Here is the description of this week’s - September 16, 2016 episode:
The mindful approach is about listening without judgement to our innate wisdom of the body and mind connection through cultivating awareness, recognizing lifelong physical and mental patterns and teaching techniques and practices which expand mind/body integration. The need for mind and body connectedness in sex has prompted some new liaisons. Lori Brotto is encouraging women to bring Buddha into bed with them. “We know a desynchrony exists where the genitals are doing one thing and the mind another, and this has a bearing on sexual response. So if we can teach women to bridge the gap between mind and body” by cultivating mindfulness, she says, “we should be able to improve that response.” Men and women can relearn to appreciate their body and its capacity for sensual pleasure.
