Vylana Marcus | Can Pure Eroticism: Higher Consciousness? Why All Is Sacred, Goddess Archetypes + How To Be In Your Full F*ck
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast
The Miracle of a Human Body, DNA
I think it's more about like if you imagine your physical body being extended out into an energetic vibrational, like your ethereal body. Just getting to read, she goes through Hathor who was goddess in ancient Egypt. It's actually the particular type of sound healing that I do was channeled through my teacher from the Hathor. She goes through Isis, Kuan Yin, Green Tara, Mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, White Buffalo Half-Woman. You go through and you do these self-initiations with them and their key code that they have to seed within the collective, within humanity.
If you think of your most exciting sexual experiences where you were just in your most vital, primal nature, where the rapture is so expansive and insatiable until you reach this moment of climax where you’re meeting God, and everything feels like light is exploding all over the place, and your brain entirely turns off.
If you think of those moments and you apply the same kind of idea to a regular moment that has nothing to do with sex at all, what kind of vibration are you inviting into a space if you're doing that? - Vylana Marcus

Power Quotes From The Show The Transmutation
"When the energy has the permission to fully move in this full cycle where you’re holding nothing back, what typically happens is that it unveils the sadness, and the grief, and the fear that anger is protecting. The energy of your tears is the transmutation." - Vylana Marcus
Light And Dark Sides
"I can stand here and look at you, and I have done the work to know so deeply who I am in all of my light and my dark, and I know who I am enough to set a boundary and say, 'No, I don’t accept to participate in the world in this way against the patriarchy.' " - Vylana Marcus
Being Of The Highest Service
"How can I be of the highest service at this time, in this present moment? It’s not a practice that’s reaching, and grabbing, and trying to push forward, and make it happen. If you're really in that kind of energy, it takes away your ability to listen to the more subtle whispers. When you’re pushing and being so active like that, the tendency is for it to come through your mind.
There's so much more that we have available if we can slow down, listen for a moment, and actually ask for guidance through our heart." - Vylana Marcus
