Show notes:Opinions like "I will rather be a sacred slut than an empire-building girl boss" can make women angry, thinking that we are against each other when it is not.As women, we are used to fighting for acceptance, which is exhausting. But -- we have nothing to prove to them.The inspiration behind The Uncivilized Man Movement is the primitive man dealing with unexpressed emotions and pain.One of Traver's passions is to help men connect their emotions and feelings to something bigger than themselves so that they can be a better person.Traver wants to thank every woman who's bought his book and spread his message.With power comes great responsibility, and being in a man's body does bring great power. In other words, don't apologize for being born as a man. Do something good with it.The Uncivilized Man Movement's mantra is to let others feel safe as you walk among them.Biology exists, and it needs to be recognized. For that reason, no matter how many books we read and how much money we make, our biology has to be tended to.What can we do for men? Encourage, celebrate and support them.All men have a green light and a red light inside of them.A couple fighting to be in the alpha role will cause harm to the relationship. As a result, it is going to be a power struggle and a pissing contest.For Traver, the depth of the word "safety" is something he had to learn by himself. Now, he helps men to comprise and create it.Traver Boehm is perplexed by the state of our culture. Right now, he feels people are digging their heels against the pendulum — a kind of middle ground unto itself."The women are the message spreaders of the world."Traver feels that as the dominant in the room, men are responsible for the women. That is to say, men must take care of them.

In this episode, originally recorded as a live-class episode of Traver's podcast. Raw and unfiltered, Madelyn and Traver discuss artistry and generosity, purity culture, sensuality, how to make art in triggered moments, polarity, devotion, and healing the wounds that are keeping us at a distance from those we want to love and love well.

Show Notes:
Traver will also appear on Mind Body Musings soon.Speaking to an audience who may be unfamiliar with her, Madelyn discusses her study in yogic intimacy and her upbringing in purity culture.Purity culture is essentially slut-shaming at its core, wholesale denial of feminine sexuality.An extension of this is also the way that women speak of each other and their gender. "I'm not like most girls," or, "Don't worry; I'm not crazy."During her time in bodybuilding, Madelyn found that having been raised to believe and assume that men are "better" than women was contributing to her building physical armor around her emotional truth.Being unable to cope with the "curvature of life" manifested as OCD; living through an eating disorder manifested because of being unable to cope with the curvature of body.A woman revealing to her partner the part of her that is "lost," she is letting go of everything her body has been taught/forced/compelled to do.Being able to be sharp and then go into softness is part of the privilege of being a man.Richard Rudd - The Gene Keys - the highest form of love is to arrive just as you are, beyond the things you're into, beyond what you're practicing. "I don't need you to do anything." More Richard Rudd here: maddymoon.com/richard-rudd/Madelyn explores the concept of approaching dating as a practice - holding your body to transmit, "I'm open. I'm present."One of the primary masculine challenges - there's tremendous anger toward the feminine in the masculine."Entitlement is a big piece of what men need to work through."Three Stages of CommunicationBased on The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida – https://amzn.to/3i2REUUFirst Stage: Reactive, the way most people are interacting.When one feels triggered, repressive reaction, silent treatment, withholding love, punishing, spiritual bypassing.Second Stage: Everyone needs more of this - talk therapy, clear, "When you did X, I felt Y, and I desire ..."This is formatted and structured - very much in the masculine domain.Third Stage: revealing truth as a gift to our partner.Instead of an accusatory, "You always do this to me," transformed into a statement in the name of love, with love.Madelyn has worked on connecting to the part of her that's heartbroken. The heartbroken part is the same part that wants to be an offering."There's no part of heartbroken-ness that wants distance.The first step of elevating relationship into artistry: Recognize your complaint in the relationship.Madelyn is incubating the idea of some sort of show related to her work - polarity dating show? Let us know if you have any producer contacts!

Episode 336: Yogic intimacy and Tantra are spiritual embodiment practices that both encompass and extend beyond sex. Madelyn has been focusing on Tantra to complement the Yogic intimacy work she's been engaged with for years. Learning just basic physical intimacy is a challenge for many of us, let alone exploring and enhancing by engaging the physical with the spiritual, and the masculine with the feminine. Madelyn has been focused more on her TikTok and Instagram these days, as she's been using visual components to teach these concepts. In this episode Madelyn catches up on what she's been up to and explores some tools and practices available to bring art to our intimacy.

Show Notes:
Madelyn's intention is to now release one podcast episode per month.The podcast is no longer at the forefront of her prerogatives as a teacher.Follow Madelyn on Instagram and TikTok, where she's taking her polarity teaching with a visual component. This will be her focus for her time.Madelyn welcomes your feedback on the new plan!Artistic Intimacy Workshop: maddymoon.com/artisticThis is a two-hour workshop on how to bring art into your intimate life.Madelyn has been doing a Tantra course, supplementing the Yogic intimacy she's been studying and teaching.Men often deplete their chi or lifeforce through ejaculation - women 'get' energy and are energized via sex and orgasm.One of the prime quests of the male's journey to living a Tantric lifestyle is to prolong or delay ejaculation, orgasm without ejaculation.In Tantra you are vitalized by multiple orgasms, but physical ejaculation is depleting.Much of Madelyn's work to date has approached from the more spiritual, less physical side of intimacy.This is largely due to the purity culture in which she was raised.When she was young, Madelyn wore a ring symbolizing her marriage with God.While that was part of a negative purity culture, she has adapted the concept and considers herself married to a personal god, and connects with this through the sensual.Sisu Society has changed and evolved. No longer a group coaching program, now a course with tons of practices: maddymoon.com/sisu-societyFeminine Spirit School is a foundational, but still deep, study of feminine/masculine: maddymoon.com/feminine-spiritAs always, one-one-coaching is available as well. maddymoon.com/coaching

Episode 335: Brandon Beachum is an entrepreneur, thought leader, author, and host of The Positive Head Podcast, as well as the late-night style talk show, Optimystic. Brandon has been a serial entrepreneur since childhood, and in 2011 while living on a friend’s couch he co-founded what is present- day ResortShare. Today, Brandon’s primary focus is on helping people shift their perspectives to innerstand the “ultimate nature of reality’’ and create more of what they want to see in their world!

In an effort to do so, Brandon released his first book in January 2021, The Golden Key: Modern Alchemy to Unlock Infinite Abundance. In it Brandon shares the 8 keys of abundance, which he has unlocked over 25 years of experience and deep exploration. He is gifting these keys to the world via the book to help others unlock their own divine potential.

He is also inviting readers to participate in a unique abundance manifestation game that entails them making an energetic contribution for the book after reading it, and then doing three abundance manifestation exercises for 88 days designed to flow abundance back in their direction. In an effort to practice what he preaches, he will also be sharing 50% of the revenue generated from listeners with any podcasts he discusses the book on.

Show Notes:
Madelyn has been focusing her attention on her free videos on Instagram and TikTok.Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madelynmoonTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@madelynvictoriamoonAs the number of podcast episodes has decreased, now is a great time to like, comment, and subscribe on podcast episodes. Mind Body Musings needs your help to move up in the rankings and reach as many people as possible!Brandon had just started shooting his show Optimystic when the COVID lockdown started.The show was put on hold, but now that things are opening back up, things are moving on it again.Brandon has experienced staggering synchronicity around the date of July 28th.25 years ago Brandon experienced a spiritual awakening or epiphany of understanding the nature of reality, that we're all connected.He had a strong impulse to share it with the world, which led to his podcast and everything after.He wanted to distill this awareness down to a book to reach as many people as possible.There are eight Abundance Secrets outlined in The Golden Key:See the OnenessKnow the IllusionFocus Your FlowAlign Your IntentionsBe, Be, BeTrust the MysteryLove What ComesMaster the YoUniverse, the Golden Key that ties all together.Remember to get your audio or eBook copy of The Golden Key by using code MOON at GoldenKey.Gift.Madelyn and Brandon discussed Focus Your Flow more in depth as a tie-in to her masculine/feminine work.Subtitle of the book is 'Modern Alchemy to Unlock Infinite Abundance'.When Mario Andretti was asked about what advice he gives to new drivers, "Whatever you do, don't look at the wall."Where attention goes, energy flows, so you're going to hit the wall.Finding the fine line between identifying a problem and championing it.When Mother Teresa was asked if she would join a march against the war, she said she would not march against it, but should there be a march for peace, she would be there.Identifying an issue on its own isn't enough - you have to identify it so you can avoid it, not move energetically toward it.If you see something that's bad or awful, you want to give a lot of attention to fight it. Instead, take its power away by redirecting your attention and energy.Evolution is a spiral, and we circle back on things we think we've processed.Book: Oneness by Rasha - Brandon refers to it as a "handbook for ascension" - https://amzn.

Episode 334: As more and more of us as individuals and as a society become aware of our own feminine/masculine and engaging in conscious embodiment, the path to equilibrium in a relationship can sometimes feel like it's become more and more difficult. The "bold masculine" impulse to operate by mandates, to organize and structure, can conflict with the more important and valuabe acts of simply being present.
In this episode, originally recorded for The Rising Man podcast, Madelyn and host Jeddy Azuma discuss boundaries, the bold masculine, and the intersection of embodiment and intimacy.

Show Notes:
Madelyn participated in this conversation on Jeddy Azuma's The Rising Man podcast - https://maddymoon.com/rising-manThere's a workshop next week - Artistic Intimacy - maddymoon.com/artisticIf you're interested in using feminine (energy) and masculine (consciousness) energetics in your day-to-day life, know that there's a playful way to handle conflict in your relationship, and are fed up with closed-hearted "lol okay" statements but don't know how to escape that space, this workshop is for you.What is the difference between a boy and a man?A boy has energy of either tiptoeing or stomping on eggshells.A man is more even-keel eggshell walking, more confident, more present in himself, more breath in the way he'll live his life.His presence allows her to be more at ease.Madelyn had to reprogram her constructs from upbringing - that certain emotions were "wrong."When she started on her embodiment path, she learned to use her physical body to reveal anger, reveal grief.This led to her presenting herself in relationships more in real time, avoiding language that leans on shame and blame.The masculine can be characterized as consciousness, depth, nothingness - the container.The feminine can be characterized as energy, motion, chaos - what fills the container.Women often get caught off guard when a man finally arrives at being in touch with his emotions, which can lead to defensiveness from both.Whoever is more consumed and focused on more love in the relationship, is the one in the feminine.You cannot be penetrated by life when you're constantly setting up boundaries - think of a sandbox instead.Setting boundaries is not about trying to create separation and walls.Men can feel dry and boring after too much focus on providing the stability they perceive as being asked of them, and deprioritizing adventure.Women want your truth - don't say yes if you mean no.Feeling the "no" within a "yes" is damaging to trust in a relationship.Be authentically present through eye contact, aftercare, awareness, not necessarily analyzing and structuring.Sometimes the more valuable work is done by not "working" on it, but being present for it.

Show Notes:
Trigger warning: Today's episode covers deep (and often explicit) facets of sexuality, including reclamation of sexuality post-trauma. Wear headphones!Genevieve has a workshop on Your Erotic Blueprints in Sisu Society: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-societyEvery morning, Genevieve starts her day alone in her own space, and claims the day with three hours of orgasms - no computer or phone until 11:00 AM.When she was a teenager, Genevieve would spend nights at punk shows, but go home early enough to get to ballet class the next morning.At first she felt there was a dichotomy between these two activities, but she came to realize they were both an expression of the same thing.Genevieve knew even as a young child that she was meant to change the world.She didn't know in which path she'd make this impact, so she did as many different things as possible.Genevieve didn't grow up familiar with the concept of "safety" and was molested and raped multiple times.She only knew sex as violence and pain until later in life.There was no relationship of her body beyond a tool to be used.Genevieve was homeless briefly at age 16. A girlfriend at 18 suggested she explore becoming a dominatrix.At this point is when she stepped into her own sexual power. "Oh, my sex isn't for other people."Previously sex had largely been transactional, not done for enjoyment.Now she was able to use people's kinks (often expression of pain and trauma as a filter to experience pleasure through) to bring them through their trauma and into healing.Genevieve was raped at age 13, but didn't consciously acknowledge it as such until later in life.She was later able reclaim it through work with a partner.When people who are not experiencing pleasure due to trauma are able to reclaim it, they invariably realize that it was because they were terrified of the power of their pleasure. They were protecting themselves from pleasure.She had to learn how to be intimate and gentle with herself.Many of Genevieve's mentors are much older, and the death of one of these friends and guides became a regular and frequent reality for her.Genevieve has been non-monogamous (Shapeshifter Erotic Blueprint) for as long as she can remember - her lovers are like family or best friends.Her partner was new to even the concept, so it has been a process of communication, acknowledging triggers will occur and utilize them to confront their fears together.Genevieve's book: F**k Yourself Open has more detail on Genevieve's 20+ years of erotic exploration through her lived experience and gifts you the simple, effective tools to reclaim your body and its innate wisdom, once an
