Today's guest, Amy McFarling is Somatic Sex Educator and Intimacy Field Guide who helps clients connect to their own erotic intelligence and discover how Eros (libidinal energy or life force) flows through their bodies.  Amy has a deep well of wisdom that she offers clients. She works with individuals and couples to help them cultivate their authentic sense of Self, which might include things like expanding their experience of pleasure through 'mindful erotic practice,’ reframing the typical hetero-normative sexual experience, working with unintended ejaculation, or shifting one’s erotic orientation away from expectation and toward curiosity. Her clients come to know their body’s unique erotic intelligence, and how direct communication is so important to getting more of what we crave. Amy poses important questions, like “What does it mean to be in my power without causing fear in others?” and “Can my pleasure exist independent of my lover's pleasure?” Resources: Amy McFarling - Somatic Sex Educator and Intima

Life's endings are happening all the time. Whether we're 'ghosted' in a dating experience, saying goodbye to a loved one who passed and/or left abruptly, divorce we may be left with unanswered questions. This episode is with Nameh's dear friend Sahar. Nameh was unaware of the potent death of Sahar's childhood friend. Sahar vulnerably shares what was present for him. How numbing was a resource in navigating grief. We explore how we might not be ready or fully present to our grief at the time of a loved one's funeral.  The 5 Rhythms community introduced Nameh to the concept 'good ending,' as in how can we give ourselves a good ending. This episode includes questions that might assist in knowing what elements could support a Good Ending.

Nameh has a bunch of commitments that may make offering a weekly episode challenging. In this short show Nameh shares about a few shows that are in the works... one show (that might become a two-parter) around how we can give ourselves a 'good ending'. The other show that's in the works brings forward people's answers to two distinct spiritual questions.  Stay tuned as there's much more to come.
