On this episode of the Women's Edition, host Stefana Serafina speaks to Shakti Malan, PhD about sexuality as a vital life force and the need to rediscover and embody its fluid, undirected flow in the female body as way of reconnecting to Earth, rebalancing the feminine principle, and liberating consciousness.  Tune in for a rich conversation on the body as a resource and an ally, the female sexual organs and the nature of sexual energy, Lilith and Eve, releasing sexual trauma and trusting the feminine flow again. Although this episode is under the Women's edition, it is a very educational one that you could share with your men partners, friends, and collaborators as well.  THIS EPISODE's WISDOM QUOTES: "The feminine principle is the sexual principle, there is no difference really between the feminine and sexuality... A feminine body is a round, fluid, undulating ocean of sexual energy that wants  to move in an undirected and explorative way....Female sexuality and our sexual organs are a gateway to our inner mysteries. When we return to the innocence of our bodies and our sexuality and stop using our bodies to please or get something from others, and when we return to a connection between our souls, hearts, and sexuality, then when someone enters into us, that entering is going ti be an entering into the inner mysteries of the Divine Feminine. And with conscious and devotional attitude to the act of lovemaking, the one who enters a woman's temple will knowingly be entering the mysteries of Divine Feminine, and will be transformed by her."    "For us women to really discover our sexuality, it's is a looking inwards. It's a closing of our eyes and imagining that we are looking down in the body. We need to feel ourselves from the inside out, which is the opposite of what most women experience because we are so attuned to our partners, children, and communities, and our sexuality can become so externalized... In the act of making love, for women the natural movement is very much like a river, a fluid, spiraling, circular movement,  not at all what we see in the porn movies, which is the back-and-forth, pumping movement, very goal-oriented toward the genital orgasm. In fact, women's bodies want to really deeply relax and go into the soft, fluid unwinding. And that is the gateway."  ABOUT SHAKTI MALAN, PhD Shakti is an internationally recognized expert in embodied sexuality, sexual healing and utilizing our sexual force for personal and collective awakening. For the last decade she has been teaching men and women across the world to awaken consciousness in our sexuality and our bodies and release sexual trauma and body armoring. Her book Sexual Awakening for Women is a popular tantric workbook for women and a comprehensive manual for  healing sexual wounding and restoring the feminine principle in women’s sexuality.

Women's Sexuality as a Gateway to the Great Mystery, with Shakti Malan PhD

Vulnerability has an edge. And I'm committed to blowing right through it. Day after day I'm stretching myself to speak my truth like never before.Here's my edge:I really want to talk about sex. Shame around sexuality. Pleasure in sexuality. My own journey in coming to embrace my sexuality. The connection between sexuality and spirituality.It's scary to talk about this type of intimacy in public.We've been conditioned to keep quiet.And yet I feel that our sexuality is access to our essence, the truth of who we are.Last night I sobbed uncontrollably after a "pleasure session".It came from deep within. No thoughts or images came with it. Just feeling.It ripped through me. I simply let go and rode wave after wave.It felt like the biggest release of my life.Perhaps from years of suppressing myself.Perhaps lifetimes of repression.There is no coincidence this came up and out yesterday. Whatever this is stored deep inside of me is directly connected to what's in my way from fully expressing my truth in the greatest way possible.There is more to share on this subject, which is why I had a conversation with Shakti Malan on the possibilities in sexuality.In this podcast, we talked about:* What is power* How to trust your feeling* Capacity for bliss as a woman* Performance vs. relaxation in sex* The relationship between the bedroom and being on a public platform as a leader* Working through the shadow* How to release sexual trama* Why pain is held in the vagina* And more...We also get to experience a meditation to relax and receive in our feminine essence. It was awesome!About our guest:Shakti Malan – has a profound passion for the feminine, and she believes that the awakening of female sexual energy is a key to the spiritual awakening of the world in our day. She has been facilitating the discovery of female sexual energy to many women across the world over the last decade.Her book Sexual Awakening for Women and the courses she teaches based on the book create a space for women to discover the deep feminine and to open to their true magnificence in deep resonance with the masculine. For more than a decade, Shakti has supported women in many countries to reconnect with their sexual essence, creative freedom and spontaneous wildness, to release sexual trauma, and to transform ancestral patterning.Shakti holds a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology, a discipline that has taught her to work with collective consciousness in groups and in holding a global field of possibility for women around their sexuality.
