Description
Are you curious about Tantra? Maybe you have tried it a few times but are not sure how to make it a conscious practice to bring more happiness, pleasure, and peace into your life. Or maybe you've heard some Tantric stories about how Sting can last for hours - and wonder if you could too. Or you might feel that your sex and love life could and should be better, or even Sacred...
This open, honest, explicit, heartfelt, and fun podcast by Anne Bland is for you if you are ready to explore your sensuality, sexuality, and spirituality through Tantra and Tantric Sex. Ancient Tantra teaches that there is a direct link between your sexual energy and your creativity and spirituality. So, are you willing to unleash your full potential through self-awareness, self-mastery, and self-expression and live the life you truly want?
If yes, then join Tantric Sex and Relationship Coach, public speaker, and podcaster Anne Bland, the founder of “Selfishly Happy Revolution,” as she openly and whole-heartedly discusses her own Tantric Journey, shares real-life Tantric stories, and invites others to join her on the podcast. This could include you too! The "Asking for a Friend" episode is an opportunity to get free Tantric Sex or Relationship Coaching from Anne Bland - or you could truly 'ask for a friend.' You can also participate in the show by sending a voice message.
This podcast is part of Anne Bland's Selfishly Happy Revolution, the next sexual revolution that doesn't start from barricades or burning your bras, but from within. Putting that figurative oxygen mask on yourself first before helping others gives you more energy, love, and creativity to share with others. And that oxygen mask is ‘Pleasure’! Pleasure is your birthright, and you deserve and are worthy of feeling good about yourself and your life so that you have the energy to show up in the world the way you want. And most of all, to create the life you want!
Selfishly Happy Revolution is all about creating a movement, a community that celebrates pleasure and is pleasure-positive, demystifying sex and sexuality, and creating happy relationships not just with your partner but also with yourself, your communities, and the world at large. As Anne Bland says: “Happy and pleasure-positive people just don’t start wars.”
"Tantra doesn't judge or exclude anything but it transforms everything" (Osho). Tantra is like inner technology that can be harnessed for your benefit be it healing, personal or spiritual growth, or amazingly juicy, delicious, and succulent life. Tantra is like having pleasure and self-love on tap!
Finally, if you want to learn some Tantric Tips and Pleasurable Treats called Seven Holistic Sex Tools, this show is definitely for you. Anne shares how you can use these ancient Tantric Tools - Intentions, Presence, Focus, Breath, Movement, Sound, and Energy – for self-healing and self-pleasure but also with your partner or lover. They will help you to reclaim your own pleasure to become authentically your True Self and create a World that you want to live in and leave behind for future generations.
Selfishly Happy Tantric Revolution is ALL ABOUT YOU! If you don't feel good about yourself, don't love yourself, don't have any energy, and are at risk of burning out - how can you be there for others? How could you be the leader in the world that you want to be? Or be the world co-creator that you truly are?
Tantra teaches that all is one. It means that once you start healing, growing and becoming the person you truly are, the world around you changes too: what is inside you is also outside you. Pleasure and sexual energy are not well understood in the West and often associated with something shady, dirty, sinful or secretive. Tantra celebrates sex and sexual energy being normal and natural parts of you and the very energy for creation and spiritual enlightenment. It is where humanity meets spirituality. By mastering Tantric tools you can use your body-mind, your "inner technology," to get in touch with your Higher Self, Universe, God/Goddess, Cosmos - or whatever you call the Essence that is bigger than you but still part of you. It's like EVOKING something latent. At the same time, you'll be raising the consciousness of the whole of humanity on Earth which is the key to the survival and thriving of human beings as a race. So by changing yourself, you'll change the world for the better! Enjoy the Tantric journey! What is a better and more fun way to grow and develop yourself than sex and sexual energy? So let's Evoke Tantra and let's Evoke YOU.

PART 1. There is an interesting phenomena that Anne Bland has noticed recently in such an extend that she felt it required, not just one, but two part episode. In the dating world that encourages one-night stands, Tantric circles, ethical non-monogamous, and polyamory situations, Anne has learned that women can feel broken. In this 2-part episode, she discusses how the pressures of "being empowered in sex and sexuality" - which in so many words means casual sex - can lead women to feel disconnected and guilty, and many have used the phrase: "Am I somehow broken...?"The female biochemistry, especially the "happy hormones" kick in after sex more than in male bodies and can make women less ablet o detach emotionally. Anne also discusses how Tantra explains this through Yin and Yang, the opposite energy poles, in male and female bodies and how it can cause women to feel these unnecessary negative emotions.If you feel like this or have any questions please contact Anne below.Book a free 30-minute Zoom call to explore coaching: https://link.tekmatix.com/widget/bookings/desire-call-with-anneDownload a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthrightJoin the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-questPodcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcastEmail: annebland(at)selfishlyhappyyou.comSend a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy
We haven't been taught about relationships and how to become happy in couplehood. There isn't an MBA for Relationships - and there really should be. Sometimes it is just about learning the tools and having a roadmap to co-create a beautiful, loving, healing, and sexy relationship. Anne Bland shares her experience from her Tantric retreat for couples and celebrates the conscious coupling where partners can grow and heal far better than when alone, proving that both parties are willing to do the work. Relationships are big trigger points that bring light to the shadow parts that were established due to childhood unmet needs. Becoming self-aware of these and having support is the first step in having great relationships. Safety is paramount in any relationship and if you do not feel safe at all levels, please reach out for help and make sure you are safe.

When desire is unmet what happens to the relationship? Does it end or is it doomed for a lifelong disconnection? Anne Bland shares two stories, one from a woman who is ready to divorce for lack of coital orgasms, and one from a man who is fed up with just pleasuring his wife. Both are ready to leave as their sexual desires are not met. Sometimes separation is the best and the success in relationships cannot be measured by its longevity. But sometimes, they can be turned around. Anne invites couples to reconnect and find intimacy through Tantric practices and conscious communication.To book and learn more about the Couples Tantric Session online with Anne, please email annebland@selfishlyhappyyou.com.

1How to become a masterful Tantric lover? What are the best Tantric techniques for a man? In this episode, Anne Bland follows on the discussion of differences between the opposite energy poles of male and female bodies and how a man can become a better lover. Are there specific, sacred Tantric techniques or is it more about getting to know yourself as a man as one of Anne's ex-clients claim and unlearning all you've known sex to be?Book a free 30-minute Zoom call to explore coaching: https://link.tekmatix.com/widget/bookings/desire-call-with-anneDownload a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthrightJoin the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-questPodcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcastEmail: annebland(at)selfishlyhappyyou.comSend a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy
In this episode, Anne Bland suggests a different, more "yin way", for men to experience pleasure based on receiving and surrendering. She discusses the different energy poles of the male and female genitalia and hearts and how they have impacted the way conventional sex is portrayed and understood in society. A man's genitalia being yang, it can be challenging for men to be a receiver of pleasure and because of the cultural conditioning it is easy to confuse the energies with the gender roles. Despite these issues, Anne claims that the way to a man's heart is, not through his stomach, but through his penis. This is based on the Taoist understanding of the different energy poles of the body. Finally, Anne suggests that a soft penetration can be extremely liberating and one of the most exquisite and loving experiences of pleasure because it balances the polar opposite genital energies.Book a free 30-minute Zoom call to explore coaching: https://link.tekmatix.com/widget/bookings/desire-call-with-anneDownload a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthrightJoin the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-questPodcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcastEmail: annebland(at)selfishlyhappyyou.comSend a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy
The last two episodes have been about trauma - so today it's all about pleasure, and more specifically, how to bring the Sex Goddess out of a woman. Anne Bland shares in this episode how the Taoist tradition understands genitalia from an energetic point of view: the female genitalia is more Yin and the male genitalia more Yang and what that means during turn-on, arousal and penetration.Book a free 30-minute Zoom call to explore coaching: https://link.tekmatix.com/widget/bookings/desire-call-with-anneDownload a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthrightJoin the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-questPodcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcastEmail: annebland(at)selfishlyhappyyou.comSend a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy
(NB. Trigger warning about childhood sexual trauma and child marriage)
This is a coaching-style episode that starts with Anne Bland and her guest, Francy, catching up with Francy's sexual healing journey over the last six months when they first met on the "Life With Francy" podcast. For the first time, on that episode, Francy shared publically about her childhood sexual trauma by her biological father and her child marriage when she was only 14. Having been culturally conditioned that pleasure is only for a man and it's a woman's duty to serve their needs, Francy has come a long way and now talks about mental health and her polyamory on her podcast, providing hope and a roadmap that things can be different. At the end of the episode, Anne guides Francy through a process of re-wiring her nervous system into calmness when it comes to pleasure in the midst of two conflicting cultures: those of Puerto Rico and the USA. If you feel triggered by this story please reach out for help. You can also email Anne to see if you want to come on the Asking for a Friend episode or to explore private coaching. Please note that if you have an active trauma, Anne is not a medical professional or a trauma coach and you are encouraged to seek professional trauma help.

(NB. Trigger warning of childhood sexual abuse)
The listeners have been asking for Anne Bland's personal story about why she started Tantric Sex for Lovers and Others podcast and Tantric Sex Coaching. In this episode, Anne is finally ready to get vulnerable and talk about her personal healing story which has been traumatic and painful but also full of love and light, pleasure and connection. This journey has made Anne who she is today and the way she can hold space for her coaching clients in a safe and strong way. As Anne says: "Healing is hard work and that's why we need a Pleasure Path to go with it!" Selfishly Happy Revolution is about becoming more of you, not less. It also means feeling all the feelings, even if they are painful, to release trauma from the body and to bring "all of you" into integration and alignment. As a trauma-informed coach, Anne emphasises the good news: " Because trauma lives in the body at the nervous system level, it can always be re-wired through pleasure into healing. Humans are designed to be resilient - we just need to know how to do it."

In this episode, Anne Bland is joined by Franziska Amoris to discuss whether size matters in sex. They cover the topic from both the penis and vagina/vulva points of view. Does size matter in sexual intercourse or anal play? What is the impact of the uniform image of "the porn pussy" on women's self-confidence?
They are inviting more acceptance of diversity and connection to one's own genitalia - whatever it looks like.
Franziska referred to episode 04: How To Make My Partner Want Sex with Me? when she discussed different ways people have turn-ons and how they are sexually aroused.Book a free 30-minute Zoom call to explore coaching: https://link.tekmatix.com/widget/bookings/desire-call-with-anneDownload a FREE Pleasure Guide "Pleasure is Your Birthright - 7 Holistic Sex Tools": https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-is-your-birthrightJoin the waiting list for the Pleasure Quest: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/pleasure-questPodcast website: https://www.selfishlyhappyyou.com/podcastEmail: annebland(at)selfishlyhappyyou.comSend a voice message: https://www.speakpipe.com/SelfishlyHappy
How do you self-pleasure? How do you masturbate? Is Tantric self-pleasure different from the "normal" one? Anne Bland shares her ideas for Tantric self-pleasure in this episode - whether you want to do it on a mountaintop or on a train! Many mistakenly think that Tantric self-pleasure is to go slow and have incense and candles, but it can also be a Tantric quickie. The difference is mindfulness and going intentionally without any guilt or shame. Tantra can also be about the flow between the yang type of arousal where there's a lot of excitement and the yin type of relaxing into pleasure.

"What is your secret pleasure?" Anne Bland asked on her Instagram @selfishlyhappywithannebland story - and people answered: massage, knitting, binge-watching, body-to-body contact, slow foreplay, observing a woman's body, and breast massage amongst others! Based on Anne's philosophy of Selfishly Happy Revolution, there's no guilt in pleasure that doesn't harm anyone else. In fact, it should be celebrated! There is science behind pleasure. Happy hormones such as endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin get released and your parasympathetic nervous system relaxes into bliss and ecstasy when you go fully into something pleasurable.
