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

I’ve been thinking about this phrase we toss aro I’ve been thinking about this phrase we toss around facetiously: “Thanks for nothing.” 

We lace our voice with resentment and the subtle (or not so subtle) middle finger to whatever didn’t go our way. 

But lately, I’ve been reclaiming it. Sanctifying it. 

Turning it into a quiet little prayer: Thank you. I am here. I am grateful for no reason. 

Science keeps confirming what the mystics have whispered for millennia: gratitude literally changes us.

Studies from UCLA and Harvard show that consistent gratitude practices calm the amygdala, boost dopamine and serotonin, expand heart-rate variability and even strengthen immune function. 

In other words: saying “thank you” rewires the nervous system and ushers the whole body into a different frequency. 

But here’s where it gets counter-intuitive: 

Most of us only practice gratitude for the shiny things - the wins at work, blessings in our bank account, the relationships feeling good… 

But what about the heartbreaks? 
The long nights in the dark? 
The relationships that stretched us, cracked us and forced us to grow? 
The strange, sacred mandala of our lives — the shadowy petals included? 

This is where “Thanks for nothing” becomes a holy prayer. 

Because sometimes the “nothings” (the thing that didn’t happen, the door that didn’t open, the expectation that didn’t get met) is the quiet architecture of our becoming something GREATER. 

More heartful. More real. 

Sometimes what appears as an absence is actually a deep cosmic protection. The chaos is the curriculum. 

So today, I’m practicing a new kind of gratitude: 

Thanks for the heartbreak that humbled me. 
Thanks for the silence that made me listen deeper. 
Thanks for the plans that fell apart, so I could fall into myself. 
Thanks for the nothing that was actually everything. 

This isn’t spiritual bypass. It’s radical spiritual bravery. 

It’s choosing to bow to the full freaking thing. The yummy parts and the ones with biting teeth. 

It’s remembering that we don’t need perfect circumstances to cultivate a loving, grounded physiology. 

So, friend…Happy Thanksgiving. 

Thanks for nothing. 
And thanks for everything.
These acts may seem small, but they are powerful A These acts may seem small, but they are powerful Ayurvedic rituals for dropping into your heart and cultivating gratitude for the Earth, our relationships and our food. 🌿 ⁠
⁠
🤲🏼 Offer gratitude. Give thanks to Big Mama Nature and feel that She is providing you with nourishment through the sacrifice of other plants and animals.⁠
⁠
🍲 Feed someone else first. First feeding others is a sign of our gratitude to the Big Mama who is feeding us. If you are single, make some extra food for a neighbor, water the plants or feed the birds.⁠
⁠
🍽️ Set the table. Even if you are eating alone, laying down a beautiful tablecloth, placemats and cloth napkins tells your unconscious, "Eating is sacred."⁠
⁠
📵 Be present. Eating while web-surfing, watching TV, texting or driving dampens the digestive fire.⁠
⁠
🥄 Chew slowly. Chew mindfully. Feel grateful for where you are now in your life.⁠
⁠
🧘🏼‍♀️ Eat in a good mood: Our mood carries power into the food we eat. If we eat while we are angry or sad, or any other negative mood state, that mood will be transmitted into the food we eat, and deeper into the body and mind.⁠
⁠
Save for your quick reminders on how to ritualize eating this week. 🍽💗🍂
