Mat Wakeham: Reconnecting Your Cock to Your Heart #60 The Urban Yogi Podcast

instagram.com/matwakeham Mat shares from a lifetime of spiritual study, personal experience, formal practice and training and most directly from the insights he has learned through healing the layers of shame and trauma that we all share as men, both collectively and as individuals. These wounds have ended up being his greatest teachers, and surrendering to their lessons has released their potential to ultimately transform him.Within his own practice there’s a consistent thread of mindfulness based meditation, supported by loving awareness, concentration and compassion, first learnt on retreat in the forests of Thailand and then continued over decades on silent retreat in the UK and in diligent self-practice. His healing journey over the last 20 years has taken in analysis, hypnotherapy, acupuncture, psychedelic plant medicine, and tantra as well as him engaging in martial arts, strength and fitness training, tai-chi, chi-gung and yoga, and most recently somatic sexual healing, breathwork and cold exposure.His synthesis of these forms and therapies has led him to discover a natural, embodied simplicity to his understanding of wellbeing and spirit. His journey speaks to the truth that if we want to, and if we’re willing to put in the work to address the habitual patterns stored in our bodies, we can open to pleasure, conscious connection, and self-love and live guided by the body’s own innate wisdomMat is currently training as a breathwork and meditation facilitator and somatic sex therapist under The Association of Somatic & Integrative Sexologists. He lives in the United Kingdom, in West Sussex with his wife Marcela and their son Dion.___“We have all been subjugated by the systemic shame and disempowerment of the old, prevailing, dominant systems of power for too long. As men we need to love ourselves in order to reconnect with our deeper truth and regain sovereignty over our bodies, our self-worth, self-expression, our pleasure, our cocks and our connection to our true divine nature.”- Mat Wakeham
