What if pleasure wasn’t indulgent… but medicine?
In this powerful conversation, Rahi Chun sits down with Devi Ward Erickson — founder of the Institute for Authentic Tantra Education — to explore how ancient Tibetan tantric practices can help heal trauma, restore embodiment, and awaken authentic sexual wholeness.
Devi shares her extraordinary journey from early trauma and disconnection, to monastic life, to discovering lineage-based tantric teachings that brought her back into her body through pleasure, breath, movement, and meditation.
Together, we explore how sexuality, spirituality, and somatic healing are not separate paths — but deeply intertwined.
This episode bridges:
ancient wisdom • nervous system healing • embodied sexuality • and modern social awareness
Inside this conversation:
• How pleasure supports trauma resolution
• Why embodiment is essential for healing
• Tibetan Five Element meditations and the chakra system
• Sexual energy as transformative life force
• Movement and somatic practices for releasing stored trauma
• Cultivating solo pleasure and “pleasure consciousness”
• Tantra beyond technique — rooted in love and compassion
• How culture, race, and conditioning shape our sexual embodiment
• Reclaiming the body as a path to freedom and aliveness
If you’re curious about tantra, somatic healing, or integrating sexuality with spirituality, this episode offers a grounded and lineage-based perspective that honors both ancient tradition and modern trauma awareness.
