Shadow work isn’t just a concept—it’s the gateway to your deepest transformation. In this excerpt from the Living Tantra Retreat in Bali, we dive into the unconscious parts of ourselves that Carl Jung called “the shadow.” These hidden aspects often sabotage our lives, relationships, and inner peace, but what if they’re actually our greatest teachers?Through breath, sound, and movement, you’ll learn how to face these shadows head-on, uncovering the jewels they hold for your personal growth. From the victim and control freak to the wounded child and sabotager, we all carry shadows that whisper in our ears and hold us back. But ignoring them is like trying to keep a beach ball underwater—it’ll only smack you in the face harder.This episode explores: • Why shadow work is the quickest path to lasting transformation • How suppressed parts of yourself can become allies instead of enemies • The key question most people forget to ask their shadows: What do you need? • Why embodiment—not just cognitive understanding—is essential for true changeIf you’re ready to stop playing small and step into your power, this is your invitation. Join us at the next Living Tantra Retreat in Bali to experience these life-changing practices firsthand. It’s time to confront what’s holding you back and ignite the fire of transformation within. Are you ready?Quotes from this episode:"Shadow work is by far my favorite work out of all of this body of work, because it’s the quickest path to transformation, to that metamorphosis, and out the other side of this, through the unconscious, you actually see that these shadows are our greatest teachers and are there with these jewels for us, our allies.”“The key piece that most people don’t do around shadows is asking that shadow: What is it that you need? What do you want? Because I keep trying to push you away, and you keep knocking at my door—clearly you’re trying to tell me something.”---Ready to embark on your own transformative journeyJoin Living Tantra Retreat - Bali on April 5-12, 2025: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/event/living-tantra-retreat-bali-2025/Join Living Tantra Retreat - Portugal on Nov 2-9, 2025: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/event/living-tantra-retreat-portugal-2025/---Join our newsletter for the latest news and promos: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.activehosted.com/f/3Find out more about our courses: www.embodiedawakeningacademy.com

Every Trigger Is a Doorway to Liberation
In today’s episode of Love, Sex, and Freedom, Raven and Tara guide us on a journey through Tantra as a pathway to release trauma and return to our true essence. Raven shares from her own experience, revealing how her previous analytical approach to healing shifted profoundly when she embraced Tantra. Through this practice, she learned to surrender the need for mental explanations, instead allowing stuck energy to release naturally. “Tantra invites us to feel fully and trust the body’s wisdom to heal,” she explains. Rather than dissecting the past, Tantra calls us to honor and release the emotions that arise—fear, anger, sadness—letting them flow without resistance.Raven invites us to explore practices such as deep breathing, shaking, and self-compassion as ways to reconnect with ourselves, free from judgment or analysis. With a gentle prompt, she asks, “What am I feeling now?” as a key to open the door to inner healing. For those who feel burdened by past pain or crave true emotional liberation, this episode serves as a powerful call to come home to oneself, embracing the body’s natural wisdom to release and restore wholeness.Key takeaways from this episode:- [01:10] Understanding Tantra and Trauma- [02:45] Primal Triggers and Personal Unconscious- [04:32] Validating and Processing Emotions- [24:29] The Importance of Daily Practice- [30:47] The Power of Sexual Energy in Healing- [39:11] Trust and Tantra in Relationships- [42:41] Tantra Techniques for Trauma ReleaseQuotes: “Every trigger is a doorway into liberation… to truly free ourselves, we must feel what’s here now, without judgment or resistance.”“In Tantra, we’re not trying to pinpoint past experiences; instead, it’s about going into the body and allowing stuck energy to release naturally.”Links from Episode:- Tanta 101: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/elementor-63692/- Embodied Awakening Academy: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com- Upcoming Living Tantra Retreats: https://embodiedawakeningacademy.com/ltrglobal
