Midwives: The Original Witches - Home Births with Lindsey Meehleis | Awakened Love S2 EP34

In this enlightening 'Deepen + Reflect' Episode of Awakened Love, Angel engages in a deep and transformative conversation with meditation expert and founder of Ziva Meditation, Emily Fletcher. Together, they explore the profound connection between meditation, sacred sexuality, and the pursuit of true bliss.

They deep dive into: 

1. Rediscovering the Joy of Being Human:

   - Emily shares the concept of the Goddess taking human form to rediscover the joy of earthly experiences.

   - We can create a subtle shift in consciousness to remember our true divine nature.

2. Meditation as Deep Rest:

   - Emily emphasizes the power of meditation in providing the body with rest five times deeper than sleep.

   - This deep rest enables the body to heal not only from daily stress but also from accumulated layers of conditioning, allowing us to reconnect with our true selves.

3. The Synergy Between Orgasm and Meditation:

   - Drawing parallels between post-orgasmic states and meditation, highlighting the shared chemistry of bliss.

   - Explore the transcendent moments post-orgasm, where individuals experience a visceral connection to all that is, akin to meditative states.

4. Process-Oriented Lovemaking:

   - Angel and Emily delve into the concept of process-oriented lovemaking, distinguishing between yin (lunar, sustaining energy) and yang (solar, goal-oriented energy) arousal.

   - They discuss the potential for transforming concentrated sexual energy into sustained meditative energy.

5. Changing the Game of Sexuality:

   - Emily draws a parallel between process-oriented lovemaking and changing societal games, suggesting a shift from competition-based dynamics to keeping as many participants in the game for as long as possible.

   - The goal becomes the pleasure itself, fostering a deeper connection and enjoyment.

6. Meditation and the Misconception of Clearing the Mind:

   - Emily addresses the misconception of meditation as clearing the mind and likens it to attempting to command an orgasm, emphasizing the importance of embracing the process over the goal.

7. Societal Pressure on Women:

   - Emily and Angel discuss the societal pressures on women regarding sexuality and the importance of embracing a process-oriented approach, allowing for a more authentic and pleasurable experience.
