About half-way through this podcast with the incredible Dr Keesha Ewers, Ayurvedic & Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner with her PhD in Sexology, she defines a Tantra as ‘a teaching’, but this whole show is actually a Tantra. It’s no holds barred as she challenges us to remove the veils of duality, even with things we have traditionally considered dirty or unpleasant or anathema. This makes everything in our environment a potential Tantra, from strangers we meet along a trail to our closest physical lover, with whom we still often maintain a separation. Dr Keesha then applies this perspective of Tantra to our culture, society, social upheaval, racism, politics and the COVID global pandemic. The walls we think we put up for our safety are no match for the reality in which we find ourselves. Rooting down into our universality is the answer. Being able to see ourselves as one with the virus and the police who murdered George Floyd affords us a unique and compassionate vantage point in which to interrupt the behaviors with greater effectiveness, efficiency and totality. This is the way to make social and global change and it starts within our own mind and consciousness.
