Season 1, Episode 188: Lisa Citore – Pleasure Activist, Sex Educator, Writer & Coach

Today’s guest is Lisa Citore. Lisa is a Pleasure Activist. Performance Artist. Writer. Sex Educator. Coach. She has extensive knowledge and training in the tantric arts and Goddess practices and has been coaching men and women and leading sexuality workshops for over a decade. In 2015 she offers her Women’s Sexual Mystery School®, where women of all ages and experience can cultivate their sensuality, vitality, creative expression and feminine bodily wisdom.

Lisa started a year-long blogging experiment to explore the relationship between pleasure and women’s health. She’s sharing her experiences, thoughts, and wisdom along the way as part of her daily practice.

In her own transformational journey around sexual abuse, Lisa is a thriving example that within our wounds lie our greatest gifts. She offers a variety of programs-including sex positive talks, power pleasure sessions and sexuality liberating intensives at universities, conferences, and festivals on the relationship between pleasure and women’s health, creativity and empowerment.

Lisa is laughing, loving and fucking her way through middle age, inspiring both men and women to new possibilities for sex, relationship, and global stewardship. As far as she is concerned, the modern sexual crisis is no less important than the environmental one, and more related than we think.

Season 1, Episode 187: Dr. Josh Gressel – Clinical Psychologist & Author

Today’s guest is Dr. Josh Gressel. Josh is a clinical psychologist with a private practice in the San Francisco Bay area and is a student of Jewish mysticism.

Josh believes that most people experience envy every single day, and that most of them don’t know what to do about it, except feel ashamed. But burying the feelings doesn’t help. Josh believes you can learn from your envy; and if you learn how to pay attention to it, it can even help you become happier and more fulfilled.

Josh’s new book, Embracing Envy: Finding the Spiritual Treasure in Our Most Shameful Emotion, talks about some of the deeper meanings behind what we envy, and concrete steps we can take to use our envy to become better versions of ourselves.

To learn more about Josh, you can go to www.JoshGressel.com.

Embracing Envy: Finding the Spiritual Treasure in Our Most Shameful Emotion by Josh Gressel (UPA, 2014)

Envy is a universal emotion, yet people are very reluctant to confess their envy of another. In Embracing Envy, Josh Gressel (Season 1, Episode 187) suggests it is our shame at admitting we feel inferior to another person that keeps envy so hidden.

Through interviews with everyday people, reviews of mainstream psychological research, and lessons from wisdom literature, this book delves into how envy can be seen as meaningful and useful in our daily lives.

Season 1, Episode 185: Asking for Help

Today, Michael is joined by Consciously Speaking regular, Heather Hans. Heather and Michael will be discussing asking for help – why we’re sometimes reluctant to do so, when it’s important to do it anyway, and how we all benefit from it.

We are a society, a community – nothing is done without some form of support. We are all standing on the shoulders of our ancestors. If you think you’ve developed the best software app ever, and you did it all on your own; think again. What about the person who invented the computer to make your work possible? And then the person who invented the chip to make that computer possible, and the person who invented electricity to make that possible, and on and on.

For clarification on the “misquote” I use in the show; here it is with accuracy (if you can believe what you find on the internet):

I’d rather have one percent of the efforts of 100 people than 100 percent of my own efforts. – J. Paul Getty

Heather Hans is a professional speaker, video host, producer, artist, and consultant, using her experience, skills and talents to teach people how to love themselves and each other. You can find out more about Heather at www.HeatherHans.com.

Season 1, Episode 184: Guided Meditation #26 with Grace Clayton

In Consciously Speaking’s Guided Meditation Series we’ve covered all sorts of meditations with guest guides from around the globe. Today, we’re going to mix it up even further. If you are part of a mindful tribe, this may seem natural for you; and if you’re not, it may seem implausible, if not altogether impossible. However, I hope you will trust that it is something that anyone can create with simple effort.

It is a social meditation. That is, sitting down with your friends and family at a gathering, perhaps a holiday event of some sort, and taking a few moments to become centered and quiet. Meditating together, generating a group presence.

Today’s guided meditation will be led by Grace Clayton (Season 1, Episode 125). Grace is a leader, teacher, mentor and facilitator at OneShift, an organization devoted to empowering and igniting conscious leaders.

This group meditation was recorded on the veranda of her home at an Independence Day celebratory gathering. As this meditation takes place outdoors, you may notice some extraneous noises. Let them enter your meditation with ease.

Perhaps you can try this sit with your own family and friends.

Enjoy!
