WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.480 Welcome to the Feminine Power Podcast and in 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:06.240 today's episode I am excited to share with you 00:00:06.240 --> 00:00:09.480 some of the most powerful and life -changing 00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:15.400 principles of Tantra that I believe if we embody 00:00:15.400 --> 00:00:21.109 we can live truly truly meaningful and fulfilling 00:00:21.109 --> 00:00:25.109 lives, we can walk through life with more presence, 00:00:25.410 --> 00:00:29.570 with more truth, with deep acceptance and with 00:00:29.570 --> 00:00:34.630 a lot of pleasure and connection. These principles 00:00:34.630 --> 00:00:39.909 can also be really used as Tools is frameworks 00:00:39.909 --> 00:00:42.469 that really help all of us to come back home 00:00:42.469 --> 00:00:45.490 to ourselves, to deepen our self -worth, to connect 00:00:45.490 --> 00:00:48.869 to our purpose and to move through life with 00:00:48.869 --> 00:00:53.649 embodied acceptance. These principles teach us 00:00:53.649 --> 00:00:56.810 how to live through the body, through sensations, 00:00:57.090 --> 00:01:00.149 through energy, through staying connected to 00:01:00.149 --> 00:01:03.850 our true essence instead of relying on external 00:01:03.850 --> 00:01:07.760 structures. This episode is different from others 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:12.980 as it is really a recording from one of our classes 00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:15.879 inside of the feminine power blueprint. So bear 00:01:15.879 --> 00:01:19.200 that in mind when you listen. This is a recording 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:23.299 of a live class. So by listening to this episode 00:01:23.299 --> 00:01:25.819 you will receive an experience that is a bit 00:01:25.819 --> 00:01:28.439 more interactive. There will be questions that 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.730 you can reflect on and if you want you can pause 00:01:31.730 --> 00:01:34.709 the episode to reflect deeper or even do some 00:01:34.709 --> 00:01:37.069 journaling with it. Just bear in mind that this 00:01:37.069 --> 00:01:39.909 is not an episode that was created as a podcast, 00:01:40.269 --> 00:01:44.250 it is a recording of a live class.

If you're ready to rise, 00:03:00.409 --> 00:03:03.050 you're in the right place. Follow the show and 00:03:03.050 --> 00:03:08.370 let's begin. Tantra is something that allows 00:03:08.370 --> 00:03:11.830 us people to truly love and accept ourselves, 00:03:12.449 --> 00:03:15.270 all the parts of ourselves and all parts of life. 00:03:16.650 --> 00:03:19.650 And why I feel like it's becoming even more relevant 00:03:19.650 --> 00:03:23.710 these days is because this is one of philosophies 00:03:23.710 --> 00:03:27.689 out there, one of few that traditionally and 00:03:27.689 --> 00:03:30.169 initially even thousands of years ago has been 00:03:30.169 --> 00:03:33.500 evolved and developed for everyone. regardless 00:03:33.500 --> 00:03:36.460 of their gender, of their caste, of where they're 00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:39.080 coming from, of their skin color, of anything. 00:03:39.740 --> 00:03:42.740 At the very core of Tantra is an idea of non 00:03:42.740 --> 00:03:49.139 -duality, of everything being divine, including 00:03:49.139 --> 00:03:52.840 a lot of things that many religions and philosophies 00:03:52.840 --> 00:03:58.479 labeled as dirty or shameful or unimportant for 00:03:58.479 --> 00:04:01.860 spiritual growth. At the very core of Tantra 00:04:01.860 --> 00:04:05.150 is that in reality we need to embrace everything 00:04:05.150 --> 00:04:08.789 and everything can be a path to divinity and 00:04:08.789 --> 00:04:12.909 that also means that our pains and struggles 00:04:12.909 --> 00:04:16.790 and difficulties and suffering and even disease 00:04:16.790 --> 00:04:21.209 all of that can be a path to divine so therefore 00:04:21.209 --> 00:04:25.069 embracing tantric principles can help us be really 00:04:25.069 --> 00:04:30.459 free and can help us find answers not by going 00:04:30.459 --> 00:04:34.199 somewhere to a very specific place to pray, or 00:04:34.199 --> 00:04:37.839 not by going to a very specific school or a teacher 00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:42.199 to receive knowledge, but by actually tuning 00:04:42.199 --> 00:04:46.379 in within what we already have, our bodies, our 00:04:46.379 --> 00:04:49.920 pains, our life experiences, our struggles, our 00:04:49.920 --> 00:04:54.420 pleasure, and everything around that we have 00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:57.519 can help us find answers. This is why tantric 00:04:57.519 --> 00:05:00.399 can be so, so helpful in today's life. I'm going 00:05:00.399 --> 00:05:02.500 to deep dive into very simple principles, but 00:05:02.500 --> 00:05:05.540 before we go there, I feel like I need to address 00:05:05.540 --> 00:05:07.879 the hottest question. And a lot of you already 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:09.800 have a lot of awareness, but I just want to still 00:05:09.800 --> 00:05:12.560 address it. And yes, there is definitely tantric 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:16.180 sex. And at the very core, everything can be 00:05:16.180 --> 00:05:19.800 tantric. It's just that we've... chosen tantric 00:05:19.800 --> 00:05:21.839 sex to be the most interesting part of everything. 00:05:22.019 --> 00:05:24.800 Sex can be very tantric and can be really, really 00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:27.819 rewarding and pleasureful to look at sexuality 00:05:27.819 --> 00:05:31.860 and pleasure as a pathway to the divine. But 00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:34.639 tantra is not limited to that. That is not to 00:05:34.639 --> 00:05:37.800 shame those people who are finding tantra through 00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:41.060 sexuality. A lot of people are actually finding 00:05:41.060 --> 00:05:44.579 tantra because they are interested specifically 00:05:44.579 --> 00:05:48.019 in tantric sex and that is not a thing to look 00:05:48.019 --> 00:05:51.279 down at at all. In fact, discovering tantras 00:05:51.279 --> 00:05:53.560 through tantric sexuality can be an incredible 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:57.560 pathway into a bigger tantric path because if 00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:02.000 someone found more presence and more connection 00:06:02.000 --> 00:06:05.480 through sexualities, it's only a beautiful thing. 00:06:05.860 --> 00:06:07.540 And in today's class, I just want to share a 00:06:07.540 --> 00:06:12.180 few principles that are helpful. and if we embrace 00:06:12.180 --> 00:06:15.899 them in all areas of life, including our connection 00:06:15.899 --> 00:06:21.769 to our self -love, acceptance. wellbeing, sex, 00:06:22.350 --> 00:06:25.370 relationships, money, building a business, living 00:06:25.370 --> 00:06:28.069 an everyday life. All of that can be improved. 00:06:28.449 --> 00:06:30.790 And this is why we're having this class at the 00:06:30.790 --> 00:06:34.209 very beginning of this journey, because by embodying 00:06:34.209 --> 00:06:36.629 all these principles, allowing them to also sink 00:06:36.629 --> 00:06:39.310 in with time and coming back maybe to this class, 00:06:39.529 --> 00:06:42.550 I will share with you a PDF where everything 00:06:42.550 --> 00:06:44.089 that I'm going to share is going to be written 00:06:44.089 --> 00:06:46.519 down. It can be very helpful. And especially 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:48.319 if you experience something that is difficult 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.319 or any kind of resistance. Again, it can be really 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.680 helpful to remember these principles. And I would 00:06:53.680 --> 00:06:55.579 like to start with some reflections. You don't 00:06:55.579 --> 00:06:58.180 have to respond to it just for you in your own 00:06:58.180 --> 00:07:00.939 mind and your own body. Reflect a little bit 00:07:00.939 --> 00:07:03.639 how deeply do you feel connected to your body. 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:07.079 Yeah, we're going to talk a lot about the body. 00:07:07.980 --> 00:07:14.810 So what that means is can you feel... the tension 00:07:14.810 --> 00:07:19.790 in your body or freedom or safety or sensations, 00:07:19.970 --> 00:07:23.189 pleasure at any time. Just closing your eyes 00:07:23.189 --> 00:07:25.529 and feeling how much can you feel what's happening 00:07:25.529 --> 00:07:32.970 in my body. Another question is how aware are 00:07:32.970 --> 00:07:35.569 you of your energy and especially the effect 00:07:35.569 --> 00:07:39.230 of your energy on others? Can you notice how 00:07:39.230 --> 00:07:43.540 much your own energy affects the room? When you 00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:47.819 come in or how other people feel because of your 00:07:47.819 --> 00:07:52.920 energy in the room. And just again noting that. 00:07:54.899 --> 00:07:57.199 And a simple question. This is just a yes or 00:07:57.199 --> 00:08:01.680 no. Do you have a practice in place to work with 00:08:01.680 --> 00:08:07.500 your energy? And that's just a yes or no. We're 00:08:07.500 --> 00:08:10.699 going to really address that today. And lastly 00:08:10.699 --> 00:08:13.899 is what relationship with your energy do you 00:08:13.899 --> 00:08:18.139 desire to have? Can be quite complex but just 00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:20.279 seeing what comes to you. What relationship with 00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:31.620 your energy do you desire to have? So these are 00:08:31.620 --> 00:08:33.940 reflections that you can look into and if you 00:08:33.940 --> 00:08:37.350 want you can journal on them. But we are going 00:08:37.350 --> 00:08:39.669 to deep dive into maybe some of the answers to 00:08:39.669 --> 00:08:42.769 these questions today. So I'm going to go through 00:08:42.769 --> 00:08:46.250 a little bit about what is actually Tantra and 00:08:46.250 --> 00:08:49.389 where you can learn more. We can't really discuss 00:08:49.389 --> 00:08:52.539 the entire... concept of this very complex tradition, 00:08:52.940 --> 00:08:55.399 but I have a couple of books that I can recommend 00:08:55.399 --> 00:08:58.159 if you really want to deep dive into history 00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:01.340 and lineages and principles etc. That is not 00:09:01.340 --> 00:09:03.799 a part of the course, it is not necessary at 00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:05.759 all, it's just for if you have some curiosity 00:09:05.759 --> 00:09:09.279 around it. But the whole idea of today's class 00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:11.480 it will be more about how can we learn some of 00:09:11.480 --> 00:09:13.820 the principles to really really improve our lives 00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:16.679 and in the end we are going to look into daily 00:09:16.679 --> 00:09:20.730 practice because Tantra is a path, same as awakening 00:09:20.730 --> 00:09:25.049 your feminine power is a path and life is a path 00:09:25.049 --> 00:09:29.309 and the most important thing we can do to really 00:09:29.309 --> 00:09:33.330 really stay connected and grow and evolve and 00:09:33.330 --> 00:09:37.049 live a fulfilling life is to consistently commit 00:09:37.049 --> 00:09:39.129 to ourselves and that is what daily practice 00:09:39.129 --> 00:09:41.659 can help to do. And we have a few recommendations 00:09:41.659 --> 00:09:43.419 for you, but I've already seen quite a few of 00:09:43.419 --> 00:09:45.679 you have a daily practice, which is amazing. 00:09:45.679 --> 00:09:48.860 And I'd love to hear what your current practice 00:09:48.860 --> 00:09:53.899 consists of. So again, this is something you'll 00:09:53.899 --> 00:09:57.220 have if you want to read it again, but just to 00:09:57.220 --> 00:10:04.440 touch upon this. This tradition really honors 00:10:04.440 --> 00:10:10.559 people and emotions and experiences of Any quality. 00:10:11.279 --> 00:10:15.419 There is no good or bad. There is no valid experience 00:10:15.419 --> 00:10:18.220 or non -valid experience. There are no people 00:10:18.220 --> 00:10:21.399 who are not supposed to practice Tantra because 00:10:21.399 --> 00:10:24.799 at the very core... of this tradition is non 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:28.419 -duality so everything has consciousness everything 00:10:28.419 --> 00:10:31.820 is divine everything has a place therefore this 00:10:31.820 --> 00:10:34.279 whole tradition can really help us live a very 00:10:34.279 --> 00:10:36.559 fulfilling life because we are not disassociating 00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:40.279 from anything we are not closing ourselves off 00:10:40.279 --> 00:10:42.779 from any experiences and we are not suppressing 00:10:42.779 --> 00:10:45.139 anything we rather are looking at everything 00:10:45.139 --> 00:10:48.659 that is happening or whatever we're feeling and 00:10:48.919 --> 00:10:52.440 seeing what's underneath and where is an opportunity 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:56.159 for growth, where is an opportunity for going 00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.460 deeper and connecting deeper into our own truth 00:10:59.460 --> 00:11:03.080 and divinity. One of the core principles of Tantra 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:07.519 is to embrace all aspects of life as sacred. 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:12.919 And let's just really lean back now into this 00:11:12.919 --> 00:11:18.320 and see what does that actually mean. If everything 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:23.299 is sacred, what does it mean for us? That means 00:11:23.299 --> 00:11:28.899 that whatever we are seeing around us or feeling 00:11:28.899 --> 00:11:32.500 inside of us, whatever is happening can be seen 00:11:32.500 --> 00:11:36.120 and treated as sacred. And all the parts of our 00:11:36.120 --> 00:11:41.000 body can be treated as sacred. When we live our 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:44.460 lives with this principle, that means that instead 00:11:44.460 --> 00:11:47.820 of thinking about ourselves, just for example, 00:11:48.700 --> 00:11:53.200 right? Oof, I feel so lazy about doing this course 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.919 now. Shit, I paid all this money and now I'm 00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:57.779 like, I don't have time and it's nice weather 00:11:57.779 --> 00:12:00.100 and I want to hang out with my friends and I 00:12:00.100 --> 00:12:03.840 don't have time. Instead of being like, oof, 00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.299 this is a bad feeling, now I'm irresponsible, 00:12:06.919 --> 00:12:11.000 you could be like, oh, okay, so what's really 00:12:11.000 --> 00:12:14.919 happening here? Let me feel into this laziness. 00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:19.379 Let me breathe with it and acknowledge that my 00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:22.200 experience is valid. I'm not going to run away 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.539 from the laziness and pretend that it's not there. 00:12:25.120 --> 00:12:29.080 I'm just going to see what's truly underneath 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:34.039 and I can reflect on it and decide what to do 00:12:34.039 --> 00:12:37.840 next. And even if my decision is to skip a month 00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:41.159 of content and come back to it later, this is 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.210 my experience. It means that this is what I'm 00:12:44.210 --> 00:12:47.309 currently doing, it's all valid and it's my life. 00:12:47.870 --> 00:12:50.929 Radical acceptance starts happening. It's not 00:12:50.929 --> 00:12:54.750 bad or good that you have this kind of decision, 00:12:54.750 --> 00:12:57.990 it's just a part of life. So in Tantra we are 00:12:57.990 --> 00:13:01.350 able to practice a radical acceptance of everything 00:13:01.350 --> 00:13:04.610 that's happening and there is therefore no shame, 00:13:04.750 --> 00:13:08.990 no judgment, no disconnection. We honor connection 00:13:08.990 --> 00:13:11.529 in everything. whatever is happening we want 00:13:11.529 --> 00:13:14.570 to be connected to it even if it's painful uncomfortable 00:13:14.570 --> 00:13:19.409 messy we want to connect to it and by magic what 00:13:19.409 --> 00:13:22.309 happens actually when we connect to all these 00:13:22.309 --> 00:13:25.669 aspects we start growing things start becoming 00:13:25.669 --> 00:13:29.610 better easier we get more motivated because we 00:13:29.610 --> 00:13:31.490 are not disconnected from everything anything 00:13:31.490 --> 00:13:35.259 we're becoming whole Life is becoming more interesting 00:13:35.259 --> 00:13:38.820 and better. So very often that is what we just 00:13:38.820 --> 00:13:41.279 what we need to do is just to accept our laziness 00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:44.039 or pain and then it's going to transform. In 00:13:44.039 --> 00:13:46.019 every slide here you'll see that I always added 00:13:46.019 --> 00:13:48.740 something really practical to really kind of 00:13:48.740 --> 00:13:51.360 if you're struggling to understand the concept 00:13:51.360 --> 00:13:53.259 and say like you're reviewing it in a couple 00:13:53.259 --> 00:13:56.620 of months you can always just have a little practical 00:13:56.620 --> 00:14:01.200 example. So here again just another moment of 00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.809 reflection. Right now in your life, everywhere 00:14:05.809 --> 00:14:07.929 in your life, is there something you are not 00:14:07.929 --> 00:14:12.750 accepting or not seeing or suppressing? What 00:14:12.750 --> 00:14:15.429 part of you can you actually start meeting with 00:14:15.429 --> 00:14:18.590 more acceptance and presence? Is there a part 00:14:18.590 --> 00:14:23.210 of you that really needs that? And this is going 00:14:23.210 --> 00:14:25.549 to be a question that you can again journal on 00:14:25.549 --> 00:14:29.120 if you want to use this presentation. But yeah, 00:14:29.220 --> 00:14:31.539 all of us at any time, even if we have a spiritual 00:14:31.539 --> 00:14:34.299 practice, even if we have daily practice, even 00:14:34.299 --> 00:14:36.799 if we are already connected and aware of everything 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:40.220 in our lives and emotions and bodies, still there 00:14:40.220 --> 00:14:42.559 always can be something we are actually suppressing 00:14:42.559 --> 00:14:45.879 or running away from all the time. There is always 00:14:45.879 --> 00:14:48.919 an opportunity to look inside and find pieces 00:14:48.919 --> 00:14:52.399 that actually need a little bit more love. And 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:55.000 it's a wonderful exercise to do, especially when 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:57.159 you're going through something difficult. So 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:00.399 that's that into the next principle. This one 00:15:00.399 --> 00:15:02.879 is very interesting. Everything has consciousness 00:15:02.879 --> 00:15:06.019 and I'll tell you how I use it. In Tantra nothing 00:15:06.019 --> 00:15:10.440 is random. Nothing in this world, in your life, 00:15:10.960 --> 00:15:14.000 in your body, in your relationship is just a 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.559 random thing. Everything has consciousness including 00:15:17.559 --> 00:15:21.139 your breasts, your yoni, your womb, your fear, 00:15:21.779 --> 00:15:24.679 your frustration, your experiences you're having 00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:27.820 in life. And you can, with your curiosity and 00:15:27.820 --> 00:15:31.500 playfulness, find what are all these pieces wanting 00:15:31.500 --> 00:15:34.220 to tell you, where they want more acceptance. 00:15:35.419 --> 00:15:39.320 And once you realize that, every sensation, every 00:15:39.320 --> 00:15:42.659 thought, every emotion, you can start working 00:15:42.659 --> 00:15:45.440 with it. You can start slowing down, closing 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:48.820 your eyes and seeing if there are parts of you 00:15:48.820 --> 00:15:51.139 that want to tell you something. This is just 00:15:51.139 --> 00:15:53.580 a funny example because it's so alive for me. 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:56.600 Yesterday I had a tiny bit of a microdose. It 00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:58.799 was a beautiful experience because I'm in nature 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:01.240 and I'm just basically softening, connecting 00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:03.500 to myself ahead of all these beautiful classes 00:16:03.500 --> 00:16:08.419 I want to share. This helped me to drop in a 00:16:08.419 --> 00:16:11.240 little bit from my fight or flight. I used this 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:15.980 kind of medicine once in three to six months. 00:16:16.680 --> 00:16:20.700 And I felt how my womb was really, really speaking 00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:23.519 very loudly, like really loudly. And at this 00:16:23.519 --> 00:16:26.240 time, because I've been practicing speaking to 00:16:26.240 --> 00:16:28.500 different parts of myself for quite a few years, 00:16:28.860 --> 00:16:31.120 for me, this experience has become really alive. 00:16:31.679 --> 00:16:33.820 No longer I have to like just close my eyes and 00:16:33.820 --> 00:16:35.779 really, really try to listen and reflect and 00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:39.700 journal. Sometimes I can close my eyes and I 00:16:39.700 --> 00:16:44.419 actually hear quite loud messages. And my womb 00:16:44.419 --> 00:16:49.240 started saying like, look, I'm tired of being 00:16:49.240 --> 00:16:53.259 here for so long, working on every cycle, trying 00:16:53.259 --> 00:16:57.000 to create space for a baby and you're like not 00:16:57.000 --> 00:16:59.980 doing it ever and how long am I supposed to do 00:16:59.980 --> 00:17:03.399 this for you? And I had to speak to her back. 00:17:03.559 --> 00:17:06.940 You are here as a part of me, of my life and 00:17:06.940 --> 00:17:09.940 we're living this life together and we can make 00:17:09.940 --> 00:17:13.319 these decisions together and I hear you and I'm 00:17:13.319 --> 00:17:16.789 here for you. but that's not the time right now 00:17:16.789 --> 00:17:19.789 so let me love you as you are please love me 00:17:19.789 --> 00:17:23.210 back like these things they look quite crazy 00:17:23.210 --> 00:17:27.650 but in reality they help us to get his insights 00:17:27.650 --> 00:17:31.730 and also love ourselves a little bit more yeah 00:17:31.730 --> 00:17:33.710 instead of just feeling frustrating thoughts 00:17:33.710 --> 00:17:35.730 sometimes trying to disconnect from them I could 00:17:35.730 --> 00:17:37.549 be having these thoughts oh should I should be 00:17:37.549 --> 00:17:39.650 having a baby now or no I actually have a lot 00:17:39.650 --> 00:17:42.730 of work to do and oh my period is painful and 00:17:42.730 --> 00:17:45.470 like all these things if I don't bring them together 00:17:45.470 --> 00:17:47.789 and understand them holistically and understand 00:17:47.789 --> 00:17:49.730 that all these parts are just saying me something 00:17:49.730 --> 00:17:52.990 I can feel quite frustrated but instead I'm connecting 00:17:52.990 --> 00:17:55.950 to these pieces and speaking to them and feeling 00:17:55.950 --> 00:17:59.069 through them and making aware decisions in my 00:17:59.069 --> 00:18:01.980 life So this way you could be speaking to any 00:18:01.980 --> 00:18:04.660 part of your body. And the conversation can be 00:18:04.660 --> 00:18:07.519 happening as long as you slow down and practice 00:18:07.519 --> 00:18:11.720 it. But even pain, pain can really tell a lot. 00:18:12.460 --> 00:18:15.859 For example, menstrual pain or any kind of hormonal 00:18:15.859 --> 00:18:19.339 pain can tell a lot because very often it's what 00:18:19.339 --> 00:18:22.299 our bodies say when we don't really honor our 00:18:22.299 --> 00:18:25.440 hormonal cycles. And that's something we'll learn. 00:18:25.690 --> 00:18:28.230 more about we'll learn about more more about 00:18:28.230 --> 00:18:30.970 the hormonal cycles and perimenopause and menopause 00:18:30.970 --> 00:18:34.269 and demonstration on tuesday these things they 00:18:34.269 --> 00:18:36.569 we tend to look at them when we are just living 00:18:36.569 --> 00:18:39.349 in our heads and in this modern world is a problem 00:18:39.349 --> 00:18:43.730 to fix rather than a signal that's something 00:18:43.730 --> 00:18:46.049 your body is trying to tell you something so 00:18:46.049 --> 00:18:48.529 in the very practical sense it's always about 00:18:48.529 --> 00:18:51.950 just trying to ask a question what is this part 00:18:51.950 --> 00:18:55.529 of me trying to say or what this experience in 00:18:55.529 --> 00:18:58.430 my life is trying to say what this relationship 00:18:58.430 --> 00:19:01.309 in my life is trying to say becoming more aware 00:19:01.309 --> 00:19:03.910 of that and starting to have this relationship 00:19:03.910 --> 00:19:06.990 with whatever is happening as something is there 00:19:06.990 --> 00:19:09.589 having a consciousness and you're engaging with 00:19:09.589 --> 00:19:12.849 it so another moment of reflection so how could 00:19:12.849 --> 00:19:15.789 you practice more connection and awareness of 00:19:15.789 --> 00:19:19.819 your body And this is just to reflect on for 00:19:19.819 --> 00:19:22.380 a moment here. Is there something you can do 00:19:22.380 --> 00:19:24.980 to start practicing more connection and awareness? 00:19:29.779 --> 00:19:32.980 And here I'm going to speak lastly to just this 00:19:32.980 --> 00:19:38.880 principle again. Daily practice is what truly 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:43.559 transforms inspiration into embodiment. It is 00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:47.269 how this path moves from something you know to 00:19:47.269 --> 00:19:50.549 something you truly live. This is why we created 00:19:50.549 --> 00:19:53.730 Feel, a platform where you can access daily embodiment 00:19:53.730 --> 00:19:57.329 sessions, tantric meditations and feminine energy 00:19:57.329 --> 00:20:00.849 and sexual energy activations to nourish your 00:20:00.849 --> 00:20:03.930 journey day by day.

You'll find all the 00:20:14.450 --> 00:20:18.549 links in the episode description. So this one 00:20:18.549 --> 00:20:21.210 might be a little bit more advanced, but for 00:20:21.210 --> 00:20:23.589 some of you maybe not. But I still want to share 00:20:23.589 --> 00:20:28.650 this. I did mention here in the example, if you 00:20:28.650 --> 00:20:30.910 and when you experience tension or contraction 00:20:30.910 --> 00:20:34.710 in your body, how you can connect to this consciousness, 00:20:35.170 --> 00:20:37.569 to tension, contraction. There is this thing 00:20:37.569 --> 00:20:40.670 we experience with our emotions in a day -to 00:20:40.670 --> 00:20:42.789 -day life. When something happens, for example, 00:20:42.849 --> 00:20:46.029 somebody's shouting at you, like they're angry. 00:20:46.380 --> 00:20:49.039 you might be feeling like contraction and tension 00:20:49.039 --> 00:20:53.160 around your heart or your solar plexus or if 00:20:53.160 --> 00:20:55.359 you got scared for example like I don't know 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:58.039 you're driving a bike and a car passed by fast 00:20:58.039 --> 00:21:00.900 you would feel this kind of contraction in your 00:21:00.900 --> 00:21:04.240 lower belly in your solar plexus there is a lot 00:21:04.240 --> 00:21:07.400 of tension and contraction in our body in response 00:21:07.400 --> 00:21:11.319 to fear to lack of safety, fear of something, 00:21:11.420 --> 00:21:13.539 fear of not belonging, fear of not being safe, 00:21:13.940 --> 00:21:17.279 fear of dying, fear of being rejected. It's like 00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:20.180 a contraction. And if you become a little bit 00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:22.200 more aware of that, whenever you are reacting 00:21:22.200 --> 00:21:24.619 to something difficult, especially in the moment, 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:27.700 something fast happens, you're having an argument. 00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:32.700 In this moment, it is a very powerful time to 00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:35.700 start practicing your awareness, noticing where 00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:38.200 contraction happens in those difficult moments. 00:21:39.029 --> 00:21:42.049 And then seeing what is really happening there. 00:21:42.069 --> 00:21:43.990 So why did I get contracted? For example, you 00:21:43.990 --> 00:21:47.329 have an argument with your lover and you're having 00:21:47.329 --> 00:21:49.730 this contraction in your body and they're telling 00:21:49.730 --> 00:21:52.630 you things and you're like, oh, it's like it 00:21:52.630 --> 00:21:54.650 can be this pain that feels like you're going 00:21:54.650 --> 00:21:57.470 to throw up or like something is really tensing. 00:21:57.930 --> 00:22:00.950 In those moments, a powerful thing to do would 00:22:00.950 --> 00:22:04.690 be to notice a contraction, try to breathe into 00:22:04.690 --> 00:22:06.890 it. Of course, if you are having an argument 00:22:06.890 --> 00:22:08.769 right now, it might be difficult to really step 00:22:08.769 --> 00:22:11.369 back, but if you can, to really step back and 00:22:11.369 --> 00:22:14.509 see what is the actual voice underneath the contraction. 00:22:15.009 --> 00:22:16.890 What is it that you're actually afraid of in 00:22:16.890 --> 00:22:19.990 this moment? Why are you reacting? And there 00:22:19.990 --> 00:22:22.170 can be really, really strong answers in those 00:22:22.170 --> 00:22:24.250 moments to you if you close your eyes and really 00:22:24.250 --> 00:22:26.730 understand what's happening because of this reaction 00:22:26.730 --> 00:22:30.000 in the body. and it can have answers for you 00:22:30.000 --> 00:22:32.559 and even how to resolve the conflict, where you 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:34.420 can do the work on yourself to resolve these 00:22:34.420 --> 00:22:38.039 conflicts long term, etc. Very often underneath 00:22:38.039 --> 00:22:40.519 that is I'm afraid they're going to leave me 00:22:40.519 --> 00:22:43.480 or it triggers something from my past, from my 00:22:43.480 --> 00:22:45.940 childhood, from my past relationships that are 00:22:45.940 --> 00:22:48.339 there to be healed. That's just a comment here 00:22:48.339 --> 00:22:50.240 in terms of how consciousness can be treated 00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:52.400 and how it appears in the body and what can happen 00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:55.680 and what you could do. This one is not very necessary 00:22:55.680 --> 00:22:58.750 to practice. right now, if this is a very much 00:22:58.750 --> 00:23:00.369 of a beginning of your journey, but it's good 00:23:00.369 --> 00:23:03.529 to be aware of such a practice that can be possible. 00:23:03.849 --> 00:23:07.829 Next one, the juicy one. I love Tantra for this 00:23:07.829 --> 00:23:10.529 and for another reason, this whole framework 00:23:10.529 --> 00:23:13.190 that people can embrace. It's just one of the 00:23:13.190 --> 00:23:15.849 few frameworks out there that really honor the 00:23:15.849 --> 00:23:20.970 body. So in a lot of religions, cultures, even 00:23:20.970 --> 00:23:24.410 yogic paths, We are trying to discipline our 00:23:24.410 --> 00:23:27.410 body all the time. It's about we sit straight 00:23:27.410 --> 00:23:30.230 and don't move and this is how we meditate. Now 00:23:30.230 --> 00:23:33.049 we're like completely controlling our body, not 00:23:33.049 --> 00:23:37.009 moving at all and then trying to run away, fly 00:23:37.009 --> 00:23:40.519 away from the body somewhere else. or our body 00:23:40.519 --> 00:23:44.059 is sinful, sex is bad, our body is dirty, we 00:23:44.059 --> 00:23:46.440 have to control, have to be virgin. A lot of 00:23:46.440 --> 00:23:48.400 things that have a lot of control culturally, 00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:50.960 generationally, over time. So we can have a lot 00:23:50.960 --> 00:23:54.000 of conditioning around our bodies because of 00:23:54.000 --> 00:23:57.740 hundreds and hundreds of years of being told 00:23:57.740 --> 00:24:01.059 depends on where we're coming from. of being 00:24:01.059 --> 00:24:03.500 told that our bodies are sinful and there are 00:24:03.500 --> 00:24:06.200 a lot of things in the body that has to be controlled, 00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:11.740 changed, released, cut off, etc. And in this 00:24:11.740 --> 00:24:14.480 path it's not like that at all. It's more like 00:24:14.480 --> 00:24:18.420 you've been born in your body and therefore your 00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:22.299 body is a vessel for life and you can find answers 00:24:22.299 --> 00:24:25.180 in your body and you can use your body and your 00:24:25.180 --> 00:24:29.609 movement and breath and pleasure to Connect deeper 00:24:29.609 --> 00:24:33.089 into your power into your truth and to liberate 00:24:33.089 --> 00:24:36.029 yourself and it's not separate from your spirit 00:24:36.029 --> 00:24:39.130 or energy we often say body mind because it's 00:24:39.130 --> 00:24:44.309 a one thing and by using the body you connect 00:24:44.309 --> 00:24:48.150 to your mind you connect to your energy and a 00:24:48.150 --> 00:24:51.150 lot can be done in your growth through your body 00:24:51.150 --> 00:24:55.619 and through your pleasure So it's not all about 00:24:55.619 --> 00:24:58.480 punishing ourselves, like in many other cultures, 00:24:58.539 --> 00:25:01.940 having super strict diets, being celibate, not 00:25:01.940 --> 00:25:04.720 touching yourself at all ever. It's more about 00:25:04.720 --> 00:25:08.619 how can I use my body to actually become more 00:25:08.619 --> 00:25:11.039 free, to actually connect more into my truth. 00:25:11.980 --> 00:25:16.559 So a lot of tantric practice would involve breath, 00:25:16.900 --> 00:25:20.180 movement, pleasure, connection, dance, shaking, 00:25:20.700 --> 00:25:24.009 whatever your body can do. It all can be a part 00:25:24.009 --> 00:25:26.769 of tantric practice and part of connecting deeper 00:25:26.769 --> 00:25:29.710 into your own divinity and your own truth. In 00:25:29.710 --> 00:25:33.769 practical sense, that means to start really noticing 00:25:33.769 --> 00:25:39.509 your body as this whole world that you can use 00:25:39.509 --> 00:25:44.630 to open up and to live an amazing life as opposed 00:25:44.630 --> 00:25:47.710 to something to control and fix. Everything in 00:25:47.710 --> 00:25:50.210 your life can be a spiritual practice, can be 00:25:50.210 --> 00:25:53.420 a tantric practice. if you bring presence into 00:25:53.420 --> 00:25:59.279 it and intention. So sex definitely can be a 00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:01.779 practice to connect into divinity if you bring 00:26:01.779 --> 00:26:05.960 presence and intention. You can dance with presence 00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:10.440 and intention. You can do self -touch, self -massage. 00:26:10.460 --> 00:26:13.380 You can massage the other person as a tantric 00:26:13.380 --> 00:26:16.119 practice. You can devote yourself to another 00:26:16.119 --> 00:26:19.039 person's energy or you can give a blowjob as 00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:22.240 a tantric practice if you actually bring intention 00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:25.839 and presence into it and full devotion anything 00:26:25.839 --> 00:26:28.940 in the body you can work with it slowing down 00:26:28.940 --> 00:26:31.980 becoming present and really really awakening 00:26:31.980 --> 00:26:35.720 the energy within you and connecting into something 00:26:35.720 --> 00:26:39.480 bigger and this way you can discover then your 00:26:39.480 --> 00:26:41.940 potential for self -healing yeah you can learn 00:26:41.940 --> 00:26:44.339 to connect into your body and breathe through 00:26:44.339 --> 00:26:47.140 your body and touch your body in a way that feels 00:26:47.140 --> 00:26:50.559 healing You can connect to your hormones, to 00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:54.420 cycles of life. You can use practices like sex 00:26:54.420 --> 00:26:57.819 magic to manifest, which is exciting to do in 00:26:57.819 --> 00:27:00.779 this course in a couple of months. But basically 00:27:00.779 --> 00:27:03.099 you learn to access this whole world that is 00:27:03.099 --> 00:27:06.440 your body, that has so much potential and possibility. 00:27:06.900 --> 00:27:10.319 And in my view, that's the reason we've been 00:27:10.319 --> 00:27:13.359 so cut off from it through so many ways, like 00:27:13.359 --> 00:27:17.670 technology, shame, quite often religion. because 00:27:17.670 --> 00:27:20.509 there is so much power in it and once we connect 00:27:20.509 --> 00:27:24.930 to it so deeply we feel sovereign, independent, 00:27:25.430 --> 00:27:27.990 powerful and that's not something that the world 00:27:27.990 --> 00:27:30.849 wanted from us and that's why the body was so 00:27:30.849 --> 00:27:35.150 shamed and so made irrelevant in spirituality 00:27:35.150 --> 00:27:38.109 or personal growth. And what we are doing here 00:27:38.109 --> 00:27:40.549 especially through this course we are really 00:27:40.549 --> 00:27:43.579 reconnecting into the body. We're reconnecting 00:27:43.579 --> 00:27:45.960 with the body. We learn to just do silly things 00:27:45.960 --> 00:27:49.880 like shake and dance and move and breathe pleasure 00:27:49.880 --> 00:27:53.980 and all of these things. Because through this 00:27:53.980 --> 00:27:55.799 practice and through this ritual, through this 00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:57.539 reconnection, you actually, that's where you 00:27:57.539 --> 00:28:01.079 connect to your feminine power. Yeah. Not so 00:28:01.079 --> 00:28:02.799 much through this lectures. These lectures are 00:28:02.799 --> 00:28:05.380 for you to learn the background, get information, 00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.339 to understand why certain things really work 00:28:08.339 --> 00:28:11.019 and where you can place your commitment. But 00:28:11.049 --> 00:28:13.670 the real change happens in the body. So another 00:28:13.670 --> 00:28:17.369 moment of reflection. And this is just really 00:28:17.369 --> 00:28:20.109 to notice what happens when you bring more presence 00:28:20.109 --> 00:28:22.690 to the way you touch, move or nourish your body. 00:28:23.950 --> 00:28:26.970 What is the difference between just having a 00:28:26.970 --> 00:28:30.230 meal or actually sitting down with your meal? 00:28:30.970 --> 00:28:35.970 and really really looking at it, smelling it, 00:28:36.210 --> 00:28:38.970 slowly chewing it, feeling all the taste. Is 00:28:38.970 --> 00:28:41.650 there a certain sense of divinity to it once 00:28:41.650 --> 00:28:46.309 you do that this way? Same as being with your 00:28:46.309 --> 00:28:49.349 partner or your future partner, your past partner. 00:28:49.809 --> 00:28:52.289 What changes if you have sex just kind of the 00:28:52.289 --> 00:28:56.819 usual, born -away? or if you really really look 00:28:56.819 --> 00:28:59.039 at them and feel them and devote your energy 00:28:59.039 --> 00:29:02.339 in this moment and connect in yourself and breathe 00:29:02.339 --> 00:29:05.799 and stay present with every sensation and bring 00:29:05.799 --> 00:29:08.220 in love and open your heart all of that what 00:29:08.220 --> 00:29:11.539 happens and what changes we can make any experience 00:29:11.539 --> 00:29:14.779 much more meaningful once we practice this level 00:29:14.779 --> 00:29:17.880 of presence and awareness same with self -pleasure 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.039 which is very very important to note to note 00:29:20.039 --> 00:29:22.670 and we will be practicing self -pleasure as a 00:29:22.670 --> 00:29:24.789 devotional practice, as a spiritual practice. 00:29:25.250 --> 00:29:27.849 What happens if you touch your body with devotion 00:29:27.849 --> 00:29:30.430 and presence? Even putting a cream on... I love 00:29:30.430 --> 00:29:32.650 to give this to people as a feminine practice. 00:29:33.009 --> 00:29:35.369 We can put a cream on the body, like put it with 00:29:35.369 --> 00:29:37.789 a goal to spread the cream through the whole 00:29:37.789 --> 00:29:40.710 body just so that it gets moisturized. So we 00:29:40.710 --> 00:29:42.769 take it and we just spread it and we're done. 00:29:43.930 --> 00:29:47.029 An alternative to that could be... I'm going 00:29:47.029 --> 00:29:48.849 to allocate like at least five minutes. Maybe 00:29:48.849 --> 00:29:51.309 I put a little music on the background. I'm going 00:29:51.309 --> 00:29:54.970 to take this cream and I'm going to really put 00:29:54.970 --> 00:29:58.769 it through my hands and look at my hands. Notice 00:29:58.769 --> 00:30:03.690 how the cream absorbs into my skin, how it feels. 00:30:03.750 --> 00:30:07.950 Maybe I'll massage my skin and really feel into 00:30:07.950 --> 00:30:12.130 where am I today? What does my body need? It 00:30:12.130 --> 00:30:14.990 could be a whole practice just to put on a cream 00:30:14.990 --> 00:30:17.380 on your body. What choice do you make? Do you 00:30:17.380 --> 00:30:20.700 just want to spread the cream out in 30 seconds 00:30:20.700 --> 00:30:23.660 or do you want that to be your devotional practice 00:30:23.660 --> 00:30:25.920 to yourself and awaken more of your senses and 00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.940 more of your connection? Everything can be like 00:30:28.940 --> 00:30:34.039 that in your life. So what do we have? I think 00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:40.039 this one is the last one. Yeah, pleasure. Pleasure 00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:44.869 again is something that's been looked down at 00:30:44.869 --> 00:30:49.809 as something that is just an indulgence, while 00:30:49.809 --> 00:30:54.529 in reality the healthy pleasure, the real pleasure 00:30:54.529 --> 00:30:58.089 that comes with presence and devotion can be 00:30:58.089 --> 00:31:03.250 a deeply spiritual practice. In pleasure we can 00:31:03.250 --> 00:31:08.089 develop a lot of necessary qualities such as 00:31:08.089 --> 00:31:13.109 deep deep state of presence, of connection. and 00:31:13.109 --> 00:31:16.529 of safety in the body. It's hard to experience 00:31:16.529 --> 00:31:18.970 true pleasure when there is no sense of safety. 00:31:19.289 --> 00:31:21.789 It can be also something that is almost impossible 00:31:21.789 --> 00:31:24.990 for a lot of people. So through pleasure we can 00:31:24.990 --> 00:31:28.390 really open and soften, which is especially important 00:31:28.390 --> 00:31:30.390 when we want to work on our feminine energy. 00:31:31.740 --> 00:31:33.960 A lot of people don't experience pleasure these 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:36.339 days because they're in a constant fight or flight 00:31:36.339 --> 00:31:40.619 mode. It causes stress, push, going after something, 00:31:40.740 --> 00:31:44.099 having the goals, being in their head. Through 00:31:44.099 --> 00:31:46.859 living a lifestyle that is not connected, we 00:31:46.859 --> 00:31:49.940 also disconnect from pleasure. And on the opposite, 00:31:50.619 --> 00:31:53.519 and this is why having pleasure as something 00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:58.019 as a kind of a guide is so important, it's because 00:31:58.019 --> 00:32:01.680 the more we actually slow down. and soften and 00:32:01.680 --> 00:32:05.240 pay attention and look around and spend time 00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:08.140 with ourselves the more we can actually feel 00:32:08.140 --> 00:32:12.759 pleasure and the easier it becomes so glorifying 00:32:12.759 --> 00:32:15.420 pleasure just kind of not allowed in the current 00:32:15.420 --> 00:32:19.140 world can be actually really useful because only 00:32:19.140 --> 00:32:22.079 when we can be really present and connected we 00:32:22.079 --> 00:32:25.250 can truly feel it And it's not the pleasure that 00:32:25.250 --> 00:32:29.650 we feel if we take drugs or if we get drunk or 00:32:29.650 --> 00:32:33.309 if we go to a big party and it's kind of fun. 00:32:33.789 --> 00:32:37.190 It's a pleasure of everyday experience. It's 00:32:37.190 --> 00:32:40.490 a pleasure of touching your skin. Can it be truly 00:32:40.490 --> 00:32:43.710 pleasureful? Can you truly savor it? When you 00:32:43.710 --> 00:32:46.910 can, you can really be truly present. Sexual 00:32:46.910 --> 00:32:50.990 pleasure can also be a really great guide. Because 00:32:50.990 --> 00:32:54.789 in sexuality we can be truly truly vulnerable, 00:32:55.650 --> 00:32:58.190 whether we are alone in our sexual experiences 00:32:58.190 --> 00:33:02.069 or with someone. To truly experience deep pleasure 00:33:02.069 --> 00:33:06.109 and deep orgasms or deep connection, we have 00:33:06.109 --> 00:33:09.809 to become so open and vulnerable to allow something 00:33:09.809 --> 00:33:13.400 to go so deep into us. to allow our bodies to 00:33:13.400 --> 00:33:17.559 feel everything. We have to truly open up. Striving 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:20.180 for depth of orgasm or striving for depth of 00:33:20.180 --> 00:33:22.980 sexual pleasure can be a deeply spiritual practice 00:33:22.980 --> 00:33:25.140 because you will have to work on so many parts 00:33:25.140 --> 00:33:27.880 of yourself that might be resisting or feeling 00:33:27.880 --> 00:33:32.579 disconnected or feeling unsafe, closed up etc. 00:33:34.039 --> 00:33:36.039 So honoring pleasure is something that is really 00:33:36.039 --> 00:33:42.049 good, something to experience. can be a beautiful 00:33:42.049 --> 00:33:44.369 guide in life. In practical sense what I want 00:33:44.369 --> 00:33:46.730 to say here is actually we can be practicing 00:33:46.730 --> 00:33:49.970 pleasure. Pleasure can be a guide, it could be 00:33:49.970 --> 00:33:52.269 something we go towards, but you can also be 00:33:52.269 --> 00:33:55.430 practicing it and introducing the pleasure practice 00:33:55.430 --> 00:34:01.329 in one's life can be super useful and really 00:34:01.329 --> 00:34:04.470 amazing. But what is important to note there 00:34:04.470 --> 00:34:06.930 is that we need to meet ourselves where we are. 00:34:07.289 --> 00:34:11.409 A lot of people have a lot of numbness or disconnection 00:34:11.409 --> 00:34:14.989 and reasons for that are very valid. It is the 00:34:14.989 --> 00:34:17.949 lifestyle we lead, especially the overwhelm of 00:34:17.949 --> 00:34:19.949 technology, especially for those who live in 00:34:19.949 --> 00:34:22.269 big cities. Yeah, like if you spend a lot of 00:34:22.269 --> 00:34:25.070 time in big cities, your senses are constantly 00:34:25.070 --> 00:34:29.070 bombarded, constantly numbed because there is 00:34:29.070 --> 00:34:33.090 so much light, so much noise, so many cars. You 00:34:33.090 --> 00:34:35.949 have to feel less all the time just to cope. 00:34:36.170 --> 00:34:38.670 with everyday life. It's not like you go out 00:34:38.670 --> 00:34:41.289 with birds and the sun. In this environment for 00:34:41.289 --> 00:34:43.050 those who live in nature it's much more easier 00:34:43.050 --> 00:34:45.090 to experience more pleasure because your senses 00:34:45.090 --> 00:34:48.929 are tuned in. If we live in big cities it's just 00:34:48.929 --> 00:34:51.070 harder. We have to do a lot more work to really 00:34:51.070 --> 00:34:56.050 feel because on a daily basis we are as animals 00:34:56.050 --> 00:34:58.530 we're trying to feel safe all the time so we 00:34:58.530 --> 00:35:00.789 take numbing ourselves down so that we can cope 00:35:00.789 --> 00:35:03.789 and this is something to really counteract. If 00:35:03.789 --> 00:35:05.269 we live in big cities we have to do a bit more 00:35:05.269 --> 00:35:08.929 practice. And therefore pleasure practice is 00:35:08.929 --> 00:35:13.110 important. All right, this is the last reflection 00:35:13.110 --> 00:35:15.369 and then we are going to get into practical part. 00:35:17.030 --> 00:35:20.150 So how does, for those who already have it and 00:35:20.150 --> 00:35:22.869 could, for those who are working on it, your 00:35:22.869 --> 00:35:25.190 life feel if you let yourself experience more 00:35:25.190 --> 00:35:28.429 pleasure? How would your life look like if you 00:35:28.429 --> 00:35:32.269 let yourself experience more pleasure? Intentionally. 00:35:32.590 --> 00:35:37.739 Yeah, actually intentionally. I'm going to really 00:35:37.739 --> 00:35:40.679 invite you to reflect on these questions. You 00:35:40.679 --> 00:35:43.440 can journal on them or just think through them 00:35:43.440 --> 00:35:45.739 or actually ask your friend, speak to your friend 00:35:45.739 --> 00:35:47.860 about these questions and reflect together can 00:35:47.860 --> 00:35:51.780 be really useful. My last slides here are more 00:35:51.780 --> 00:35:54.480 just for you to read through. I basically summarized 00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:57.280 what tantric principle for a modern woman could 00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:59.940 look like. We already spoke about all these things. 00:36:00.300 --> 00:36:02.840 It's just maybe... lines that you could write 00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:04.840 down in your journal if you like to remember. 00:36:05.119 --> 00:36:07.599 Nothing needs to be suppressed or hidden. Your 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:10.119 body is not a barrier for your power. It's the 00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:13.300 gateway. Pleasure isn't indulgent. It's a medicine. 00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:16.699 And last one is something I will speak to. So 00:36:16.699 --> 00:36:20.099 you carry both Shiva and Shakti within you. We 00:36:20.099 --> 00:36:22.059 will really deep dive into this masculine and 00:36:22.059 --> 00:36:24.840 feminine energy concept with Maya Magdalena in 00:36:24.840 --> 00:36:27.559 a couple of weeks. So I'm not going to do too 00:36:27.559 --> 00:36:30.739 much here. But it's something just to really 00:36:30.739 --> 00:36:33.170 remember. In this course, we are learning to 00:36:33.170 --> 00:36:36.849 connect to our feminine power. So to our flow, 00:36:37.289 --> 00:36:42.849 magnetism, creation, openness, etc. We shall 00:36:42.849 --> 00:36:45.489 not forget the structure, shall not forget our 00:36:45.489 --> 00:36:48.289 masculine energies as well. It's really important. 00:36:49.030 --> 00:36:51.550 We are working a lot on the feminine because 00:36:51.550 --> 00:36:55.309 our whole world right now is very much in the 00:36:55.309 --> 00:36:57.730 masculine. So there is a lot more work for us 00:36:57.730 --> 00:37:00.909 to do to tap into the feminine. But it is just 00:37:00.909 --> 00:37:03.110 important to remember that it doesn't mean to 00:37:03.110 --> 00:37:05.489 suppress our masculine sides. We're not suppressing 00:37:05.489 --> 00:37:09.670 anything, ever. We want to embrace and create 00:37:09.670 --> 00:37:12.090 balance. Having the support of the masculine 00:37:12.090 --> 00:37:14.590 means to make sure we still have the container 00:37:14.590 --> 00:37:18.050 for ourselves. A lot of feminine work out there 00:37:18.050 --> 00:37:22.710 can kind of forget that part. But without structure 00:37:22.710 --> 00:37:25.809 and discipline and structure out there that we 00:37:25.809 --> 00:37:29.150 can rely on, we can't really thrive in our feminine. 00:37:29.369 --> 00:37:32.769 The family needs a container. So when we do this 00:37:32.769 --> 00:37:35.190 work, we need to remember, okay, what is my structure? 00:37:35.650 --> 00:37:38.130 As I'm connecting to my power, as I'm embracing 00:37:38.130 --> 00:37:40.909 tantric principles, as I'm embracing my openness, 00:37:41.510 --> 00:37:45.250 doesn't mean I'm just flowing in life and just 00:37:45.250 --> 00:37:47.969 relying on... something to come through still. 00:37:48.130 --> 00:37:51.489 I am leaning into some container. I am having 00:37:51.489 --> 00:37:53.889 my daily practice, for example, as a structure. 00:37:54.250 --> 00:37:56.349 I have a commitment. It's not that I just don't 00:37:56.349 --> 00:37:59.269 have any commitments. Or I have a journal where 00:37:59.269 --> 00:38:02.570 I write down things. Or in my life, if I'm, for 00:38:02.570 --> 00:38:05.929 example, if I'm building my business, I am... 00:38:05.789 --> 00:38:09.090 doing so from my feminine flow. I allow things 00:38:09.090 --> 00:38:12.829 to change and shape and come but I have structure 00:38:12.829 --> 00:38:15.949 around it which would be my discipline, commitment 00:38:15.949 --> 00:38:20.789 to timing, certain tools etc. So this concept 00:38:20.789 --> 00:38:23.429 is not to forget around balance of masculine 00:38:23.429 --> 00:38:25.670 and feminine but we will be deep diving into 00:38:25.670 --> 00:38:28.469 it in a couple of weeks. Just as I'm touching 00:38:28.469 --> 00:38:30.989 on tantric principles I could not miss this one. 00:38:31.210 --> 00:38:34.940 All right yeah this is just for you to read I'm 00:38:34.940 --> 00:38:38.679 going to now get straight to the point. So this 00:38:38.679 --> 00:38:40.880 was a little bit of your background and I really 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:43.360 hope this helps understanding a little bit more 00:38:43.360 --> 00:38:45.579 of Tantra and knowing like when people speak 00:38:45.579 --> 00:38:47.880 about it what does that actually mean. I feel 00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:49.940 like all these concepts can be really really 00:38:49.940 --> 00:38:53.239 really helpful and if you relate to them and 00:38:53.239 --> 00:38:55.699 resonate with them coming back to this PDF can 00:38:55.699 --> 00:38:59.000 be really useful and reflecting on the questions 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:02.119 but mostly integrating these principles in your 00:39:02.119 --> 00:39:06.530 life. Just noticing which parts of me can I honor 00:39:06.530 --> 00:39:09.550 more? How can I stop running away from my fears? 00:39:09.690 --> 00:39:11.969 How can I really look at things that I wasn't 00:39:11.969 --> 00:39:16.750 looking at before? etc. Reviewing how all these 00:39:16.750 --> 00:39:19.210 principles can help you in life and where can 00:39:19.210 --> 00:39:27.750 you integrate more of them. So with integrating 00:39:27.750 --> 00:39:32.150 this knowledge It is important to have some sort 00:39:32.150 --> 00:39:35.030 of consistency and some sort of practice in your 00:39:35.030 --> 00:39:38.590 life and in this course we're going to give you 00:39:38.590 --> 00:39:42.530 all the possible support to create one or improve 00:39:42.530 --> 00:39:47.190 one or if you have a solid daily practice that 00:39:47.190 --> 00:39:50.630 you don't want to change it's beautiful absolutely 00:39:50.630 --> 00:39:54.699 please keep it up So we have women here in this 00:39:54.699 --> 00:39:57.119 course from quite different backgrounds and some 00:39:57.119 --> 00:39:59.039 people have a daily practice, some know, some 00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:02.659 don't know what it is. So I'm just going to share 00:40:02.659 --> 00:40:05.659 with you how we can support and what is a daily 00:40:05.659 --> 00:40:08.940 practice first. So with everything in life, literally 00:40:08.940 --> 00:40:12.300 everything, it's not about that, especially true 00:40:12.300 --> 00:40:16.340 transformation. It's not about one of experience 00:40:16.340 --> 00:40:18.960 that changes our entire life. It's actually something 00:40:18.960 --> 00:40:22.679 we do every day. Little things, little habits. 00:40:23.420 --> 00:40:26.159 And in this course you will find a lot of lectures 00:40:26.159 --> 00:40:28.480 like this one which gives you information and 00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:31.179 you'll find rituals, practices like the one we 00:40:31.179 --> 00:40:34.099 did on Thursday which is about releasing stress 00:40:34.099 --> 00:40:38.000 and tension, nonlinear movement method. we will 00:40:38.000 --> 00:40:40.579 have these kind of, you know, bigger experiences, 00:40:41.099 --> 00:40:44.039 one hour, one and a half hour long. And they 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:46.320 give you background and something also to practice 00:40:46.320 --> 00:40:49.260 and repeat when you have time. But realistically, 00:40:49.260 --> 00:40:51.260 it's not something you're going to be doing every 00:40:51.260 --> 00:40:53.500 day, right? If you can, it's amazing. I had this 00:40:53.500 --> 00:40:55.900 period of time when I had one hour practice every 00:40:55.900 --> 00:40:58.460 day, but I know that it's just not something 00:40:58.460 --> 00:41:02.590 most of us will ever do. Yeah. So However, the 00:41:02.590 --> 00:41:07.309 main transformation happens when we do something 00:41:07.309 --> 00:41:10.590 consistently and a daily practice, especially 00:41:10.590 --> 00:41:13.889 if it's a morning practice, that's what is going 00:41:13.889 --> 00:41:17.289 to truly make a difference. Whatever you do in 00:41:17.289 --> 00:41:19.769 life, if you have, I don't know, like one massive 00:41:19.769 --> 00:41:22.369 retreat and then you feel like your entire life 00:41:22.369 --> 00:41:24.110 is going to change and then you actually don't 00:41:24.110 --> 00:41:26.570 do anything after two months from then, nothing 00:41:26.570 --> 00:41:29.190 is going to really change. But if you have... 00:41:29.369 --> 00:41:31.590 an experience that makes you like okay now i 00:41:31.590 --> 00:41:33.570 want to commit to myself and then you do five 00:41:33.570 --> 00:41:36.690 minutes a day then everything is going to change 00:41:36.690 --> 00:41:41.210 what is a daily practice daily practice is your 00:41:41.210 --> 00:41:45.210 way of remembering your intention what do you 00:41:45.210 --> 00:41:48.809 want in life is your way to connect to your body 00:41:48.809 --> 00:41:52.449 to feel what's inside what's within what's alive 00:41:52.449 --> 00:41:54.989 to hear basically to have a conversation with 00:41:54.989 --> 00:41:57.590 your own consciousness with your own divinity 00:41:58.110 --> 00:42:01.250 So if you are curious to discover more about 00:42:01.250 --> 00:42:03.550 the kinds of daily practices that are out there 00:42:03.550 --> 00:42:06.369 and how to create your own daily practice that 00:42:06.369 --> 00:42:09.670 truly nourishes your life, you can do so in the 00:42:09.670 --> 00:42:12.829 next episode of this podcast where I'm going 00:42:12.829 --> 00:42:16.510 to share the second part of this class.
