Learning The Eight Stages Is Learning To Follow The Body

Hello and welcome to the Eros Sutras podcast. I’m Anjuli Ayer, and in this series of the Eros Sutras, Volume 3, Orgasmic Meditation, we explore the writings of Nicole Daedone. Rooted in the practice of orgasmic meditation, the Eros Sutras delineate a journey of understanding the erotic impulse. Nicole invites us to harness this impulse, channeling it toward peak states of consciousness, known as the erotic state. More than just a guide to OM, the Eros Sutras serve as a lens through which we can deepen our connections both with ourselves and the world around us. So whether you’re familiar with Orgasmic Meditation or just getting started, I want to invite you to settle in and enjoy the Eros Sutras

In this episode, we explore the intriguing intersection of mind, body, and the erotic senses and how they collectively open the dimension of stillness. We discuss how the mind, once subsumed by the body, gains the power to isolate itself from the stream of thought, focusing solely on the point of connection. We also touch on the intriguing sensations that arise from this simple placement of attention. From the subtlest goosebumps to waves of electricity, we explore how these sensations can lead to a massive response from seeming inactivity. Join us as we journey through this unique exploration of stillness, erotic vision, and the transcendent power of the mind-body connection. This episode promises to be a deep dive into the unchanging reality of our existence and the hidden truths it reveals.

In this episode, we delve into the Eight Stages of Eros, exploring how they serve as doorways to various manifestations of consciousness. We discuss the concept of erotic truth, where high-level abstractions can be traced back to physical realities and vice versa. We explore how we, as erotic beings, navigate through these stages, not linearly but dynamically, moving back and forth, seeking congruency across levels of abstraction.
