Consciously Speaking

Today’s guest is Lisa Citore. Lisa is a Pleasure Activist. Performance Artist. Writer. Sex Educator. Coach. She has extensive knowledge and training in the tantric arts and Goddess practices and has been coaching men and women and leading sexuality workshops for over a decade. In 2015 she offers her Women’s Sexual Mystery School®, where women of all ages and experience can cultivate their sensuality, vitality, creative expression and feminine bodily wisdom.

Lisa started a year-long blogging experiment to explore the relationship between pleasure and women’s health. She’s sharing her experiences, thoughts, and wisdom along the way as part of her daily practice.

In her own transformational journey around sexual abuse, Lisa is a thriving example that within our wounds lie our greatest gifts. She offers a variety of programs-including sex positive talks, power pleasure sessions and sexuality liberating intensives at universities, conferences, and festivals on the relationship between pleasure and women’s health, creativity and empowerment.

Lisa is laughing, loving and fucking her way through middle age, inspiring both men and women to new possibilities for sex, relationship, and global stewardship. As far as she is concerned, the modern sexual crisis is no less important than the environmental one, and more related than we think.

As part of Consciously Speaking's Guided Meditation Series, transformational poetry has become quite popular. Today’s short guided meditation, led by Michael Neeley, will feature conscious poetry from Rumi, Hafiz, Buddha, Kabir and Valerie Cox.

We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts we make the world.

Speak or act with an impure mind

And Trouble will follow you

As the wheel follows the ox that draws the cart.

We are what we think.

All that we are arises with our thoughts.

With our thoughts we make the world.

Speak or act with a pure mind

and happiness will follow you

As your shadow, unshakable.

"Look how he abused me and beat me,

How he threw me down and robbed me."

Live with such thoughts and you live in hate.

"Look how he abused me and beat me,

How he threw me down and robbed me."

Abandon such thoughts, and live in love.

~ Buddha

Today’s interview will be a turning-of-the-table as Heather Gray (Season 1, Episodes 54, 66 and 101) is sitting in as guest host and interviewing Michael himself.

He has appeared in feature films with Mel Gibson and Kevin Costner, performed off Broadway with Andre Braugher and Kathleen Chalfant, and had recurring roles in several popular soap operas.
