This conversation seems to fly by, and we get to a lot of places in it. From being present to life, to how women can better receive men’s vulnerability, naming the fear, the idea of regular check-ins for relationships, sharing impact versus interpreting intention, and allowing ourselves and others to grow and change.
Deeper Intimacy
#296: How Tantra Can Ignite Your Life and Relationships – Sara and Sachijo Stout
Tantra is an ancient teaching that, when explored and brought into one’s life and relationships, can energize, enliven, and create a depth of intimacy many people don’t even know exists.

With all the stress and intensity most people are facing these days, it can be hard to generate the amount of energy and aliveness you need to get through a day, let alone more of your life, let alone create an exciting and intimate sex life!
I am always on the lookout for what supports myself and my clients — for things that add, rather than drain, energy, because most of us honestly can’t afford to lose any, and it would be helpful to have more!
Today I brought Sara and Sachijo Stout to the Man Alive podcast to discuss tantra, and the incredible ways it can bring more aliveness, pleasure and intimacy to your life and love life! Married for over 25 years, Sara & Sachijo have balanced their lives as parents and working professionals, with “the art of intimate relating.” They are teachers for SkyDancing Tantra and have created their own series of workshops as well.
In our deep and beautiful conversation we discussed…
- What a tantric dynamic is and what tantra adds to relationships and one’s life when single
- How to create sacred space and use it for everything from decision making, to conflict resolution, to love making
- How to make a NO as sexy as a YES
- The anti-ecstatic conspiracy
- Catching the stories and ideas we hold against each other in relationships
- How to learn to receive more
When you’re done with this one, check out this episode on the unexamined reasons sex and intimacy fades in relationships.
Here’s to you leaning on the tools and resources that are available to create more love and pleasure for yourself!
