Meditation expert Emily Fletcher, shares how to use your sexual energy and meditation to manifest the life of your dreams and is launching a new podcast, (https://link.chtbl.com/whythis) Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?


Emily actualized her life-long dream of being on Broadway, only to find herself stressed, sick, and unhappy. After some soul searching she found meditation, and in one session was transformed. 
Today she shares what meditation actually is and why we can't afford to NOT meditate. She also dives deep on what she calls "pleasure prayer", of harnessing the creative potential of your orgasm to manifest. Emily also shares the lessons she has learned from motherhood, how to achieve harmony in relationship, and why the world is starving for a pleasure revolution.

Emily is the founder of Ziva and the host of the spine-tingling new podcast, Why Isn’t Everyone Doing This? (link.chtbl.com/whythis).


She is an international speaker whose superpower is making esoteric tools accessible to a mainstream audience, teaching over 50,000 people meditation and manifesting. Her best-selling book, Stress Less, Accomplish More, debuted at #7 out of all books on Amazon and has been translated into 12 languages. Her work has been featured by The New York Times, Good Morning America and Vogue. She’s taught at Apple, Google and Harvard Business School. 


A formerly stressed Broadway performer going gray at 27, Emily was desperate for a solution when she found meditation -- which immediately cured her insomnia and anxiety. Her transformation was so dramatic that she quit acting, went to India, and studied the ancient tools Ziva students swear by today.


Over the past three years she has dedicated herself to developing innovative embodiment practices that empower individuals to transmute stress into boundless joy.
