We explore the importance of confident vulnerability and trust, and navigating the turbulent terrain non-monogamy offers us all, more or less. We while also tap into a much needed stark discussion on the shadow side of polyamory.

Douglas Tataryn is a clinical psychologist whose Bio-Emotive Framework brings us to the core of Emotional Intelligence. What is the Bio-Emotive Framework? It is an approach to emotional intelligence that enables us the release of emotional repression and the healing of past traumas. It gives us the tools to not only identify and delineate the core feelings directing our behaviors, but also an understanding of what is standing in the way of a happy, fully-embodied life. We talk about the difference between emotions and feelings; the effect past experiences have in manipulating our view of the world in the present; the rampant condition of 'cultural alexithymia', how to connect, understand and release feelings that aren't serving you; and the vital role body awareness plays in our emotional intelligence. This an episode I think EVERYONE can benefit from listening to.   Full Show Notes: http://bit.ly/ATTMindRadioEp26 Support The Podcast PayPal Donation Patreon Other Options (including bitcoin)

In this episode of ATTMind Radio, we welcome Oliver Quintanilla, director of the documentary Little Saints. The tagline for his movie is "eat a mushroom, talk to God", so you can probably assume that the content of this episode will be interesting, to say the least. His film was truly one of the most vulnerable documentaries on psychedelics I have seen (and I've seen a lot). It was great to take a peak at the state of ceremonial use of psilocybin in contemporary Mexico. However, I wasn't prepared for was the potency of Catholicism that is present within it! It was great to pick Oliver's brain about the evolution of psilocybin's role in religious ceremonies in Mexico over the last few hundred years, the connection between "spiritual healing" and physical healing, why he made this movie, and what effect he has seen it produce throughout its screening tour. And of course, we talk about how he got into psilocybin and the role it played in his life growing up in Mexico.   Full Show Notes: http://bit.ly/ATTMindRadioEp24 Support The Podcast PayPal Donation Patreon Other Options (including bitcoin)

Alternatively, I was gonna call this episode “A big YES to Sacred Sex”, but felt perhaps something a bit more specific would be relevant. But let that be an inclination as to what this episode will be offering. Steven Seva Roland is a Canadian Tantra and Sacred Intimacy workshop facilitator, coach, mentor, and author.   We talk personal stories and practical techniques for developing deeply intimately sexual connections. But of course, no episode on Tantric Sexuality would be complete without discussion arousal control in men as well as the cultivation of male non-ejaculatory orgasms.    Full Show Notes: http://bit.ly/ATTMindRadioEp21 Support The Podcast PayPal Donation Patreon Other Options (including bitcoin)
