Everybody has his or her obstacles blocking direct access you your essence. For some it's fear, anger, resentment, sadness, for others it's a sense of elevation or feeling superior. All these elements can be blocking your ability to live your full radiant loving essence into the world.
The core of the 'Feeding your Demons' practice (and of tantric shadow work in general) is that we don't repress or deny these obstacles, but we use their energy for transformation. How? By not pushing away these parts of ourselves but inviting them to show th...2022-11-3039 min

// DEEPER with Sjors Boelaars | 1:1 mentorship on Intimacy, Emotions and PurposePractice: Mindful masturbationMindful masturbation. Jep, it's a thing.
In this practice you will learn maybe one of the most difficult things in life: going to the edge of an orgasm without giving in (for men that would mean ejaculation).
But... why would you? Ejaculation and orgasm is the best part right?
Well... it is and it isn't.
By training our body to be able to hover on the edge of orgasm without sliding into release two things happen:
We disconnect having sex with the need to orgasm. This will result in le...2022-06-1026 min// DEEPER with Sjors Boelaars | 1:1 mentorship on Intimacy, Emotions and PurposePractice: Inner flute breathing to circulate energy through the body (19 min)Hey friends,
Here is a live recording from the inner flute breathing.
Why you want to do this practice:
In this practice you learn how to build up (sexual) energy in the base and spread it throughout your body.
In this way you can transform the raw energy of the base into the more refined energy of the upper parts of the body.
And also nice: you can spread the nice sensations of the genital area all the way throughout your body. Activating the orgasmic capacity of the whole body. Not a bad thing.

I like the spiritual path. I like the tantric path. I like to see how my body opens up and how I am able to experience life more fully. But over the years I see more and more pitfalls that come with spiritual practice. I do things that feel good, but how do I know they render structural, real life improvement of my day to day life quality?

Iedereen heeft zijn of haar beknellingen. Voor sommige is het angst, woede, verdriet, of juist verheffing of superieuriteit. Soms staan deze beknellingen je in de weg. De kern van de practice 'Feeding your Demons' (en van Tantrisch werk algemeen) is dat je deze beknellingen niet wegdrukt maar uitnodigt om te onderzoeken wat de onderliggende behoefte is.
“The core of ‘Feeding your Demons’ is that you don’t repress your dark sides, but invite them to unveil what they actually need. ‘We invite them for tea’, so t...2021-05-0733 min// DEEPER with Sjors Boelaars | 1:1 mentorship on Intimacy, Emotions and PurposePractice: begeleide breath work journey - 'Contact met onderliggende pijn' - 28 min (Sjors) - NederlandsHoe maak je contact met je innerlijke pijn?
