Feminine Spirituality For Feminine Enlightenment
August 12, 2020 06:00 - 53 minutes - 36.9 MBLike many things in our current day, not many spiritual paths honour the feminine and the unique energies of the female body. This is key because a woman's enlightenment is a reflection of her sexuality. Just as her Eros is opened through nurturing, bonding, connection, and love (for example, long, loving foreplay), so is her opening to spirit. Women are not only meant to meditate their way to God/dess—their nature is to travel this path with juiciness, emotional flow, and radiance too. In ...
Make Love to Money
July 21, 2020 07:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBMost people relate to money unconsciously in one of two ways: 1. With 'lack mentality', endless worry and holding onto it with white knuckles, or 2. Without value and spending money as soon as they get it. Both come down to self-worth. Money is like any energy—when you dance and respect it, it will always support you. However, if you are wasteful or have a lack mentality about money, your thoughts become like a boulder stopping abundance moving toward you. Treat money like a goddess and...
Opening To It ALL: Therein Lies Your Power
July 21, 2020 07:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBPain and pleasure are part of the flow of life. It's part of this reality, part of this life. Is suffering unavoidable? Yes! Suffering is not created by pain or lack of pleasure; it is created by our resistance to pain and attachment to pleasure. When we truly allow ourselves to feel everything and open in surrender, we find universal Source energy, love, acceptance, peace, and even ecstasy. The good, the bad, the ugly: it is all meant to be felt. Therein lies our power. How do we untangle ...
How to Stop Arguing With Your Partner
July 09, 2020 11:00 - 26 minutes - 18.4 MBIt's SO tempting to argue... To make the other person see your point of view, or how they were wrong and we were right! It feels so good to make them wrong... or does it? As soon as you defend yourself or leap at an emotional charge, you give your power away. And inevitably arguments go around in in circles, drain your energy, and ultimately, you miss an opportunity to evolve your soul, drop the ego that wants to win above all else and return to love. In this episode, find out more about l...
Polarity, Union, and Relationship Interdependence
June 24, 2020 11:00 - 9 minutes - 6.42 MBThe more we are in touch with our inner opposite, the more we can anchor our polarity with a partner. For men, if the feminine is alive within, he can better anchor his presence. The more present a woman is, the stronger she will sit in her feminine power. Cultivating the polarities is essential. If we can't relate to our own inner opposite, we can’t expect to relate to our partner (whatever their gender is). Alignment with our inner opposite also supports our interdependency with our part...
Goodbye Stress, Hello Somatic Release Tools
May 25, 2020 14:00 - 59 minutes - 40.7 MBWhen you hold stress in your body, it creates blockages to your ease in this present moment.

Hear Raven and Aaron take you through the "7 Emotional Release Tools" and Kundalini Movement*, a slower and more nurturing somatic release practice for stress release. They also discuss commonly forgotten keys to reducing stress i...

May 04, 2020 07:00 - 31 minutes - 21.9 MBHow safe do you feel in life, love, and relationships? Are you running a constant fight/flight response within your nervous system? The cultivation of our own safety and balancing the root chakra starts within; we can learn to create safety for ourselves, starting with three foundational elements: 1) A deep understanding of the nervous system, including how to bring yourself from being in the sympathetic nervous system response (fight/flight) to the parasympathetic response (rest & digest)...
Fear of Death, What Matters & the Art of Surrender
April 06, 2020 18:00 - 42 minutes - 29.3 MBAsk yourself, “How much do I depend on my external world vs my internal world for security and safety?” COVID-19 is a mirror that's revealing a lot. It's showing us who we are, what we’re afraid of, our ability to trust and surrender (or not), what matters to us, our determination or our tendency to fall into avoidance behaviour, our clarity or haziness on the Grand Organised Design, what our worth is centered on, and how we want to show up in the world… The coronavirus event has given us t...
Fear & COVID-19: Practical Spiritual Advice
March 18, 2020 14:00 - 13 minutes - 9.65 MBIn this episode, Chantelle Raven offers practical support and tools for this crazy time. Tantra is about choosing to be in the aliveness of this moment. For many, there is a lot of anxiety and fear at the moment... We don't have to stay stuck in it. If we do, we create inner havoc that doesn't need to be there to the extent many are now experiencing. It's not about denying chaos, but remembering that you're the creator of what you're experiencing. Listen to receive practical guidance on... ...
Beyond Burnout: Joyfully Manifest Your Soul Purpose
March 10, 2020 22:00 - 38 minutes - 26.6 MBWhat's the biggest obstacle to manifesting your soul purpose? Here it is: if you don’t listen to and action your inner guidance… It’s all about the inner marriage of the masculine and feminine in your business. If you act without internal guidance, you end up burning out. If you have internal guidance, but no action, you float like a feather in the wind. So, how do we cultivate this inner marriage in our projects to manifest our soul's desire? How do we apply this, practically? With lots of...
Stop Waiting: Live and Love Life Now!
February 01, 2020 09:00 - 23 minutes - 16.4 MBHow do we live and love life to the fullest? And how do we do it NOW? It involves getting out of your own way, to stop listening to the self-limiting beliefs, the constant mind-chatter and get out of your own way! It involves emptying out and getting in touch with the deeper parts of ourselves that are beneath the mind's constant opinions. What does our heart say? What does our body say? What is the universe showing me through signs and where is my life wanting to flow? The mind is a ...
The Four Portals Into Shadow Work: Igniting Your Power
December 16, 2019 23:00 - 39 minutes - 27.1 MBTo be in your true power is to live authentically as yourself in every moment – shedding the masks, facing your fears and freeing yourself from past conditioning. How is this achieved? Through discovering and loving your shadows – the parts of yourself you beat-up on, suppress, avoid and judge – that remain lurking in your unconscious and cause continual suffering in life. Working with unconscious shadows is essential to any person who takes their spiritual journey seriously and who wish...

December 03, 2019 05:00 - 27 minutes - 18.8 MBChantelle Raven explores the collective shadow that we all embody to some degree (until we become conscious of it!). We discuss the Victim, Addict, Self-Sabotage, and the Know It All.

Own Your Shadow: Better the Devil You Know
November 17, 2019 23:00 - 15 minutes - 10.5 MBTrue power is self-awareness—the ability to take responsibility for our lives. As long as we make other people or circumstances around us responsible for how we feel and act, we will give our power away. Own whatever you’re feeling, whether it’s ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Make these energies conscious so that we’re not showing one face and have something else leaking out beneath the surface. This episode explores how to take responsibility, claim back power, and own all aspects of yourself. You’ll di...
Enlightenment and Endarkenment: Awake In The Dream
November 05, 2019 01:00 - 19 minutes - 13.7 MBThe shadow consists of everything that we repress as a result of our conditioning, what we’re told is ‘not okay’. What was encouraged in the child is over-exaggerated in adulthood. Whatever is discouraged is pushed into the shadow. The unconscious shadow can do damage in all sorts of ways in relationship, career, self-worth, and mental health. What was encouraged in your childhood? What was off limits? Can you notice where this impacts you in your current life? This episode explores how to l...

How to Follow Your Heart and Do What You Love
October 07, 2019 04:00 - 32 minutes - 22.2 MBIn Tantra, finding your purpose in the world is about finding what turns you on. What’s your passion?

In this episode, find what is your authentic expression in the world when you empty out and allow Love to flow ...

Power Grows from Strong Roots
August 13, 2019 04:00 - 16 minutes - 11.3 MBWe can’t have power without a foundation. It’s like having a tree without roots. What would happen if a thunderstorm hit a tree with no roots? It would topple over. We need the stillness and strength of roots (inner masculine) to support the blossoming and fruiting of our gifts (inner feminine), which is our true power. To strengthen our roots and obtain our gifts of power, we need to develop our own inner union, rather than depending on our outer union or circumstances to complete us. ...

July 07, 2019 08:00 - 24 minutes - 16.8 MBRelationships are our biggest teachers, but if we cannot realise that our partners have something to teach us about our own relationship with ourselves, then we tend to fall into an unhealthy pattern of co-dependency.

You Are Your Own Beloved
July 05, 2019 04:00 - 13 minutes - 9.64 MBMost people try to find safety and love in relationships through attempting to control and change their external circumstances.

This is a dynamic for struggle and disconnection. What we want to shift is to bring awareness that everything external to ourselves is a reflection ...
