The power of sexual energy for men with Graeme Waterfield

The power of sexual energy for men with Graeme Waterfield
Today is a big day!! Graeme and I are heading off to the UK Independent Podcast Awards where the Love, Sex and Intimacy Podcast has been nominated for awards in 2 categories so send some good vibes our way!!  I am very excited to be off to London and to meet fellow podcasters. The UK Independent Podcast Awards created a new category for podcasts focused on sex and relationships. Podcasting feels particularly important at this time when there is so much censorship on social media, especially in the arena of sex. Myself and so many of my colleagues are committed to providing quality information, to helping people and contributing to making the world a better place. Yet, every week I see shadow banning of posts and accounts disappearing overnight and in many cases these have taken years of dedication to grow.  As we are at the mercy of big tech in this way, podcasting is an essential space to freely have conversations that are censored elsewhere. This is also why it really helps to spread the word about the podcast so that I get more gorgeous messages like this!"I’ve been loving your podcast, Sarah Rose Bright! It’s really helped me in my relationship. Thank you SO much for putting such quality content out there"I would so appreciate it if you can follow the podcast, leave a 5 star rating on Spotify or Apple and if you have the time, to write a short review on Apple. It also really helps spread the word about the podcast so people can find it organically. It felt good to put out an extra podcast episode out in celebration of today. You, beautiful listeners, asked for more conversations and perspectives from men and here we are! In this episode with Graeme Waterfield, we talk about the power of sexual energy for men. Graeme has been working with Taoist sexual energy practices for two decades and he now supports men through his course ‘Sexual Energy Mastery for Men’. Graeme talks about what sexual energy is and why it is important, the healing power of bringing sexuality from the unconscious to the conscious, how to start working with this, his views on ejaculating/not ejaculating and more. I hope you enjoy this conversation! Graeme shares:What sexual energy is and why it is important The healing power of bringing sexuality from the unconscious to the conscious The difference between ‘down and in’ practices to ‘up and out’ practices His views on ejaculating/non ejaculating How to start consciously working with your sexual energy How sexual energy can amplify emotions The themes that he sees in his work with menHow he defines masculinity What the still face experiment isGraeme Waterfield helps men become all they are capable of being, through understanding and mastering their own sexual energy. He does this primarily through Taoist and yogic meditation and guided energy practices.With his partner, Intimacy and Sex Coach, Sarah Rose Bright, he also assists couples in exploring practices for deeper intimacy, connection, and pleasure through group programmes and retreats.With 20 years of experience as a teacher and coach and having been on his own 30 year journey, Graeme offers grounded practical guidance, and has come to see what helps men evolve and heal physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.Being a qualified Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gung & Meditation teacher with a background in counselling, Graeme offers unique packages of somatic, psychological and energetic tools to help men transform themselves and their lives to become everything they want to be.We all have a unique set of skills, our own unique soul expression or purpose. Once we can awaken and identify this, we can turn our life into a masterpiece. People often don’t maximise their potential...

Excited to share this episode with my partner and co-teacher, Graeme Waterfield.  We love chatting about intimacy, sex and pleasure and have conversations like this all the time. We share some of the common themes that we experience in our work and also explore what is possible when you shift your attention from goal based sex to presence and pleasure. We explore:What is possible beyond the goal based pleasure that most people learn.  How most people learn to ‘do’ sex and the limitations of thatWhy mainstream sex advice is misguidedWhat is possible when we drop inside and meet each other from that placeThe role of the nervous system in connection and arousal We are now bringing our decades of experience and our 5 years exploring and growing together to our couples programme, INTIMACY which starts September 2023. At the end of the conversation we share about INTIMACY with a special offer for those listening to this episode!You can read all about INTIMACY here.  https://www.sarahrosebright.co.uk/intimacy/After reading the info, if you have any additional questions or you would like to book a 30 minute call with Graeme and I to see if INTIMACY is right for you both, please message me.  About GraemeWith 20 years of experience as a teacher and coach and having been on his own 30 year journey, Graeme Waterfield has come to see what helps people evolve and heal physically, emotionally, psychologically and spiritually.Being a qualified Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gung & Meditation teacher with a background in counselling, Graeme offers completely unique packages of somatic, psychological and energetic tools to help you transform yourself and your life to become everything you want to be.He has come to see that we all have a unique set of skills, our own unique soul expression or purpose.

Core & pelvic floor healing & health with Lauren Ohayon

Core & pelvic floor healing & health with Lauren Ohayon
In this episode, I am joined by Lauren Ohayon. Lauren is the founder of “Restore Your Core” (RYC®) and creator of the RYC® method for resolving core and pelvic floor issues. I invited Lauren on the podcast as pelvic floor issues are so common and they can have a huge effect on how a woman experiences sex, pleasure and intimacy.  So many women experience issues like prolapse and incontinence and can feel fear and shame. To me, the saddest thing is that these issues are not talked about enough and so many of them are preventable. I know if I had had more knowledge I would not have experienced a prolapse so it is important to create space for these conversations. I personally came across Lauren’s work on my journey of healing my prolapse and found RYC to be such a well put together programme and I could feel the difference in my body from building the strength in my core. Whether you have pelvic floor concerns or you want to know how to look after your pelvic floor, there is something here for you. I am delighted to share Lauren’s work and her wisdom. Lauren shares:The common issues that Lauren supportsHow common pelvic floor issues are Why there is nothing to ‘fix’ when you have a pelvic floor issuesThe difference between a ‘weak’ and a hypertonic pelvic floor How the healing journey can take timeWhat to do if you find you are not getting the support you would like from your doctorWhy so many women can take years to reach out for support Restore Your Core’s unique ‘whole body’ approach to pelvic floor issues How Restore Your Core trainers support women to access their own ‘felt sense’When a pelvic exam is appropriate How shame can impact pelvic floor issuesHow to look after your pelvic floor Why the health of your core is so importantAdvice on sex with a prolapse Lauren Ohayon is the founder of “Restore Your Core” (RYC®) and creator of the RYC® method. With more than two decades’ experience as an internationally renowned yoga and pilates instructor, Lauren focuses on resolving core and pelvic floor issues minus the “burn and shred” mentality. The Restore Your Core® program is a comprehensive and sustainable fitness program that empowers women who aim to be strong, long, mobile and functional.

Today I’m delighted to share this conversation with Tamu Thomas.  Tamu helps ‘over-functioning, overworking, high achievers to prioritise their own well-being and life satisfaction alongside success and achievement’.  She is on a mission to help women ‘enhance how they live, love and work by recovering from their addiction to toxic productivity’.You might be wondering what this has to do with love, sex and intimacy.  A lot!! Your work can have a huge impact on how you experience sex and intimacy.  I see this all the time with the women I work with who are often overworking, stressed and exhausted.As Tamu helps women to have a different relationship with work she also supports them to have a better quality of life through areas like self care, pleasure, rest which we dive into. In this rich conversation, Tamu shares about what she calls ‘grounded self care’ and how that is good for society, the problems with ‘spiritual capitalism’ and ‘spiritual bypassing’, how pleasure can be challenging for women, how dominant powers in society can affect your ability to experience pleasure, her vision for revolutionising how we work, the impact of work on sex and intimacy, her quest to be a well rested woman and much more. Tamu shares:Her journey from burnout, panic attacks and depression to todayHer definition of grounded self careHow self care leads to social and environmental careHow discipline can be a protective pattern The problems with ‘spiritual capitalism’ and ‘spiritual bypassing’ The difference between the ‘wounded inner child’ to the ‘healthy adult self’Why people can find joy, bliss and pleasure unfamiliar emotions How women can constrict their pleasure The pleasure / power axis and how dominant powers in society can affect your ability to experience pleasure Her quest to be a well rested woman A practice to connect with how it feels like to be you The importance of feeling safe in your body How being in a survival state affects pleasureHer vision for revolutionising how we workHow the systems we grow up in shape our identity around work and who you are Why many people do not feel safe in their workplace The value of getting clear on the type of life you want and crafting your work around that so you live to work rather than work to live The impact of work on sex and intimacyTamu Thomas helps over-functioning, overworking, high achievers fall in love with themselves so they can make powerful choices about how they live, love and work.Tamu’s integrated approach is practical and relatable.
