Episode 3: Discovering Your True Feminine Essence with Shakti Malan

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!
