Goddess Amina on Tantra & Somatics - Ep 41

In this episode, the Goddess Amina tells us her story from running away at age fourteen to becoming the tantric powerhouse that she is today. She explains the import of somatic healing and expounds on her belief that your orgasm is expansive energy, a way to experience your higher self. And her goal is to guide you home to your body, where your magic lives. She teaches us about energy systems and their cultural appropriation. And she explains how clearing sexual shame, guilt and fear can heal our mind, body and spirit. Please join us for another magical episode of Open Deeply.

She is also the host of the Fix Your Sex Podcast. Her path began as a Sex Surrogate working with Dr. Dean Dauw in 1997. In 2004, she began practicing massage after completing a 500 hour program at the New Chicago School of Bodywork and Massage. That training opened her eyes to a variety of erotic healing modalities, including neo tantra and esalen. She is a graduate of the University of IL (B.A. Sociology), a Reiki Master, and a yoga instructor (Core Power & Tantra). Her resume highlights accolades that include a combined 20+ years of work in non-profit management, and a bodywork background that includes work as a birth doula, personal trainer, and fitness coach. Her extensive background in fitness and health has made her work especially focused on helping lovers heal their wounds related to body image, sexual abuse, self-esteem and identity.
