107: Unlocking the Body’s Armor for Sensual Expansion with Liz Letchford

We live in a culture that is obsessed with obtaining perfection,
and as a result, can ignore the needs of the body to favor the
image of fantasy. The issue here is that the body cannot sustain
this. After awhile, she starts to break down, become ill, ache,
fail. And it’s doing nothing for our sensuality, pleasure, +
sexuality. Dr Liz Letchford is here to talk to us about the
shadow side of the fitness industry, how our emotions affect our
body’s functioning, + how sensuality can heal.


In this episode you’ll hear:


What causes our body to become tense + rigid + how this
impacts our pleasure + sex

How old messages + distressing events from our past have
built as rigidity + less sensitivity + pleasure potential
overtime

How tense pelvic floor muscles impact our orgasmic potential

Trauma + mental health’s impact on the body + sensuality

Sensuality as medicine - how it heals

The impact of mental health on young women’s bodies +
performance in athletics

The shadow side of fitness + how it can contribute to
disconnection from the needs of the body

Practices to release the body’s armor + experience greater
flow of energy + pleasure
