In this episode, Anne Bland discusses the 4B movement from South Korea that focuses on autonomy, self-respect, and self-empowerment. The 4B movement stands for four ‘no's: no marriage, no childbirth, no dating, and no sexual relationships with men until women have the same rights and opportunities as men. But this isn't just about saying ‘no'; it's about saying ‘yes' to living life on one's own terms, creating space for true happiness, liberation, and fulfilment. After the presidential elections, 4B (and 5B, 6B and 7B) movement has gained momentum in the USA where women's sexual health rights are in jeopardy. Anne explores how the 4B movement's message of radical autonomy aligns with Selfishly Happy Revolution and how reclaiming pleasure can become a powerful, positive force.Anne explains what it means to embrace autonomy and pleasure in a world that often prioritises economic productivity and performance over self-care and conformity over individuality. Drawing on concepts from Tantra and therapeutic self-empowerment, this episode speaks to anyone ready to embrace a life that aligns with their deepest values, regardless of gender.What's Covered in This Episode?Understanding the 4B Movement: Its origins, principles, and what it represents for self-empowerment.Moving Beyond the Dominance Model: How societal "dominance model" coined by Dr Riane Eisler impacts personal autonomy and the relevance of challenging it today.Selfishly Happy Revolution: Why autonomy and pleasure are empowering choices that can redefine well-being.Concrete Steps to Embrace Autonomy: Practical ways to bring autonomy and pleasure into everyday life, including:• Rethinking consumer habits and addressing the pink tax• Supporting women-owned businesses• Reclaiming pleasure and self-connection as paths to well-being5. Three Transformative Practices: Grounding Breath, Heart-Centred Visualisation, and Emotion-Naming Body Scan to help listeners reconnect with themselves and process emotions in a healthy, empowered way.Key Takeaways• The 4B movement isn't about rejecting relationships but about prioritising self-respect, well-being, and authentic connection for a period of time.• Embracing autonomy and pleasure allows each person to break free from societal expectations that don't align with their true values.• Simple practices can help reconnect with oneself, redefine relationships, and find greater happiness and fulfilment.Call to ActionAnne encourages listeners to reflect on where they might be saying ‘yes' out of obligation rather than joy. Could you start choosing what brings happiness and peace instead? This episode guides listeners in taking concrete steps toward a life that's Selfishly Happy: avoid the "pink tax", support women- and ethnic minority-owned businesses, and celebratete pleasure as a path to well-being.Connect with AnneIf you enjoyed this episode, make sure to subscribe to Tantric Sex for Lovers and Others for more episodes on empowerment, self-discovery, and pleasure.

Alex Lubarsky, the founder of Science Of Human Optimization, Inc. and author of “YOUTHFUL LONGEVITY: Why Living to 100 Vibrant, Productive, and Fulfilling Years is Your Birthright, and Mandate,” shares his personal story of how overcoming a medical challenge through natural modalities led him to become a key influencer in the field of integrative medicine.

He expresses his disappointment with the virtual news blackout of the event by the mainstream media; critics of integrative medicine were quick to label it “disinformation” and called for a crackdown. How can we bridge the partisan gap that creates battle lines around the rational project of making America healthy again?
Original airdate: July 26, 2022 As children, we believe that anything is possible. We see the world through the lens of curiosity, openness and joy.

PART 1. There is an interesting phenomena that Anne Bland has noticed recently in such an extend that she felt it required, not just one, but two part episode. In the dating world that encourages one-night stands, Tantric circles, ethical non-monogamous, and polyamory situations, Anne has learned that women can feel broken. In this 2-part episode, she discusses how the pressures of "being empowered in sex and sexuality" - which in so many words means casual sex - can lead women to feel disconnected and guilty, and many have used the phrase: "Am I somehow broken...?"The female biochemistry, especially the "happy hormones" kick in after sex more than in male bodies and can make women less ablet o detach emotionally. Anne also discusses how Tantra explains this through Yin and Yang, the opposite energy poles, in male and female bodies and how it can cause women to feel these unnecessary negative emotions.If you feel like this or have any questions please contact Anne below.Book a free 30-minute Zoom call to explore coaching: https://link.tekmatix.com/widget/bookings/desire-call-with-anneDownload a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthrightJoin the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-questPodcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcastEmail: annebland(at)selfishlyhappyyou.comSend a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy

Sacrificing the comforts of life is often seen as part of the “spiritual path,” so it might seem unusual to hear from a Vedic master that, “You deserve the best.”Yet this is one of the key teachings of Swami Bramhananda Saraswati, Thom's master's master, also referred to as Guru Deva.In this episode, Thom clarifies the meaning and intent of Guru Deva's quote, reconciling the notion of deserving the best with the “pervasive guilt” that often holds us back from claiming or accepting the best.

We haven't been taught about relationships and how to become happy in couplehood. There isn't an MBA for Relationships - and there really should be. Sometimes it is just about learning the tools and having a roadmap to co-create a beautiful, loving, healing, and sexy relationship. Anne Bland shares her experience from her Tantric retreat for couples and celebrates the conscious coupling where partners can grow and heal far better than when alone, proving that both parties are willing to do the work. Relationships are big trigger points that bring light to the shadow parts that were established due to childhood unmet needs. Becoming self-aware of these and having support is the first step in having great relationships. Safety is paramount in any relationship and if you do not feel safe at all levels, please reach out for help and make sure you are safe.

This episode is a deep dive into the transformative practice of Tantra known as "The Art of Body Worshipping." Anne sheds light on the urgent need to address and dismantle the harmful beauty standards that lead to unnecessary cosmetic surgeries and alterations and discusses the pressures faced not only by women but also young men, highlighting the extreme measures of 'looksmaxxing.' Anne passionately advocates for self-acceptance and the rejection of societal pressures that distort our perception of beauty. Tantra, with its ancient wisdom, offers a path back to embracing our true essence, inviting us to see the divinity within ourselves and in each other.

Freedom is Your Birthright/Self-Awareness with Dr. Dravon James Most of us would like to be happier, have more influence, be better decision-makers, and be more effective leaders. So, what will it take for us to get there? It turns out self-awareness might be the most important muscle we need to develop! Having an accurate sense of who we are helps us identify where we can improve in life. People with high self-awareness seem to understand what makes them tick and how to respond to life more effectively. However, research shows that even though most people believe they are self-aware, only 10-15% of the people studied actually fit the criteria!

How to become a masterful Tantric lover? What are the best Tantric techniques for a man? In this episode, Anne Bland follows on the discussion of differences between the opposite energy poles of male and female bodies and how a man can become a better lover. Are there specific, sacred Tantric techniques or is it more about getting to know yourself as a man as one of Anne's ex-clients claim and unlearning all you've known sex to be?Download a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthright-ebook Join the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-quest Podcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcast Email: annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com Book a free coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/annebland/free-call Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy Support the show: https://selfishlyhappyyou.com/buy-me-a-coffee
In this episode, Anne Bland suggests a different, more "yin way", for men to experience pleasure based on receiving and surrendering. She discusses the different energy poles of the male and female genitalia and hearts and how they have impacted the way conventional sex is portrayed and understood in society. A man's genitalia being yang, it can be challenging for men to be a receiver of pleasure and because of the cultural conditioning it is easy to confuse the energies with the gender roles. Despite these issues, Anne claims that the way to a man's heart is, not through his stomach, but through his penis. This is based on the Taoist understanding of the different energy poles of the body. Finally, Anne suggests that a soft penetration can be extremely liberating and one of the most exquisite and loving experiences of pleasure because it balances the polar opposite genital energies.Download a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthright-ebook Join the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-quest Podcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcast Email: annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com Book a free coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/annebland/free-call Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy Support the show: https://selfishlyhappyyou.com/buy-me-a-coffee

The last two episodes have been about trauma - so today it's all about pleasure, and more specifically, how to bring the Sex Goddess out of a woman. Anne Bland shares in this episode how the Taoist tradition understands genitalia from an energetic point of view: the female genitalia is more Yin and the male genitalia more Yang and what that means during turn-on, arousal and penetration.Download a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthright-ebook Join the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-quest Podcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcast Email: annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com Book a free coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/annebland/free-call Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy Support the show: https://selfishlyhappyyou.com/buy-me-a-coffee
(NB. Trigger warning about childhood sexual trauma and child marriage) This is a coaching-style episode that starts with Anne Bland and her guest, Francy, catching up with Francy's sexual healing journey over the last six months when they first met on the "Life With Francy" podcast. For the first time, on that episode, Francy shared publically about her childhood sexual trauma by her biological father and her child marriage when she was only 14. Having been culturally conditioned that pleasure is only for a man and it's a woman's duty to serve their needs, Francy has come a long way and now talks about mental health and her polyamory on her podcast, providing hope and a roadmap that things can be different. At the end of the episode, Anne guides Francy through a process of re-wiring her nervous system into calmness when it comes to pleasure in the midst of two conflicting cultures: those of Puerto Rico and the USA. If you feel triggered by this story please reach out for help. You can also email Anne to see if you want to come on the Asking for a Friend episode or to explore private coaching. Please note that if you have an active trauma, Anne is not a medical professional or a trauma coach and you are encouraged to seek professional trauma help.

(NB. Trigger warning of childhood sexual abuse) The listeners have been asking for Anne Bland's personal story about why she started Tantric Sex for Lovers and Others podcast and Tantric Sex Coaching. In this episode, Anne is finally ready to get vulnerable and talk about her personal healing story which has been traumatic and painful but also full of love and light, pleasure and connection. This journey has made Anne who she is today and the way she can hold space for her coaching clients in a safe and strong way. As Anne says: "Healing is hard work and that's why we need a Pleasure Path to go with it!" Selfishly Happy Revolution is about becoming more of you, not less. It also means feeling all the feelings, even if they are painful, to release trauma from the body and to bring "all of you" into integration and alignment. As a trauma-informed coach, Anne emphasises the good news: " Because trauma lives in the body at the nervous system level, it can always be re-wired through pleasure into healing. Humans are designed to be resilient - we just need to know how to do it."

In this episode, Anne Bland is joined by Franziska Amoris to discuss whether size matters in sex. They cover the topic from both the penis and vagina/vulva points of view. Does size matter in sexual intercourse or anal play? What is the impact of the uniform image of "the porn pussy" on women's self-confidence? They are inviting more acceptance of diversity and connection to one's own genitalia - whatever it looks like. Franziska referred to episode 04: How To Make My Partner Want Sex with Me? when she discussed different ways people have turn-ons and how they are sexually aroused.Download a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthright-ebook Join the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-quest Podcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcast Email: annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com Book a free coaching discovery call: https://calendly.com/annebland/free-call Send a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy Support the show: https://selfishlyhappyyou.com/buy-me-a-coffee
How do you self-pleasure? How do you masturbate? Is Tantric self-pleasure different from the "normal" one? Anne Bland shares her ideas for Tantric self-pleasure in this episode - whether you want to do it on a mountaintop or on a train! Many mistakenly think that Tantric self-pleasure is to go slow and have incense and candles, but it can also be a Tantric quickie. The difference is mindfulness and going intentionally without any guilt or shame. Tantra can also be about the flow between the yang type of arousal where there's a lot of excitement and the yin type of relaxing into pleasure. Alternating these opposing energies can take you into blissful and orgasmic states that can re-wire your nervous system for new pleasure. This week's invitation for long-term listeners: go to Apple Podcasts and leave a review with your favourite episode of the show so far and why you liked it. Next week Anne is going to give you a shout-out and share your review to inspire others to listen to your favourite episode.

On today's episode I am having a discussion about Discovering Joy as Your Birthright with Dr. Tanmeet Sethi. Sr Sethi is a renowned Integrative Family physician and Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine and has dedicated the past 25 years to working with the most marginalized communities and global survivors of major traumatic events. Dr. Sethi is also a TEDx speaker and the author of the inspiring book, "Joy is My Justice: Reclaim What Is Yours." Dr. Sethi's book emphasizes the importance of living joyfully regardless of circumstances, and in this podcast episode she shares her philosophy on why joy is our birthright and how we can claim it in our lives. She also shares her personal journey that led her to this belief and how it transformed her perspective on life.Dr. Sethi also clarifies the distinction between joy and happiness, providing insights into their unique characteristics and how they affect our well-being differently. She explains why rediscovering joy should be viewed as an ongoing practice rather than a destination or solution, and she elaborates on how this approach can aid in healing from past traumas.As the conversation continues, Dr. Sethi shares some of the common reasons many of us struggle with finding/cultivating joy and provides practical tools to help us rediscover joy in our lives. Lastly, we will discuss why Dr. Sethi's challenges the mainstream wellness definition of resilience and her unique perspective on what true resilience means in the face of adversity. Including the exploration of the question "why not me" instead of "why me".

Why is it that some people seem happier than others? Are they born happy, or have they made a practice of it? Evidence from the emerging science of happiness tells us that although genetics account for 50% of our happiness quotient, 40% comes as a result of our personal choices (with life circumstances accounting for the other 10%.). The best choices can be difficult to make, though, when we are barraged by all the stressors in our day to day lives- stressors that can make it all too easy for our mind to start distorting our reality if we don't take command of our thoughts.How to take command of troubling thoughts? Exercise your happiness muscle in the Gymnasium of the Mind.In this episode of the Women Living well After 50 Podcast, my guest is Dr Dravon James Founder and Director of Everyday Peace. and author of Freedom is Your Birthright,http://www.drdravonjames.com/ Sue LoncaricWomen Living Well After 50Email: sue@womenlivingwellafter50.com.auFacebook Instagram
Our voices aren't just for singing. They're for every form of self-expression – and most especially, your marketing. Ariella Rahma Forstein, also known as the Songstress Priestess, joins us to share her method for unlocking the true power of your voice through inner healing and how you can win over your audience through your speaking events and content creation every single time. Tune in to this new episode of The Conscious Marketer podcast — Harness The Power Of Your Voice With Ariella Rahma Forstein. Key points covered in this episode: [00:06:19] Voice training is more than just technique. It involves the mind, body, and soul. Limiting beliefs and childhood trauma can hold us back from speaking with our true, empowered voice. [00:11:52] Loosen your throat chakra. Ariella guides clients to identify the past hurt that has accumulated in this area and gently alleviate the block. [00:15:49] Silence is as important as speaking. Get used to the lull. Avoid filling it with filler words, but don't beat yourself up when you do say them. Allow your audience to take a breath with you. [00:21:49] Get creative in retelling your origin story. Like how musicians and performers do the same piece in different arrangements, give yourself room to experiment with added anecdotes, moods, and intonations. [00:24:23] Every word we say is marketing. It can affect someone – positively or negatively. Speak your truth by grounding yourself with your body and relaxing your voice and throat muscles through vocal exercises. Ariella Rahma Forstein is a 16-year Vocal Empowerment Coach & Alchemist. She delivered a TEDx Talk called "Singing is Your Birthright” and has worked with hundreds of clients individually and thousands in groups, guiding them to harness the power of their voices, expression, and inner authority. AKA: Mind-body-soul-voice alignment. She's stepped onto the Priestess path, ritualizing life in traditional and unique ceremonies, and is a Songstress, writing her first solo album and preparing to share her music broadly over the next 3 years. She values deep connection, community, mother nature, and a splendid cup of hand-blended tea.
