For years, we thought better sex meant better techniques. New positions. More spark. More effort. More performance. But what if incredible sex isn't created by trying harder…what if it emerges when pressure disappears?   In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack why performance kills desire, how nervous system safety unlocks erotic depth, and why the sex only became incredible once the pressure to make it incredible was gone. This conversation moves beyond surface-level sex advice and into embodied intimacy, sacred touch, and layered orgasmic experience.   What You'll Hear in This Episode Why trying to fix sex rarely works and how performance culture quietly sabotages intimacy How the conditioning that keeps us in our heads instead of our bodies during sex Why pressure shuts down desire, and safety reopens it What is the sequence that transforms sex What are the four levels of orgasm, and why do most couples never move beyond the first How sacred touch practices shift intimacy from mechanical to embodied Why incredible sex isn't forced   When intimacy deepens long enough… It's no longer about fixing sex. And that's when the sex becomes incredible.

In Ayurveda, sex is not taboo: it is one of the three pillars of life, alongside food and sleep. When honored consciously, sexual energy builds vitality, creativity, immunity, and longevity. But when overstimulated or misused, it depletes ojas — our most refined vital essence responsible for resilience, radiance, and spiritual strength.In today's hypersexualized digital culture, pornography has become one of the most powerful yet unspoken forces shaping modern intimacy. While often normalized, porn addiction is quietly limiting men's emotional depth, nervous system regulation, spiritual connection, and capacity for embodied, conscious sex. But the impact doesn't stop there. It affects women, relationships, and the collective field of intimacy, pulling us out of embodiment and into reenactment.Instead of experiencing sacred sexuality as a living, breathing current of life force energy, many couples find themselves unconsciously replaying scripts learned from screens. Performance replaces presence. Stimulation replaces sensation. Disconnection replaces devotion.In this powerful episode, Sasha sits with Ben Timby, transformational coach, spiritual guide, and founder of Men's Sexual Mastery.Drawing from Tantric and Taoist sexual alchemy practices, along with modern behavioral neuroscience and psychology, Ben guides men in reclaiming their sexual energy as a sacred force for healing, vitality, and spiritual awakening.We explore how reclaiming sexual energy as life force, rather than consumption, restores vitality, strengthens relationships, and creates a healthier template of intimacy for future generations.If you've ever felt the quiet grief of what intimacy could be..If you've sensed that sexuality holds untapped spiritual power…If you believe that healing men's sexuality is central to healing our culture…this episode is for you. Send a textFor 20% off Kerala Ayurveda products, use code OjasOasis at checkoutFor 20% off GarryNSun products, use code OJASOASIS20 at checkoutFor 20% off Ora Cacao products, use OJASOASIS20 at checkout Receive $500 off your Panchakarma retreat at SoHum Healing Resort with code OjasOasisPK2025 Support the showTo learn more about working with us, please visit www.OjasOasis.com Connect with us @ojasoasis on Instagram, X, TikTok, and YouTube

So many couples say they want their sex life back.But what they're actually longing for isn't more performance… It's more presence.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, Kim & Roberto unpack why fading desire is rarely about libido — and almost always about emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and depth of connection.They explore the difference between mechanical sex and sacred intimacy, and why so many long-term couples are unknowingly pressing the gas and the brake at the same time.This conversation invites you to look beneath the surface and ask a more honest question:Do I want more sex… or do I want to feel deeply met? What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy couples often think they want more sex — when what they're actually craving is emotional intimacyHow stress, survival mode, and emotional disconnection quietly shut down desireWhat is the difference between mechanical sex and sacred intimacy rooted in presenceWhat are the four levels of orgasm, and why do most couples never move beyond the firstHow emotional safety, transparency, and vulnerability reopen the body.Why intimacy is cultivated through practice, not pressure or performance. Sex doesn't disappear because you're broken.It fades when safety fades.And when couples learn how to restore emotional connection… desire often returns naturally.The intimacy you've been missing was never about sex.It was about depth. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February and April Group Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

That quiet sense of flatness in a long-term relationship is often labelled as boredom… but what if it's actually a signal of readiness?In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we explore why so many couples feel numb, restless, or disconnected even when love is still present.

What if awakening wasn't something you reached for, but something you softened into? In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily sits down with Ma Ananda Sarita, a world-renowned Tantra master, for a quiet, deeply embodied conversation about devotion, presence, and awakening with and as the body. Rather than approaching Tantra as philosophy, technique, or sexuality, Sarita shares it as a lived path of devotion to life itself. A way of being in relationship with breath, sensation, emotion, eros, grief, and the simple truth of what is present. Awakening, she reflects, is not about transcendence or ascent, but about arriving fully into this moment. Together, Emily and Sarita explore what it means to slow down enough to actually feel, to allow life to move you rather than trying to control or optimize your experience, and to trust the body as a source of intelligence and love. They speak about tenderness, surrender, and the feminine way of awakening that unfolds through receptivity, listening, and intimacy with what is real. This episode is an invitation to soften your grip, deepen your presence, and remember that the sacred is not elsewhere. It is already here, waiting to be met.

Nitric oxide is a molecule your body already makes. It tells your blood vessels to open so blood can flow to your heart, your brain, and yes… your genitals. When it's flowing, erections are firmer, tissues are plumper, lubrication shows up naturally, and pleasure builds the way it's supposed to. When it drops? Everything fades. And most people have no idea that's what's happening. This episode is your roadmap to getting it back.WHAT WE COVERWhat nitric oxide does in your body and why Dr. Willow calls it your "natural opening signal"Signs yours might be low (softer erections, vaginal dryness, orgasms that feel like a fraction of what they used to be)Foods that boost it naturally: beets, arugula, spinach, dark leafy greensL citrulline and L arginine: the amino acid supplements that support nitric oxide (and why you take them daily, not right before intimacy)Saunas, steam rooms, and infrared: how heat widens blood vessels, lowers cortisol, supports testosterone, and detoxes endocrine disruptorsThe VFit red light therapy device: Dr. Willow's favorite intimate wellness tool for tissue health, natural lubrication, and sensitivity (Halle Berry is a fan too)A Tantric breathing practice for couples: synchronized breath, bellies together, hip spirals, pelvic floor pulses.

Midlife often gets labelled as a crisis… but for many couples, it's actually an awakening.It's the moment when old roles, surface-level connections, and autopilot living stop working, and something deeper starts asking for attention.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we explore why midlife is often when real intimacy finally becomes possible. Not because everything feels easy… but because pretending, performing, and avoiding truth no longer satisfies.They speak to the restlessness, desire for more, and emotional honesty that arise in this season and how couples can either grow apart or consciously meet each other in a deeper, more alive way.This conversation reframes mid-life not as a breakdown… but as the beginning of a more truthful, connected relationship. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy midlife isn't a crisis, but a wake-up call that something deeper wants to be livedHow many couples realize they've outgrown the version of love they were taughtWhy surface-level intimacy and habitual connection stop nourishing us in mid-lifeHow desire and sexuality often deepen with age, when truth and emotional safety come onlineWhy midlife brings buried wounds, unmet needs, and unspoken desires to the surfaceHow resistance shows up when growth is near and why resistance isn't failureWhy midlife love is no longer about habit, but about conscious choice and daily recommitment Midlife isn't asking you to blow everything up.It's inviting you to stop living on autopilot… and start choosing each other with honesty, presence, and depth.That's often where the relationship actually begins. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February and April Group Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

In this episode, I am joined by Dr Christopher “Hareesh” Wallis, a Sanskritist and scholar-practitioner of Classical Tantra.

Sanderson, offers his opinions about optimal pedagogy for Sanskrit language study, and questions lineage claims made in Tibetan Buddhism. Christopher also considers the tension between religious faith and academic skepticism, explains why he thinks it is possible to receive spiritual benefit from corrupt gurus, and descries why he believes spiritual awakening leads to a deep trust in the unfolding of life. … Video version: www.guruviking.com Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 00:57 - An unusual family of origin 03:28 - Mother's conversion to Hinduism 03:50 - Meeting Osho and Swami Muktananda 05:17 - Awakening experience at 16 years old 05:55 - Attraction to Tantric Shaivism 07:35 - Academic training and intellectual infatuation 09:00 - Multiple teachers 10:13 - Seeing through intellectual ego 12:57 - Teenage rebellion and psychedelics 14:44 - Love of sci fi and fantasy 17:05 - Siddha yoga shaktipat 18:33 - Gurumayi Chidvilasananda 20:33 - Heart opening shaktipat 24:01 - Saint or psychopath? 28:26 - The guru's shadow 30:18 - Transmission from a disgraced guru 32:25 - No single objective reality 35:32 - No doubts despite guru's flaws 38:18 - Has Christopher missed the point? 39:53 - Parsing subjective certainty 41:55 - A belief but not really 43:21 - Innate intelligence and trusting the unfolding of life 46:50 - Harmonising with the pattern 50:17 - Don't pretend to be more enlightened that you are 51:56 - The same awakening as the Buddha's 54:22 - Waking up out of your tradition 55:32 - Agnosticism about reincarnation 57:29 - BA at Rochester 01:00:53 - Alexis G.

Every January, couples feel the pressure to do better… communicate better… fight less… have more sex… be more intentional.But most New Year resolutions don't fail because couples don't care — they fail because they're built on pressure instead of capacity.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we unpack why real relationship change doesn't come from trying harder and what actually creates a lasting reset.This conversation invites couples to move beneath behaviour, habits, and willpower… and into nervous system awareness, embodied truth, and sustainable connection. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy most New Year resolutions are rooted in shame, judgment, and pressure, and why they collapse so quicklyHow ignoring the nervous system sabotages behaviour change, even when intentions are sincereWhy real transformation begins below the surface, not at the level of habits or communication scriptsThe difference between trying harder and building capacity, and why capacity is what relationships actually needHow tantra supports embodied presence instead of self-improvement and why this creates lasting intimacyWhy does one person choosing to go deeper often create safety for the other to follow You don't need a new version of yourself this year.You need more capacity to stay present, regulated, and connected when life gets real.That's the reset relationships actually need. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February and April Group Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

What if Kundalini is not about energy symptoms—but the direct path to Moksha? This talk explores Moksha and the sacred Shiva Shakti Union through the tantric science of liberation.  Rather than focusing on techniques or experiences, this Baba Talk by Maetreyii Ma reveals Kundalini as a process of consciousness transmutation—from individual identity to infinite being, from Atman to Paramatma, and into liberation while living. Drawing on classical Tantra, this talk explains how the awakening of Kundalini Shakti moves through the chakras and layers of existence, dissolving the belief in separation, and guiding the soul toward non-separation and the realization of the eternal Self. This is the path of the Jivanmukta, one who lives in the world while established in liberation. As consciousness ascends in frequency, individuality dissolves into the Infinite, revealing unity, divine essence, and the natural state of freedom known as Moksha. Kundalini is presented not as a physical sensation or dramatic experience, but as the sacred movement of consciousness toward its source through the Shiva Shakti Union. This teaching is for sincere seekers drawn to the tantric science of liberation, chakras and consciousness, and the realization of truth beyond the limitations of the separate self.

When life hits hard, most couples disconnect - not because they don't love each other, but because they don't know how to stay present in the face of shock, stress, or rupture.In this episode of Reignite: Love, Sex & Truth for Conscious Couples, we share a raw, real-life moment where everything felt destabilized and how tantra became the bridge that brought them back together instead of pulling them apart.This conversation isn't theoretical.It's lived.It's embodied.And it reveals why this work actually creates lasting change, not by preventing hard moments, but by teaching couples how to return to connection when those moments arrive. What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy tantra isn't about staying calm or spiritual… but about learning how to come back when you're activated or overwhelmedHow shock and stress land differently in each partner's nervous system, and why understanding this prevents blame and disconnectionWhat most couples do when life falls apart… and how presence, breath, and containment change the outcome completelyWhy repair doesn't have to be polite or pretty, and how honesty without harm creates real safetyHow delayed trauma shows up days or weeks later, and what allows it to complete instead of getting stuck in the bodyWhy tantra builds capacity for real life, not control over it, and how this deepens trust, intimacy, and erotic connectionWhat it actually means to choose each other again and again… even when everything feels uncertain Tantra works not because life gets easier… But because you learn how to stay connected when it doesn't. And that's the bridge back to each other. ✨ Save your spot for our upcoming February Couples Retreat: A sacred, guided experience for five couples ready to reconnect, heal, and reignite.

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

Whether you've been on a sacred feminine journey for decades, or just beginning...No matter what faith or spiritual practice you follow, whether you are agnostic or atheist...The healing energy of the deep feminine archetypes belongs to all of us, running like a loving current through us and our world.  When we lift-up the feminine within ourselves and our world, honoring the feminine with the masculine, everyone benefits as balance is restored.  When we attend to the world with our right brain perspective, we create a very different world than the world we create with our left brain perspective. The keys to planetary ascension are within.Dale Allen • In Our Right Minds: On the Sacred Feminine, the Right Brain and Restoring Humanity's Natural BalanceWebsite: https://www.inourrightminds.netBestselling Book: https://a.co/d/e8MZm8C Award-Winning Film: https://www.inourrightminds.net/watch-the-film.htmlJoin me on Facebook – Subscribe and FollowSupport the show~~~~~~~Coco Oya Cienna-Rey is a UK-based creative, mystic, soul guide and writer.

What is Kundalinī—really—and how did its meaning become so widely misunderstood?In this episode, Hareesh offers a careful historical and philosophical inquiry into one of the most charged and confusing terms in modern spirituality. Tracing the word Kundalinī back to its earliest appearances in classical Tantric sources, he reveals how its original meaning differs radically from popular contemporary interpretations. Rather than a dormant serpent-energy waiting to be awakened, Kundalinī is presented here as a dynamic process—an expression of Śakti arising through specific yogic conditions.

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

I've coached for more than 20 years. And every step of the way I've had several coaches who reveal my blind spots, encourage me to move beyond my edges, and enhance my mastery which I'm honored to pay forward with breathtaking results for my cherished clients. Most of these coaches have been one-on-one, yet every few years I join a group coaching program and meet phenomenal colleagues. In my current teacher trainer coaching program with John Wineland, right out of the gate a lovely woman reached out from the UK saying she felt a special connection to me and wanted to get to know each other better. Wow. Talk about feeling seen and valued.  Now for over a year we've been connecting before or after the live workshops for dinner or even a trip to the Turkish baths, as well as checking in online with each other's brave, soulful journeys. Kate Joyner is a true blessing in my life and what a treat to dive deeper into her magic and mastery Live in Mallorca, Spain for the podcast. In this beautiful. delicious, witchy, intimate conversation we discussed... -How she's lived on the edge of a national protected forest for several years communing in sacred relationship with nature. -How as women we've lost our magic, magic that originated in the temples and when persecuted, we fled to the forests, hunted and hiding our light, wisdom and Magic, fearing for our lives. -How we can't truly lose our magic forever, it's in there- she helps to ignite it in extraordinary rituals, ceremonies, practices, initiations and celebrations she facilitates globally as women reclaim their true essence. -How she fully embraces the transformative power of the shadow, the darkness, the underworld, and craves of romantic life partner who can meet her there and even take her deeper. -How our true light is found through embracing our dark emotions, the depth of our underworld, our messiness, letting go of control, all of it is the path to light and love.  -How she's committed to deeply honoring her intuition as she makes choices from her knowing not her mind, such as living in South America after her father passed and now, leaving that beautiful forest knowing her time there is complete as she embraces moving back to the States. -How in my opinion, her embracing of her Darkness is so alluring, she's deeply joyful as opposed to surface happy, she's trustable because she won't bullshit you, she's an accurate barometer of Truth and I'm honored and delighted to call her my sister.  ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

In this interview I am once again joined by Dr Ben Joffe, anthropologist, occultist, and scholar practitioner of Tibetan Buddhism.

Join host Michael Taft as he talks with Sravana Borkataky-Varma and Anya Foxen about the wild history of Kundalini—from it's ancient Tantric roots to modern global yoga culture—including subtle-body maps, spontaneous awakenings, and so-called “Kundalini syndromes.” They explore how different traditions define the serpent power, when experiences become breakdowns or breakthroughs, the role of teachers and lineages, and why “energy” can't be reduced to either neuroscience or fantasy. Along the way they dive into siddhis, the imaginal realm, goddess-centered practice, and what actually changes in your life and psyche when this mysterious force wakes up.Sravana Borkataky-Varma specializes in Hindu traditions, in particular, she delves into topics such as esoteric rituals and bodily concepts, especially in relation to Hindu śākta tantra traditions, often referred to as goddess tantra. She adopts a research methodology that blends social anthropology—examined from an outside perspective—with elements of reflexive autoethnography that reflect her personal experiences. As an educator, she holds the position of Instructional Assistant Professor at the University of Houston. She has formerly taught at Harvard Divinity School, Rice University, to name a few. Sravana is committed to building communities that bring together individuals from various religious backgrounds who aspire to lead lives marked by kindness and compassion. The Serpent's Tale: Kuṇḍalinī, Yoga, and the History of an Experience, Embodied Pedagogies in the Study of Religion: Transforming the Classroom, are two of her recent books, among many other books and articles. More information about Sravana can be found on her website, https://sravanaspeaks.com/Anya Foxen is a historian and comparativist scholar of religion. She is currently an Associate Professor of Religious Studies at California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, as well as a Research Associate at the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard University.

She is the author of four books, including Inhaling Spirit: Harmonialism, Orientalism, and the Western Roots of Modern Yoga, and, most recently, The Serpent's Tale: Kuṇḍalinī, Yoga, and the History of an Experience.
