The Power of Pleasure: Healing Trauma through Vagus Activation with Lauren Harkness Talk Nerdy To Me

    • Self-Improvement

Today’s guest is an expert on the lived experience of neuroplasticity within the nerve pathways that your body uses to experience sexual pleasure. In today’s episode of Talk Nerdy To Me, I’m speaking with Lauren Harkness on expanding your body’s capacity to feel pleasure, the four sexual nerve networks and how they can change, the role of the Vagus Nerve in healing trauma, and what exactly tantric embodiment practices are. This episode may not be suited for sensitive ears as my guest and I cover topics such as sexuality and trauma. 
Lauren Harkness is the Co-Founder of The Tantra Institute where she leads workshops, offers 1:1 coaching, and facilitates trauma release. She is passionate about Mental, Emotional, and Spiritual well-being and is here to be a stand for everyone ready to heal and further ignite their sexual self: healthy, conscious, sovereign, and free! She has a degree in Psychology from the University of Washington. She is an Advanced Certified Tantra Educator with Charles Muir’s Source School of Tantra, and studied Lafayette Morehouse Practices. Lauren is also trained in the D/s arts and Shamanism with Om Rupani, Somatic Experiencing with Peter Levine, and is a Graduate of Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts.
