4. Living a Tantric Life with Layla Martin

Layla Martin joins the podcast today to answer the question: Why Isn’t Everyone Living a Tantric Life?
Emily and Layla dive deep into what Tantra is and how its concepts have changed both of their lives. Layla shares her history with sexual shame and how after soul-searching in Asia and uncovering the depths of her pain, she learned to reclaim her bliss.
Emily and Layla explore where sexual shame comes from in our culture, why religion is wrong about pleasure, and how to claim bliss as your birthright.
They also expand on how the practice of meditation can support you on this journey of stepping into your most pleasurable life.

Est ce que vous comprenez réellement le pouvoir de l'intimité dans la sexualité? Je vous invite à prendre le temps de creuser ce sujet.

I found Emily's M-word(meditation) first and I finally started enjoying meditation. I haven't stopped for 4 years now. Nothing had sticked before, but Emily's essence and her work got me hooked for good.. It truly changed my life and how I show up in it so deeply. I then randomly came across Layla's work, which I love soooo much❤ It's so yummy, fun, deep, transformative and addictive I can't get enough of it! When I found out that my 2 favourite teachers are actually friends it just felt so good. It felt like home. I think that's what it is...following your work/gifts I feel like I'm coming back home and it's so freaking amazing 🎉🎉 thank you both gorgeous, divine women! 😘😘😘

Hé renseignez vous sur le judaïsme sur le Talmud les juifs reconnaît qu'il y a des prophétesse par exemple la femme d'Isaïe et anna etc... C'est Paul et ses disciples et plus tard Rome
qui a été contre la sagesse de certaines femmes et hommes mais ils ont quand même garder des rituels païen.

[@denisemannino]

I have to agree with Layla on the coffee discussion, as the smell of coffee is incredibly grounding and centering for me, and as I smell it, it’s a path of connection to my bliss. 😉

These women are truly speaking truth to my soul.. I feel like so alone at times.. I’m going through some dark night of the soul kinda transformations right now and at times I feel like I can’t handle much more. But this podcast and Layla’s pod and Matias destefano have made me feel I am not alone.

[@ariesphenix1]

Do you know that it was a practice in India to burn the living wives of dead husbands? That was a practice until the Christians colonised - don’t be biased - embrace the good in every culture but do not ignore the shadow

[@Fairlightmystic]

Just love you goddesses so much 🥰and your outfits are so cute 🥰

Thank you!

I am a Christian US Navy Veteran and sex and erotica is what I live by. Based on love. Nudity is life. No shame being nude. Shame defiles the Architect. Get over it. Corey

Ah faite très attention de ne pas répéter la même erreur que les citoyens de Delphe ont fait c'est à dire l'orgueil de ce croire égal des dieux.
