In this podcast episode, Sylvia shares her basic insights on Tantric Bodywork aka Tantra Massage. She emphasizes that Tantra Massage, just like the Tantric Philosophy, embraces sex as a natural and sacred part of life. The episode addresses common misconceptions, highlighting that it is not about seeking a happy ending. Instead, it is a form of bodywork within a sacred container that can move sexual energy allowing for deep healing throughout the physical & spiritual body.

The podcast explains that tantric bodywork involves a full-body massage, including the yoni and lingam. The host acknowledges that this aspect has contributed to the controversial reputation of Tantra massage. The episode outlines key points, such as the importance of communication during the massage & the basic set up.

Sylvia emphasizes that the goal of the massage is not necessarily orgasm but the movement of energy and emotional release. The episode also details the booking process, the intimate setting for the massage, and the practitioner's efforts to create a clean and comfortable space.

She shares a quick dive into all of her personal experiences receiving tantric bodywork including the emotional and transformative aspects of the sessions.
The podcast concludes with a reminder for listeners to do thorough research before choosing a practitioner and to follow their intuition in exploring Tantra massage.

How to Love Men Again - The Stages of Feminism

Learn Sylvia's theory regarding the 3 Stages to reach a state of deep devotion to men while also having a strong stand on feminism!

Stage One: Dormant & Numbness
- At this initial stage, individuals lack awareness of the dynamics between genders.
- They may exhibit a sense of numbness, passively accepting societal norms without questioning them.
- Behaviors may include conforming to traditional gender roles and prioritizing male comfort over personal desires.
- Women may feel compelled to please men without considering their own needs or desires.
Stage Two: Awakening that leads into a Rebellion
- In this phase, individuals awaken to the injustices and inequalities faced by women in society.
- They harbor anger and resentment towards societal structures and often direct their frustrations towards men.
- Women may engage in activism, protest, and feminist discourse, challenging patriarchal norms and asserting their autonomy.
- There's a rejection of traditional gender roles and a desire to break free from societal expectations, often leading to a rejection of feminine traits and an embrace of masculine qualities.
Stage Three: Integration and Balance
- At the pinnacle of the feminist cycle, individuals transcend anger and rebellion, embracing a more balanced perspective.
- They recognize the inherent worth and dignity of both men and women, understanding that societal conditioning impacts both genders.
- There's a shift towards compassion, empathy, and collaboration, fostering healing and understanding between genders.
- Women reclaim their feminine energy while honoring masculine qualities, seeking harmony and unity rather than division.

Each stage represents a unique phase of personal growth and evolution, characterized by shifts in beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors towards men and gender dynamics. Through self-reflection and introspection, individuals can progress through these stages, ultimately reaching a state of integration and balance.

Listeners are invited to do a journaling exercise. This episode serves as a catalyst for self-exploration, encouraging individuals to embrace a tantric approach to feminism.
