The Four Portals Into Shadow Work: Igniting Your Power

Ever wondered how to open a man's heart?  How to feel his unwavering presence and commitment to the relationship? Through allowing the space for a man to cultivate his OWN FEMININE, his heart will open to a new depth of relating with himself and his beloved.  When a beloved can hold presence for her man, it creates the spaciousness for him to relax, receive and feel his own feminine aliveness. He can allow feminine expression to run through his body through breath, touch and sound.  He can just breathe, 'ahhhhh', relax into it, exhale into it, and feel safe to just be.  He can allow his heart to soften, open, receive and expand.Want to know more about us and what we do?

Awakened Relationship Is a Friendship on Fire

Relationships are our biggest teachers, but if we cannot realise that our partners have something to teach us about our own relationship with ourselves, then we tend to fall into an unhealthy pattern of co-dependency.   As our core wounds get dumped on each other, we experience unnecessary suffering with an endless love/hate cycle and push/pull dynamics.  Such conflict and drama is NOT NECESSARY.  There is another way of relating that comes from secure attachment where healthy communication, self-responsibility and a commitment to love, creates an opportunity for expansion, growth and deepening of intimacy in the relationship.In this episode, discover:—The difference between a love-addict and a love-avoider—How to use communication as a tool to expand in love, rather than to create separation—How to identify where your core wounds are manifesting outer conflict through projection and/or deflection—How to take full responsibility for your experience and ask for what you need int he relationship—How to move from co-dependency to secure attachment Want to know more about us and what we do?

How To Move Beyond Self-Sabotage

When men ask us how to turn a woman on, keep her happy, open her sexually, help her to surrender, I always suggest the same thing - hold her.How do I do that? He asks.First, learn to hold yourself. If you can’t hold yourself, you will not have the energy to hold her. Be conscious of your own emotional body and your own needs.

Love is Telling You THIS

True power is self-awareness—the ability to take responsibility for our lives. As long as we make other people or circumstances around us responsible for how we feel and act, we will give our power away. Own whatever you’re feeling, whether it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Make these energies conscious so that we’re not showing one face and have something else leaking out beneath the surface.This episode explores how to take responsibility, claim back power, and own all aspects of yourself. You’ll discover how to allow feelings to ripple through you, drop judgment and stories, and step into true power: consciousness and love.Want to know more about us and what we do?

Own Your Shadow: Better the Devil You Know

In Tantra, finding your purpose in the world is about finding what turns you on. What’s your passion? Live your truth so there’s no separation between who you are and how you work. We’re told that to feel safe, we need the usual things like a 9-5 job. What would it be like to have so much faith in Spirit and our Human Spirit so that you can do what you love and earn money doing it? In this episode, find what is your authentic expression in the world when you empty out and allow Love to flow through you. Learn about the balance between masculine (focus and action) and feminine (sensuality and flow) in the work you do. Gather courage to take the jump and live—and work!—as who you really are in this world. It’s time.Want to know more about us and what we do?

How to Follow Your Heart and Do What You Love

We can’t have power without a foundation.  It’s like having a tree without roots.  What would happen if a thunderstorm hit a tree with no roots?  It would topple over.  We need the stillness and strength of roots (inner masculine) to support the blossoming and fruiting of our gifts (inner feminine), which is our true power.  To strengthen our roots and obtain our gifts of power, we need to develop our own inner union, rather than depending on our outer union or circumstances to complete us.  In this episode, discover:—Letting go who you think you ‘should’ be and discovering your Self—Elements for deepening your roots to hold more power —How to claim back power in relationships by returning missing pieces of yourself—The difference between ‘falling in love’ and ‘rising in love’—How relationships are a mirror to see ourselves—How to avoid unconscious wounds playing out your relationshipsWant to know more about us and what we do?

Beyond Burnout: Joyfully Manifest Your Soul Purpose

How do we live and love life to the fullest?  And how do we do it NOW?  It involves getting out of your own way, to stop listening to the self-limiting beliefs, the constant mind-chatter and get out of your own way! It involves emptying out and getting in touch with the deeper parts of ourselves that are beneath the mind's constant opinions.  What does our heart say? What does our body say?  What is the universe showing me through signs and where is my life wanting to flow?The mind is a powerful tool that we can utilise to analyse situations and actualise what we desire in this life, however, when we listen ONLY to the mind, we can be paralysed by the chatter of 'what if...?', 'should I...?' or 'what about...?'  which, ultimately is anchored in the past or the future.  When we can PAUSE and drop out of our mind and into the body, we can become aware to the love and the flow of life available to us RIGHT NOW!Want to know more about us and what we do?

Stop Waiting: Live and Love Life Now!

Pain and pleasure are in the flow of life. Pain doesn’t equal suffering nor does pleasure equal suffering; it’s the avoidance of pain or the attachment to pleasure that ultimately causes suffering... So what if we could learn to be in flow with our pain and pleasure, where, rather than grasping for pleasure or pushing pain away, we can embrace it fully, and learn what it has to teach us? In this episode, discover:—The unconscious habit of resistance and attachment and how to spot it in your life—How pain is useful information; what is it telling you?—How to stop struggling by unblocking the emotional body —The power and importance of just letting yourself FEEL (like you did as a child)—How to find power, passion, compassion, unity, LIFE through neither resisting nor attaching—Meditation as an embodied practice, not just a mental exercise—How to allow the nervous system to relax in pleasure and pain (find joy in the body is possible, no matter what’s happening!)Want to know more about us and what we do?
