Episode 340: In this episode, Madelyn delves into the vital connection between the heart and body in relationships, emphasizing how it's crucial to break free from the social norms that dictate who you should be and how love should work. 

Madelyn explores the relational traps created by these societal expectations, shedding light on how they can hinder our relationships and true self-expression in love. She discusses the dynamics of desire, longing, and the essence of creativity in love. Madelyn gives her insights on reigniting the part of yourself that's linked to something greater than you, while urging you to let go of the illusions of love perpetuated by fairytales.

Show notes:

• Opinions like "I will rather be a sacred slut than an empire-building girl boss" can make women angry, thinking that we are against each other when it is not.
• As women, we are used to fighting for acceptance, which is exhausting. But -- we have nothing to prove to them.
• The inspiration behind The Uncivilized Man Movement is the primitive man dealing with unexpressed emotions and pain.
• One of Traver's passions is to help men connect their emotions and feelings to something bigger than themselves so that they can be a better person.
• Traver wants to thank every woman who's bought his book and spread his message.
• With power comes great responsibility, and being in a man's body does bring great power. In other words, don't apologize for being born as a man. Do something good with it.
• The Uncivilized Man Movement's mantra is to let others feel safe as you walk among them.
• Biology exists, and it needs to be recognized. For that reason, no matter how many books we read and how much money we make, our biology has to be tended to.
• What can we do for men? Encourage, celebrate and support them.
• All men have a green light and a red light inside of them.
• A couple fighting to be in the alpha role will cause harm to the relationship. As a result, it is going to be a power struggle and a pissing contest.
• For Traver, the depth of the word "safety" is something he had to learn by himself. Now, he helps men to comprise and create it.
• Traver Boehm is perplexed by the state of our culture. Right now, he feels people are digging their heels against the pendulum — a kind of middle ground unto itself.
• "The women are the message spreaders of the world."
• Traver feels that as the dominant in the room, men are responsible for the women. That is to say, men must take care of them.

In this episode, originally recorded as a live-class episode of Traver's podcast. Raw and unfiltered, Madelyn and Traver discuss artistry and generosity, purity culture, sensuality, how to make art in triggered moments, polarity, devotion, and healing the wounds that are keeping us at a distance from those we want to love and love well.

Show Notes:

• Traver will also appear on Mind Body Musings soon.
• Speaking to an audience who may be unfamiliar with her, Madelyn discusses her study in yogic intimacy and her upbringing in purity culture.
• Purity culture is essentially slut-shaming at its core, wholesale denial of feminine sexuality.
• An extension of this is also the way that women speak of each other and their gender. "I'm not like most girls," or, "Don't worry; I'm not crazy."
• During her time in bodybuilding, Madelyn found that having been raised to believe and assume that men are "better" than women was contributing to her building physical armor around her emotional truth.
• Being unable to cope with the "curvature of life" manifested as OCD; living through an eating disorder manifested because of being unable to cope with the curvature of body.
• A woman revealing to her partner the part of her that is "lost," she is letting go of everything her body has been taught/forced/compelled to do.
• Being able to be sharp and then go into softness is part of the privilege of being a man.
• Richard Rudd - The Gene Keys - the highest form of love is to arrive just as you are, beyond the things you're into, beyond what you're practicing. "I don't need you to do anything." More Richard Rudd here: maddymoon.com/richard-rudd/
• Madelyn explores the concept of approaching dating as a practice - holding your body to transmit, "I'm open. I'm present."
• One of the primary masculine challenges - there's tremendous anger toward the feminine in the masculine.
• "Entitlement is a big piece of what men need to work through."
• Three Stages of Communication
• Based on The Way of the Superior Man by David Deida – https://amzn.to/3i2REUU
• First Stage: Reactive, the way most people are interacting.
• When one feels triggered, repressive reaction, silent treatment, withholding love, punishing, spiritual bypassing.
• Second Stage: Everyone needs more of this - talk therapy, clear, "When you did X, I felt Y, and I desire ..."
• This is formatted and structured - very much in the masculine domain.
• Third Stage: revealing truth as a gift to our partner.
• Instead of an accusatory, "You always do this to me," transformed into a statement in the name of love, with love.
• Madelyn has worked on connecting to the part of her that's heartbroken. The heartbroken part is the same part that wants to be an offering.
• "There's no part of heartbroken-ness that wants distance.
• The first step of elevating relationship into artistry: Recognize your complaint in the relationship.
• Madelyn is incubating the idea of some sort of show related to her work - polarity dating show? Let us know if you have any producer contacts!

Episode 336: Yogic intimacy and Tantra are spiritual embodiment practices that both encompass and extend beyond sex. Madelyn has been focusing on Tantra to complement the Yogic intimacy work she's been engaged with for years. Learning just basic physical intimacy is a challenge for many of us, let alone exploring and enhancing by engaging the physical with the spiritual, and the masculine with the feminine. Madelyn has been focused more on her TikTok and Instagram these days, as she's been using visual components to teach these concepts. In this episode Madelyn catches up on what she's been up to and explores some tools and practices available to bring art to our intimacy.

Show Notes:

• Madelyn's intention is to now release one podcast episode per month.
• The podcast is no longer at the forefront of her prerogatives as a teacher.
• Follow Madelyn on Instagram and TikTok, where she's taking her polarity teaching with a visual component. This will be her focus for her time.
• Madelyn welcomes your feedback on the new plan!
• Artistic Intimacy Workshop: maddymoon.com/artistic
• This is a two-hour workshop on how to bring art into your intimate life.
• Madelyn has been doing a Tantra course, supplementing the Yogic intimacy she's been studying and teaching.
• Men often deplete their chi or lifeforce through ejaculation - women 'get' energy and are energized via sex and orgasm.
• One of the prime quests of the male's journey to living a Tantric lifestyle is to prolong or delay ejaculation, orgasm without ejaculation.
• In Tantra you are vitalized by multiple orgasms, but physical ejaculation is depleting.
• Much of Madelyn's work to date has approached from the more spiritual, less physical side of intimacy.
• This is largely due to the purity culture in which she was raised.
• When she was young, Madelyn wore a ring symbolizing her marriage with God.
• While that was part of a negative purity culture, she has adapted the concept and considers herself married to a personal god, and connects with this through the sensual.
• Sisu Society has changed and evolved. No longer a group coaching program, now a course with tons of practices: maddymoon.com/sisu-society
• Feminine Spirit School is a foundational, but still deep, study of feminine/masculine: maddymoon.com/feminine-spirit
• As always, one-one-coaching is available as well. maddymoon.com/coaching
