What are heightened sexual experiences? How do we access them? How do they relate to our ability to access pleasure, multiple orgasms, and a profound sense of intimacy with ourselves and with others? What do we need to watch out for on our journey of awakening to these heightened sexual experiences in order to stay safe in ourselves and avoid accidentally hurting others? And, what roles do our psychedelic experiences serve in this sexual awakening? We welcome Miriam Elyse to Adventures Through The Mind to explore these questions and more. --LINKS--   For links to Miriams's work, full show notes, and to watch this episode in video, head to https://bit.ly/ATTMind134 ***Full Topics Breakdown Below***   --- SUPPORT THIS PODCAST —   ► Patreon: https://patreon.com/jameswjesso ► Donations: https://www.paypal.com/biz/fund?id=383635S3BKJVS ► Merchandise: https://www.jameswjesso.com/shop/ ► More options: https://www.jameswjesso.com/support/ ► Newsletter: https://www.jameswjesso.com/newsletter   *** Extra BIG thanks to my patrons on Patreon for helping keep this podcast alive!
