Pillow Talk with Kara-Leah Kara-Leah

This is the FINAL episode of Pillow Talk.
 
Over the last 3 years, I've explored awakening, liberation, relationship, tantra, parenting, money, career, and more on this podcast, but now... this particular expression is done.
 
It's been an extraordinary ride, through many samskaras, traumas, and triggers.  That kind of content has been the mainstay of this podcast, however, a shift appears to been happening in my experience of reality where there's less need or desire to go to those places. In that way, Pillow Talk has been an extraordinary success - I'm experiencing a delightful romantic relationship grounded in a degree of awakeness and liberation never before available to me, and I found my way to it through this journey. 
 
If you haven't yet listened to all of the Pillow Talk episodes, I invite you to go back and join me on the journey that I've been on for the last 3 years. Notice how I show up on each podcast, and feel into the quality of beingness available on each episode. Treat it like an experiment!
 
For those of you who have been with me since the start, sending so much love and gratitude your way. May unexpected blessings shower your path.

This episode reveals how I now know that I need to stay in my relationship - that it's my defence mechanisms that keep making me want to run like hell, and look for reasons to leave him. I share the Tantrik tools that I use to navigate these relationship challenges without being sucked into the drama. This is the embodied work of liberation, revealed through relationship.

Oh relationship, relationship, relationship... thou are my greatest teacher. In this episode I examine the teacher/student relationship, share the challenges I'm navigating in my romantic relationship around commitment and wanting to run, and the ups and downs of parenting. This is the essence of Tantra - relating and intimacy beyond drama, story and self-image.

Since I last spoke to you there's been a real ease and deepening in my romantic relationship after navigating a time of intense challenge.From that space, I share my reflections on why our everyday relationships can be a crucible for Awakening, the simple moments of connection and beauty that I'm treasuring in my life right now and why Heaven is right here in this moment, whatever challenges and suffering we may be facing.• More with Kara-Leah •Find my online and in person events at KaraLeah.comAnd join me on Patreon for as little as $4 per month to recieve teachings.• Credits •Audio • Russel Walder • https://www.russelwalder.comMusic • Matiu Te Huki • https://bit.ly/2y32khxPhoto • Pete Longworth • http://petelongworth.com/Graphic Design • Tara Spice • https://www.taraspice.com/
