| Exploring Addiction as Spiritual Path | |

Tamihay expressed her belief in the sensual nature of addiction and how it can lead to a deeper connection with oneself. Rachel introduced the concept of the Sutras, a body of work that views addiction as a path to genius and spiritual growth. She emphasized the importance of unhooking the addictive impulse from finite sources and plugging it into infinite sources like creativity, purpose, and practice. The discussion also touched on the idea of releasing shame associated with addiction and embracing the natural eroticism of human beings. | |
| Consent and Personal Experiences Discussed | |
| In the meeting, Shannon, Rachel, Jamin, and Lynne discussed their personal experiences and the importance of consent in their relationships. Jamin shared his journey of suppressing his wild nature and how it affected his life, while Lynne talked about her experience with an interdenominational workshop that gave her permission to understand her child's sexuality. Rachel explained the practice of asking for an Ohm, emphasizing the importance of consent and the ability to say yes or no. The group also discussed the structure of the practice, which is the same every time, regardless of the situation or participants. | |
| Explaining the "Ohm" Stroking Practice | |
| Rachel explained the process of a practice called the "Ohm," which involves a stroking partner and a person being stroked. The stroking partner wears gloves and uses lubrication, while the person being stroked is naked from the waist down. The stroking partner follows a specific pattern and pressure, and the person being stroked can make adjustments by requesting changes in pressure or speed. The practice involves a series of safe ports and a timer, with the stroking partner providing frames, or sensory snapshots, at the end of the practice. The entire process takes about 22 minutes, with the actual stroking lasting 15 minutes. | |
| Safety in Intimate Experiences Discussed | |
| Lynne and Rachel discussed the importance of safety in intimate experiences, emphasizing the need for consent and trust. Rachel shared her personal experience of learning to trust her feelings and internal safety, and the importance of communication in the practice. George, a surfer, shared his perspective on safety, emphasizing the importance of comfort and familiarity with one's environment. The conversation concluded with a discussion on the role of anticipation and relaxation in enhancing safety. | |
| Cultivating Fearless Intimacy and Empathy | |
| The discussion revolved around the importance of cultivating a fearless and intimate relationship with every moment, as emphasized by George. Rachel agreed and shared her insights on the practice of orgasmic meditation, highlighting its role in promoting a mystical state and reducing pressure around sex. She also mentioned a study on the safety and efficacy of this practice for individuals with PTSD. Anne brought up the challenges faced by individuals with Asperger's syndrome and PTSD in translating empathy into daily intimate life, to which Rachel responded by sharing her perspective on autism and Asperger's as oversensitivity in an insensitive world. The conversation concluded with Rachel emphasizing the importance of learning and teaching about how individuals on the spectrum operate. | |
| Company's Sexual Wellness Practices Discussed | |
| Rachel and Elizabeth discussed their experiences with a company that offered sexual wellness practices. Rachel, who has been practicing since 2007, clarified that the company was not involved in the practices that Elizabeth had previously been concerned about. Rachel explained that the company had faced controversy and was eventually shut down in 2018, but they continued their work through a non-profit organization. They have since expanded their programs to include food giveaways, prison rehabilitation, and a women's movement. Rachel emphasized the importance of not believing everything in the media and doing one's own due diligence before forming an opinion. | |
| Rachel's Insights and Personal Reflections | |

She also mentioned her upcoming book, "Aligning like a river," and her recent experience of booking a solo trip to the mountains, emphasizing the importance of self-care and staying true to one's needs.
