    100 In Gratitude

    100 In Gratitude

    Today, after 100 consecutive weeks together, I want to thank you for your unconditional love and support. 

    Also, I want to share some important news. 

    I decided to do some deep reflecting on who I am, what I bring, and who I serve, and to do that, I need to remove the pressure of producing a weekly output, at least for some time.So  I'll put the podcast on a halt for a while, and I'll be showing up less often on social media. 

    I'll be back fully energised to serve you powerfully and profoundly when the time is right. 

    Thank you from the bottom of my heart for joining me.

    099 Sexual Alchemy Is Not Just For Sexual Issues

    099 Sexual Alchemy Is Not Just For Sexual Issues

    You don't need to have a sexual issue to learn and practice sexual alchemy. In today's episode, I invite you to explore the possibilities that working with a sexual alchemist can provide. 

    I talk about what's beyond my healing work, the deeper connection you can create with your sensual, sexual self, and the multiple benefits of nurturing that bond. You'll learn what it is like to let yourself go into the realm of sexual alchemy, and how it can change your relationship with sex and your sexual life.

    What You Will Learn In This Episode:

    • What sexual alchemy is all about and how it can serve you
    • What changes you can expect from practising sexual alchemy
    • The role of a sexual alchemist, and how they can help you connect with your sexual self
    • What it means to "do the sexual alchemy work"
    • Why sexual alchemy work is considered a partnership

    Sexual alchemy work is not just about sexual healing, nor is it something personal. It is not between a healer and a wounded; it is much bigger than that. It is about evolving consciousness; it is about being at the service of something higher than any individual. It is a sacred collaboration to bring particular energies and frequencies to the present moment and nurture our sexual selves with them.

    097 Cultivating Intimacy During the Holidays

    097 Cultivating Intimacy During the Holidays

    Do you struggle with being intimate and feeling sensual during the holidays? 

    In today's episode, I'm talking about cultivating intimacy during the holidays, a time of the year that can be quite triggering for many people. I'll share practical and easy-to-access options for cultivating intimacy, sensuality, and connection at this particularly triggering time of the year. You'll also learn how to set the foundations for developing intimacy by increasing and improving your self-care routine.  

    What You Will Learn In This Episode:

    - Why holidays are a challenging time to be intimate and sensual

    - The importance of self-care before creating intimacy

    - Why nurturing yourself and your desires is so crucial before being intimate and sensual with others

    - How to cultivate intimacy by enjoying your food

    - How using the sounds around you will help you be more intimate

    Being intimate and sensual with others is impossible unless you take care of yourself first. Practising self-care, having proper rest, exercising regularly, and being mindful of what you eat and drink are some of the most basic yet effective and powerful things you can do for yourself. Remember, you can't pour anything on others if you are dry and depleted.

    096 The Sacred and the Mundane

    096 The Sacred and the Mundane

    Why can't we see the sacredness in the mundane and vice versa?

    This week's episode is about the gap people see between sacred and mundane, erotism and routine, sexy time and daily chores. I invite you to look at everyday things from a different angle and mush them with the sacred to reach a deeper level of connection with yourself and your partner. 

    What You Will Learn In This Episode:

    - The paradox of reconciling the domestic and the erotic

    - Why it’s important to realise that the intimate takes practice

    - How to see the mundane and the sacred as one thing

    - How feeling safe can encourage you to allow your passionate self to blossom

    When you focus on being present with your partner, regardless of whether you've been together for two or thirty years, a domestic chore, a romantic dinner at a restaurant, or the sweetest love-making session can be an exquisite and sacred moment.

    095 You Are One Big Erogenous Zone

    095 You Are One Big Erogenous Zone

    How connected are you with the erogenous zones of your body?

    This week, I'm talking about men's erogenous zones. I share some experiences with clients who connected with their erogenous zones in the least expected situation and circumstance, and what advice I offer my clients when they want to access theirs. 

    What You Will Learn In This Episode:

    - What erogenous zones are and how many of them every man has

    - The difference between the go-to parts of your body for arousal and your erogenous zones

    - A short story about a man and his erogenous zones

    - How to access and awaken your erogenous zones

    - Your body might respond differently to the same stimulus in different situations

    - Why you shouldn't limit yourself to a finite number of erogenous zones in your body

    Exploring your body to get in touch with your erogenous zones requires a deep state of relaxation and an inquisitive, curious and open state of mind. Remember that your whole body can experience erotic pleasure. However, never think of going beyond your boundaries; be mindful of them, and stay within them to protect yourself and keep things light and playful.

    094 Chat with Jason Tantra, Founder of Tantra4GayMen

    094 Chat with Jason Tantra, Founder of Tantra4GayMen

    This week, I'm joined by the magnificent Jason Tantra, Co-founder of Tantra 4 Gay Men, a space where he and his husband Ingo welcome men who love men to experience love in the most profound, ecstatic and orgasmic way. Since 2006, when he created Tantra 4 Gay Men, Jason and his husband have helped and worked with over 12,000 beautiful souls. 

    We had an open and vulnerable conversation about his work, career and Tantra, the only spiritual practice that uses the body and sexual energy as a vehicle for spiritual exploration. We also talk about the ups and downs of having professions that are not mainstream, the evolution of the narrative about what it means to be gay, as well as how to deal with the feeling of "universal tiredness" in our professional lives.

    What You Will Learn In This Episode:

    - Who Jason is and what is Tantra 4 Gay Men

    - What growing up as a gay man and teaching Tantra have in common

    - What it really means to see life through the Tantric lens

    - How to gain awareness of how conditioned we are to operate in certain ways in specific situations

    - The undoing work needed to rediscover who we are as sexual beings

    - What most men that join Jason's programs search for, and what they get from the retreats

    After over 15 years of teaching Tantra and 25 years of background in many spiritual modalities, Jason loves bringing men into a deeper awareness of themselves and helping them enhance their human experiences. Far from teaching what love is or what is truth, he simply creates the space for men to discover that for themselves.

    093 Cultivate Your Intuition for Sizzling Hot Sex - Part 2

    093 Cultivate Your Intuition for Sizzling Hot Sex - Part 2

    This week, I'll take you through a simple yet powerful exercise to help you develop those "sexual spidey senses" we talked about last week. As this practice is not right or wrong, please don't put too much pressure on yourself or expect to master it immediately. Be patient and keep practising it, and you'll get there eventually. 

    What You Will Learn In This Episode:

    - Why this exercise is not about getting it right on the first try

    - How this practice can change the way you perceive and navigate the world

    - Why it’s crucial to let go of what no longer serves you and how to do it

    - How to listen with your whole body

    - How to use this exercise outside of sexual experiences

    Once you learn to be in tune with your "sexual spidey senses," you can use this practice outside the bedroom to connect with your partner in erotic and non-erotic situations. This type of connection will allow you to identify things in yourself that were dormant, hidden for some reason or something you were simply unaware of.

    092 Cultivate Your Intuition for Sizzling Hot Sex - Part 1

    092 Cultivate Your Intuition for Sizzling Hot Sex - Part 1

    In this episode, I'll teach you how to cultivate your sensual intuition for experiencing sizzling hot sex. You'll learn several ways to use your sensual intuition in the bedroom, hear and feel with your body, and experience different kinds of orgasms. You'll also better understand the magic of tuning into someone else's energy, trusting your body's response to your partner's energy, and much more. 

    What You Will Learn:

    - How to get the best out of your sensual intuition or sexual spidey senses

    - Different ways to penetrate and be penetrated

    - Why it is crucial to learn how and what you are feeling

    - How to turn your hands into stethoscopes

    - What is whole-body listening, and how to get better at it

    - How to tune into someone's energy

    The first step to cultivating your intuition for sizzling hot sex is to get crystal clear with yourself, to practice self-awareness, and check in with your feelings and emotions regularly. 

    After some time, the mechanics of sex might become boring. However, the energy movement generated in every erotic encounter constantly renews itself; it's always juicy and can only be reached and appreciated by practising embodied and in full presence sex.

    091 Sex and Intimacy After Loss

    091 Sex and Intimacy After Loss

    From my experience working with widowers, men struggle a lot with reconnecting with their sexuality after their spouse passes. It becomes even more challenging for those who were also caretakers or their spouses lost the battle to a long illness. In this episode, I'll talk about how men can try to reconnect with who they are as sexual beings after going through grief, and how to prepare themselves for meeting new people. 

    What You Will Learn In This Episode:

    - How to deal with the feelings and emotions produced by losing a loved one that affects your sexuality

    - The most common feelings widowers face when thinking of sex after losing their spouses

    - How to realise you are ready to move on with your sexual life

    - The best ways to meet new people and how to navigate dating apps

    - What you must be crystal clear about before going to meet new people

    After perhaps many years of putting your desires and needs in second place, at the moment you feel you came full circle with grieving your loved one, it is time to think of your own desires. It is also an opportunity to try new things, learn something you didn't know about who you are as a sexual being, and decide how you want to move forward.
