This weeks podcast is a powerful transmission from Chantelle shared at our Fundamentals of Tantra workshop in Perth. Chantelle guides us into the living map of inner polarity, where masculine and feminine energies, both light and dark, coexist as one unified whole.

Through the lens of the four archetypes: Light Masculine, Dark Masculine, Light Feminine, and Dark Feminine, you’ll discover how each aspect of your being carries a sacred gift and a shadow. This is where the real Tantra begins: not in transcending emotion or chasing stillness, but in mastering the dance between action and surrender, love and truth, creation and destruction.

This episode is a call to step beyond polarity into presence, to cultivate the spacious witnessing of the light masculine, the fierce clarity of the dark masculine, the tender heart of the light feminine, and the raw aliveness of the dark feminine. Together, they form the soul’s compass: a way of living that’s both grounded in purpose and drenched in feeling.

This conversation will illuminate how mastering your inner polarity changes everything, from how you love, to how you lead, to how you meet yourself in every breath.

Inside This Episode:

• What the four archetypes of masculine and feminine truly represent

• How to recognize when you’re polarized in one energy (and what to do about it)

• The difference between Light and Dark expressions — and why both are sacred

• Why meditation and movement are equally essential to awakening

• How to cultivate balance through practical Tantric tools

• The power of bringing compassion to your fire and presence to your softness

• Living from soul — the center point where all archetypes unite

There’s a freedom that comes when you stop trying to “be” one thing — and allow all of you to exist.

This is the path of inner mastery. The path of Tantra.

Top Quotes:

“Life isn’t just stillness — it’s the flow of both.”

“When we live from soul, we have access to it all — the dark, the light, the masculine, the feminine.”

“The work isn’t to choose a side. It’s to learn how to dance between them.”

No Mud, No Lotus: Embracing the Dark and the Divine

Can you meet your darkness with the same reverence you offer your light?

In this raw and liberating transmission from our Fundamentals of Tantra event Chantelle Raven invites us into the heart of Tantra — where awakening is not about rising above, but about descending into the body and welcoming all that we are.

Through stories, practice, and embodied wisdom, she guides us to see Kundalini not as something to control or “achieve,” but as life force itself — the pulse of creation, destruction, and renewal that moves through every breath. What happens when you stop resisting your contractions and start trusting your body’s intelligence? When you let the mud be mud — and find the lotus blooming right through it?

This episode is a fierce reclamation of the dark feminine — the part of us that feels deeply, speaks truth, and refuses to hide behind spiritual perfection. It’s an invitation to bring compassion to your shadow, reverence to your rage, and love to the parts of you that were once deemed “too much.”

If you’re a practitioner, space holder, or simply a human who feels deeply, this one will move you — and remind you that the divine isn’t separate from your humanity.

Inside This Episode:

• What Kundalini truly is and how to work with life force energy in the body

• The difference between contraction and resistance

• Dark Feminine vs. wounded feminine — how to know the difference

• Turning shame into self-acceptance through the “So f*cking what” mantra

• How spiritual conditioning can suppress our authentic expression

• Practicing radical acceptance before creating change

• The daily devotion of embodying your future self

There’s something holy that happens when we stop performing “high vibe” and start honoring what’s real. When we let rage move through love, and tears become our prayer.

This is the Tantra - where shadow and light, human and divine, are finally allowed to dance.

Top Quotes:

“Discomfort is only discomfort when we resist it.”

“There’s an ecstatic current available in every feeling.”

“Dark feminine isn’t chaos — it’s truth with compassion.”

“Accept first. From that place, change becomes devotion.”

And when you’re ready to walk deeper, come find us in the trainings, the retreats, the spaces where the lotus keeps blooming.

• Embracing divinity in the duality of human experience.

For most of us though, as life experience builds, trauma and conditioning accumulate and become a blockage to our authentic expression. We begin to act and speak in ways that have been deemed acceptable rather than what is authentic.

We can begin to flush the debris of trauma and conditioning which has become the block to our expression and begin to rediscover the authentic expression of our heart and soul… and begin gifting our authentic expression to the world!

In this week’s podcast recorded at the 2021 Living Tantra Retreat in Bali , Chantelle Raven explores 

• Being fearless in uncovering and following the heart 
• Moving closer toward your essential nature and authentic expression

Our sexual education either comes from religion that promote abstinence and shame, pornography that promotes an over-exaggeration of sexuality and a flesh & friction act, or school that is mechanical at best and tries to avoid talking about sex and intimacy.

There is another option – Tantra – an education based on a framework of sacredness, presence healing and mystery. By following the framework laid out by Raven and Aaron, you will be able to awaken your sexual energy and create a healthy sexual relationship with yourself and others.

In this podcast we will learn about

• The framework for sexual awakening that consists of sacred space, meditative awareness, sound, breath, movement and energy circulation
• How to work with sexual abuse by engaging in healthy sexuality
• The difference between how men and women approach and experience sexuality

• The connection between heart and genitals

A daily practice is the foundation to embodied change, which begins with creating inner safety.

Through self-attunement and expression you shift your energy and awareness toward your own needs and can begin setting healthy boundaries. These boundaries then create more safety to be yourself when relating with others.  

In this podcast, recorded at the Living Tantra Retreat in Bali in May 2021, Raven discusses:

• The pillars of Tantra are consecration, transmutation, transfiguration, and sublimation 
• How to start your day with a daily practice
• How to create safety to vibrate your emotional body

Tantra isn’t just a practice—it’s a profound invitation to reclaim your aliveness.

In this excerpt from "Tantra Unveiled - Masterclass", Tara and Raven explore the ancient wisdom of Tantra, a path that dissolves the barriers between mind, body, and spirit. Often misunderstood as being solely about sexuality, Tantra is a sacred tradition that invites you to embrace every part of your human experience—joy, pain, desire, and grief—without judgment. It’s not about fixing yourself or striving for perfection; it’s about rediscovering the innate wholeness and vitality that already exists within you.

Through breath, movement, and connection, Tantra teaches us how to fully inhabit our bodies and emotions. It invites us to let go of societal conditioning that numbs us and suppresses our natural instincts. Imagine a life where pleasure and pain coexist harmoniously, where your sexuality becomes a source of healing rather than shame, and where every moment is an opportunity to feel deeply alive. Tantra asks one radical question: Can you fully be yourself?

This episode explores:

• Why Tantra is the key to unlocking deep healing and emotional freedom
• How embracing your emotions leads to profound transformation
• The power of slowing down and reconnecting with your body’s wisdom
• Why sexuality is not separate from spirituality but a potent tool for awakening

If you’re ready to break free from numbness, shame, or disconnection—and step into a life of vitality and authenticity—this is your invitation. Join us at the next Tantra retreat or dive deeper into this sacred practice. It’s time to ignite your inner fire and live fully alive. Are you ready?

 Quotes from this episode:
"Tantra isn’t about trying to be anything—it’s about riding the waves of aliveness. The end of all trying is the beginning of true freedom."

"Trauma doesn’t live in the mind; it lives in the body. When we allow our emotions to move freely, we release what isn’t love and invite pleasure into our lives."

Mainstream sexual education often focuses on chasing the end goal, and the ‘release’ of orgasm. During orgasm there is a high level of exchange in life force energy and emotion, with women often becoming receptor of men’s emotions and energy. The enabling of continence using tantric tools during lovemaking, means that ejaculation is not the end of the goal, instead it allows energy to move throughout the body for a full-body multi-orgasmic experience. This includes enabling ejaculatory choice for men!

In this podcast, taken from Bali Living Tantra Retreat in May 2021, Raven and Aaron share their stories and experiences about sublimation

• The benefits of sublimation
• Tantric tools for sublimation for men and women
• How to incorporate self-pleasure and deep state meditation during lovemaking
• How to navigate in peaks and valleys of lovemaking

Therapy, yoga, and shamanism are all healing modalities that offer tools and practices more anchored in the masculine energy.  Whilst the tradition of Tantra offers elements of these other modalities, it differs in that it’s approach to healing is to balance masculine energy with feminine energy. This holistic approach brings aliveness to descending into the human experience to birth an embodied awakening.

In this podcast, from the May 2021 Bali Living Tantra Retreat, Chantelle Raven talks about

•  Similarities and key differences of therapy, yoga, shamanism, and Tantra
•  How to dive into the human experience and descend into the body to transcend the body.
• Tantric practices which balance masculine consciousness with feminine aliveness
•  What it means to ‘live Tantra’.

Pain and pleasure are part of the flow of life. It's part of this reality, part of this life. Is suffering unavoidable? Yes! Suffering is not created by pain or lack of pleasure; it is created by our resistance to pain and attachment to pleasure. When we truly allow ourselves to feel everything and open in surrender, we find universal Source energy, love, acceptance, peace, and even ecstasy. The good, the bad, the ugly: it is all meant to be felt. Therein lies our power.

How do we untangle our resistance and surrender to the flow of life? How do we open to this universal Source energy and reclaim our power?

The difference between spiritual perfectionism and spiritual maturity is a letting go of attachment to "having it all together" and being perfectly happy, and an understanding that "darker emotions" (anger, fear, sadness) aren’t bad but are a part of the human experience to be embraced.

Through daily practice, emotional continence is possible, where you can hold space for yourself and other’s emotional bodies, in all colors of the rainbow, free from judgment, denial, and suppression.

In this podcast, Chantelle Raven shares her personal journey of transitioning from spiritual perfectionism to spiritual maturity. This episode includes:

• The common phases and pitfalls of the spiritual path
• How to release attachment to spiritual ideals and move toward spiritual maturity
• How to bring consciousness to the primal body, while also remaining embodied
• The development of awareness as a key tool to not get swept up in the emotional or trauma body

People get triggered by each other or situations all the time, but it’s the way we react (or respond) to people and situations when triggers arise that matters.

The key is to stay with the uncomfortable sensations that the trigger brings up, rather than to attack or blame another, run from the situation, or completely shut down and stay silent. To do this requires us staying in our bodies, and giving breath, sound, and movement (the 3 pillars of embodiment) to whatever is arising in those moments. 

In this podcast, taken from a live Q&A session with Chantelle Raven, she shares how to:

• Start expressing and releasing built-up tension and emotion through the body for healing and resolution
• Balance the practice of positivity & affirmations with looking at the underlying negative beliefs that are blocking these affirmations from being a reality
• Use breath, sound, and movement to clear trapped emotion and make space to live more in the moment, and become fully alive, totally present, and no longer trying to control your human experience

Tantra was introduced 5,000 years ago as a practice of embodied meditation that incorporated touch, sound, awareness, pleasure, intuition, and lovemaking as a healing modality. Tantra is the art of being totally present to whatever arises in life and embracing it all. Living tantra means living an authentic life, where we allow ourselves to be in our bodies, not in our heads, and to surrender to life, not resist it. 

In this podcast, Chantelle Raven talks about:

• How to meditate Tantrically
• What it means to ignite your true power by being fully authentic 
• Tools to face drama and triggers in everyday life 
• How to engage with life in a way that is connected, engaging and heart-centered

Beautiful and meaningful outer relationships begin by turning inward and meeting all parts of ourselves in an authentic way. This is essentially the journey of Inner Marriage, where we explore and unite our inner masculine and feminine energies into wholeness. By doing so we take the focus away from seeking someone outside ourselves to complete us and make vows to become our own inner soul mate. From here our inner marriage provides the safety and richness from which we can overflow our authentic love and joy into our relationship.

In this episode, Chantelle Raven describes the pathway of inner marriage which: 

• Explores and unites inner masculine and feminine energies
• Embraces self-love and responsibility to release co-dependency
• Embraces sovereignty, connection, freedom and love
• Fosters genuine affection and deep intimacy

When love depends on another or external circumstances, our worthiness becomes continuously dictated by validation from the outside world, and it becomes difficult to set healthy boundaries. Through attunement to our inner world and consciously treating ourselves with the love and respect we seek, we set the foundations for embodied change in our outside world. Essentially we teach others how to treat us by how we treat ourselves!
In this powerful episode, Chantelle Raven explores Tantra and somatic-based meditation to:

•  Release the mind and attune to ourselves in the present moment.
• Bring loving awareness and respect to ourselves.
• Rediscover self-worth and embody self-love.
• Authentically communicate needs and healthy boundaries.

Outside the constrained sexual education of religion (abstinence and shame-based) or pornography (over-expressed & image-based), exists an education on sexuality and lovemaking that brings in the sacredness and honors the incredible act of sex that creates new life on the planet - Tantra.  

In this juicy episode, Chantelle Raven dives into the ancient secrets of Tantric lovemaking as a sacred and healing practice which:

• embraces pleasure with full presence

The foundation of self-worth is a deep attunement to oneself.  What naturally births from this inner-attunement is the ability to ask for what you need in relationships with others, without being demanding, blaming, or having attachment to the outcome. When you are in tune with what you need and are consciously practicing honoring and meeting your own emotional, physical and sexual needs, your requests to others will be a healthy expression of your own ability to show up for yourself

In this episode, Chantelle shares: 

• How to attune deeply to yourself and meet your own needs
• Key processes you can do to make requests from an open, vulnerable heart space. 
• Get clear on what you and your partner’s non-negotiable needs are in a relationship, and whether you can both meet them, to determine compatibility

Shadow work isn’t just a concept—it’s the gateway to your deepest transformation. In this excerpt from the Living Tantra Retreat in Bali, we dive into the unconscious parts of ourselves that Carl Jung called “the shadow.” These hidden aspects often sabotage our lives, relationships, and inner peace, but what if they’re actually our greatest teachers?

Through breath, sound, and movement, you’ll learn how to face these shadows head-on, uncovering the jewels they hold for your personal growth. From the victim and control freak to the wounded child and sabotager, we all carry shadows that whisper in our ears and hold us back. But ignoring them is like trying to keep a beach ball underwater—it’ll only smack you in the face harder.

This episode explores:
     • Why shadow work is the quickest path to lasting transformation
     • How suppressed parts of yourself can become allies instead of enemies
     • The key question most people forget to ask their shadows: What do you need?
     • Why embodiment—not just cognitive understanding—is essential for true change

If you’re ready to stop playing small and step into your power, this is your invitation. Join us at the next Living Tantra Retreat in Bali to experience these life-changing practices firsthand. It’s time to confront what’s holding you back and ignite the fire of transformation within. Are you ready?

Quotes from this episode:

"Shadow work is by far my favorite work out of all of this body of work, because it’s the quickest path to transformation, to that metamorphosis, and out the other side of this, through the unconscious, you actually see that these shadows are our greatest teachers and are there with these jewels for us, our allies.”

“The key piece that most people don’t do around shadows is asking that shadow: What is it that you need? What do you want? Because I keep trying to push you away, and you keep knocking at my door—clearly you’re trying to tell me something.”

Every human has both masculine and feminine energies within them. When these energies are unbalanced, it can lead to either burnout and disconnection, or being overly emotional and attached.  This then ripples into all areas of life – from relationships, to work, to how you feel about yourself. 

In this episode, Chantelle shares...

• What is unhealthy masculine and unhealthy feminine energies
• How do these unhealthy qualities show up in both male and female bodies
• How these energies when expressed unhealthy can sabotage relationships and when expressed healthily can nurture relationships
• What the perfect balance of masculine and feminine energies in male bodies vs female bodies is

There are two main unhealthy relationship patterns that present in most couples. Typically we can switch between the two unhealthy patterns, until we learn the lessons to come into healthy (secure) dynamics. Which of these shows up in your relationships?
 
 1. Anxious attachment (shadow: love addict): Can be needy, fearful or clingy, and depend heavily on their partner. Forces connection.
 
 2. Avoidant attachment (shadow: love avoider): Tends to keep distance from their partner and from others in his or her life. Forces disconnection.

Secure attachment is the ideal, where people remain together without consistently creating separation and have a supportive, well-functioning relationships.

Hear Raven explain how the relationship styles show up in relationship and the process for coming into balance.

In this episode, you'll..

• Identify which is your predominant relationship style
• Learn how to heal the anxious/attachment wounds and develop secure attachment
• Understand why we attract the same kinds of partners again and again
• Find out how to get out of the endless cycle of love/hate and push/pull dynamics
• Discover why living from the heart doesn't mean just love and light (tender), it can be lovingly dark (fierce).
• Let go of projection and recognise the enemy and the saviour live within you
• Identify whether the relationship you are in ultimately supports growth.

When you have a solid inner-union, you're an apricot, and not an oyster. What do I mean by that? Most women have this slippery center, that's very fragile, but she acts tough on the outside. She's got a hard shell...

An apricot is the complete opposite. Inside she is strong and solid; she's got her practice, she knows she can look after herself, her masculine is discerning, aware, and on-purpose. But what's on the outside is this softness, and juiciness.

So, when you're with a man, he feels the juicy apricot nectar of the elixir of your feminine essence. When he is not with you, he's feeling the solid core of the apricot, that doesn't go into the usual drama that women go into.

Find out more about being solid within and juicy outside in this episode.

Continuing the conversation from our previous episode, hear Chantelle Raven and Aaron Kleinerman share personally about their own relationship journey and keys they discovered for living in a harmonious, authentic and on-fire union.

Tune in to discover...

• Why taking responsibility for your emotions when you're triggered (and processing them in healthy ways) is a make or break for relationships
• How embodying your healthy feminine actually magnetises the healthy feminine AND masculine in your partner
• How to get out of the blaming, shaming and taming cycle
• Rather than projecting, understanding triggers are opportunities to reflect on yourself
• How to overcome the cycle of repetitively attracting the same kind of partner who is not right for you
• Why unknotting unconscious negative beliefs is essential for manifesting what (and who) you truly desire
• You've got to feel it to heal it: uncover everything that's hidden underneath and let yourself feel it all!
• How to let go of control and neither resist pain nor attach to pleasure

"Men are cheaters. Men are bastards. Men are in it for themselves. Men will take advantage of you. You can't trust men." These are just some of the narratives we have been told about men, implicitly or explicitly. For harmonious relationships (romantic, work, family or community) that support you to thrive, it's essential to get real with the part of you that's harbouring negative beliefs about men.

Hear Chantelle speak about her own journey (and struggles!) with loving men as she shares wisdom on...

• The schizophrenia of appreciating and hating men at the same time
• Why your parent's relationship and perception of men still affects you now and how to let go of conditioning 
• Why your own relationship with your inner feminine is the gamechanger for attracting a loving and mature man
• Sharing your vulnerability and emotions doesn't mean blaming and shaming, it means speaking with love and truth
• Intention is everything in healthy communication (more than the actual words we say)
• Being in the mind vs resonating with feminine energy
• Change that happens by being yourself, not by forcing an outcome
• Feminine path of embodied spirituality means expanding your ability to feel it ALL

"If I start to feel my emotions, I'm afraid that I am going to drown in them."

This is a common fear people have when they start to feel their emotions after suppressing them for a long time.  However, it's the thoughts and feelings we have ABOUT our feelings that makes us 'drown' in suffering. Chantelle shares how to flow with feelings without resistance or judgement, so you can be fully alive, authentic and let go of control.

 Chantelle shares on...

• How to surrender to pain and pleasure without judgment, guilt or shame
• Pain as information: when you can feel everything fully, you can glean the message underneath the pain and come closer to your essential nature - love and bliss.
• Letting yourself fall apart WITHOUT the fear that it will last forever. Be here, now.Your safety actually has nothing to do with what’s external. It is all about the inner centre that you hold
• You do NOT need to fix yourself, just feel everything fully without resistance
• Focus on your solutions, not your problemsLife is less about what you do, and more about the energy you bring to every moment

Pain and pleasure are part of the flow of life. It's part of this reality, part of this life. Is suffering unavoidable? Yes! Suffering is not created by pain or lack of pleasure; it is created by our resistance to pain and attachment to pleasure. When we truly allow ourselves to feel everything and open in surrender, we find universal Source energy, love, acceptance, peace, and even ecstasy. The good, the bad, the ugly: it is all meant to be felt. Therein lies our power.

How do we untangle our resistance and surrender to the flow of life? How do we open to this universal Source energy and reclaim our power?

In this episode, Tara and Aaron share powerful insights from the Living Tantra Retreat in Bali, focusing on one of its core teachings: staying present with your emotions rather than avoiding them. They guide you through practices that cultivate this essential skill.

You are invited to reflect on your own patterns of avoidance—whether it’s picking up your phone, turning to food or alcohol, or simply numbing out—and explore mindful ways to interrupt these habits.

Key takeaways from this episode:

• The Power of Presence
• Reparenting Yourself
• Releasing Stored Emotions
• Creating Space for Transformation
• Breaking Patterns
  
  

The episode emphasizes the importance of reparenting yourself by creating inner safety when facing difficult emotions. By pausing, breathing deeply, and validating what you feel without judgment, you can begin to release stored pain from your nervous system.

Quotes from the episode:
“Every trigger is a doorway into liberation… to truly free ourselves, we must feel what’s here now, without judgment or resistance.”

“Tantra isn’t just about sexuality; it’s about living fully alive in every moment, embracing the divine in all aspects of life.”

The soul knows its worth and has never forgotten it, but sometimes we need a reminder to access that unshakeable self-appreciation and confidence. In this episode, Chantelle reveals the four life quadrants that we must balance in order to deepen true self-worth: 1. Know how to be alone, 2. Practice devotion, 3. Achieve and 4. Receive support.

When we can balance these aspects of ourselves, we feel whole and find comfort and ease in the flow of life.

How you make love echoes how you live life. How you live life echoes how you make love. Finding freedom in the body and our sexuality supports us to find freedom in our life. In our voice. In our creativity. Everything! Our sexual energy sets us free.

Sacred sexuality is to be felt. Your root has fire. It burns away suffering and transmutes whatever is not love into love!

In this episode, hear Raven and Aaron talk about 

• Life force bringing joy in the bedroom AND in life.
• Undoing the social and religious conditioning about sexuality.
• Foreplay and sex are not a one-two-three method.
• What opens women sexually.
• What opens men sexually.
• Tantra is more of a feminine way of lovemaking. There is slowness. No agenda.
• Healthy sex relationships depend a healthy relaitonsihp with your OWN sexuality. Your inner union matters.

Like many things in our current day, not many spiritual paths honour the feminine and the unique energies of the female body. This is key because a woman's enlightenment is a reflection of her sexuality. Just as her Eros is opened through nurturing, bonding, connection, and love (for example, long, loving foreplay), so is her opening to spirit. Women are not only meant to meditate their way to God/dess—their nature is to travel this path with juiciness, emotional flow, and radiance too.

In this interview with Ma Ananda Sarita, a world renowned Tantric master and mystic, you will hear the keys for cultivating feminine spirituality on the path of enlightenment. Some of what Sarita covers includes...

• The power of receptivity and the womb (it can expand to be the womb of the universe!).
• Why sex needs to follow yin and yang rythms, not just yang. Tantra is all about weaving and allowing opposites to meet (that's when you meet God/dess).
• The mind blowing experience of the "Tantric circle", where the cervix and head of the lingam meet during love making and how to experience this.
• The importance of emotional release, fluidity and integration, e.g. Osho active meditation like dynamic meditation and Mystic Rose.
• Why kundalini activation can be dangerous if emotional fluidity has not been achieved.
• New perspectives on feminine power and leadership.
• Activating three positive power centres in women (second, fourth, sixth chakras) which help to access greater potential in our spiritual path, sexuality and business.

Most people relate to money unconsciously in one of two ways: 
1. With 'lack mentality', endless worry and holding onto it with white knuckles, or 
2. Without value and spending money as soon as they get it.
 
Both come down to self-worth.

Money is like any energy—when you dance and respect it, it will always support you. However, if you are wasteful or have a lack mentality about money, your thoughts become like a boulder stopping abundance moving toward you. Treat money like a goddess and her abundant energy will always sustain you... In this episode, hear Chantelle Raven share practical and proven ways to create an abundant relationship with money; the Goddess.

It's SO tempting to argue... To make the other person see your point of view, or how they were wrong and we were right!  It feels so good to make them wrong... or does it? As soon as you defend yourself or leap at an emotional charge, you give your power away. And inevitably arguments go around in in circles, drain your energy, and ultimately, you miss an opportunity to evolve your soul, drop the ego that wants to win above all else and return to love.

In this episode, find out more about leading with soul and recognising there is no genuine power in the small mind and its arguments—truth lies in the body and heart. Breathe. Feel. Let go. The pathway to God is more feeling, more realness, more love, more sex and LESS talking.

The more we are in touch with our inner opposite, the more we can anchor our polarity with a partner. For men, if the feminine is alive within, he can better anchor his presence. The more present a woman is, the stronger she will sit in her feminine power.

Cultivating the polarities is essential. If we can't relate to our own inner opposite, we can’t expect to relate to our partner (whatever their gender is).

Alignment with our inner opposite also supports our interdependency with our partners rather than codependency… When we have done our inner work and we are in our full polarity with a partner, life becomes a dance of complementary opposites, where the feminine worships the masculine, trusting in his vision, and the masculine worships the feminine by providing her safety and his full, present attention.
