The Vital Goddess

Summer can be such a great time of year to deepen your connection to your feminine energy. The seasons we're moving into astrologically; Cancer, Leo and Virgo each have their own unique gifts and invitations into deeper embodiment, pleasure and self love. Cancer's focus on self care, nourishment, safety and belonging, Leo's focus on radiant self love, creativity and play, and Virgo&...

Are you ready for a summer romance?  I love it!  What if I told you that the hottest romance in town starts from within? In this episode I share some some thoughts on what I found to be true about the sacred union between our inner masculine and feminine energies and how we can cultivate more love, trust and harmony from within and set the stage for living in love regardless of our relationship st...

This week I want to share about how I started to get Zen with pleasure with a practice called Orgasmic Meditation. When I started to bring a deeper quality of mindfulness into my pleasure practice things started to root a new and more profound way.  We have so many distractions when it comes to our sensuality and sensuality.  Things can get complicated and confusing fast.  I found that when I lear...

In this episode I want to get a little personal. Because I feel it may be of service. About 20 years ago my marriage was on the rocks. And I had no clue what to do about it. Hell, I was so resentful that I wasn't even sure I wanted to do anything about it. At that time I was lucky enough to find teachers who were living in a very different paradigm when it came to men and relationships. Teach...

Your time is such a precious resource and for most women it seems like it's in short supply. If you feel like your days are packed and you barely have time to take a deep breath, you're in good company. The pace of life can definitely create a strong narrative that we have no time for pleasure, creativity, joy and all the good things in life. I get that. I feel that way at times as well....

Is pleasure selfish? I used to think so. What I've found to be true is the opposite. The deeper I've gone into my sensual embodiment practices over the last 15 years or so, the more I see the effect it continues to have not just on me but on everyone in my life. As within, so without. And I see similar effects with my clients. There are a number of things I've observed over the year...

One of the silver lining gifts of the challenging pandemic years was the rise of the home practice. During global lockdown folks got busy creating home gyms, meditation spaces, yoga spaces and more. By carving out physical space in their homes, people went deeper with whatever practice they were engaging with. That's empowerment! When it comes to mindful sensuality practice, Tantric and Taois...

Can your sensuality be the missing link to true embodied self trust? The kind of guidance that will never steer you wrong? I believe it can. We're so conditioned to look outside of ourselves for the answers. With the amount of information we now have available to us via the internet, it's never been more challenging to tune in and trust ourselves. When you find yourself anxious, overwhel...

If you want to expand your pleasure, sensuality, creativity, vitality and access more of your sacred feminine essence, one of the most valuable things to get really skillful at is the art of slowing down. When is comes to flow, pleasure, bliss and even love, everything we seek is within us. But how do we get sustainable access to it? How do we come out of the ever racing (and often fearful) mind a...

Jennifer Whitaker is spiritual coach and wealth expert who guides w...

The world is changing rapidly and at the heart of it all is the rise of the Sacred Feminine.  This energy is multi-dimensional and it's going to look different for each of us. There's no one way to be "feminine" and sacred doesn't necessarily mean serene. As the feminine rises so do the parts of us that need healing. Today I want to share a conversation I had with my dear...

Self love is a lifelong journey isn't it? There are always new experiences that come into our lives where we get to choose love. We get so many opportunities (that often masquerade as crises) where we get an invitation to choose to love ourselves first. Although it's become such a cliche, loving ourselves first is not easy! It's really challenging for most folks. That totally makes...

Our emotions are a power source. And yet most of us have been taught that our emotions are a problem. It can certainly feel that way util we learn how to work with them. And we won't get there by thinking about them. The alchemical magic happens when we allow ourselves to feel our emotions and allow them to move through us. Only then can we harvest the wisdom hidden within them. And feel empo...

The Jade Egg or Yoni Egg practice is one of the most curative and empowering practices on the planet for the female pelvis. It's a mind, body, spirit practice that completely changed my life when I found it in my early 40s. Dialing it back to that time I was having a lot of issues with my pelvis. After 3 big babies within 5 years I had some physical problems that I'd never addressed. And...

What if the love we seek is right under our noses? What if most of we've been told about our sensuality is simply not true and that pleasure is is actually the fastest and most powerful way to embody love, gratitude, peace and compassion? What if we were able to do a little myth busting and explore our pleasure through a different, sacred lens? Who would we be? What would we create? The Godde...

When does perfectionism serve us?  When can it get in the way? While it's great to excel at something we're passionate about and awesome to get focused, go for it, build skills, achieve and slay the day, when it comes to cultivating a deeper experience of pleasure, habitual perfectionism can be a massive road block. Why is that? Our sensuality is about coming home to our senses. And that...

The path of sensual reclamation is a heroine's journey. It's not for the timid. When we get in touch with and begin to embody our full Goddess essence, things shift. Sometimes massively. I'd like to say that the path of reclaiming our sensuality and pleasure is an easeful flowing process but for all women I know it's not. It's deep work. And deep play. Doing this work will...

Today I want to share with you one of my favorite sensual embodiment practices: The Taoist Breast Massage .  I’ve been practicing Breast Massage as a daily body meditation for over 10 years and it has completely transformed my physical breasts and my relationship with my breasts. It’s also deepened my connection to my feminine essence and my experience of embodied love and pleasure. Breast Massage...

Tantra can mean different things to different people. To me Tantra is the yoga of embodying the love we are at the core. It's the mind, body, spirit practice of coming home to the sacredness of our bodies, healing what blocks our full expression of love and coming fully alive. It's the practice of landing our unique essence; our soul shine.  And remembering what our souls came to do and...

An exciting trend is happening across industries and across the globe.  The learning curve on all things trauma and how it impacts our lives and how we relate to each other has been steep over the past few years.  As challenging as it can be, folks all over the world are rising to the occasion to learn and heal together. That’s a beautiful thing and I feel such an essential step in human evolution...

Midlife and menopause. For so many these word signify change. For some, big change. There can be major shifts in the way we feel physically, emotionally and spiritually. It can be a crisis or a golden opportunity.  I wanted to bring in an expert on adult transitions so we could dive a little deeper into this, so this week I'm in conversation with my dear friend and colleague Kellie Sterling....
