Quotable:

"To me, sexuality is really the purest form of self-expression. It's about how we see ourselves and experience ourselves in and out of the world. It's about embodying our emotions, which really is essentially just energy. It's the way we move in our internal landscape."

"Most of us in the West know tantra as a practice for sex. And the reality is tantra is about sex. And it's not about sex. It's really about liberation; liberation in the body and liberating yourself from the mind. One of the most beautiful teachings about Tantra is that there's consciousness in everything and there's wisdom in everything and the divine is in everything—including yourself."

"Wealth is about choice and wealth is about freedom and wealth is about liberation. And our sexuality is really about this creative life force energy and taking that from the teachings of Tantra, then this creative life force energy is something that we have living inside of us that is abundant. And so pairing those together is sexual wealth. It's about living in abundance, peace and prosperity as it relates to one's sexual identity."

"It's not your partner who holds the key to your sensuality and your pleasure experience, it's you who holds that key. A partner might illuminate it, they might bring it out of you, but it's always been within you. It's always been there."

"Sensuality is the first language that you learn as an infant or as a baby before words are even formed. Sensuality is the mother tongue of the body."
