E46- Redefining Marriage and Sacred Union with Ariane Blixx

This was an interview from the 'Better Relations Summit' earlier this year with Ariane from Blixx. We discuss the balance of freedom and safety in relationships, how the perception of marriage can shift and how we can redefine it to not be about becoming caged but finding freedom in commitment.

Mathilde and I were inspired to jump on a call and chat about Sensuality, group exploration and creativity as we get warmed up and excited for our next Sensual Arts Retreat! Join us in Thailand for this epic journey of Love and Liberation! www.sensualartistry.com/the-sensual-arts-retreat

Have you ever paused to consider the power your personal narratives carry in your everyday life? In this episode, I take you on an exploration of how our beliefs and stories mould our relationships, sexuality, and identity. We will explore how to break free of these stories and step into a life that rings true to our authentic selves. We'll question and challenge the stories we hold about ourselves and others, especially in the context of dating and long-term relationships, to pave the way for healthier communication and more fulfilling connections. I'll be introducing the work of Byron Katie and my unique method of embodied inquiry, where we explore the physical sensations associated with different thoughts and beliefs. Through real-life examples, you'll see how shifting your perspective could lead to a more positive and empowering outlook. So, come along on this journey of self-discovery and transformation as we navigate our personal narratives and identities towards a more liberated life!

In this episode, Luna dicusses erotic energy and making love beyond the physical body. There's magic in our energy bodies, a potent force that can transform our experiences of love and sex. In this episode, Luna is bridging the gap between our energy body and the nervous system. Drawing from the ancient wisdom of Tantra and the practicality of somatics, we explore how our bodies are wired to sync with others in an intricate dance of co-regulation and attunement. Uncover what it means to experience energy orgasms and transcendental sex - all by tuning into the vibration of your energy body. Have you ever considered the profound power of sexual energy and how it could be harnessed? We venture into the mystique of the orgasmic void, shining a light on how we can transcend our limited selves through sex. Engage with the subtle energy present during erotic encounters, liberating it through practices like yoga, dance, and massage. We'll also journey into the realm of energy sex - a tantalizing exploration of deep intimacy, beyond physical touch or climax. Drawing from personal experiences, I'll reveal how you can intuitively navigate this space, transmitting and receiving unique experiences with your partner.

This week we unpack the complexities and beauties of Desire, a force often misunderstood in spiritual practices. We'll explore the Tantric tradition's view on desire as a powerful energy that, when channeled positively, can result in beautiful experiences, connection, and personal growth. We also touch on the natural ebb and flow of desire in relationships and how its fading can either signal an ending or prompt a deep, introspective shift. In the second part of the conversation, we link desire to deep intuition, exploring its expression through sex, intimacy, and connection. We address the fear of expressing our desires, our conditioned narratives around sexuality, and the importance of surrendering in the co-creation of our desires. This episode encourages you to explore the idea of 'taking and allowing' and provides guidance on maintaining boundaries while in a submissive state. Whether you're curious about how desire impacts your relationships or seeking ways to channel it positively, this conversation provides rich insights and practices to guide you.   Join the free community to be part of future Sex and Love Satsangs here- https://www.sensualarts.school/offers/9uv4duKF/checkout

When lovers become caretakers- Over the years, my guest Luci Lampe and I have both experienced firsthand how chronic illness and caretaker dynamics can amplify unhealthy patterns within relationships. We've both come face to face with the emotional and physical challenges it brings, but through it all, we've found ways to unravel the trauma and pain and navigate a path forward. Luci and her partner Ryan's remarkable journey taught us how inner work, community support, and immersive environments can be transformative. By finding balance between offering and receiving care, they were able to facilitate their own healing and stay deeply connected in love through it all. They show us how trust and open communication can help relationships evolve, overcoming primal fears and embracing the transformative power of surrender. Luci and Ryan's story is a testament to the power of unconditional love, setting healthy boundaries, and the importance of gratitude during adversity. They've shown us how to find solace and harmony through struggles, and how to trust in divine timing.

In this episode, I brought back my colleague and friend Sanya Alaya to discuss massage and bodywork for healing and awakening. When many people worldwide hear the word 'Tantra', they often think of a sensual massage practice. Where did this come from? Is it an authentic practice or a modern one?  Sanya shares her exploration through various bodywork styles to help people heal and awaken the pleasure potential of their bodies. She discusses Tantra Massage, sexological bodywork and de-armouring, 3 key styles of bodywork she trained in, and lets us know why they're helpful and the benefits and pitfalls of each. We then also discuss some red flags and what to look out for if you're interested in exploring this kind of work. We hope this episode is supportive for those who are curious to explore this either personally or professionally.  Check our Sanya's website for more on her work- https://www.sanyaalaya.com/ Her bodywork training- https://www.sanyaalaya.com/bodywork-level-1 And Deep Self Worship has solo de-armouring practices- www.sensualarts.school/deep-self-worship
