This episode explores the tantric ways of deepening intimacy and cultivating sexual healing with oneself and your partner. On a deeper level, this episode answers the following questions from one of our listeners:

"Two specific questions I'm particularly interested in - does Tantra have a guideline upon how frequent or infrequent sexual activity should be? I know it varies, but I guess is there a benchmark for healthy vs unhealthy? Or does Tantra align with Ayurveda which refers to the seasons and the Doshas to help guide a healthy level of sexual activity?

Secondly, you spoke in one of your podcasts about how in Tantra, sexual activity should be done with an element of detachment… would you mind briefly explaining this point to me?"

In this episode, Chandresh shares the tantra perspective of overcoming challenges of dysfunctional family dynamics within your spiritual growth and practice. The following questions are covered:

What roles do the family dynamics play in influencing an individual's belief systems and how they practice spiritual beliefs? What advice do you have for someone who has a different spiritual belief or practice from their family?
Why do spiritual differences so often cause problems within family dynamics, and what can someone do to help ease these tensions if they choose to walk a different path from their family?
There's a strong belief online that someone has to cut out their family or remove themselves from the family dynamics in order to go through spiritual awakenings. Is this true or is there a better way to heal within the family dynamic?
Is your advice for handling and healing family dynamics, especially in regard to spirituality, different for people who come from abusive homes? If someone does come from an abusive home what is the purpose of this and how can someone heal from and overcome these types of challenges?
There is a lot of conversation online about "soul family" and finding your soul tribe. Often people discuss the family you are born into is not your true soul tribe. This can be especially easy to relate to when you have different spiritual beliefs or perspectives on life from your family. What is the tantra perspective on this? Are there any tips or advice to understanding who your soul group is and how to align with them?
How do you cope with losing a child? Especially when your partner or their parents are pressuring you to have another child? What is the relationship between mothers and being a home-maker vs. career woman especially in regards to having lost a child or having a miscarriage?
How can someone go deeper into their spiritual practice when in a partnership? Especially if your partner does not have the same spiritual practice or beliefs as you? Specifically if you are someone who is transcending your sexual urges and do not want to have sex with your partner as often as they do, how do you overcome this dynamic in a relationship?

In this episode, Chandresh discusses something he calls sacred hours. Sacred hours is a concept that has become increasingly popular among Chandresh's 1:1 clients and the Leela Gurukul students. It is changing the way students are showing up in their creativity, personal fulfillment, and professional growth. In this episode, Chandresh explores the meaning and structure of sacred hours and how they can benefit you. In addition, Chandresh explores a template listeners can apply and use to create their own signature style of sacred hours, while also discussing how to overcome challenges and distractions that may show up along the way. Our hope is this episode helps listeners to cultivate their own unique style of sacred hours so this practice can go beyond the "new year, new me" narrative, and become a new way of life.

In this episode, Chandresh shares the tantra perspective on reincarnation. The following questions are covered:

Why do we need to discuss reincarnation? What is the purpose of reincarnation from a tantra perspective?
Do all beings reincarnate? Are there some that don't? Those who don't reincarnate, is it by choice, will or just a random coincidence?
If reincarnation is real, why do we not remember our past lives?
What is the role of your sankalpa and sadhana in the journey of reincarnation?
What role does ancestral healing play in reincarnation, the family you are born through, and the lessons you learn in each life by belonging to that family unit?
What role do Shiva and Kali play in death + reincarnation?
Some people tend to live a highly negative or toxic life when they are alive. Be it drug addiction, criminal activity, or negative situations where they happened to be at the wrong time such as getting murdered…how does reincarnation take place for them?
People will sometimes talk about how they are the reincarnate of spiritual leaders such as Jesus and Buddha. Is there any validity to this and what does tantra say regarding reincarnation of significant spiritual teachers?

160. Claiming the power of your Intention Nov 30, 2022

In this week's episode, Chandresh covers the fundamentals of intentions. Intentions are not the same thing as goals. Instead, intentions are the sankalpa or the conscious desire of your soul.

In the tantra traditions, we bring a very sacred focus on the sankalpa because meditation without sankalpa is considered irrelevant and sankalpa without meditation is considered useless. They both work together in an important way. In this episode, we take a deep dive into the roots of the intention and look at the following questions:

How do you know if you are setting the right intention in meditation? How do you know setting that intention is working?
How do you work with your intentions both during and outside of your meditation practice? What makes working with intentions outside of your meditation different from setting goals?
How many intentions should you work with at one time and what do you do once your intention starts to take place?
Is there any way to set the wrong intentions that could harm your spiritual path or growth?
What are the causes of an intention not coming into fruition? Is there a "right way" to support intentions so they manifest easier?
