Show Notes:
“To thrive inside of intimacy”
“Listening to our bodies… learn how to communicate that to others”
“Informed consent is not what it needs to be”
“The wisdom of the body”
“Again, I’m a beginner here”
“Energetic spiritual opening”
“The body is able to let go and emotional release can happen”
“I don’t want you to say anything or do anything; I just want you to sit and witness me”
“Idea of how I think I need to be in order to go into an intimate experience”
“Have sex in order to turn on”
“Years and years of intentional practice”
“Oftentimes in committed partnership when we’re not feeling attracted there’s withheld communication…”
Wanting what was
Shutting down
“Allow space when the body says no… give ourselves full permission to close”
Honored the shut down… didn’t attach meaning
“Space for the relationship to have an evolution and you won’t know what it looks like on the other side”
“Keep coming back to the mat, even when the experience is uncomfortable”
“What wants to happen today”
“The body is changing constantly… desire changes”
“We are shifting constantly”
“Moving something that you couldn’t have moved with your cortex”
“Keep coming back to the mat”
Showing up without much expectation
“When we’re in flow with each other things are thriving”
“Keep coming back even when it doesn’t go the way you wanted”
It doesn’t have to be perfect to be valuable
“How can I feel connected to my body”
Take the goal off the table
“Removing as many goals as you need to to be able to go slow”
There is no normal- there is no back
“Tendency to want to rescue the other partner”
Belief that I would be led to the next right thing
“If we’re not being linear about it, there’s so much more to experience”
Self-trust sounds like “I will be okay; whatever happens- I will be okay”
