Trauma is a very complex and multi-layered topic. Although there are obviously many different levels of trauma we all carry it in our bodies. That's the human condition. And it's the number one thing that blocks our sensual pleasure and multi-orgasmic power.What I've found to be true is that healing trauma is not a straight and narrow path. It's as complex as we are and everyone's journey is unique.This journey is more art than science. And requires patience, courage, curiosity and time. It's an ongoing process, like yoga. There's always more to unfold. And we're not meant to go it alone.In this episode I go into the specific body-based tools/healing arts that I use as a trauma-informed coach. I riff on:Why we need to relax the scientific approach to sensual healing and embrace the healing artsRedefining orgasm and tapping into sustainable multi-orgasmic powerYin power orgasmHow we nourish the libido via cultivationHow stress and trauma wreak havoc on our libidoTrauma Release Exercises (TRE)The physical, energetic and emotional aspects of traumaThe four pillars of sensual healingSacred Sensual MovementThe 5 Key Moves of Vaginal MasterySensual BreathworkThe healing power of pleasureSome resources for you:Learn more about Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) here.Learn more about Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) here.Learn more about Somatic Experiencing here.Check out Sacred Sensual Movement hereCheck out Sensual Breathwork here.Book your free Pleasure Queen Activation Session hereAccess the Vital Goddess Masterclass here

How do you feel about the word Crone? Personally, it just doesn't do it for me. I have no interest in Croning. The word feels horrible in my body. Dry.  Contracting. Disempowering. It feels cringe-worthy. Like nails on a chalkboard. It feels out of alinement and simply untrue.  It doesn't resonate with me on any level. So, although many would say I'm well within in my Crone years, I'm just not going there.I'm choosing to Queen instead. The word feels much better in my body.  Empowering. Expansive. Rich. Alive. Creative. Juicy. Fun. Exciting. Like setting off on an adventure. It feels true and in alignment with my vision and what I came here to do on the planet. So I claim it.It's not that I'm against aging. I'm just into aging magnificently. Beautifully. Powerfully. Creatively. Orgasmically.The third chapter of a woman's life can be her masterpiece. It can and ideally should be the richest, most joyful, most creative and sexiest chapter of her life. Where she gets to truly claim her freedom, be the artist of her life and to shine. Without apology. Without negotiating. Without all of the BS rules culture has put on her sexuality in an attempt to keep her down and cut her off from the her power source. From the Taoist perspective midlife and menopause are called Second Spring. It's a spiritual and sexual rebirth.  A time when a woman taps into the power of her sexual energy for real and rejuvenates, realigns and redesigns her life from the inside out. Her way. According to her deepest core values and desires. A time when she claims her freedom and her crown as Queen of her domain. A time when she gets to do her best and most creative work. Fueled by her desire, her pleasure and her orgasm.Our sexual energy aka orgasm is our creative  life force and the foundation of everything. It's how we co-create. It's the source of our manifesting powers. And our direct line to the Sacred Feminine. It's how we bring heaven down to Earth. And do what we came here to do with joy, zest and love. Its depths are oceanic. Its potential, limitless. And to rob a woman of that when she's just getting started is cruel and devastating. It doesn't have to go that way. We don't have to Crone. We get to Queen.But we have to choose it. And we have to take our pleasure seriously.As Dr. Christiane Northrup says in her book Goddesses Never Age: "You are sitting on a throne of gold. It's your erotic anatomy."I couldn't agree more.Our sexuality and sensuality by design are meant to be a source of nourishment, enlightenment and empowerment.Women by nature are designed to be multi-orgasmic creatrixes till the end.Getting stronger over time, not weaker.I'm all about Queening up!Are you with me?  Then this episode is for you!I riff on:Why I don't resonate with the word CroneOur lack of sensual education and how it impacts our vitality and purposeWhy you must come firstHow embodiment of our sensuality is essential to thriving; especially at midlifeHow self-cultivation is the master keyWhy so many women embrace the CroneWhat's possible when we reclaim our erotic powerDissolving the trauma that blocks usTips to beginSome Resources for You to Explore:Explore Sensual Breathwork hereExplore Sacred Sensual Movement hereDownload the Heart of the Goddess Breathwork & Breast Massage practice hereSign up for my Free Jade Egg course 

Your radiance is a superpower. It's your best protection. What ever is going on in the outer world, whether on the world stage or in your relationships, when your inner light is turned on you can meet it  from a place of power and agency. When you are "in your radiance" (and that looks different for every human) you can engage with world and do your life with a lot more freedom, presence, ease, flow, connection and love. It's a vibe. And it's available to anyone who wants to cultivate it.This is the realm of feminine magic, alchemy and magnetism. Where there is no need to push, force or struggle. Where we get to relax, lean back, steep in our essence and let love lead. When action is needed, it becomes inspired and aligned. To cultivate our radiance is an art and a daily moment to moment practice. We need to train ourselves to get in tune with the frequency of approval. We need to get right with what's actually woking  and what's beautiful and feel it in our bodies, celebrate it. bless it. This is so not bypass or people pleasing. That comes from a place of nervous system disregulation and fear. Approval comes from a place of deep nervous system regulation and embodied pleasure. The more approval and pleasure you have circulating in your system, the brighter your radiance shines. This is gratitude on steroids.When  you are embodying your true femme essence and shinning your light, you benefit and the whole world benefits. This is spirit into matter, bringing heaven down to Earth. It's your birthright; your feminine genius in action.  And you get to activate it and dial it up.In this episode I riff on:Radiance and the feminineApproval vs disapproval and the effectives they have on our radianceHow approval activates the feminineYoni Puja; the ancient Tantric practice of Yoni worshipYoni Massage, Orgasmic Meditation and approvalApproval vs people pleasing and fawningCritical thought vs approvalThe art of approval and building muscle memory6 simple approval practices to dial up you radianceSome resources for you to explore:Download the Radiant Inner Smile Meditation hereDownload the Heart of the Goddess Breathwork practice hereSign up for my Free Jade Egg course hereSign up for the Free Vital Goddess Masterclass hereBook a Free Pleasure Queen Activation Session with me here

Your magic is powerful. We can call it Feminine Magic, Shakti Magic, Goddess Magic, Courtesan Magic,Yoni magic, Pussy magic, Erotic Magic Orgasm Magic, I use all of those words interchangeably .Choice of word will vary woman to woman and ultimately the words are not that important. What is important is the embodied frequency. The lived essence of what these words represent and invoke.What I'm taking about here is the feminine principle; this life force creative life-giving energy that's in every human. It contains the rich deep wise wilderness of our rawest emotions and the swirling nuances of our ecstasy in the same breath. It contains the codes of our soul's deepest yearnings. The content we need to fully live, create and express. And it's been violently suppressed for thousands of years. Those of us in a female body have potent access to this essence. And when we chose to activate it, we ignite our innate powers of bringing  spirit into matter, heaven down to earth, embodied love, alchemy and rejuvenation. We reclaim our birthright to co-create and dance with life. And allow life to dance through us.And our world is starving for it.The word feminine can trigger a lot of folks. I get that. Through the lens of patriarchy it becomes weak, toxic even. I'm about reclaiming the wholeness of that word. And reclaiming the multi-faceted expressions of this sacred essence. The expression of the feminine in all humans is as unique as our fingerprint. The suppression of the feminine has created an extreme polarization into the masculine principle.  And that I feel is at the root of much of the devastation and suffering we're experiencing right now on the planet. To be clear, I'm not dissing the masculine. I love the many strong and healthy expressions of the masculine. In myself, in the men in my life and in the world. I'm not suggesting that swinging into an overly polarization of the feminine is the answer, by any means. But I do feel that we are in dire need of a revival of the embodied feminine principle if we are to create a a more balanced and beautiful world.In this episode I riff on:Why feminine magic matters especially at midlife Why I don't vibe with the word "Crone."Why our magic matters to the world; especially now"Why we're afraid of it4 tips to activate your own magicFind the book Sacred Pleasure hereFind the book Emotional Intimacy hereSign up for my Free Jade Egg course hereAccess the Free Vital Goddess Masterclass hereBook your free Pleasure Queen Activation session with me here

The word embodiment gets used a lot. As does the word empowerment. They’re often used in the same sentence, but something is missing from the conversation. Something major. What are we missing? The very thing that women have been shamed for, blamed for, vilified for and attacked for for thousands of years. The most powerful force on the planet; the Femme Erotic. To reclaim our sensual sovereignty is to reclaim our magic. And that's no small thing. We have healing work to do. And much of it has to do with dissolving and transmuting generations of trauma and internalized patriarchy and cultivating honest emotional intimacy with ourselves. It’s a tall order. And it’s an inside job.As tempting as it can be, we can't check out or selectively numb. Not if we want to feel fully alive. To reclaim our pleasure, we need to be willing to feel the raw, the real, and the intensity of this human experience. When we do, we gain access to the wisdom of our emotions, the power of inner alchemy and we open the doors to truly experiencing embodied erotic power. The collective pain body around human sexuality is immense. It  can seem daunting to step into this realm, I know. And yet if we want to thrive and If we care at all about the generations to come, step into it we must. It’s time. And we don't have to do it alone.Our sexual energy is not just about sex. It’s the foundation of everything. And very few of us have ever been taught how to honor it as sacred, cultivate it and build personal love-infused power with it.There are ways, arts, that can support you in this. These arts have been violently subdued and submerged for thousands of years. Almost to  a state of oblivion  But they are resurfacing.We're starting to remember.These are the arts of  the Goddess of  Love, Alchemy and Beauty. I call her Venus, but She goes by many names. And ready or not, She's coming back full force. And right on time.I feel that this is the new frontier of women's empowerment. And there are some brave and beautiful women who are diving into this wild and vast terrain of the feminine and reclaiming themselves mind body and soul. These women are my heroes. They are changing the world by changing their world.  As Buckminster Fuller said:  "To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”To heal our sensuality and reclaim our embodied erotic power is to build a new sustainable model by building internal power.The kind of power and internal knowing that no one can ever take away from you.  A state of being where you have a direct line to your divinity, know who you are and why you're here. A state of being where you get to fully express and give your gifts from a solid foundation of inspired, aligned and pleasure-infused action.In this episode I cover:What is embodied erotic power? And how it differs from other types of power.How embodied erotic power is sustainable powerEmbracing the physical, emotional and spiritualHow your erotic/sexual energy is not just about sexEros and inner wisdomRemembering and reconnectingThe missing link: our sensualityThe high cost of shaming our sensualityWhy we need sensual/erotic practice to anchor our powerLibido and Yoni MasteryHow we give our power awayReclaiming the sacred vessel of your bodyComing home to our sensesCultivating a pleasure mindset and conquering limiting beliefs about our sensualityInvesting in pleasure and the power of consistent practiceFueling your passion with pleasureStarting a mindful sensuality practiceCreating a sanctuary for your sensualitySacred self-pleasurePleasure as a portal i&

We live in a mechanized world with a primarily mechanized view of the body. That view doesn't serve us when it comes to sensual pleasure, orgasm and all things Yoni.  Science has brought us far in so many ways, but when it comes to our truly embodying the source of our feminine power, it becomes an obstacle.Yoni Mastery is not a science. It's an art. If we truly want to experience what our bodies are capable of we need to bring back the beauty, the poetry, the rapture, the nuance, the mystery. We need to embrace the sublime moves of the Yoni.  Her moves are not mechanical, they are fluid, wave-like, pulsating. And when you allow your Yoni to move in the way She needs to move, you activate the multi-orgasmic ocean within.  You unlock the feminine codes within you and you remember.We can learn to unlock the deep mysteries of the Yoni and artfully play this exquisite instrument of ours. It's a learnable skill just like in music or dance. There are scales and basic steps that can open the door into creating your own artful embodied expression.When we let go of the mechanical lens  of the body, embrace the inner artist and cultivate the fluid power of the Yoni, we are on the creative and circuitous path of Yoni Mastery.In this episode I explore:The limitations of science and the need for artMoving beyond the mechanistic view of the bodyReclaiming the beauty and poetry of the YoniMastery as an unfolding processYoni Mastery as a movement artLearning to play your instrumentThe Shakti Core ® Method and the art of Yoni articulationThe power of precisionThe multidimensional moves of the YoniThe 5 Key Moves of Yoni MasteryMoving beyond the KegelThe wave-like, pulsating moves of the YoniSensual breathwork; reclaiming the tidal rhythm of the breath and the YoniHow to begin your Yoni Mastery journey Resources:Take the Vital Goddess Masterclass hereStart your Yoni Mastery journey for free  with  The Ultimate Jade Egg Primer hereLearn more about my Yoni Mastery program Second Spring Queen hereBook your free Pleasure Queen Activation Session with me here

Sensual sovereignty begins with the breath. It's the master key to activating the Holy Grail within and restoring our natural multi-orgasmic nature. Orgasm is a continuum. It's a wave- like life force energy that's available to all of us. When we restore our connection to the natural tidal rhythm of our breath we learn to open the pathways of this energy to flow more freely in our bodies.  When we journey into the magnificent vessels of our bodies with the practice of conscious connected breath, we ignite our natural capacity to heal on physical emotional and spiritual levels.When we invite our sensuality into the practice, it brings breath medicine to a whole new level. Our sensuality is the secret sauce that most people are missing.  When we bring our sensual selves into the process we're coming from a place of grounded feminine power. And that has a profound effect on our healing. Sensual Breathwork™ has the power to dissolve long held emotional and physical blocks to our pleasure.  When we learn to receive the breath we can melt  tension and trauma that has been holding us captive for decades. And do so in the most gentle, loving and compassionate way. When we open to the breath, we open to life. When we breathe in the way we are naturally designed to breathe and learn to truly receive the medicine of the breath, we set ourselves free and reclaim our birthright of being connected to and supported by the orgasmic wave of life.The keys to our queendom are literally right under our noses.In this episode I dive into:How we block the magic of the breath and why that makes senseHow we are naturally designed to breathe How our natural breath heals our physical bodyHow our natural breath heals our emotional bodyHow our natural breath activates our sacred essenceHow we are designed to breathe in ways that can put us into stats of ecstasy in secondsThe power of the nose inhaleHow our armoring blocks our pleasureA simple way to start to turn it aroundHow to invite in the sensuality of the breath with the sense of smellBreathing into the heart and wombHow the breath teaches us to receive and surrender to pleasureWhat is the practice of Sensual Breathwork™?Why is it so powerful?Catching the wave of the breath and entering your flow stateLetting go of the "fix it" syndromeBefriending our blocksHow the breath helps us meet and heal our physical & emotional woundsThe wisdom of our emotionsHow the subconscious mind runs us and how the breath gives us access to healingHow the breath is a portal into our divinity aka our Inner GoddessThe sacred experiment of seeing the breath as a loverResources to take it deeper:Learn more about the power of nose breathing and the impact on our sensuality with this free training: Breathe Like a Goddess.Download the Shakti Reset Breathwork PracticeDownload the Pleasure Queen Activation Breathwork Meditation

We're in the midst of a collective rebirth right now. A new way of being human on the planet is emerging. And healing our sensuality is at the heart of it all.We're being called into deeper intimacy with ourselves, with each other and with nature;   the beautiful planet we call home. During this transition things are bound to feel a bit (or a lot) chaotic. As things shift and dismantle it's bound to get messy. Healing is never neat, tidy or straightforward. We have to be willing to come undone, to somatically unwind, to be raw. That's all part of the process. And we were born for this.And yet...amidst all of the chaos it's never been more important to have a vision. As astrologer Caroline W Casey says "Imagination lays the tracks for the reality train to follow."  If we we don't have a vision; a clear read on our desires, we're going to end up somewhere we don't want to go. We may even get completely derailed. If you think that the manifestation game is only for millennials and the wealth coaches they follow, I hear you. There's a lot of noise out there. Some of it is a bit annoying, immature and misguided. So, dear Queen, that's why we need you in this game. Your vision matters. Your desires matter. Your turn on matters. Massively. The ripple effect you have on your domain is immense.I feel that turned on seasoned women will guide us through this wild mutation with grace and joy.  With the lived wisdom we've accumulated, the big love in our hearts and the creative life force of our sexual energy, we are indeed a force. And a source of much needed guidance for the younger generations. It's never been a better time to get clear on our vision and desires and get real with manifestation. When we power that with our sensual pleasure, we've got something really powerful going on.That's what this episode is all about; the power of intentional turn on.I dive into:How we sabotage gratitudeThe power of embodied gratitudeWhy pleasure is the ultimate manifesting hackThe frequency of visceral gratitudeThe ancient roots of sex magicWhy is sex magic is practical magicThree simple steps to manifest with pleasureHow to take it next level with a sensual ritualEnjoy!xo,DianneAnd if you're resonating with what I'm saying here in the show, I've created a free training for you to take it deeper.
