In this episode of the 'Find Your Feminine Fire Podcast,' Amanda talks about what embodiment means and why it's important for better sex, intimacy, and connection. She explains how tuning into your body's wisdom can lead to real change.  Amanda shares what she's learned from coaching at embodiment retreats in Costa Rica, focusing on the healing benefits of group work and the non-linear path of personal growth. She also covers the language of sensations and the perks of practices like breathwork and pleasure-focused activities, showing how these can make life more vibrant, connected, and fulfilling. Key Takeaways from this Episode: Embodiment Basics: Amanda talks about how embodiment means tuning into your body's wisdom, which helps improve sex, intimacy, and connection. It's about getting in touch with what's happening beneath the surface, not just what's in your head. Healing in Groups: Being in a group can be super powerful for healing. Watching others grow and heal reminds you of your own potential. Plus, personal growth isn't a straight line—it's full of ups and downs, but you become more resilient over time.

The media often shows unrealistic body standards, so seeing real bodies helps you appreciate the beauty in diversity. Language of Sensations: Learning to understand your body's language is key. Your body talks to you through sensations—like feeling tight, tingly, or heavy. Tuning into these sensations can help you stay present and enhance your pleasure. Embodiment Practices: Practices like breathwork, dancing, and pleasure-focused activities help you connect with your body. These practices can lead to more creativity, better relationships, and overall well-being. Even simple things like noticing sensations can make a big difference.

Often, in the myriad twists and turns of our life journey, we find ourselves compartmentalizing various aspects of our lives.   When we are working, we are working, when we are playing, we are playing.  We separate our passions from our responsibilities, our dreams from reality, and most critically, our pleasure from our money.  But what if I told you that there's an untapped reservoir within you, where your sensual desires and your financial aspirations intertwine seamlessly? In this week's pod, we explore the intimate dance between our self-worth, pleasure, and money. Our relationship with money isn't just about numbers in a bank account; it's an extension of our relationship with ourselves. It's about our desires, our fears, and our profound yearning for joy, connection, and satisfaction.  When we allow ourselves to truly embrace pleasure, not as an indulgence but as a necessity, we pave the way for an enriched understanding of our financial selves. As you listen in, I'll invite you to reflect on your own experience.  How do your sensual experiences shape your perceptions of worth? How has society's narrative on pleasure influenced your financial decisions? And most importantly, how can we collectively shift towards a paradigm where our pursuit of pleasure empowers our sense of worthiness, and financial growth? Lastly, if this topic resonate with you, consider deepening your exploration by joining our sacred sensual self care community,  "The Pleasure Foundation". This September, we're delving into the intricate dance of pleasure and money, and we'd love to have you with us.
