SEXUALITY, SPIRITUALITY & RELATIONSHIPS W/ ANAIYA SOPHIA | SOC PODCAST EPISODE #1

Anaiya is an author and mystic of the gnostic Christian path - we had a discussion around how Anaiya found her path as well as some of the concepts in her books.

3:20 - how do the teachings of Jesus & Mary translate to now?

4:30 - how are you spreading the conscious message/spreading the light to others in your daily life?

6:45 - what's a good way to start getting in tune with the higher consciousness? (alchemy and transcending duality)

9:00 - how do we let go of preferences along the spiritual journey? (The left hand path of Tantra)

12:05 - having a spiritual/sacred relationship

15:45 - how did Anaiya's journey begin? introduction to the concept of Darshan

20:31 - leapfrogging in consciousness - staying at the love vibration after a 10 day silent retreat and having the heart wide open and then having the dark night of the soul following shortly after.

22:30 - what is the dark night of the soul? it comes when you've pushed open the spiritual door and after your first few steps into the journey - when you know you can't go back.

25:00 - how did you unlearn the conditioning around sexuality? five rhythms, learning to feel comfortable with your body with expressing yourself through dance.

28:00 - why sexuality is important for us - it helps everything flourish from finances to bodily health.

28:45 - what can we look out for if we don't heal our sexuality? sexuality makes our heart generous and compassionate, if it's not healed we won't have a relationship with the animals or the planet. We make decisions with the mind instead of the heart, anything feminine will be avoided.

30:45 - what does healing our species as a whole look like? introduce massage into the education system to allow children to be comfortable with their bodies at a young age.

32:50 - what topics do you enjoy writing about? sexuality, particularly in women. Recently changing over to the mystical teachings and gnosis - which is an experience where you have a direct communication with the divine.

35:20 - what is required for us to have revelations about our lives? We need initiations, like a right of passage such as in tribal times.

37:45 - how could we bring about initiations for those seeking them? Pete and Anaiya use caves in France to host initiations in pitch blackness for hours.

41:15 - the power of nature can remove the layer of laziness imposed by technology and modern living.

42:45 - Anaiya imparts her wisdom on us - the 5 realities. We are a physical being, a sexual being, an emotional being, a psychological being and we are a spiritual being. The soul is the realm of eternal love, the spirit is pure wakefulness which embodies all of the gifts the divine has blessed us with.
