Episode notes
Tantra Is Nervous System Work
- Tantra focuses more on nervous system regulation and embodiment than on sex itself.
- Michaela Boehm links tantra to using the body as a vehicle for spiritual and relational engagement.
Raised In An Affectionate, Active Home
- Michaela describes a childhood with affectionate parents, outdoor activity, and strict boundaries.
- She credits that upbringing for her comfort with bodies, nudity, and healthy relationship modeling.
Sameness Builds Relationship, Kills Spark
- Relationship stability comes from sameness, which over time reduces erotic friction.
- Opposites spark sexual tension; sameness builds long-term functioning but can kill erotic charge.
