On enhancing arousal and pleasure with herbs, yoni eggs & psychedelics [ft Usha Rose, Juliana Rose Goldstone + myself]

Your pleasure is a superpower. Not metaphorically. Actually. And I'm not just talking orgasms and clitoral stimulation, though that's certainly a huge pathway to pleasure. Instead I mean, connecting to what feels good - uniquely, in your body, to you. And that's different for everyone. But in starting to pay attention to anything that feels good, you start inviting the possibility for more pleasure in your life because you can seek more of that. Is it sun on your skin, the feeling of warm water running over your hands, the smell of jasmine, dancing in a certain way, and what about in the bedroom?  Before you even attempt sexual arousal, what is sensually pleasing?Are you someone who's always go-go-go or feeling burnt out and barely have a libido? Or are you feeling numb or blocked or like you don't even have an idea of where to start?How do you begin to uncover what unlocks your pleasure if you don't already know? If any of these questions get you curious, this week's episode medley is for you. First, I share a little about arousal, the importance of prioritizing pleasure and why I think the term "aphrodisiac" is close to meaningless. Plus you'll get a quick glimpse into the first category of herbs that may be supportive for enhancing your arousal.Next Usha Rose speaks about the yoni egg practice as a supportive way to deepen connection to your body, enhance orgasmic potential and offer prevention and even treatment for certain pelvic health imbalances (like urinary incontinence, for example).And finally Juliana Rose Goldstone share about how psychedelics can be a tool to help expand your perception of what's possible in your erotic embodiment and "sexual wholeness," and how that works from the lens of neural pathways. I hope this wide range of pathways to pleasure inspires you to connect with your own. *And yes, you guessed it, I'm doing this medley bc I'm sick... but what better topic to talk about than aspiring to feeling good what I'm feeling like crud? Send your prayers for full and easy recovery please, I welcome them wholeheartedly. Resources:Today's shownotes: On enhancing arousal and pleasureEpisode 27: Sex + Psychedelics with Juliana Rose GoldstoneEpisode 39: Yoni eggs and the practice of pleasure with Usha RoseEpisode 52: Beyond aphrodisiacsEpisode 64: Vagus nerve and arousalEpisode 65: Grief & Pleasure w Stacey RamsowerIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!
