What is Erotic Energy?

Inner Archeology with Sarah Turner & Emily Pennystone

Most of us know the thrill and excitement that is attached to the right kind of flirty interaction. This erotic life force, or what could be called Eros energy, has such potency, and should be celebrated and explored! Today on the show we are discussing our experiences of erotic energy, and how it goes beyond just wanting to have sex with someone. We talk about how it can translate into our careers, diet, and friendships. Being 'turned on' can take many forms and as soon as you open yourself up to the inspiration that can be centered in the deepest parts of you, we think you are likely to live a life of more excitement and curiosity. This also comes into the idea of playfulness, and why the continual peeling back of conditioned layers that so many of us carry unconsciously, can be so liberating. Other topics discussed in our chat today include the love language of roasting, the peaks and valleys of our libido, and some thoughts on taking responsibility for our own education and journey around erotic energy. To hear it all, make sure to join us for this deep excavation!
