Yoni Dearmouring and Cultivating Emotional Safety

Does your yoni tense up prior to or during penetration?  This episode delves into the process of yoni darmouring as a means of cultivating inner-safety and unlocking receptivity on all levels of mind-body-soul.  Join me as I share a bit of my own journey through dearmouring practices.  Yoni Dearmouring is the practice of dissolving barriers to intimacy on all levels: energetic, psycho-emotional, and the physical.  The physical practices such as massage are most accessible; however, the deeper work transcends the physical alone and includes the cultivation of self-awareness as well as experiences of deep emotional release and catharsis.  

Transcendental and Cervical Orgasms

I just had my first cervical orgasm since completing my four-year celibacy last year.  In this episode, I share the beauty that it was, it's healing and purifying qualities, as well as cross-overs with the HOURS-LONG energetic and transcendental orgasms I experienced in Tantric practices in India.  References: Kundalini Yoga, the Microcosmic Orbit and ancient Taoist Sexual Reflexology, Tao Tantra.
