This Love Sex and Leadership podcast episode delves into simple tantric practices aimed at cultivating deep awareness and presence. By learning to track one's own system and moments of dissociation, practitioners can better support their clients. Aaron discusses the importance of being in a parasympathetic state, how inner relaxation reflects in our outer world, and the impact of unprocessed trauma on the nervous system. He emphasizes the role of somatic education, slow somatic processing, and the capacity to recognize and express emotions as essential for healing. The session also discusses the importance of allowing oneself to communicate boundaries using safe words and the integration of deep emotional work without rushing the process.
