I’ve tried all sorts of meditations — from mantra based meditation, to visualization, mindfulness and deep breathing. But until a few years ago, I had never tried orgasmic meditation (OM)... and oh boy am I glad I did! For full show notes and episode resources, head to https://melissaambrosini.com/51 Unlike other meditations, which you do on your own, OM is a consciousness practice you do with another person. The OM practice combines the power and attention of meditation with the deeply human, deeply felt, and connected experience of orgasm. The benefits of this practice are huge — and backed up by both science and loads of personal stories of transformation. As well as feeling amazing, getting your OM on can incline people towards empathy, connection, and generosity. Orgasm also magnifies, intensifies, and vivifies everyday experience — not by altering it, but by revealing its true nature. The implications for our health, happiness, and relationships are astounding. To teach us about this sacred, sensual practice — and to help us peel back the layers on our own true nature — today I have Eli Block on the podcast, a senior faculty member and director at OneTaste. Eli’s insights are sure to inspire, fascinate and surprise you… So if you’re curious about how to activate your sexual impulse, ramp up your intimacy levels, and reach an optimal state of consciousness, this episode is a must listen!
