WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE FALL IN LOVE?

Tune in to Araminta's interview on the Commitment Phobe Podcast speaking about why it's powerful to give up the idea of finding the "one" and how romantic love/eros is a way to help one come into sacred union with oneself, rather than with another. "You are your own princess/prince."

We also talk about:
-The importance of being curious about the sacred messages behind our emotions.
-How to work through codependency and caretaking in relationship.
-Reframing the relationship with rage.
-Feeling what is right and wrong in every moment within us and standing up for that.
-What does it mean to listen to your body vs your head?
-How sexual desire/erotic energy is a way our body gets our attention to lead us towards a certain direction.
-How pleasure can heal us.
-The roles that projection and mirroring have when we fall in love.

                

LOVE POTION - RELATIONSHIPS & EVOLUTION

Take a dance of inquiry into romantic love. What meaning does your romantic relating provide in your life? What are our cultural beliefs, assumptions, and desires on what relationships should be like, feel like and bring us? Are you aware of the gifts and potential shadows of monogamy, open relating and celibacy? Does being "in love" activate the expansion of consciousness? Join ISTA Lead, Araminta, for a journey of self-inquiry into the psychology of romantic love and soul evolution.

What To Do When The Honeymoon Phase Ends

What happens when the "love potion" runs out? I jumped on the new ISTA Spiritual Sexual Shamanic podcast to discuss:

  • How to navigate when things get hard
  • Knowing if you should break up or hunker down
  • Understanding golden shadows in relationships
  • Why expectations and projections make relationships a minefield and how to go beyond them
  • How to know if you are addicted to the high of falling in love
  • Relationship as an opportunity to explore God and Goddess within yourself
  • How to navigate the intensity of break-up emotions
  • Grief as a precious messenger
  • Recognising where you seek outside yourself for sustenance  (it will never be fulfilled there!)

 

CONVERSATIONS ABOUT MEN

Araminta jumped on the podcast, Conversations About Men, with Gonzalos Salinas to discuss these challenging times on the planet, the link between our sexuality and our sovereignty, our creativity and our health.

Araminta shares about her background in academia, activism, and non-profit reproductive health organizations and how that led her to explore our human technology and why she know focuses on collaborating with ISTA and sexual shamanism.

CONSCIOUS RELATIONSHIP ENDINGS

So, what can we do about it?

Shadows in the Sisterhood - Raw Attraction Magazine

Shining a spotlight on the immature feminine in both women and men, this article published in Raw Attraction Magazine, explores the love-draining behaviours of the feminine dark arts – that stem from survival strategies to protect feeling our heart wounds.

Underneath all our masks and armour, resides an incredible yearning for authentic intimacy. By compassionate understanding of ourselves we open up doorways to healing from the past, nurture vulnerable expression in ourselves and others and enable the healthy sisterhood to emerge.

THE BLOOD MYSTERIES

Delighted to share some of my findings on the Blood Mysteries with the amazing Laurie Handlers. We cover why menstrual blood has been so shrouded in taboo, what cultures have done in the past and how education about this part of the life cycle is transforming.

WOMEN WHO SEE IN THE DARK

Supporting women to own their own inner masculine erotic energetic signatures, maturing them and stepping out of suppressing and judging their brothers.

Peace between the sheets or the genders wont come about by controlling and manipulating the other to fit into our ideals. Addressing the undercurrent of disdain many women have been taught to feel towards male sexuality reconciles once it is owned within.
