#18: SEX-HACKING: HOW TO BECOME THE MASTER OF YOUR LUST WITH TANTRA | WITH YVONNE KEMPF
In this exciting episode, Patrick talks to Yvonne Kempf, a professional tantra masseuse and biohacker. You'll learn how tantra is much more than just sex and includes typical biohacking techniques such as meditation, yoga and breathing exercises to reach deeper levels of consciousness and presence during sex.
Yvonne shares her exciting approaches to ‘performance optimisation’ through slow, mindful practices that improve your sex life and overall wellbeing.
This episode is about tantra and the connection to biohacking. You will learn a number of things in this episode, such as
- Tantra is more than just a cliché: many people only associate tantra with sex, but it's about much more - meditation, yoga, breathing techniques and, above all, awareness of your own body and mind.
- Sexual energy is life energy: sexuality is not just physical, but an expression of life energy that flows through us all and keeps us alive.
- Expanding consciousness through touch: Tantra massage is about unintentional, mindful touch that focuses away from the goal and onto the experience in the here and now.
- Self-responsibility in your love life: Everyone is responsible for their own sexual fulfillment - this also means knowing yourself better and communicating these needs clearly.
- Slowness is the new performance optimization: In contrast to fast, performance-oriented everyday life, tantra is about mindfulness, slowness and deeper connection.
- Integration of biohacking and tantra: Tantra and biohacking can be wonderfully combined to harmonize body, mind and soul and increase well-being.
- Practical exercises to do at home: Even simple exercises such as the “living chair” or slow touching can help you to build a deeper connection with yourself and your partner.
