Ep. 95 Pleasure Pathways + Erotic Embodiment with Chris Muse

In this episode I talk with Somatic Sex Educator and Shakti School teacher Chris Muse. Chris is devoted to helping people quiet their voices of doubt and get comfortable taking the leap into knowing and trusting themselves more fully. Join us in this juicy conversation about pleasure, its connection to the nervous system and how to achieve erotic embodiment.

In this episode you’ll hear:

~ The importance of knowing our anatomy as a way to navigate arousal

~ Cultural conditioning and how it relates the nervous system + pleasure

~ “Junk food pleasure” versus “nutrient dense pleasure” as it relates to the nervous system

~ How technology and social media is affecting our pleasure pathways

~ The necessity of safety for erotic embodiment

~ Slowing down as a way to maximize pleasure

~ How to cultivate what is already well within us

By the way… we’re not making fun of Vatas, we’re celebrating the spontaneous, creative and inspired way of being that comes so naturally when this dosha is present. 😉

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. 😘
