Episode 65: Tantra

Tantra. When we hear this word, most of us probably think first of sex, intimacy, or perhaps something a little esoteric. But tantra is actually much broader than that. It is an ancient spiritual tradition in which the body, consciousness, and our experiences are not separate from one another. Instead of ignoring or controlling the body, it’s about feeling it, being present, and becoming fully aware of what’s happening within us. But how does this relate to our modern daily lives? What can tantra teach us about intimacy, sexuality, boundaries, connection, and our relationship with our own bodies? And why is it that we may understand so much intellectually, yet our bodies still react quite differently?

Sarah discusses all of this today with Stella Witry, a sex therapist and founder of Tantra Luxembourg and Stella Bodywork.
