. The healthiest relationships create both. Because emotional intimacy creates safety. Polarity creates a spark. And together…they create the kind of passion that continues growing long after the honeymoon phase is over.

What if birth began long before labor ever started? In this powerful conversation, Pauline Goossen shares her conscious conception journey, the intentional preparation she and her partner made before pregnancy, and the deeply embodied birth of her breech baby. Together, Pauline and Debra explore cycle wisdom, tantra, oxytocin, privacy in labor, and the transformational power of surrender. Pauline describes pregnancy as a long luteal phase, and birth as something that is supported by the way we care for our hormones, our relationships, and our bodies over time. She also shares how her understanding of pleasure, love, and embodiment shaped her labor, including the moment she asked for space, turned inward, and opened from 0 to 4 centimeters. Her birth story unfolds with honesty and awe: a breech baby, an experienced midwifery team, a trance-like labor state, and a delivery that left her exhausted, empowered, and grateful. This episode is a moving reminder that birth can be both intense and beautiful, and that deep trust in the body can make all the difference. In this episode, you'll hear about: -Conscious conception and preparing for pregnancy months in advance. -How cycle awareness and hormone health shape fertility and birth. -Tantra, pleasure, and intentional intimacy as foundations for family life. -The role of privacy, space, and surrender during labor. -Pauline's breech birth experience and the support of her birth team. -Why oxytocin matters in love, labor, breastfeeding, and recovery. -Seeing birth as a rite of passage and a deeply transformational experience. About Pauline Goossen Pauline Goossen is a women's fertility and holistic hormone health coach who teaches that pregnancy and birth begin long before conception. Through cycle-based hormone balance, she helps support PMS, period pain, fertility, and reconnection to the wisdom of the body. She works online with women around the world and offers programs focused on cycle health, fertility, and hormonal balance.

You love your partner. You're committed. But the sex has slowed to a trickle — once a month, once every six months, maybe not in years — and you're starting to wonder: "Is this just what long-term partnership is?"No -- it doesn't have to be. Unfortunately, if this is happening and you're feeling lonely in your marriage, you're not alone. And it can be hard to know what to do; millions of men feel ill-equipped to address the issue because either a) whenever they do, it becomes a fight; or b) they're scared of coming off as demanding or a jerk.Here, Jason and I count down the 5 root causes we see most often behind sexless relationships, ranked from least to most common, drawing on our work with hundreds of men.We cover how much changes when you have kids (including the partner that just can't relax when the kids are in the house); resentment and quiet breaches of trust; mental load; what kind of sex actually feels good for women; and how to engage on the topic skillfully. As Jason says: “Neither men nor women do well when sex is connected to pressure.”We also share story after story of men whose "spines got straighter," who stopped using sex to discharge stress, and whose wives initiated for the first time in a decade!If you've been the higher-desire partner wondering, "Is this just how it is now?" -- this one's for you. It can come back online, and when it does, it's often even more glorious than ever.—Work with usReady to go deeper than the podcast and take action? Jason and I will help you break old patterns and transform your sex & love life for good. To see if you're a fit for our flagship program, Pillars of Presence, book a call here. Start anytime.

Robbie Kramer)DM 1: Pain in Pleasure, Pleasure in Pain -- episode with my friend Z, who took a Tantra course and went on her own journey of sexual healing within her marriage—Memorable quotes from this episode:“Instead of being on the same team, suddenly we're against each other.”“This is the challenge most couples aren't prepared for.”"'I enjoyed that he enjoyed it.' ... That's not the same thing as, 'I enjoyed it.'"“How do we actually create desire in the relationship? That's polarity.”"If there are unresolved tensions between the two of you, there's no room for erotic tension.""'My wife initiated with me for the first time in, I swear to God, a decade.'"“After retreat these guys are CHARGED UP with masculine energy.”“Spending deep, quality time with other men is a big part of this.”“‘I want you to take me!'”"It can change.""Good sex is like lubricant for the relationship itself."

Most couples think desire starts in the bedroom. That if intimacy feels flat, the fix must be: A date night. A new toy. A different position. A quick spark strategy. But here's the truth… By the time you get to the bedroom, desire has already been built… or eroded. In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack what actually creates lasting desire in long-term relationships… and why emotional connection, safety, playfulness, and polarity matter far more than performance or technique. They share personal stories, masculine/feminine perspectives, and the practical shifts that help couples reignite attraction before the clothes ever come off.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why desire is built throughout the day… not in the bedroom alone Why date nights, toys, and quick fixes often don't solve deeper intimacy disconnection The real ingredients that build desire: emotional safety, vulnerability, playfulness, trust, and connection Why touch without an agenda can completely shift intimacy and attraction Polarity, emotional safety, and why many women need connection before desire opens Why low desire, menopause, or aging do not mean your erotic aliveness is gone   Desire is not usually a sex problem. It's a connection problem. Or a safety problem. Or a resentment problem. Or simply a relationship that forgot how to play. But that can change. When you build emotional intimacy… create safety… slow down… and reconnect… Desire naturally comes back online.

Macht der Kapitalismus träge? Macht Spiritualität träge? Was macht eigentlich nicht träge? Christa zweifelt, ob sie sich immer genug angestrengt hat.

Send Us a Message!Your energy field isn't just “vibes” floating around you. It's a living system that reflects your boundaries, your self-worth, and the places where you've learned to contract for safety. We walk through a grounded, usable way to understand chakras as interlocking energy centers and why one stuck “gear” can ripple into the rest of your life, from survival stress and people pleasing to muted pleasure and creative shutdown. Christine Rene brings decades of energy healing and Reiki experience into a clear framework: root, sacral, solar plexus, heart, throat, third eye, and crown as a practical roadmap for emotional health, physical tension, and spiritual alignment. We also explore the earth star chakra and sun star chakra as powerful connection points, helping you release and ground into Earth energy while also receiving guidance and nourishment from divine intelligence. Then we connect the dots to Tantra as an embodied method, not a concept: breath, sound, and movement to shift energy through the “inner flute” and restore flow. This is where psychic protection gets real. When unresolved trauma and limiting beliefs create weak spots in the auric field, cords and intrusive energy can hook in more easily. When your toroidal field is strong, you feel steadier, clearer, and harder to knock off center, without bypassing your shadows. Join us for She Who Rises starting May 26th to activate and energize your field, expand your pleasure, and enliven your psychic protection. Subscribe for more shamanic Reiki insights, share this with a friend who feels energetically drained, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Most couples think they're fighting about chores.   The dishes. The garbage. Laundry. The forgotten text. The missed appointment. The thing that didn't get done.   But most of the time? That's not the real fight.   In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack one of the most common relationship patterns they see… couples arguing about surface-level logistics when the real issue is emotional disconnection, unmet needs, resentment, and feeling unseen. They break down why the same fights keep repeating, how emotional pain gets expressed through criticism and defensiveness, and what actually creates real repair, connection, and intimacy.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why couples are rarely actually fighting about the dishes, garbage, or chores The deeper emotional needs underneath recurring conflict: support, appreciation, respect, and connection How to start naming your truth instead of projecting pain through criticism The toxic cycle of criticism, defensiveness, resentment, and emotional shutdown Why repair conversations matter more than avoiding conflict altogether The simple shifts that help couples reconnect, communicate honestly, and feel like a team again   It's not really about the garbage. Or the dishes. Or the forgotten task. It's about what those moments trigger underneath. Feeling alone. Feeling unsupported. Feeling disconnected. Feeling unseen. And once you learn how to speak the real need… everything shifts.

Amy Edwards and I start this episode discussing the most Austin way possible to meet someone… at a pussy casting workshop.

Because we gave this talk on May 4th, we start by exploring the relationships between Star Wars, Jospeh Campbell & Ramakrishna's Tāntrik philosophy. We then map this comparative mythology to the Tarot, to deities across the Indo-European world and also, interestingly, Marxism to see how this Ramakrishnan approach is the necessary response to a post-modern, post-truth increasingly relativist world in which many are lapsing into nihilism, atheism or conversely, religious fanaticism. Because May 1st is the day the Ramakrishna Math & Mission was founded, we spend some time reflecting on what institutionalization means for Swami Vivekananda's mission of making available to everyone esoteric spiritual knowledge which gains especial nuance and complexity when it comes to Tantra given its emphasis on secrecy, lineage, mantra-dīksha (initiation into the mantra) and the human gurus. A lot of this talk is my personal reflection on how our community fits into the very complex socio-political marketplace of ideas that is the modern internet-age. In a somewhat candid fashion, I reflect on my place in the Ramakrishna lineage and how I'm navigating the complexity of teaching this stuff in the face of some backlash and misunderstanding while trying to stay true to my understanding of what Vivekananda & Ramakrishna were all about.May this be an offering to all rebels, in the Star Wars universe and beyond!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

In this episode, HeHe sits down with somatics, sex, and intimacy coach Tilly Storm for a conversation that completely reframes what “orgasmic birth” actually means. Spoiler alert: we're not talking about some performative movie-scene orgasm during labor. We're talking about surrender, safety, primal energy, deep embodiment, and what can happen when a birthing person feels fully connected to their body instead of trapped in fear and tension. Tilly breaks down how cultural conditioning, fear-based birth narratives, and male-centered definitions of pleasure disconnect women from both birth and sexuality. She shares her own birth stories, including a fast and powerful unassisted freebirth and a second birth that included hospital care, PROM, breast-pump induction, and a NICU stay that was still deeply empowering because she stayed rooted in advocacy, autonomy, and trust in herself. Together, HeHe and Tilly dive into birth plans vs. flexibility, the role partners play during labor, how sexuality work can strengthen your voice and self-trust, and why reclaiming pleasure matters in postpartum too. Tilly also shares about Taoist jade egg practices, pelvic vitality, and reconnecting with your body after birth. This episode is expansive, thought-provoking, and such an important reminder that empowered birth is not about perfection—it's about presence, safety, and sovereignty. 00:00 Conditioning Sets the Stage 01:53 Meet Tilly and Orgasmic Birth 04:23 Redefining Female Orgasm 08:55 Surrender Through Pain and Bliss 16:05 Roots of Trust and Freebirth 25:15 Farm Lessons and Birth Plans 30:19 Dissociation Versus Ecstasy 31:50 Nursery Curtains Sponsor Break 34:57 Taoism and Empowered Presence 36:13 Second Birth Curveball 36:40 ER After Water Break 38:21 Breast Pump Induction 41:52 NICU Advocacy And Care 47:34 Sovereignty Over Sexuality 01:05:02 Jade Egg And Wrap Up Guest Bio: If lack of confidence, low libido, or guilt and shame around your sexuality are the cause of your bedroom woes, (the hot, wild sex you never have any more, or the transition into motherhood or menopause that sucked your libido dry), you need Tilly. She's a somatic sex and intimacy coach for women who lack desire or pleasure in the bedroom and beyond. With a background in Taoism and Tantra, Tilly brings a modern twist to unlocking pleasure and passion in the bedroom. Using somatic healing, psychotherapy, and proven coaching techniques, she helps ambitious women reignite their desire and experience more pleasure in the bedroom and beyond.

Some moments in life feel bigger than the moment itself. Not because of what happened…But because of everything it represents. In this deeply personal episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we share the story behind a powerful full-circle moment… sitting down in Austin for a conversation with one of Kim's longtime mentors, Layla Martin. But this isn't just a story about podcasting. It's a story about healing. About the woman Kim used to be…The patterns both Kim and Roberto had to unravel… And what happens when you stop abandoning yourself and finally come home to your truth.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: Kim shares the emotional reality of being interviewed by a longtime mentor and what that full-circle moment represented How trauma, people-pleasing, self-abandonment, and emotional shutdown shaped early relationship patterns Roberto opens up about trauma, hypervigilance, anger, and nervous system survival responses Why healing is not about fixing yourself… but remembering who you are beneath the conditioning How Tantra, embodiment, pleasure, and nervous system healing transformed intimacy and connection Why is it never too late to change your relationship, reclaim desire, and choose a new path Healing doesn't mean you were broken. It means some part of you adapted to survive. And now…you get to choose something different. More truth. More connection. More intimacy. More aliveness.

Most relationships don't fall apart in one dramatic moment… They slowly drift. A little less presence. A little more avoidance. A little more autopilot. Until one day…You realize you're no longer truly choosing each other. In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we explore the subtle ways couples disconnect over time… and what it actually means to consciously choose your relationship again and again. They share personal stories, real-life patterns, and the small everyday moments that either deepen intimacy… or slowly erode it.   What You'll Hear in This Episode: How couples quietly stop choosing each other without even realizing it What consciously choosing your partner actually means in real life How autopilot, technology, and distraction slowly disconnect relationships What are the subtle patterns that quietly erode intimacy and connection Why “we're fine” can become the danger zone in relationships What are the small daily choices that rebuild connection, trust, and emotional intimacy   Love alone doesn't sustain a relationship. Conscious choosing does. When you continue turning toward each other…staying present, speaking truth, and repairing quickly: Connection deepens. Trust strengthens. And relationships come back to life.

In this candid and educational conversation, we explore: How trying new sex positions can reignite passion and deepen intimacy The most overrated positions (and why they don't always live up to the hype) Accessible advanced techniques that almost anyone can try Positions that require strength and flexibility—and how to safely prepare Expert tips to avoid injuries, awkward mishaps, or “that didn't go as planned” moments Plus, Erwan and Alicia share practical advice for anyone feeling curious—but a little nervous—about expanding their sexual repertoire.

Good morning! Let's find the still point in the turning world. Today is Day 6 of our 7-Day Cortisol Reset, and we are layering our techniques together to create a "Somatic Symphony."

A Little Message for Your Heart "My dear friend, I know what it's like to feel like you're being pulled in a thousand directions at once. I know the weight of being the one everyone looks to for answers. But today, I want to remind you that you don't have to choose between your strength and your peace. You can be a powerful business owner and a grounded soul. You can be a caregiver and a protected sanctuary. You don't have to be 'on' to be effective. In fact, you are at your most brilliant when you are at your most balanced. Today, as you weave these tools together, I want you to feel the relief of coming back into one piece. You are not a collection of 'to-dos'; you are a whole, beautiful, and balanced human being. You've done the work—now, just enjoy the harmony."

It's always their fault. Everyone's got a narcissist story these days. IT'S ALWAYS THE FAULT OF THE NARCISSIST! Someone said to me a few years ago that a narcissist is essentially someone who hasn't healed their trauma. And they aren't interested in healing it. But what if this isn't about how evil and awful the narcissist is? What if it's about you and the 8000 red flags and signs you ignored, telling you this wasn't right? In fact, that's the only thing it's about: How you chose wrong and how blaming someone else is keeping you stuck in a cycle of victimhood and re-traumatization. In this episode: The price for being a victim and not taking radical self-responsibility Scorpions gonna sting. Narcs gonna narc. Do you play with them anyway? Why is there “chemistry” with a narcissist or someone who may not be good for you? Does that mean that all “chemistry” now can't be trusted? 99.9% of relationships have this flaw The most important juncture in any relationship The reasons why people stay where they know it's not good for them How to break free and choose better: and choose YOU. COME TO ANAMI LAND! We'll be opening our private, exclusive Anami Land membership community in the coming weeks. This will be a place for people who've taken our salons to keep going in there work. And for those of you who've been hovering on the outskirts of Anami Land, it's open to you too. People have been asking—begging—us to create a dating site for ages. This will function as that, a community for like-minded Anami enthusiasts—singles, couples, men and women—everyone looking to take their lives, growth and relationships to the next level. Go to kimanami.com/anamiland to signup on the waitlist and be notified of when we open the doors. 

Good morning, dear friend. Let's weave something beautiful today. We've spent the week collecting these precious threads—the roots of the oak, the sigh of the breath, the seal of the hands. Today, we're going to weave them into a cloak of balance that you can wear out into the world. If you've been feeling a bit "pulled apart" by life's demands, today is about becoming whole. We're moving from "practicing" to "being." What we're tucked into today: The Power of Coherence: How layering your tools sends a "super-signal" to your brain that it's time to truly thrive, not just survive. The Weaver's Secret: Exploring the ancient mystery of Tantra—the art of weaving your energy into an unbreakable fabric. The Symphony of the Self: A guided journey where your roots, your breath, and your hands join together in one gorgeous song of balance. The Day 6 Practice: The Woven Flow I want you to imagine we're sitting together, maybe feeling a soft breeze. Let's start by finding those Roots (Day 1), feeling the earth rise up to meet your feet. Now, bring your hands into that Prithvi Mudra (Day 4), sealing your energy in your lap. Take a slow, Physiological Sigh (Day 3), and as you exhale, let that deep red light (Day 5) glow at your base. Stay here. Notice how, when all these parts of you are working together, the 'chatter' of the world starts to fade. You are the weaver, and you are the web. You are balanced. You are complete. A Little Note for Your Heart You have spent so many years holding space for everyone else's story. Today, let these tools hold space for you. You don't have to be the foundation for the whole world today—you only need to be the foundation for yourself. You are doing such a beautiful job. This is day 6 of a 7-day meditation series, "Somatic Healing for the Heart: A Gentle Return from Emotional Exhaustion," episodes 3493-3499. THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE -  THE BAREFOOT MINUTE Once a day this week, go outside and stand barefoot on the earth. Spend exactly 60 seconds noticing the temperature and texture under your feet without checking your phone. This simple act of earthing provides a literal somatic discharge of the static energy we build up from our devices. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: VISUALIZATION: The Deep RootClose your eyes and imagine your spine is like the trunk of a beautiful ancient tree. As you breathe out, imagine tiny silver roots traveling from the soles of your feet deep into the cool, dark earth. Any worry, any To Do list, or any heavy thought simply travels down those roots. The earth is big enough to hold it all for you. You don't have to carry it anymore. You are anchored. You are held. You are safe. Day 2: AFFIRMATION:   "My body is a safe place to land." Day 3: THE PHYSIOLOGICAL SIGH BREATH Two quick inhales through the nose followed by one long, slow exhale through the mouth to instantly "offload" carbon dioxide and signal the brain to relax. Day 4: PRITHVI MUDRA Touch the tip of your ring finger to the tip of your thumb. This mudra is used to increase the "Earth" element, helping to ground a nervous system that feels "airy" or frantic. Day 5: FOURTH (MULADHARA) CHAKRA  Focus on the base of your spine. Visualize a deep, glowing red light that provides a foundation of security and physical belonging. Day 6: SOMATIC RELEASE FLOW MEDITATION: Combining the week's techniques Day 7: WEEKLY REVIEW MEDITATION: Closure with a review of the week's highs and lows.
