Long-term relationships aren't meant to choose between passion and partnership. They're meant to hold both. In this episode of Reignite Love, Sex, and Truth for Conscious Couples (formerly known as Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples), we explore how stability and spark work together to create a relationship that feels safe, alive, playful, and deeply connected.They share personal stories and practical wisdom from their own journey and the couples they support inside Phoenix Rising Retreats. What You'll Hear in This Episode:Why long-term love often drifts into “roommate mode”How stability without passion quietly erodes intimacyHow erotic polarity reignites desire Why passion fades (it's not age or compatibility) and how to rebuild it through play, presence, and nervous-system safetyFor women: How pleasure, radiance, and aliveness return when you stop over-functioning and start feeling againFor men: Why presence and not performance is the most powerful sexual energy you can bring to your relationship.What are the simple, daily practices to restore both passion and partnership even in the busiest seasons of life Passion doesn't die with time... it dies when we stop feeding the fire.Partnership doesn't have to feel boring...it becomes magnetic when both partners choose to stay awake in love. Our Group Retreats at Phoenix Rising are now open for registration.Here's what you can expect at our retreats:A safe, intimate container where every couple chooses growthPractices that help you witness and be witnessed without judgmentOpportunities to see yourself through the lens of others' experiencesTime to integrate and connect privately with your partner This kind of reflection is priceless.It's not about being like anyone else… It's about finally seeing yourself clearly and choosing the way forward with your partner. How many times have you pulled away instead of leaning in? How long do you want that pattern to run your relationship? We're keeping this retreat small - just 5 couples - so you get the intimacy and support you deserve. Rooms (GeoDomes or cottages) are chosen first-come, first-served.

In this episode of the Reignite Love, Sex, and Truth for Conscious Couples (formally known as: Get Your Sexy Back Podcast for Couples) , we dive into the truth about the conversations most couples avoid and how those silences slowly create distance, resentment, and disconnection in love, sex, and everyday intimacy.

(00:00-17:49) Sharing in the love and matrimony. Sorry for employing people. Jackson went to Columbia for Friday's basketball game against SEMO but didn't stay for the football game. Italians, The Antlers, and Mizzou Nationalists catching strays. Mizzou's season over. Blues 6 on 5 struggles are back. Audio of Drink's short response to the question about the struggles against ranked teams.(17:57-34:18) That last possession of the first half was head scratching to say the least. Audio of Drink talking about the thought process on that drive that let to the strip sack setting up A&M's second touchdown. Deep dive shows Mizzou is winless against SEC teams that finished seasons with a winning conference record.(34:28-45:08) Being a bowl representative must be a good gig. The old 6 on 5 How Do You Do got the Blues again on Saturday. Audio of the Kraken's game-tying goal with about one second left.

This weeks podcast is a powerful transmission from Chantelle shared at our Fundamentals of Tantra workshop in Perth. Chantelle guides us into the living map of inner polarity, where masculine and feminine energies, both light and dark, coexist as one unified whole.Through the lens of the four archetypes: Light Masculine, Dark Masculine, Light Feminine, and Dark Feminine, you'll discover how each aspect of your being carries a sacred gift and a shadow. This is where the real Tantra begins: not in transcending emotion or chasing stillness, but in mastering the dance between action and surrender, love and truth, creation and destruction.This episode is a call to step beyond polarity into presence, to cultivate the spacious witnessing of the light masculine, the fierce clarity of the dark masculine, the tender heart of the light feminine, and the raw aliveness of the dark feminine. Together, they form the soul's compass: a way of living that's both grounded in purpose and drenched in feeling.This conversation will illuminate how mastering your inner polarity changes everything, from how you love, to how you lead, to how you meet yourself in every breath.Inside This Episode:• What the four archetypes of masculine and feminine truly represent• How to recognize when you're polarized in one energy (and what to do about it)• The difference between Light and Dark expressions — and why both are sacred• Why meditation and movement are equally essential to awakening• How to cultivate balance through practical Tantric tools• The power of bringing compassion to your fire and presence to your softness• Living from soul — the center point where all archetypes uniteThere's a freedom that comes when you stop trying to “be” one thing — and allow all of you to exist.This is the path of inner mastery. The path of Tantra.Top Quotes:“Life isn't just stillness — it's the flow of both.”“When we live from soul, we have access to it all — the dark, the light, the masculine, the feminine.”“The work isn't to choose a side. It's to learn how to dance between them.”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
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).

What happens when the rigor of neuroscience meets the depth of nondual philosophy?In this wide-ranging conversation, Hareesh and Dr. Shamil Chandaria explore the meeting point between consciousness studies, neuroscience, and the Tantric vision of reality. They discuss Shamil's new course Rewiring Your Reality—a 21st-century synthesis of meditation, philosophy, and cognitive science—and examine perennial questions about awakening, liberation, and the nature of experience itself. The dialogue unfolds through reflections on AI, the limits of scientific explanation, and the timeless dance of Śiva and Śakti as consciousness exploring its own patterns. Together they inquire into whether the universe is moving toward greater self-knowledge or already complete in its perfection.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.Find out more about the upcoming retreats and pilgrimages at https://www.tantrailluminated.org/calendar.

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.

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

She shares, with the permission of her guru,chanting practices formerly kept secret – passed on from guru to disciple. She also gives a thorough treatment of the spiritual dynamics behind the process of tantric chanting.

What lies at the heart of one of the most revered scriptures of non-dual Tantra?In this episode, we hear a direct reading of the opening and closing verses of the Vijñāna-bhairava-tantra, a text composed over a thousand years ago that frames 112 transformative meditation practices. These verses are far more than an introduction or conclusion—they carry profound insights into the nature of reality, the relationship of Śiva and Śakti, and the ultimate context in which Tantric practice becomes effective. Rendered here in a fresh translation, the words of the Goddess and Bhairava point us beyond ritual and form into the essence of awareness itself. Listeners are invited into the contemplative power of scripture, allowing the poetry of these ancient teachings to speak directly to the heart.Discover a treasure trove of guided meditations, teachings, and courses at tantrailluminated.org.Find out more about the upcoming retreats and pilgrimages at https://www.tantrailluminated.org/calendar.
