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.

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

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.

If you are a man seeking deeper intimacy and connection, you will learn tantric practices, how to experience full-body pleasure beyond traditional orgasm.

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

Send us a textUnder the silver glow of the Sharad Full Moon in Revati, Dr. Justine Lemos and Scarlett Trillia sip from the mythic cup of Amrita—the nectar of immortality. This episode dives deep into the lunar mysteries of Soma: the sacred elixir of the Vedas, the psychoactive honey of the gods, and the subtle lunar juice that drips from the crown in Tantrik and Ayurvedic lore.Together, they explore how this “dripping moon” season invites us into transcendence, nourishment, and surrender. You'll hear: 

Tantra, and how you are practicing the kundalini energy when you participate in the act of intercourse.

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

Paul Muller-Ortega was a distinguished professor of the Indic religious traditions who retired from academia in 2006 and founded his school, Blue Throat Yoga. Since then, to quote from his website, “Paul has been teaching practices of deep meditation and the theories of meditation studies. His primary theoretical focus is founded on the teachings of lineages of the Śakta-Śaiva Tantra, particularly as brought forward by the extraordinary medieval siddha guru, Rājānaka Abhinavagupta. Paul is particularly committed to  bringing forward deeply authentic and highly effective practices and teachings of modern meditation practice in the context of householder spirituality. And doing so always on the direct basis of the theoretical and philosophical teachings of this important ancient esoteric lineage of the Kashmiri śaiva masters.”  He is also focused on training teachers to help carry on his work.  We spoke about what distinguishes Kashmir Shavism from other systems, the practical value of integrating deep meditation and other transformative practices into daily life, and other vital topics for living a spiritual life.

Broadly speaking, there are to archetypical non-dual traditions, two very valid paths to bliss: The Non-Duality of Total Negation (Classical Advaita) & Kālī's Non-Duality of Total Acceptance (i.e Tāntrik Non-Duality or paramadvāya). Of course there are infinite shades of nuance and variation in between these two extremes. In this talk, we do a comparison of these two extreme models (or rather, flavor)s of non-dual Sādhanā, playing off of some ideas from last week's “Who Should Worship Kālī? | Dakṣiṇa Kālī vs Smaśāna Kālī” talk! This lecture is mostly a theoretical survey of the absolute state of realization which can anyone anywhere can attained through grace (i.e, sudden spontaneous insight) of course, but which is more likely to be a result of sincere spiritual practice! As for the practical side of this discussion, you might like to pair this talk with the What Do You Need To Start Worshipping Kālī & Practicing Tantra? lecture from two weeks ago! PS: you might find this lecture somewhat reminiscent of Who Created The World? | Vedanta vs Tantra and also Who or What is God? | Vedanta vs Tantra but we've certainly developed the ideas quite a bit since then! Support 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

It's actually an ancient wisdom tradition of self-awareness, embodiment, and liberation — and in this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I sit down with seventh-generation Tantra teacher, author of Break the Norms, and host of The Leela Show, Chandresh Bhardwaj, to explore the deeper truth of this sacred technology. CB is one of my favorite creators/teachers/poets on Instagram, and I just had to have him on the pod to learn more about his history and wisdom. Together, we unravel the myth of “linear healing” and look at why true transformation isn't about fixing yourself but remembering your innate wholeness. As part of that wholeness, we break down the rooted masculine and the wild feminine and why embodiment — not just mantra — creates lasting change. Chandresh beautifully articulates breaking free from fear-based teachings, trusting the unknown, and letting go of cultural and social scripts so you can live from your authentic self. We also break down the raw, unfiltered truth about Tantra's goddesses and their power and gifts. This is not just a conversation about sex as a portal for awakening (in fact, we barely touch on it!), but rather a conversation about love as liberation, embracing your enoughness, and daring to play in life's unfolding with curiosity, courage, and heart.
