Speaker 1: H is Devlin. I'm welcome to another episode, so I
Speaker 1: hope you're laying comfortable. Those earbuds are in. I'd like
Speaker 1: to do something a little different today. I'd like to
Speaker 1: push a few boundaries. No story this time, well, not
Speaker 1: the kind of story you're used to from me, But
Speaker 1: I did want to talk to you directly, just you
Speaker 1: and me, just for a few minutes, because there's something
Speaker 1: I've been working on, and you know, the more I've
Speaker 1: sat with it, the more I've realized it really belongs
Speaker 1: in your hands, specifically, not despite everything we've shared together
Speaker 1: because of it. So stay with me. This won't take long,
Speaker 1: and I think I genuinely think it might matter to you.
Speaker 1: You know, you and I have spent a lot of
Speaker 1: intimate time together enjoying moments of intense pleasure. We have
Speaker 1: experienced stories built for arousal, for fantasy, and for the
Speaker 1: particular pleasure of being told something that just lights you
Speaker 1: up inside, that starts so tingles flowing. Right now, I
Speaker 1: want to say something clearly. There is nothing lacking in that,
Speaker 1: nothing that needs fixing, nothing that needs to be left behind,
Speaker 1: nothing immature, secret or incomplete about loving what we've built together,
Speaker 1: those fantasies we share bridge They always have been the
Speaker 1: fact that a story can move through your body, can
Speaker 1: make your breath change, can make something stir inside you.
Speaker 1: That's not separate from what I'm about to tell you.
Speaker 1: You can actually enjoy the same sensations, just stronger, the
Speaker 1: same body, the same capacity for feeling, just one particular
Speaker 1: expression of something much larger. You know, I want to
Speaker 1: say something now, and I don't think this gets said enough.
Speaker 1: Most of the women I've worked with over the years,
Speaker 1: in all the different forms of work that I've taken,
Speaker 1: are carrying something quietly underneath everything else, something that isn't
Speaker 1: really about pleasure at all, not at first. It's about
Speaker 1: being seen seen as essential, being, as a passionate woman,
Speaker 1: as someone alive worth desiring, not just someone who manages
Speaker 1: a house, raises children, holds a job together and keeps
Speaker 1: everyone else's lives running smoothly. Somewhere in all of the holding,
Speaker 1: somewhere in being endlessly capable, endlessly responsible, endlessly needed, the
Speaker 1: part of you that is a living, a breathing, deeply
Speaker 1: central and passionate woman stops being seen not just by
Speaker 1: anyone else by you. You stop seeing yourself that way,
Speaker 1: and the age underneath that, the quiet, rarely spoken ache
Speaker 1: isn't really I want more pleasure? Is I want to
Speaker 1: be a woman again, essential woman, not a function, not
Speaker 1: a role, a real, passionate woman. I think that take
Speaker 1: is exactly what brings so many people to these stories
Speaker 1: in the first place. The stories give you a safe
Speaker 1: place where you can be seen that way completely, if
Speaker 1: only just in your imagination for twenty minutes. So what
Speaker 1: I want to tell you about today goes a layer
Speaker 1: deeper than that. Here's what I've noticed. Those stories, the
Speaker 1: stories we share that give us a sensation, that give
Speaker 1: us a feeling of being seen, of being wanted, of
Speaker 1: being desired, of being essential being rather than a job
Speaker 1: a role. Now that sensation is real, it matters, and
Speaker 1: I will never stop believing in it. But there's something
Speaker 1: underneath the sensation, something the stories point toward without fully delivering,
Speaker 1: a deeper aliveness that doesn't depend on a scene, a voice,
Speaker 1: or a particular fantasy to access it. The capacity to
Speaker 1: see yourself as essential woman. You truly are not borrowed
Speaker 1: from a story, not performed for anyone, simply felt in
Speaker 1: your own body as the truth of who you are
Speaker 1: underneath the noise of everything you carry, and that noise
Speaker 1: is loud. The school run, the laundry, the emails, the endless, small,
Speaker 1: invisible labor of keeping everyone else all right. It's not
Speaker 1: your fault that you're a sensuality gets buried under all
Speaker 1: of it. But you can know that sensuality, that fire,
Speaker 1: that passion is still there, and there is a way
Speaker 1: of filling that gap without needing a bridge. It's called
Speaker 1: Tantric Flame. It's a podcast I've built separate from this one,
Speaker 1: with its own home now, that uses tantric philosophy and
Speaker 1: somatic practice to clear away all that noise and to
Speaker 1: help you fully arrive in your own senral body, not
Speaker 1: through a story, through guided experience, so you can live
Speaker 1: essentially every single day through your own breath, your own feelings,
Speaker 1: your own felt presence. There's no plot, no characters, no scene.
Speaker 1: There's just you, you being genuinely seen by yourself as
Speaker 1: the alive, passionate woman who has been quietly waiting beneath
Speaker 1: all the other roles with the ach I described a
Speaker 1: moment ago felt familiar, even a little. I think Tantric
Speaker 1: Flame might matter to you. So just for a moment,
Speaker 1: I want to give you a small taste right now.
Speaker 1: So just settle down wherever you are, take care your
Speaker 1: spine is straight. Now, just take one breath, just a
Speaker 1: nice normal breath, and let it go, and just for
Speaker 1: a moment, let a moment of intimacy raised your mind
Speaker 1: and perhaps from a story, perhaps a memory, or even
Speaker 1: a fantasy. Each're perfect in their own way. Just notice
Speaker 1: any images that come to mind. You can hear any sounds,
Speaker 1: smell any fragrances, and just now notice the feeling in
Speaker 1: your body. And as you let that feeling settle within
Speaker 1: your body, you can notice how the image becomes distance
Speaker 1: and the edges blur, just leaving behind that feeling, that sensation. Now,
Speaker 1: let your attention gently into your body, not your mind,
Speaker 1: not the part of you that manages and plans and
Speaker 1: holds everything together, just your body, sitting or lying exactly
Speaker 1: where you are right now, And notice, without looking for
Speaker 1: anything in particular, whether there's a place in your body
Speaker 1: where that sensation feels stronger, more alive. It might be small,
Speaker 1: it might be subtle. That's completely fine, it is there.
Speaker 1: Whatever you notice, that's not nothing, that's you seeing your sense, yourself,
Speaker 1: your passion, your desire right there, without a story, without
Speaker 1: anyone else's eyes on you, without someone else's permission, that
Speaker 1: you can feel just using your own attention, finally simply
Speaker 1: arriving in you as essential being rather than everything else.
Speaker 1: You carry that quality, That's what Tantric Flame is built around.
Speaker 1: In steps of twenty minutes at a time, going deeper
Speaker 1: than a single minute ever could So just take a breath,
Speaker 1: come back to wherever you are, We'll go your fingers
Speaker 1: and toes good. That's the taste. Even a quiet part,
Speaker 1: even a part you haven't acknowledged out loud to anyone,
Speaker 1: felt something just now. I was talking if some part
Speaker 1: of you is tired of being capable and invisible and
Speaker 1: once just wants to just try and feel like a
Speaker 1: woman rather than a series of roles. And I think
Speaker 1: you might be ready. And if you are, Tantric Flame
Speaker 1: is exactly where I'd love to meet you. Tantric Flame
Speaker 1: has its own channel now, completely separate from this one.
Speaker 1: I'll put the link in the episode's notes. There are
Speaker 1: two episodes to start worth, one that explains all of
Speaker 1: this properly, and one that takes you through a full
Speaker 1: guided experience. The real version of what I gave you
Speaker 1: a taste of. I genuinely love for you to join
Speaker 1: me over there and subscribe, not instead of staying here
Speaker 1: with me both if you want me that way, They're
Speaker 1: different rooms in the same house. And if it's not
Speaker 1: right for you now, that's completely fine too. I'll still
Speaker 1: be right here, same as always with the next story.
Speaker 1: Thank you for staying with me through something a little
Speaker 1: different today. I built tan trip flame because I believe
Speaker 1: the same thing about you that I've always believed. That
Speaker 1: you are someone capable of intense passion, of intense sensuality,
Speaker 1: and you deserve to explore that that is your birthright,
Speaker 1: and I just wanted to offer you another way to
Speaker 1: be seen for it, especially by yourself. The link is
Speaker 1: in the show's notes if you want it, and I'll
Speaker 1: be back here soon with something else entirely so until then,
Speaker 1: just know, if nothing else know, you are a deeply
Speaker 1: centual woman. You are beautiful just as you are, not
Speaker 1: just everything you do for everyone else, but who you are.
Speaker 1: Take care of that. It's more special than you can know. Then,
Speaker 1: the younger
