Love, Sex & Freedom Podcast

The smiling face. The right answer. Doing the approved thing. The mask of ‘perfect’. Offending no-one…And totally tight and disconnected.What if you could just rest in being… yourself?What if you could let go of the expectations and just say it like it is? Do it like you really want to? Express it in your truth?And remember, the bad girl, it comes out anyway, but in the shadow! The good girl is a time bomb that’s about to go off. In this episode, Chantelle explores what is the good girl and bad girl and how the empowered woman shows up through it all.This was recorded at Chantelle’s in-person Ignite Your Power retreat.

Your partner is one of two things:They’re either reflecting what you are now OR reflecting your missing pieces.Either way, they’re a mirror — showing you aspects of yourself that you might not ordinarily see.Relationships have a wonderful way of making conscious the things that are unconscious in us…In this episode, Chantelle Raven shares about her personal experiences in relationships and her journey with — and struggles to find — inner union.Some of the pieces she explores includes…- What’s really going on when our partner doesn’t show up with qualities or behavior we want- Laws of romantic chemistry and how to keep fire alive (or know when it’s time to leave)- How entering a relation as a fragmented person makes codependency inevitable (and how to avoid that)- Understanding the relationship between codependency, resentment and chemistry- Why your primary relationship is *your* inner masculine and *your* inner feminine- How to cultivate your “inner opposite” (for men, your inner feminine; for women, your inner masculine)- A guided practice and keys for cultivating inner union between your masculine and feminine.This episode was recorded at Chantelle’s in-person Sacred Sexuality retreat.

Tantra says yes to everything. Everything is welcome here.  It’s okay to feel numb. It’s okay to feel grief. It’s okay to feel fear. It’s okay to feel helpless. When we can finally stop trying to be anywhere other than where we are, in any given moment, then ironically that is when change happens. In this podcast, recorded at the Perth Living Tantra Retreat in 2022, Chantelle Raven speaks into the power of being exactly where you are in life RIGHT NOW, and how to work with your direct experience and sensation in every given moment as a pathway to greater remembering, transformation and wholeness. For more resources exploring content like this, check out Embodied Awakening online courses or our retreats at www.embodiedawakeningacademy.com

Invoke the strength, courage and protection of the Warrior energy into your life. Learn to call in the Warrior when you need support to speak your truth, have a difficult conversation, set a boundary, face a fear, or to get focused and determined. The Warrior is with you always to show up in the world as unapologetically you!Note: All of these meditations are applicable for both Men and Women. Tantra recognises that the path to Inner Union and wholeness includes cultivating both the Masculine and Feminine qualities that reside in all of us. So try them both for each archetype!Archetypes are the underlying forces in the human experience, which all of us tap into in our most primal human moments. They are parts of us we are not aware of – so they are influencing us without us knowing it. They influence everything we do, think and feel, and they are influencing everyone around us in a similar way. With that in mind, making these energies conscious allows us to use their qualities to our benefit, rather than letting their ‘shadow expressions’ influence our lives unconsciously. So, like all shadow work, working with archetypes is for the purpose of making what’s unconscious, conscious. Through embodiment practices you can get to know the archetypes and their qualities that are expressing themselves through you and others, and create a truely magical life for yourself with their gifts.
