Episode 341: In this episode, Madelyn explores the concept of energy and spirit in relation to your limiting beliefs in love. She discusses how bodies reflect upper limits in relationships and the importance of challenging their habitual nature. Our beliefs deeply impact our interactions with others and shape our perspectives. By softening and taking responsibility, we can cultivate deeper connections and attract high-quality partners. Ultimately, our beliefs shape who enters our lives.Chapters:0:00:00 Intro0:00:48 Reemerging with a new video format for the podcast0:05:08 Exploring the shapes of limiting beliefs in relationships0:13:12 Recognizing the Energetic Presence of Others0:20:26 The Power of Beliefs and Body Language0:32:03 The Impact of Becoming Smaller in a Relationship0:40:04 Fear of expressing true feelings can cause damage in relationships.0:43:24 Limiting beliefs can attract experiences that reinforce those beliefs.0:50:16 Taking Responsibility for Our Relationship Culture0:51:45 Embracing the Spirit of Nature1:06:03 Strengthening your capacity and being penetrable by masculine energyConnect with Madelyn Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/madelynmoon/iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-madelyn-moon-show-previously-mind-body-musings/id866031519Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1QRkDbXYd5SXZm3b95iT56?si=fe8d4c2968404eebFree quiz: http://maddymoon.com/quizAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

But -- we have nothing to prove to them.The inspiration behind The Uncivilized Man Movement is the primitive man dealing with unexpressed emotions and pain.One of Traver's passions is to help men connect their emotions and feelings to something bigger than themselves so that they can be a better person.Traver wants to thank every woman who's bought his book and spread his message.With power comes great responsibility, and being in a man's body does bring great power. In other words, don't apologize for being born as a man. Do something good with it.The Uncivilized Man Movement's mantra is to let others feel safe as you walk among them.Biology exists, and it needs to be recognized. For that reason, no matter how many books we read and how much money we make, our biology has to be tended to.What can we do for men? Encourage, celebrate and support them.All men have a green light and a red light inside of them.A couple fighting to be in the alpha role will cause harm to the relationship. As a result, it is going to be a power struggle and a pissing contest.For Traver, the depth of the word "safety" is something he had to learn by himself. Now, he helps men to comprise and create it.Traver Boehm is perplexed by the state of our culture. Right now, he feels people are digging their heels against the pendulum — a kind of middle ground unto itself."The women are the message spreaders of the world."Traver feels that as the dominant in the room, men are responsible for the women.

Episode 337: Traver Boehm - https://www.manuncivilized.com - knows men. How they think, what’s behind their behavior, and most importantly — their unique challenges in the modern landscape. Traver is the founder of the UNcivilized Men’s Movement, the fastest growing men’s movement in the world. He is the author of Today I Rise, and Man UNcivilized as well as a two time TEDx speaker, men’s coach and podcaster. Drawing upon an eclectic background ranging from professional bodyguarding and Mixed Martial Arts to a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and meditation, Traver counsels men, women, and couples on how to better understand men’s mental health and relationship difficulties.In this episode, originally recorded as a live-class episode of Traver's podcast. Raw and unfiltered, Madelyn and Traver discuss artistry and generosity, purity culture, sensuality, how to make art in triggered moments, polarity, devotion, and healing the wounds that are keeping us at a distance from those we want to love and love well.COACHING: Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coachingSISU SOCIETY: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-societyFEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spiritShow Notes:Traver will also appear on Mind Body Musings soon.Speaking to an audience who may be unfamiliar with her, Madelyn discusses her study in yogic intimacy and her upbringing in purity culture.Purity culture is essentially slut-shaming at its core, wholesale denial of feminine sexuality.An extension of this is also the way that women speak of each other and their gender. "I'm not like most girls," or, "Don't worry; I'm not crazy."During her time in bodybuilding, Madelyn found that having been raised to believe and assume that men are "better" than women was contributing to her building physical armor around her emotional truth.Being unable to cope with the "curvature of life" manifested as OCD; living through an eating disorder manifested because of being unable to cope with the curvature of body.A woman revealing to her partner the part of her that is "lost," she is letting go of everything her body has been taught/forced/compelled to do.Being able to be sharp and then go into softness is part of the privilege of being a man.Richard Rudd - The Gene Keys - the highest form of love is to arrive just as you are, beyond the things you're into, beyond what you're practicing. "I don't need you to do anything." More Richard Rudd here: maddymoon.com/richard-rudd/Madelyn explores the concept of approaching dating as a practice - holding your body to transmit, "I'm open. I'm present."One of the primary masculine challenges - there's tremendous anger toward the feminine in the masculine."Entitlement is a big piece of what men need to work through."Three Stages of CommunicationBased on The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida – https://amzn.to/3i2REUUFirst Stage: Reactive, the way most people are interacting.When one feels triggered, repressive reaction, silent treatment, withholding love, punishing, spiritual bypassing.Second Stage: Everyone needs more of this - talk therapy, clear, "When you did X, I felt Y, and I desire ..."This is formatted and structured - very much in the masculine domain.Third Stage: revealing truth as a gift to our partner.Instead of an accusatory, "You always do this to me," transformed into a statement in the name of love, with love.Madelyn has worked on connecting to the part of her that's heartbroken. The heartbroken part is the same part that wants to be an offering."There's no part of heartbroken-ness that wants distance.The first step of elevating relationship into artistry: Recognize your complaint in the relationship.Madelyn is incubating the idea of some sort of show related to her work - polarity dating show?

Episode 336: Yogic intimacy and Tantra are spiritual embodiment practices that both encompass and extend beyond sex. Madelyn has been focusing on Tantra to complement the Yogic intimacy work she's been engaged with for years. Learning just basic physical intimacy is a challenge for many of us, let alone exploring and enhancing by engaging the physical with the spiritual, and the masculine with the feminine. Madelyn has been focused more on her TikTok and Instagram these days, as she's been using visual components to teach these concepts. In this episode Madelyn catches up on what she's been up to and explores some tools and practices available to bring art to our intimacy.COACHING: Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coachingSISU SOCIETY: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-societyFEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spiritShow Notes:Madelyn's intention is to now release one podcast episode per month.The podcast is no longer at the forefront of her prerogatives as a teacher.Follow Madelyn on Instagram and TikTok, where she's taking her polarity teaching with a visual component. This will be her focus for her time.Madelyn welcomes your feedback on the new plan!Artistic Intimacy Workshop: maddymoon.com/artisticThis is a two-hour workshop on how to bring art into your intimate life.Madelyn has been doing a Tantra course, supplementing the Yogic intimacy she's been studying and teaching.Men often deplete their chi or lifeforce through ejaculation - women 'get' energy and are energized via sex and orgasm.One of the prime quests of the male's journey to living a Tantric lifestyle is to prolong or delay ejaculation, orgasm without ejaculation.In Tantra you are vitalized by multiple orgasms, but physical ejaculation is depleting.Much of Madelyn's work to date has approached from the more spiritual, less physical side of intimacy.This is largely due to the purity culture in which she was raised.When she was young, Madelyn wore a ring symbolizing her marriage with God.While that was part of a negative purity culture, she has adapted the concept and considers herself married to a personal god, and connects with this through the sensual.Sisu Society has changed and evolved.

Episode 334: As more and more of us as individuals and as a society become aware of our own feminine/masculine and engaging in conscious embodiment, the path to equilibrium in a relationship can sometimes feel like it's become more and more difficult. The "bold masculine" impulse to operate by mandates, to organize and structure, can conflict with the more important and valuabe acts of simply being present.In this episode, originally recorded for The Rising Man podcast, Madelyn and host Jeddy Azuma discuss boundaries, the bold masculine, and the intersection of embodiment and intimacy.COACHING: Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coachingSISU SOCIETY: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-societyFEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spiritShow Notes:Madelyn participated in this conversation on Jeddy Azuma's The Rising Man podcast - https://maddymoon.com/rising-manThere's a workshop next week - Artistic Intimacy - maddymoon.com/artisticIf you're interested in using feminine (energy) and masculine (consciousness) energetics in your day-to-day life, know that there's a playful way to handle conflict in your relationship, and are fed up with closed-hearted "lol okay" statements but don't know how to escape that space, this workshop is for you.What is the difference between a boy and a man?A boy has energy of either tiptoeing or stomping on eggshells.A man is more even-keel eggshell walking, more confident, more present in himself, more breath in the way he'll live his life.His presence allows her to be more at ease.Madelyn had to reprogram her constructs from upbringing - that certain emotions were "wrong."When she started on her embodiment path, she learned to use her physical body to reveal anger, reveal grief.This led to her presenting herself in relationships more in real time, avoiding language that leans on shame and blame.The masculine can be characterized as consciousness, depth, nothingness - the container.The feminine can be characterized as energy, motion, chaos - what fills the container.Women often get caught off guard when a man finally arrives at being in touch with his emotions, which can lead to defensiveness from both.Whoever is more consumed and focused on more love in the relationship, is the one in the feminine.You cannot be penetrated by life when you're constantly setting up boundaries - think of a sandbox instead.Setting boundaries is not about trying to create separation and walls.Men can feel dry and boring after too much focus on providing the stability they perceive as being asked of them, and deprioritizing adventure.Women want your truth - don't say yes if you mean no.Feeling the "no" within a "yes" is damaging to trust in a relationship.Be authentically present through eye contact, aftercare, awareness, not necessarily analyzing and structuring.Sometimes the more valuable work is done by not "working" on it, but being present for it.Connect with Madelyn: Facebook: https://facebook.com/moonfitness/Instagram: https://instagram.com/madelynmoon/Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes: http://maddymoon.com/itunesDownload my Four Favourite Feminine Embodiment Practices: https://maddymoon.com/freegiftAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

A girlfriend at 18 suggested she explore becoming a dominatrix.At this point is when she stepped into her own sexual power. "Oh, my sex isn't for other people."Previously sex had largely been transactional, not done for enjoyment.Now she was able to use people's kinks (often expression of pain and trauma as a filter to experience pleasure through) to bring them through their trauma and into healing.Genevieve was raped at age 13, but didn't consciously acknowledge it as such until later in life.She was later able reclaim it through work with a partner.When people who are not experiencing pleasure due to trauma are able to reclaim it, they invariably realize that it was because they were terrified of the power of their pleasure. They were protecting themselves from pleasure.She had to learn how to be intimate and gentle with herself.Many of Genevieve's mentors are much older, and the death of one of these friends and guides became a regular and frequent reality for her.Genevieve has been non-monogamous (Shapeshifter Erotic Blueprint) for as long as she can remember - her lovers are like family or best friends.Her partner was new to even the concept, so it has been a process of communication, acknowledging triggers will occur and utilize them to confront their fears together.Genevieve's book: Fuck Yourself Open has more detail on Genevieve's 20+ years of erotic exploration through her lived experience and gifts you the simple, effective tools to reclaim your body and its innate wisdom, once and for all - https://amzn.to/2NTfnNDYour pleasure is your responsibility!Connect with Genevieve:Join The Pleasure Circle here: http://genevievepleasure.com/free/Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Episode 331: Most of us know about the Hero's Journey, the narrative template wherein the "hero" undergoes a series of patterns by which he actually becomes the hero. But what about the heroine? The feminine Heroine's Journey obviously doesn't follow the same pattern and has its own nuance and particulars. In special episode, Madelyn presents one of her full sessions from Sisu Society, outlining how to consider your own truth and story through the lens of the Heroine's Journey as described by authors Maureen Murdock and Camy Tang.COACHING: Discover more at https://maddymoon.com/coachingSISU SOCIETY: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/sisu-societyFEMININE SPIRIT SCHOOL: Join here: https://maddymoon.com/feminine-spiritShow Notes:This episode is a special full class from Sisu Society.Purchase the Sisu Society for 10% off using code MINDBODYMUSINGS: maddymoon.com/sisu-societyThis is about being brilliantly resilient in your feminine.Come back to your most pure, original, effortless state, which is being loved and being open.You have probably been living The Heroine's Journey unconsciously your entire life.The Hero's Journey is about what a man will endure through his life to become his own hero.Joseph Campbell said The Hero's Journey takes men to the place that women have been all along.Author Maureen Murdock disagrees with this somewhat and believes there's more to it. Get the book The Heroine's Journey here - https://amzn.to/2YZPXA7The Hero's Journey is about "things that happen," while The Heroine's Journey is more about transformation, disembodying and associating.Women's leadership and women's sexuality are two prominent fronts in the modern Heroine's Journey.Write or consider your own story as fiction.This allows you to get distance from it, as well as explore concepts and areas you might avoid or not give yourself permission to explore in nonfictional consideration, such as memoir.Madelyn then walks through Camy Tang's Heroine's Journey worksheet - available here: maddymoon.com/camy-tang-worksheetNumber one: the illusion of the perfect world.Think of a time before a big change - what was something you needed, that you didn't know at the time?What archetype were you inhabiting at the time?Number two: separation from the feminine, something that "jarringly separates you from the voice in your womb."Not necessarily traumatic or bad, but something that changed your path - the call to adventure.What is the thing that happened to you? And how did you lose what you cared about, what you thought you needed to have?Don't judge yourself - this isn't about guilt or correction. Focus on what it's bringing up for you.Number three: the point of no return, and the preparation of the journey.The identification of the masculine.When did you separate from the feminine and how did you identify with the masculine?Number four: the descent - the journey into the underworld.This is the part where you'll experience the most trials.Number five: the illusion of success.Life is full of exquisite expansion and contraction, and going into contraction isn't failure or a less important part than the expansion or success.Number six: death.All is lost, the black moment.All is taken, the ultimate bathroom-floor breakdown, divine opening.This is the moment where you are face-to-face with the ultimate fork in the road or inflection point.Number seven: surrender.You've surrendered, and your "spiritual team" rallies around you, and you come back into the feminine.Number eight: healing with the mother, rebirth, and healing with the wounded masculine.Now coming into the space of conscious masculinity in rhythm with the feminine.Now it's about coming back into the world.Number nine: return to the perfect world, master of two worlds, freedom to live, final reward, integration.Think about your relationship with the feminine at different stages compared to it now.Be present even in the chaos.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands
