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

Here’s your seasonal reminder to give yourself G Here’s your seasonal reminder to give yourself GRACE. This time of year can truly feel like a marathon for the soul. And that’s okay. Every time you notice your tenderness, and then give yourself even the tiniest bit of compassion, you are taking a step towards healing.

Sending infinite love to you and yours this holiday season. 🫀🙏🏼🌲🌟🕯

Reel by @vevianvoz
Ayurveda was always meant to live in your body, yo Ayurveda was always meant to live in your body, your kitchen, your relationships and your real, messy, modern life.⁠
⁠
At The Shakti School, we’re not here to turn you into a Sanskrit memorization machine or ask you to become some mythical “perfect” Ayurveda student. We’re here to help you feel this wisdom: in how you eat, sleep, work, love and regulate your nervous system in a world that runs on iced coffee and Instagram.⁠
⁠
This is a living, breathing experience of Ayurveda.⁠
⁠
Not a textbook. Not a performance. A practice.⁠
⁠
Whether you’ve been on a spiritual path for decades or you’re brand new and just know something needs to change, you belong here. Shakti School is about meeting yourself exactly where you are and letting ancient wisdom gently reshape your life in ways that feel liberating, nourishing and real.⁠
⁠
The original Ayurvedic teachings remind us that healing only works when it honors context. When it starts with compassion.⁠
⁠
If something in you feels that quiet nudge, we’d love to welcome you in.⁠
⁠
🌬️ Comment SOMATIC for my free class, Healing the Nervous System with Somatic Ayurveda (the ultimate toolkit for grounding and nervous system regulation).⁠
⁠
🌹 Comment WISDOM for my free mini-course Women’s Wisdom and Ayurveda to learn the foundations of Ayurveda and start reclaiming mind-body balance today.⁠
⁠
📚 Comment AYURVEDASCHOOL (one word) to learn more about our yearlong immersion into feminine-form Ayurveda that starts in January.
Q: “Do you cover all phases of women’s health? Q: “Do you cover all phases of women’s health? I’m not in my 20s or 30s anymore… is this program still for me?”⁠
⁠
A: Ohhh yes, beautiful woman. Let’s clear this one up because it comes up a lot.⁠
⁠
Shakti School is NOT a program just for women in their reproductive years. In fact, some of our most devoted, powerful students are in their 50s, 60s, 70s… even their 80s. This is a space where every phase of womanhood is honored, supported and celebrated: maiden, mother, queen and crone.⁠
⁠
Menopause, perimenopause and post-menopause are very much covered in our Level 1 training. We have an entire 3-hour class on menopause with the incredible acharya Mary Thompson, plus hormone-balancing teachings woven throughout the year. Ayurveda has some of the most profound tools for this entire midlife transition, physically, emotionally and spiritually.⁠
⁠
And when you get to our Women’s Health Module, it’s truly a portal of empowerment at any age. We’ll cover women’s vitality, how stress impacts women’s bodies, the endocrine system, hormones, womb care at every stage of hormonal life, Ayurvedic perspectives on thyroid and so much more. ⁠
⁠
And because feminine wellness touches every part of our lives, we also explore themes inside Module 7: Sacred Sensuality like Ojas, Soma and developing a healthy relationship to your sensuality (at any age).⁠
⁠
For those interested in supporting others (or yourself) through fertility, conscious pregnancy and postpartum, we also dive deep into the Ayurvedic teachings for the sacred threshold of motherhood.⁠
⁠
So yes, this is a whole-woman, whole-life, whole-journey education. Not a one-phase curriculum.⁠
⁠

This is actually one of our central-most values that makes our feminine-form school different:

Ayurveda doesn’t belong in dusty books. It belongs in your life. That’s what we teach. And that’s why our program centers around YOU connecting back to YOUR own inner wisdom.

There’s less than 4 weeks until our 2026 Ayurvedic Wellness Coach Certification Training begins. We start on January 14th - so get in the door now.
