The Vital Goddess

Trauma-Informed Tantra/Why Your Nervous System Needs to Be The Top Priority


Listen Later

An exciting trend is happening across industries and across the globe. 

The learning curve on all things trauma and how it impacts our lives and how we relate to each other has been steep over the past few years. 

As challenging as it can be, folks all over the world are rising to the occasion to learn and heal together. That’s a beautiful thing and I feel such an essential step in human evolution.

Trauma awareness has come leaps and bounds. 
And yet we still have a long way to go. 

In the work I do, I realized pretty early on that learning about trauma, how the body stores trauma and how we begin to unravel it is essential to supporting my clients and to continue to do my own healing work.

I know it sounds cliche but what I’ve found to be truer each each year is that healing is a journey, not a destination. It’s not a straight line either. 
There are layers and spirals. 
And we’re not meant to go it alone.


Nervous system support must be an integral part of any holistic sexuality program. To truly get a deeper embodied experience of pleasure and multi-orgasmic states, cultivating calm is the master key. 

We can't expand our capacity to receive pleasure, hold pleasure in our system and expand our orgasmic experience from a hyper aroused state of the nervous system. 

For real and lasting success in this work, and for you to truly embody the Goddess you were born to be your nervous system needs to be the top priority.

As a trauma-informed Tantra coach I've become quite a nervous system nerd.

And there's always more to learn. 
Always.
Let's learn together!

In this episode I riff on:

  • why Tantra spaces need to be trauma-informed.
  • how creating safe space is a co-creation and partnership
  • why sensuality is the frontier of the wellness industry
  • awareness is the first step: the Polyvagal Theory Curve; a map for nervous system awareness
  • why we need to cultivate calm in this work
  • the role of Vagal Tone in finding our calm and cultivating orgasm
  • the hyper-aroused state of sexuality in the status quo
  • knowing how to resource yourself and down-regulate your nervous system
  • the power of breathwork
  • the power of shaking medicine/ basic shake and deep shake
