Can Pleasure Lead us to Awakening? ~ Lin Holmquist

Pleasure is something that is so often seen as an enemy of being spiritual. So many religions will teach us that you have to choose between following your pleasure or following God. Yet Tantra says the opposite. Tantra says: let pleasure take you home. Let pleasure awaken you. Let pleasure bring you back to your true self. In this episode, I chat with Tantric Therapist Lin Holmquist, who is passionate about pleasure as a way to awaken back to our true self, our divine nature. We cover questions such as: * How is it that pleasure can be part of our awakening?  * What do we do with the guilt and shame around pleasure?  * How can we heal shame? * How can we awaken our capacity for pleasure? * What is the difference between hedonism and Tantra? * Is the path of pleasure about avoiding pain and negative feelings? * How do we find pleasure in the pain? Plus Lin shares about her own kundalini awakening experience, and how this taught her the pleasure of being in her true self.
