Description

In this episode of The Open Bedroom Podcast, I welcome Candia Raquel, a Mexican sensualist, scientist, and artist, to discuss how pleasure can be a powerful antidote to anxiety.


We explore the difference between sensuality and sexuality, the impact of societal conditioning on our relationship with pleasure, and practical somatic tools—like mindful rituals, breathwork, and embracing bodily signals—to help us reconnect with our bodies and the present moment.


Candia shares accessible strategies for busy listeners to cultivate daily pleasure, offering a compassionate approach to overcoming anxiety and fostering greater fulfillment.
