Exploring Sexual Wellness, Tantra, & Erotic Empowerment - with Layla Martin | EP 7

In this episode of Healing & Human Potential, we are joined by Layla Martin to explore the topic of tantra, sacred sexuality, and erotic empowerment.  In our society, the topic of sex is often taboo, and for this very reason,  people remain disempowered in their sex lives. Layla unpacks where this stigma comes from and what we can do to release it. Sexual wellness plays a vital role in our overall well-being, but not enough of us are addressing it consciously.  It goes beyond just seeking pleasure; it involves nurturing healthy relationships, accepting ourselves, and having open communication. Each individual's path to sexual wellness is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution.  Layla also shares the practical tools that helped her reclaim her sexuality, including pleasure practices, cervical orgasms, and much more.    ===   EPISODE TIMESTAMPS:  0:00 Intro 2:34 Understanding the Origins of Sexual Stigma 9:24 Defining Tantric Sex  13:17 Using Pleasure Practice to Heal Sexual Shame 18:55 What’s Hidden Behind Fantasy 24:05 Pelvic Floor Work  25:35 Fear and Witch Shaming 33:13 Men Are Hurting Too  34:02 Why We Blame Ourselves When Things Go Wrong 39:50 Rewriting the Story of Objectification 44:26 Merging Practice & Presence 46:59 Technique for a Cervical Orgasm 57:34 Overcoming Body Shame 1:03:06 Developing & Nurturing Sexual Chemistry 1:13:17 Conclusion   === Layla Martin is a thought leader in the intersection of sexual wellness, Tantra, erotic empowerment, and personal development.
