Episode Summary
In our latest episode, we explore the intricate relationship between energy centers within our bodies and their interplay between the masculine and feminine aspects. We delve into the concept of the central channel, the Sashumna Nadi, and the Ida and Pingala that traverse the left and right sides of our being, respectively. This discussion illuminates how these energies, much like threads in a rope, weave together to create the strength and form of our existence. We take time to appreciate the thousands of muscles and neural pathways that define us, emphasizing the extraordinary nature of our bodies. The episode also features readings from the Radiance Sutras, a translation of the Vijñāna-Bhairava-tantra, capturing the spiritual dialogue between a goddess and her lover, which speaks to the mysteries of life and existence. These passages invite listeners to tune into the presence of life’s power and the mysterious awareness that permeates everything. The text encourages us to explore the wholeness beyond individual parts, and the interplay of form and formlessness, urging us to rest in the embrace of wisdom and truth.

Listeners are guided to take a moment to recognize their own unique existence and power, acknowledging the stories, failures, and wisdom that make up their current being. The episode reinforces the idea that each person's presence is not accidental but a unique manifestation of life’s vitality. This recognition is aimed at catalyzing self-awareness and inspiring listeners to weave love into their lives and surroundings. The session concludes with a meditation centering on the affirmation of life’s purpose and the essential nature of love. Listeners are encouraged to view their physical form not as a burden, but as a vessel for manifesting strength, power, and love. The meditation serves as a reminder that everyone has come to this life with significant intent and potential. The closing thoughts of the episode revisit the themes of power and vulnerability, discussing how confronting fear with presence and consciousness can lead us to embody our true nature. The episode underscores the importance of embodying love and authenticity in our daily lives, especially in a world where superficial conversations often overshadow genuine actions. Ultimately, the podcast invites listeners to play in the field of power and love, embracing their authentic selves and fostering a more aligned and vibrant existence for themselves and others.

Welcome to the Love Sex and Leadership podcast where you can discover simple tantric teachings to embody your true power, awaken your soul's wisdom and live an inspired life as a natural intuitive and heart centered leader. Just noticing and this body temple that you move through a single column of energy from the crown of your head down to the base of your spine. So where life force or Pund Deli, the energy or your aliveness moves and radiates to your body and you have a central channel, it's called the Sash na Nadi. You have the left side of your body located by Ida. On the right side indicated by Pingala, those are these three central channels of energy that move through your body. The one central channel a left side which can be more associated to the feminine aspects below the next. And on the left side of your brain is more the structure and form the right side of your brain is more the flow and creativity. The right side of your body is more associated to the structure and form of the masculine. So you have this weaving of energies happening already inside of you just like line or rope, weaves itself into power. A singular strand of thread in a rope isn't so strong but woven together into form. They can fold up bodies and hold out massive amounts of weight. Simply when these threads of matter are woven together in a particular way, similar as the muscle structures in your body. So just tuning in to your own inner world, your own inner body and just envisioning all of these thousands of little muscles in your body and thousands of little neural pathways that are making up this immaculate form known as you. I want to read a couple of short passages and almost poems that are coming out of the Vidian Barbara. But at the beginning, one day, the goddess sang to her lover, Ara, beloved and radiant lord of the space before birth, reveal of essence slayer of the ignorance that binds us. You who in play have created this universe and permeated all forms in it but never ending truth. I have been wondering, I have been listening to the hymns of creation enchanted by the verses. Yet still, I am curious, what is this delight filled universe into which we find ourselves born? What is this delight filled universe into which we have found ourselves born? What is this mysterious awareness shimmering everywhere within it? Just tuning into that mysterious awareness. What is this power we call life appearing as the play of flesh and breaths? How may I know this mystery and enter it more deeply. My attention is enthralled by a myriad of forms, innumerable individual entities everywhere, flashing into existence and fading away again, lead me into the wholeness beyond all these parts, lead me into the wholeness, the power center, beyond all these parts. Where does the formless meet the form and the form meet the formless. Do me a favor, my love. Let me rest in your embrace, refresh me with the elixir of your wisdom ravish me with your truth. So breathe in these words, these words like a poetry of form that have been singing verses throughout all eternity that have been playing the stance of life inside of your conscious and unconscious. This form meeting the form list, this power of life that exudes from every cell of your body. And maybe for a moment, if it feels a lie, you place a hand on this body and recognize for a moment, there is not another being on this planet exactly as you with all of the stories and all of the failures and all of the creations and all of the wisdom that you have gone through in this lifetime. Everything you have endured, everything that you have gone to has made you who you are here and now breathing in this moment, this myriad of forms playing in the power of life. There is not a mistake that you hear these words coming from the center of my soul. Into yours to remind you of who you really are. And better now to know this power that exudes from you than when you're on your deathbed wishing that you made a difference somehow in another way. So may the stance that we play into power today ground the essence of the love that you activate into this world throughout this moment and every moment forward because there is not another you and this isn't an egoic form to which you take a personification of your personality. But this is a way in which you show up into life, knowing the power that exudes from within you and helping those around you. Remember their own power and through that together we rise for breathe in that power central channel, let it go of the sound. And what let us just rest here for a moment in this pure stillness before we close this meditation. May this moment just be a reminder, but you did not come to this life just by chance. It wasn't just some slim accident that you happened to be in this form. Having this human experience. So utilize this form, not as a burden upon your shoulders, but as a way in which you get to weave love into life all around you. The same way that this line, this rope weaves strength and power to everything it holds power and the vulnerability of your soul. It's to be the love to be the change to be the essence of that which you want to see different, more aligned and vibrant on this planet. So receiving a deep breath in no, her moment gently opening the eye just to look around to see the others who also didn't just come here by chance. I came to remember to be the love inside of their own hearts, be the representation of that natural born essence of life and power that exudes from the center of their soul. What a beautiful group of humans to be surrounded with. Thank you for being here. Oh Wow. We take a journey into power today. We've looked more deeply into polarity yesterday and working with the opening of the heart and how this power and the vulnerability of power as well and sometimes have the deepest layers of our fear that are hidden underneath it. And when we confront fear, future evidence appearing real, one of the best definitions, I love of fear because it's often just something on the other side where love exists as well. But it's meeting that fear with awareness, presence and consciousness and then through meeting that fear, we get to embody more of our true authentic nature. It's not just the concept that we can articulate intellectual magazines, but something that rather we show up as each and every day of our lives, which I feel, especially in the world that we're in right now is more of what we need than anything else. There's enough people that have been talking about concepts for a long time. What I long to see is those that are embodying that essence of love from the power that exists within them. So thank you for being here to play in this game of power.
