Ep. 148 How to Have Hot Valentines Day Sex

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

In this episode, Katie illuminates how denying our sensuality and sexuality can repress it, and in turn show up in insidious ways. She also discusses the polarization around tantra and sex, and how this can be limiting. Tune in to learn how tantra can help us find a place of rest amongst the chaos and how this can support a healthy intimate relationship with ourselves and others.

In this episode you’ll hear: 

~ Some of the deeper meanings of the word TANTRA

~ The polarization around tantra and sex 

~ Why we all need to go back to Kindergarten when it comes to Sex Ed

~ The meaning of SAHAJA and sex life 

~ Embodied Ayurveda + Western Mystical Mind Event - join us live or virtually!

~ Katie’s book recommendations:

White Tigress Green Dragon: Taoist Sexual Secrets for Youthful Restoration and Spiritual Illumination

Healing Love through the Tao: Cultivating Female Sexual Energy

Taoist Secrets of Love: Cultivating Male Sexual Energy

Tao Tantric Arts for Women: Cultivating Sexual Energy, Love, and Spirit

If you’ve ever climbed into bed exhausted only t If you’ve ever climbed into bed exhausted only to have your mind suddenly decide it’s time to revisit every conversation, future possibility and unresolved life question... you may have met what’s called a Vata imbalance in Ayurveda. 💨

In Ayurveda, Vata governs movement, creativity and the nervous system. When it’s out of balance, sleep can feel less like resting and more like being interviewed by your own worst critic. 

A classic Vata sleep imbalance looks like:

• Racing thoughts
• Light sleep
• Waking between 2–4 a.m.
• Feeling tired but somehow unable to fully settle

Here’s the medicine for Vata: warmth, routine, nourishment and creating enough safety in the body that the nervous system finally gets the message that you can rest now.

Beautiful person, you wanna’ know the truth about sleeping better, getting better digestion and glowing from the inside-out? The real glow-up isn’t another product, protocol or hack. 

It’s learning how to live in relationship with your unique constitution, your hormones, your nervous system and the rhythms of nature. 

🍉 Come spend an hour with me in our FREE live workshop where we’ll create beautiful body rituals using simple ingredients you probably already have at home on July 16th at 12pm US Eastern (replay will be available for all who can’t attend live).

🌿 Just comment LAB below to save your spot!
July is peak Pitta season in the Northern Hemisphe July is peak Pitta season in the Northern Hemisphere, and the qualities of heat, intensity, sharpness and transformation are abundant both in nature and our bodies (if we don’t counter-balance them!). It’s time to amp up the cooling, hydrating and soothing qualities. 🌊

For our Southern Hemisphere ladies - you're moving through the opposite season right now so look to vata-balancing recommendations.

Here are some foods to reach for this month:

• Taro helps balance excess heat and is also steadily grounding
• Cilantro is a great liver supporter, cooling excess Pitta
• Cantaloupe helps replenish hydration and fluids during the hotter months
• Pomegranates are classically Pitta-balancing, both sweet and cooling!
• Green beans are light and easy to digest 
• Watermelon offers so much hydration - eat up!
• Bean sprouts are lightly cleansing, offsetting heaviness and stagnation
• Coconut is cooling and replenishing, the epitome of unctuous summer radiance
• Mung beans provide easy-to-digest nourishment while also gently cleansing ama
• Zucchini is light and water-rich, perfect for the heat!
• Millet and basmati rice are light and easy on the system, pairing beautifully with summer veggies and herbs
• Carrots offer us sweetness and nourishment, while remaining relatively easy to digest
• Freshwater fish provides grounding protein without too much heaviness
• Lime adds brightness and flavor, supporting digestion in moderation
• Kiwi is a refreshing and juicy treat, helping aid hydration
• Honeydew is another water-rich option, making it ideal for hot days

Lady, if you're ready to go deeper and actually learn how to work with your body through the lens of Ayurveda, our 2027 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training is open. 

And because it's Hot Girl Summer around here, you'll receive:
