3. The Tantra of Cringe

3. The Tantra of Cringe

in today's episode, your fave mystical lady monk brings a holy hammer to the big wall of cringe, revealing the tantric luminosity that is waiting on the other side to understand cringe culture, the collective wound beneath the cold performance of nonchalance must be exposed. This wound has been inflicted by the cruel suppression of eros, love and passion within the colonial paradigm. by reclaiming our erotic aliveness and celebrating the wild, passionate energies that run through our veins - not only do we liberate our joy and eros, but we also fuel ourselves towards the divine experience of knowing God(ess) through the body - a spiritual transfiguration known as theosis / divinisation. slurp and enjoy!

1. Why is everyone obsessed with looking at women's bodies?

The male gaze gets a lot of criticism these days. But seeking beauty is not wrong. It’s not wrong for men to gaze at the sensual form of a woman. It’s also not wrong for a woman to enjoy being seen as beautiful and desirable. It’s completely natural and utterly human. It’s the erotic design of the universe. Beauty is a portal into luminosity. Beauty and desire are fundamental ways that we experience love, pleasure and joy in sacred and holy ways. What if the problem isn’t the male gaze but the distorted way that patriarchy has taught men to look? What if most men simply haven’t been shown how to look at a woman as if she is the beloved? Rather than an object to be fucked, or a collection of angles to be filmed and masturbated over, the body of a woman is a living being of great cosmic depth, of creation, mystery, beauty and wisdom. She is a guide into love, a guide back home.
