    E46 A Light Born in Darkness: The Soul's Awakening at Christmas

    As Christmas approaches, this episode offers a contemplative, mystical reflection on the deeper meaning behind the season. Drawing from Christian mysticism, Tantra, and interfaith spiritual wisdom, I explore Christmas not as a historical event alone, but as a living inner mystery... the awakening of Divine consciousness within each of us. From the symbolism of the winter solstice and the birth of inner light, to reflections on Jesus as a universal archetype of awakened awareness, this episode invites you to move beyond dogma and reconnect with the essence shared by all spiritual paths. I also share the ancient Breastplate Prayer of St. Patrick, with some insights about its early roots as a chant of protection, strength, and divine power. This is an invitation to remember who you truly are... and to listen for the call that awakens your soul in the darkest night.

    E45 Gratitude and Tantra: Awakening Ananda in Everyday Life

    In this episode, I explore gratitude through the lens of Tantra. Inspired by the spirit of Thanksgiving, I reflect on how how genuine thankfulness is equivalent to the ancient Tantric concept of ananda or divine bliss. I share how surrendering to life as an expression of Divine Mother transforms our relationship with reality, allowing peace, reverence, and gratitude to arise even in the midst of uncertainty and challenge. I also guide you through a simple five-senses Tantric gratitude ritual using sight, smell, sound, touch, and taste as doorways into embodied presence and devotion. This gentle daily practice is a way to soften the heart, come out of self-judgment and control, and live in collaboration with the Divine. In this way, gratitude becomes effortless - no longer something we have to generate, but the natural expression of being alive, aware, and connected to the deeper truth of who we are. ***** And if you’re looking to meet like-minded conscious people or make some new Tantric friendships, YuTantra is a Tantra dating and events online community… a private and respectful space where you can find and connect with others who share an interest in Tantra and Sacred Sexuality.

This is an invitation to heal shame, embrace pleasure as sacred, and discover sex as a gateway to spiritual awakening. ***** And if you’re looking to meet like-minded conscious people or make some new Tantric friendships, YuTantra is a Tantra dating and events online community… a private and respectful space where you can find and connect with others who share an interest in Tantra and Sacred Sexuality.

    E42 Kundalini & Sexual Energy - A Path to Awakening

    In this episode, we explore one of the most powerful and mysterious forces in spiritual practice - kundalini. Often described as a coiled serpent at the base of the spine, kundalini represents our deepest potential and is intimately connected to our sexual energy and creative life force. We look at how kundalini is viewed in Tantra, and why it's considered both a path to awakening and an expression of the Divine Feminine within. I also discuss how Tantric practices can help us channel this energy consciously, the role of sacred sexuality in spiritual growth, and the importance of approaching kundalini with both reverence and caution. Whether you're new to the concept or have been exploring energy work for a while, this episode offers insights into how kundalini relates to your spiritual path, your relationship with the Divine, and your everyday life. ***** And if you’re looking to meet like-minded conscious people or make some new Tantric friendships, YuTantra is a Tantra dating and events online community… a private and respectful space where you can find and connect with others who share an interest in Tantra and Sacred Sexuality.

    E41 Tantra Yoga and Embodied Spirituality with Harmony Hannigan

    In this episode, I sit down with Tantra teacher and retreat leader Harmony Hannigan for a deep and honest conversation about what it really means to live Tantra—not just on the mat or in a workshop, but in the middle of everyday life. We explore the Shiva–Shakti dynamic as a powerful framework for working with triggers, emotions, and life’s challenges. Harmony shares two distinct Tantric approaches: one of moving toward sensation with curiosity and embodiment (Shakti), and another of witnessing from a place of detached presence (Shiva). We talk about the importance of knowing when to use each path—and the potential pitfalls of relying too heavily on either. We also dive into the Mahavidyas, the 10 Tantric goddesses, and how these archetypes help us recognize and integrate shadow, truth, and the fullness of who we are. I’ve been doing Harmony’s “Breathe the Goddess” series recently and loved hearing how she blends symbolism, breathwork, and self-inquiry in her approach. Harmony breaks down her style of Tantra yoga asana, where stillness, breath, and energetic awareness replace fast-paced movement. She explains how even a few postures, practiced with presence, can shift your whole state of being—and how this practice becomes a way of life. We also talk about discipline versus flow, spiritual bypassing, inner honesty, and the myth that we have to leave the world behind to be truly spiritual. Harmony closes the episode with a simple but potent guided meditation to drop into the body and feel the spaciousness within.
