Hi, it's Devman and welcome to this bonus episode.

Now, this one's a little different.

You see, when I hear people talking about conscious sensuality in tantra, it's generally misunderstood.

People assume tantra is about strange sexual positions, but it's really not. It's about a connection with your deeper sensuality.

It's about building confidence. It's about being the person you are and being proud of it, just as you are.

The essence of conscious sensuality covers many bases.

It's a deeply powerful technique.

So today I'd like to share a story with you.

One that's quietly powerful, deeply human.

It's about a woman that I will call Christy to protect her privacy.

All the details in the story are true.

So if you're in a place where you'd prefer not to listen to stories about intimate life and sexuality,

you might want to skip this one. For everyone else, just take a nice deep breath and let it go with a sigh,

listening with an open heart and mind.

Christy first came to me at 46.

She'd been in a long-term relationship for many years.

To the outside world, everything looked well ordinary.

They shared her home, routines, responsibilities, even children. But inside,

she felt invisible, she felt neglected. She told me she felt unwanted, undesired, like the person

everyone relied on, to keep the home together.

She did the dishes, but she wasn't seen as a sensual, vibrant person.

She wasn't seen as a complete human.
