In this episode of Love, Sex, and Freedom, Raven and Tara delve into the deeply transformative practice of embodied manifestation. They invite us to step beyond surface-level affirmations and vision boards and move into a fully embodied experience where manifestation isn’t just about thinking the right thoughts but becoming the person who already holds and lives their desires.

Raven offers a profound perspective on the connection between the nervous system and our ability to manifest. She explains that without addressing the unconscious beliefs held in the body, no amount of positive thinking will bring lasting change. Instead, she shares the power of combining thoughts with a deep somatic understanding—allowing the body to release past tensions and fully feel into the reality of what we desire. Whether it’s attracting love, financial abundance, or peace, Raven invites us to not only visualize but to embody the person who naturally attracts these experiences. 

Key takeaways from this episode:
- [02:04] The Tantric Approach to Manifestation
- [04:30] Combining Positive Affirmations with Felt Sense
- [10:15] Guided Practice for Manifestation
- [36:26] Manifesting Relationships
- [36:35] Manifesting Wealth
- [55:30] Slowing Down and Embracing Spaciousness

Quotes:
“Manifestation isn’t just about thinking the right thoughts, it’s about becoming the person who naturally attracts what you desire.”

"It wasn’t until I embraced the tantric approach and understood the role of the nervous system that I truly started manifesting the life I wanted.”

In this episode, Raven discusses the essence of devotion and the profound journey to transcend the illusion of separation. She invites us to reconnect with sacred practices that lead to a state of oneness with consciousness, reminding us true devotion is found in remembering our divine nature. Raven guides us through the subtle realms of reality, exploring practices like mantra, yantra meditation, and deity worship—not merely as routines, but as sacred pathways that lead us beyond the mind’s distractions and into the profound spaciousness of being.

We are encouraged to reflect deeply on our own spiritual practices. How can we surrender to the mystery of life without the need to control it? Can we find joy in our sadhana, not as a means to an end, but as a loving devotion to our true selves? Raven challenges us to embrace the spiritual journey, not for the sake of achievement, but for the pure love of remembering who we truly are—divine beings immersed in the bliss of unity.

In today's episode, Raven breaks down self-will, willpower, and the unconscious conditioning that shapes how we think and act. She opens up about her own journey of peeling back the layers of conditioning inherited from her parents and how she's learnt to connect with her true self.

This episode is like a roadmap for figuring out the difference between willpower and self-will, discovering your true 'why,' and making changes that really reflect who you are at your core. Raven explains that true self-will isn't about force or control—it's about aligning with your deepest truths and by understanding and working through the conditioning we've inherited, we can find a more authentic and empowered way to live.

Key takeaways from this episode:
- Understanding Unconscious Conditioning
- Willpower vs. Self-Will
- Connecting to Your 'Why'
- Personal Growth and Change
- Navigating Relationships and Self-Expression
- Daily Practices for Self-Discovery

Quotes from Episode:
"Any change that's not making you more of who you are is not a change that you want to make."

"Whatever you see, whatever you can believe can actualize. People have done way more miraculous things than expand into a space of 'I can live a really relaxed life and prioritize myself'."

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?

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.

What comes to mind when you think of "power"? Maybe status and money. In today's episode, Raven redefines true power, showing how it goes beyond the desire for control and is actually rooted in genuine vulnerability and emotional authenticity.

Raven explores how power is often misunderstood as being synonymous with status and control, which can lead to shadow behaviors like aggression. Instead, true power comes from the ability to be genuinely and authentically present with our emotions. This involves practicing deep listening, holding space for oneself and others, and peeling away superficial layers to reveal deeper truths. By understanding and working through the different layers of the emotional body, we can find a more authentic and powerful way of living. 

Key takeaways from this episode:
- [02:15] The Role of Vulnerability in Power
- [03:18] Holding Space and Deep Listening
- [07:12] Rewiring Your Association with Power
- [10:58] The Importance of Self-Responsibility
- [16:35] Embracing Discomfort for True Growth
- [24:09] Living Authentically and Facing Fear
- [31:41] Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Quotes from Episode:

"Power without vulnerability really goes into shadow and often turns into aggression and power over.

"Imagine what your life would look like if your expression was focused on truth and trusting truth, rather than on how others are going to react."

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...

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.

How much pleasure do you allow in your life? This may seem like a simple question, but for most people who are stuck in the everyday grind, taking the time to be fully present and actually experience joy in their lives can be a foreign concept.

Experiencing joy is essential to the human experience, and our happiness and well-being are dependent on it. So why do we often prioritize completing tasks, working, and keeping ourselves busy instead of focusing on pleasure? In today's episode, Raven shares how we can invite more pleasure into our lives, both inside and outside the bedroom, and how this can transform not only the way we navigate the world but also serve as a means to regulate the nervous system.

Simple acts like laughter, connecting with nature, or engaging in physical activities can dissolve stress and bring us a sense of fulfilment and peace. 

Key takeaways from this episode:
- [01:20] Exploring Pleasure Tolerance
- [02:54] Pleasure Beyond the Bedroom
- [04:14] The Importance of Foreplay and Connection
- [06:13] Prioritizing Pleasure in Life
- [10:22] Balancing Pain and Pleasure
- [15:25] Techniques for Enhanced Lovemaking
- [26:54] Expanding the Definition of Lovemaking

Quotes from Episode:

“No matter what kind of day I had, as soon as I would reconnect with Dusty, my horse, and go for a ride in nature, everything would just disappear.”

"Pleasure is the best nervous system regulator."

When you hold stress in your body, it creates blockages to your ease in this present moment. Held stress affects everything from your peace to orgasm; your creative potential to joy in relationships. The human body was designed to release stress, not hold onto it!

Hear Raven and Aaron take you through the "7 Emotional Release Tools" and Kundalini Movement*, a slower and more nurturing somatic release practice for stress release. They also discuss commonly forgotten keys to reducing stress in the first place so it doesn’t become ‘stuck’ in your nervous system.

In this episode, discover how to...

• Identify stress responses (flight, fright, fight, freeze, fall, feign, tend and befriend) and disarm them in your life and relationships (including understanding the role of parasympathetic and sympathetic states)
• Catch your stress responses early before they escalate or prevent them entirely
• Overcome the addiction to stress and maintain a 'rest and digest' state in daily life
• Reparent yourself through understanding the key developmental needs of the evolving soul in incarnation
• Reprogramme cells from stress into harmony
• Consciously boost oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin (and avoid the false boosters/depleters)

*To read more about the Emotional Release Tools and Kundalini Movement, search the Eliyah Tantra School blog, www.eliyah.com.au/blog.

How safe do you feel in life, love, and relationships?  Are you running a constant fight/flight response within your nervous system? The cultivation of our own safety and balancing the root chakra starts within; we can learn to create safety for ourselves, starting with three foundational elements:

1) A deep understanding of the nervous system, including how to bring yourself from being in the sympathetic nervous system response (fight/flight) to the parasympathetic response (rest & digest)

2) Understanding and asserting healthy boundaries when you need to create safety for yourself.   This includes a deeper awareness of your self-worth and understanding how the emotional body can signal what your boundaries lie

3) Inner Union of masculine and feminine.

In this episode, we start with exploring the union of the masculine and feminine:

• Learn why we become chaotic or burnt out and how to bring ourselves into balance and ease
• Discover how when we polarize too much into any extreme, we display unhealthy traits of the masculine and feminine
• Understand how the masculine and feminine work together for intuitive wisdom and actioning our vision
• Understanding our shadows and the nature of co-dependence
• Learn how to shift the unhealthy patterns of your shadow into empowerment

Ask yourself, “How much do I depend on my external world vs my internal world for security and safety?”

COVID-19 is a mirror that's revealing a lot. It's showing us who we are, what we’re afraid of, our ability to trust and surrender (or not), what matters to us, our determination or our tendency to fall into avoidance behaviour, our clarity or haziness on the Grand Organised Design, what our worth is centered on, and how we want to show up in the world… The coronavirus event has given us the opportunity to dive deeper into what is real for us and our truth.

This is big opportunity! Personally and collectively.

Guest host Caitlyn Cook talks with Chantelle Raven about COVID-19 as a catalyst of great spiritual, emotional and inner-world awakening.

Hear gems to support you using this time for your fullest release and activation:

• Overcoming resistance to pain and attachment to what we want
• Centering on the spiritual practice of ‘Can I be in this moment?’ rather than hanging on to the past of ‘what was’ or fear of the future of ‘what will be’
•  Dealing with fear and the art of surrender
• Resetting and staying aligned to what’s meaningful to you
• Understanding all challenging situations are catalysts for our shedding what doesn’t serve us, awakenings, healing and magic
• The paradox of ‘lock down’ and unlocking your true self; being together and alone
• Letting go of ‘productivity pressure’ to allow rest and inspiration to flow
•  Using this time to inspire, grow, heal yourself

In this episode, Chantelle Raven offers practical support and tools for this crazy time. Tantra is about choosing to be in the aliveness of this moment. For many, there is a lot of anxiety and fear at the moment... We don't have to stay stuck in it. If we do, we create inner havoc that doesn't need to be there to the extent many are now experiencing. It's not about denying chaos, but remembering that you're the creator of what you're experiencing.

Listen to receive practical guidance on...

• Shifting focus from the external to the internal
• Balancing your research and talking about COVID with inner meditation time
• Choosing language that empowers you
• Letting emotion in your body flow: breathe, move and sound
• Observing obsessive thoughts and remembering that you're the creator of what you're experiencing
• Tuning into what feels meaningful and inspiring for you NOW

What's the biggest obstacle to manifesting your soul purpose? Here it is: if you don’t listen to and action your inner guidance… It’s all about the inner marriage of the masculine and feminine in your business.

If you act without internal guidance, you end up burning out. If you have internal guidance, but no action, you float like a feather in the wind. So, how do we cultivate this inner marriage in our projects to manifest our soul's desire? How do we apply this, practically? With lots of examples from Chantelle's life, find out in today's episode.

How do we live and love life to the fullest?  And how do we do it NOW?  It involves getting out of your own way, to stop listening to the self-limiting beliefs, the constant mind-chatter and get out of your own way! 

It involves emptying out and getting in touch with the deeper parts of ourselves that are beneath the mind's constant opinions.  What does our heart say? What does our body say?  What is the universe showing me through signs and where is my life wanting to flow?

The mind is a powerful tool that we can utilise to analyse situations and actualise what we desire in this life, however, when we listen ONLY to the mind, we can be paralysed by the chatter of 'what if...?', 'should I...?' or 'what about...?'  which, ultimately is anchored in the past or the future.  When we can PAUSE and drop out of our mind and into the body, we can become aware to the love and the flow of life available to us RIGHT NOW!

To be in your true power is to live authentically as yourself in every moment – shedding the masks, facing your fears and freeing yourself from past conditioning.

How is this achieved?

Through discovering and loving your shadows – the parts of yourself you beat-up on, suppress, avoid and judge – that remain lurking in your unconscious and cause continual suffering in life. 

Working with unconscious shadows is essential to any person who takes their spiritual journey seriously and who wishes to become the conscious creator and authority of their own life.

In this episode, discover The Four Portals Into Shadow Work to Ignite Your Power:

1. Reflect on your childhood and ask yourself, what were you praised for as a child? What were you criticized for as a child?
   Reclaim these parts of yourself! Give yourself full permission to release yourself from limiting beliefs.
2. Embodied self-enquiry: dive into the depths of your unconscious and mine what’s under the trigger. Let yourself discover what’s at the root.
3. Conscious relationships: those around you are your mirror. Listen to the repeated reflections you receive. Perhaps they’re right!
4. Inner union dialogue. Your inner feminine will tell your masculine and vice versa. What’s unconscious to one part of yourself won’t be to another.

And find out the important difference between

• Projections vs observation on your spiritual growth journey
• Dark, shadow and evil
• Charge and emotion

Chantelle Raven explores the collective shadow that we all embody to some degree (until we become conscious of it!). We discuss the Victim, Addict, Self-Sabotage, and the Know It All. These energies come to impact and run our lives in destructive ways until we become lovingly conscious of them — think of Dr Jeckel and Mr Hyde: what we try to repress comes out.

To become powerful is to know thyself. To have genuine peace and harmonious relationships is to open to ALL of ourselves. This is how these energies become our allies.

In this episode, we discover:

• What is a collective shadow vs personal shadow?
• Consequences of repressing the energies
• Hard and soft trauma and how these affect you
• The wounded child archetype and how to heal yourself rather than searching for it out there
• How allow your nervous system to be comfortable with the uncomfortable (how to stay full present, totally alive and totally out of control)
• Feeding the demons: giving you shadow what it really needs
• How to become self-responsible
• How to develop the inner family: a father and mother energy within
• Embodying the divine child who is playful, trusting, and joyful

True power is self-awareness—the ability to take responsibility for our lives. As long as we make other people or circumstances around us responsible for how we feel and act, we will give our power away. Own whatever you’re feeling, whether it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Make these energies conscious so that we’re not showing one face and have something else leaking out beneath the surface.

This episode explores how to take responsibility, claim back power, and own all aspects of yourself. You’ll discover how to allow feelings to ripple through you, drop judgment and stories, and step into true power: consciousness and love.

The shadow consists of everything that we repress as a result of our conditioning, what we’re told is ‘not okay’. What was encouraged in the child is over-exaggerated in adulthood. Whatever is discouraged is pushed into the shadow. The unconscious shadow can do damage in all sorts of ways in relationship, career, self-worth, and mental health. What was encouraged in your childhood? What was off limits? Can you notice where this impacts you in your current life? This episode explores how to lovingly hunt your shadow and transform it into power, love, and acceptance.

Today's episode is the latest in the series of Raven and Tara's Instagram Lives, and the topic of conversation is the often misunderstood and judged emotion of anger. The key takeaway from this episode is Raven's simple but powerful message: "anger can feel good." This idea encourages us to shift our perspective on anger. Rather than viewing it as purely negative and destructive, we are shown how anger, when expressed in healthy ways, can be harnessed as an empowering life force.

Raven explains how recognizing the first signs of anger can prevent it from escalating into something harmful and when it’s allowed to move through the body, this powerful emotion can transform us from feeling victimized to feeling empowered. 

Raven and Tara share various healthy ways to connect with and release anger. From breathing exercises to physical movements like pillow beating, these techniques help us integrate anger into our lives and stay connected to our primal energy. 

Key takeaways from this episode:
- [02:34] - The Power of Feeling and Expressing Anger
- [08:03] - Practical Exercises to Integrate Anger
- [11:38] - The Importance of Setting Boundaries
- [20:23] - Connecting Anger to Past Experiences
- [25: 10] - A Daily Anger Practice

Quotes from Episode:
“Anger is the energy that creates the most harm of all of the emotions because it can turn to violence. And yet it's also the energy that can bring the most life force and vitality.”

“The biggest gift that owning my anger gave me is boundaries. Just feeling that primal energy and realizing there's a little girl here that I need to protect."

In Tantra, finding your purpose in the world is about finding what turns you on. What’s your passion? Live your truth so there’s no separation between who you are and how you work. We’re told that to feel safe, we need the usual things like a 9-5 job. What would it be like to have so much faith in Spirit and our Human Spirit so that you can do what you love and earn money doing it? In this episode, find what is your authentic expression in the world when you empty out and allow Love to flow through you. Learn about the balance between masculine (focus and action) and feminine (sensuality and flow) in the work you do. Gather courage to take the jump and live—and work!—as who you really are in this world. It’s time.

When you forget who you are, bring your attention to your heart and remember. You are Love. The mind forgets this and creates separation; it can make you feel fearful, small, isolated. But it’s not who you are! You are Love and that love is always here. In this Love, you can rest, feel your power, your connection to everything. Nothing is to be feared. Let go and let this part of you wake up as you receive this transmission from Chantelle.

We can’t have power without a foundation.  It’s like having a tree without roots.  What would happen if a thunderstorm hit a tree with no roots?  It would topple over.  We need the stillness and strength of roots (inner masculine) to support the blossoming and fruiting of our gifts (inner feminine), which is our true power.  To strengthen our roots and obtain our gifts of power, we need to develop our own inner union, rather than depending on our outer union or circumstances to complete us.  

In this episode, discover:

—Letting go who you think you ‘should’ be and discovering your Self
—Elements for deepening your roots to hold more power 
—How to claim back power in relationships by returning missing pieces of yourself
—The difference between ‘falling in love’ and ‘rising in love’
—How relationships are a mirror to see ourselves
—How to avoid unconscious wounds playing out your relationships

Reclaim your erotic innocence! Come back to being like a child with curiosity, non-judgment, and playfulness. Most of us never learnt how to self-pleasure with joy, pride, and presence. Now is the time to recapitulate your first sexual experience by consciously self-pleasuring. Remember the innocence of your sensual body, discover new ways of touching beyond usual, staid habits, and learn how embodied erotic meditation can be an avenue to meet your power, self-love and God.

Ever wondered how to open a man's heart?  How to feel his unwavering presence and commitment to the relationship? Through allowing the space for a man to cultivate his OWN FEMININE, his heart will open to a new depth of relating with himself and his beloved.  

When a beloved can hold presence for her man, it creates the spaciousness for him to relax, receive and feel his own feminine aliveness. He can allow feminine expression to run through his body through breath, touch and sound.  He can just breathe, 'ahhhhh', relax into it, exhale into it, and feel safe to just be.  

He can allow his heart to soften, open, receive and expand.

When men ask us how to turn a woman on, keep her happy, open her sexually, help her to surrender, I always suggest the same thing - hold her.

How do I do that? He asks.

First, learn to hold yourself. If you can’t hold yourself, you will not have the energy to hold her. Be conscious of your own emotional body and your own needs. Consciously create a certain level of aliveness, freedom and joy in your own being. 

By being conscious of creating a life that feels joyful, safe and alive for you, you will make it a lot easier to consciously hold a woman with your LOVING, EROTIC PRESENCE.

When your field meets hers in an energetic and/physical embrace, she will naturally surrender and generate more energy in her body. This embrace, in and out of the bedroom, makes a woman feel like she matters, feels loved and safe, leading to deeper, more authentic opening.

Relationships are our biggest teachers, but if we cannot realise that our partners have something to teach us about our own relationship with ourselves, then we tend to fall into an unhealthy pattern of co-dependency.   As our core wounds get dumped on each other, we experience unnecessary suffering with an endless love/hate cycle and push/pull dynamics.  Such conflict and drama is NOT NECESSARY.  There is another way of relating that comes from secure attachment where healthy communication, self-responsibility and a commitment to love, creates an opportunity for expansion, growth and deepening of intimacy in the relationship.

In this episode, discover:

—The difference between a love-addict and a love-avoider

—How to use communication as a tool to expand in love, rather than to create separation

—How to identify where your core wounds are manifesting outer conflict through projection and/or deflection

—How to take full responsibility for your experience and ask for what you need int he relationship

—How to move from co-dependency to secure attachment

Most people try to find safety and love in relationships through attempting to control and change their external circumstances. What this means is that whenever their sense of love and safety is threatened, they go into fight or flight mode and try to change their partner’s actions, words, beliefs or ANYTHING they can to avoid their situation.  This is a dynamic for struggle and disconnection.

What we want to shift is to bring awareness that everything external to ourselves is a reflection of our internal world; your relationship to yourself.  The key to building a relationship with yourself is coming into harmony with your inner Masculine and Feminine.  How do you treat yourself?  Do you allow yourself to express?  Do you hold yourself, no matter what you’re feeling?  What do you put up with?

In this episode, discover

—3 keys to overcoming relationship troubles

—Self-empowerment beyond craving external validation

—What are the masculine and feminine in their healthy and less healthy expressions?

—Ways to bring more vitality and health to your inner relationship

—Practical ways to build intuition and be more  receptive (inner feminine pole)

—Practical ways to connect with deep presence and awareness (inner masculine pole)

Welcome back to another episode of the Love, Sex, and Freedom podcast. Today's episode features a recent conversation that Raven and Tara had on Instagram Live, where they discuss the hugely important and often overlooked art of clear communication. Mastering this skill and being able to say how we feel and what we want (and don't want) can have a huge impact on our lives, and nowhere is this more apparent than in romantic relationships. Raven's own journey from feeling stifled and blocked in previous relationships to today, where she is able to express her needs without fear, is evidence of how clear communication can unlock the confident woman within.

Raven shares the three key practices that have supported her in communicating confidently: feeling the depths of her emotions before speaking, steering conversations towards what she wants rather than what she doesn’t, and trusting the body’s signals over the mind’s analysis.

Tara and Raven also discuss the powerful role that breathwork can play in grounding us and how this can enable healthier communication. So if you're looking for ways to have more mindful communication and a deeper understanding of yourself and others, this episode is for you.

Key takeaways from this episode:
- [09:48] Exploring Nonverbal Communication and Its Impact
- [14:16] Embracing Vulnerability for Deeper Connection
- [18:49] The Paradigm Shift: Embodying Authentic Expression
- [23:51] Practical Steps Towards Embodied Communication
- [30:33] Navigating Emotional Dynamics in Relationships
- [37:35] Exploring Sexual Communication and Desires
- [42:11] Understanding and Communicating Personal Needs
- [43:47] The Impact of Communication on Personal Growth and Relationships

Quotes from Episode:

“Vulnerability requires letting go of pride and risking rejection. It's not easy, but shamelessly owning what we're upset about, desiring, or needing creates safety for ourselves and fosters compatible relationships”

“You're only as needy as your unmet needs.”

Pain and pleasure are in the flow of life. Pain doesn’t equal suffering nor does pleasure equal suffering; it’s the avoidance of pain or the attachment to pleasure that ultimately causes suffering... So what if we could learn to be in flow with our pain and pleasure, where, rather than grasping for pleasure or pushing pain away, we can embrace it fully, and learn what it has to teach us? 

In this episode, discover:

—The unconscious habit of resistance and attachment and how to spot it in your life

—How pain is useful information; what is it telling you?

—How to stop struggling by unblocking the emotional body 

—The power and importance of just letting yourself FEEL (like you did as a child)

—How to find power, passion, compassion, unity, LIFE through neither resisting nor attaching

—Meditation as an embodied practice, not just a mental exercise

—How to allow the nervous system to relax in pleasure and pain (find joy in the body is possible, no matter what’s happening!)

Hey everyone, welcome to this episode of the Love, Sex, and Freedom podcast! Today, we’re going to talk about some of the challenges we face when we have stuck energy and how hard and soft trauma impacts our nervous system.

But don't worry, we'll explore how masculine and feminine principles can coexist beautifully, and can empower us to live a life filled with bliss instead of constant struggle. 

Raven will share some personal stories and experiences, along with guided meditations, to help you discover what a bliss-filled life looks like for you. We’ll discuss practices that support emotional release and help cultivate a non-judgmental presence.

Quotes from Episode:
“When you have that safety within yourself, you won't tolerate someone treating you like shit anymore because you're not treating yourself like shit. You won't tolerate someone abandoning you because you're no longer abandoning yourself. You won't tolerate someone not listening or respecting you because you're listening and respecting yourself.” 

“Life wasn't meant to be a struggle. We are wired for bliss. You are fundamentally worthy of a life that's fucking amazing and when those struggles come, when you're living in alignment, they're just there to show you where even more expansion is possible.”

Raven, joined by her daughter Sydelle, unveils her soulful parenting style that celebrates authenticity, vulnerability, and a profound spiritual connection. She emphasizes treating children as equals and imparting life skills through gentle modeling, allowing the wisdom to unfold naturally rather than through direct instruction.

The conversation also covers healthy emotional expression, the importance of boundaries, and the influence of parental relationships on children’s views of love.

The episode concludes with a Q&A session on managing emotions around children, supporting partners with generational trauma, and addressing toxic maternal relationships. Join us to learn how deep spiritual teachings can be integrated into parenting practices.
