Ep. 157 How We Squirm Off Our Chance to Really Love (Tantra Talks #7)

This is a picture of Katie Silcox. The text reads, "Spirit Sessions: Find your true spiritual home with Katie Silcox."

This episode is a bootleg broadcast from the Spirit Sessions Membership, our members-only live monthly workshop.

This episode is all about self-love! Not the self-love that includes massaging our breasts with coconut oil and reminding ourselves that we’re a goddess (although we love this daily ritual). Instead, we’re opening our hearts and deepening our understanding of self-love through conversation and integration.

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ How we become adept at wiggling away from ourselves, the present moment and our bodies

~ What is ‘the spot’?

~ How we become aware of the way we squirm away from ‘the spot’

~ Ways to return to ourselves and be with what is actually there in the moment

Ep. 156 Not Your New Age Mama’s Manifestation

Spirit Sessions Podcast Guest for website

Join Katie and her dear mentor and friend Cristal Mortensen for a conversation about manifestation. Manifestation is both what we do and are, so by opening more deeply to our true selves, we can experience more of what we want in life.

Cristal leads us through a powerful guided practice that you can use to begin manifesting today!

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ What is manifestation?

~ How our heart is the bridge between reality and limitless possibility

~ You are manifesting right now and all the time

~ How to honor the universal struggle of dissatisfaction, “not enough,” and inner poverty

~ The spontaneous arising of what we want vs. “forcing it”

~ Feeling difficult emotions without being swallowed by them

~ How desire and not having are two sides of the same coin

~ Why we don’t need to avoid negative thoughts and feelings to manifest

~ Why Katie calls herself a “recovering manifester”

~ How to liberate and loosen our perception of ourselves and the world

~ Experiencing the process of becoming (unmanifest to manifest)

~ How to manifest from feminine energy

~ The importance of the energetic, etheric realm in manifesting

~ Getting in touch with our deeper desires and questions

~ A guided practice to begin manifesting today!

~ Join us inside The Shakti School for Cristal’s 8-week course, Energy 101. Learn how to work with your body's energy to heal, vitalize and awaken to spirit! Moreover, this course will provide the framework for working with your own energy and bringing these techniques into your own healing arts practice while working with others.

Welcome to Pitta Season, where the sun’s out, th Welcome to Pitta Season, where the sun’s out, the fire element is high and yes—you can stay up a little bit later than usual without wrecking your routine .☀️😎

This is the time of year when Ayurveda gives us a little more wiggle room (that is, if you’re not experiencing any major health challenges or imbalances!). That means, chilled mint tea? Go for it. 🌿 Poolside lounging? Deeply therapeutic. 🏖️ Late-night dance party under the stars? Honestly, dance parties are soul medicine. 🌕

In the summer, Pitta dosha dominates, inviting us to partake in the season’s passion and fire. The trick is to enjoy this fiery boost without burning out.

So, as you up the passion, keep in mind these Pitta-mitigating habits:

~ Sip cooling teas like rose, mint or fennel.

~ Snack on watery fruits to stay hydrated (hi, watermelon!).

~ Skip the ice bucket—chill your beverages by leaving them in the fridge for a few hours instead.

~ Moonbathe as much as you sunbathe: Pitta is reduced by gazing at the moon!

Here’s the bottom line: You’re not off the Ayurvedic hook, but you do get a permission slip to embrace the season of passion and love. 😘
In this heartfelt episode of Spirit Sessions Podca In this heartfelt episode of Spirit Sessions Podcast, Katie opens up a compassionate, non-judgmental conversation about Ozempic and weight loss drugs through the lens of Ayurveda. ⁠
⁠
With deep love and understanding for those on these medications, she explores how true healing comes from discernment and addressing the root causes of imbalance.⁠
⁠
We’ll also explore Ayurvedic insights on hunger and the sacred role of fat in the body, reminding us that our fat carries the wisdom of our lineage. Tune in for a warm, honest discussion that weaves together science, spirit and self-love. ⁠

When the heat is rising…whether from the sun or When the heat is rising…whether from the sun or your own INNER spice…you need herbs that soothe your system. ⁠
⁠
These are some of my favorite spice-mitigating plant allies that help cool intensity 🌶️:⁠
⁠
🌸 Rose Tea is cooling and heart-opening. It soothes emotional intensity and helps balance heat in the blood and skin.⁠
⁠
🌿Peppermint Tea is naturally cooling to the digestive system. It helps reduce inflammation and is great for those overheated summer moments—whether they’re physical or emotional.⁠
⁠
🌺 Hibiscus Tea is cooling and cleansing—it’s tart flavor is oh-so-refreshing and the perfect addition to your summer mocktails.⁠
⁠
✨ Fennel Tea aids digestion without increasing heat. Its sweet and mildly cooling properties help to calm too much fire in the digestive system.⁠
⁠
🍬 Licorice Root Tea is deeply hydrating. It helps support natural energy without overstimulation. Plus, its naturally sweet taste helps soothe the Pitta craving for intensity and control.⁠
⁠
These herbs can be enjoyed individually or blended (like rose + fennel + peppermint) for extra balancing benefits. Pro tip: Let them cool to room temperature or serve slightly chilled during summer months for extra Pitta-soothing power. 🌺🌬️⁠
