177: Sexual Healing as a Spiritual Pract...

Sarah Bright
About this episode

Today I’ve got the first in a new series I’m working on about spiritual practices that don’t always seem like spiritual practices. Every few weeks, I’ll share on a topic that can expand what we think of as spiritual practices. As the saying goes, we’re spiritual beings having a human experience - everything we do is part of our spiritual development. First up, we’ll start with sexual healing as a spiritual practice. It’s a conversation I had with sex therapist Heather Shannon, where we explore the idea that our sexuality isn't just linked to the sacral chakra, or even the heart chakra. Rather, our entire energy system is affected by our sexual health.
