Sacred Sexuality: What Actually Happens in the Bedroom? | Tantra, Intimacy & Real Talk
Send Us a Message! What actually happens in the bedroom when you bring Tantra into your relationship? We decided to talk about it. In this episode of Wisdom Rising , Christine Renee sits down with her partner, Jim Macdonald, for a very real conversation about sacred sexuality—not as an idea or a spiritual concept, but as something they are actually living and exploring together. We talk about the beautiful parts, the awkward parts, the funny parts, and the deeply tender parts of bringing Tantra, Shamanic Reiki, embodiment, energy, and conscious communication into our intimate relationship. In this episode, we’ll explore: • What Tantra actually looks like inside a real relationship • How we experience sexual energy as something that can move through the body rather than something we simply “use” to reach orgasm • Breath, movement, and sound as practices for awakening and circulating sexual energy • Anatomy, arousal, and understanding your own body as part of your orgasmic potential • Consent as an ongoing conversation—not just a one-time yes or no • The role of play, creativity, curiosity, and relaxation in pleasure • What happens when emotions, vulnerability, or unexpected energy arise during intimacy • Shamanic visioning, sexual magic, and the spiritual dimensions of sexuality • The importance of aftercare, nesting, and giving the body space to integrate We also talk about the realities of teaching Tantra and creating spaces where people can explore intimacy, sexuality, energy, and embodiment with integrity. That includes the ethics and boundaries that matter when you bring this kind of work into workshops, retreats, and trainings. This isn't a step-by-step formula for having better sex. Some things simply can't be turned into a formula—and we don't think they should be. Instead, we're interested in what makes deeper intimacy possible: presence, trust, communication, curiosity, play, and the willingness to let go of performance. Because sacred sexuality isn't about becoming better at sex. It's about becoming more present to yourself, your body, your partner, your energy, and the experience you're actually having. And sometimes, that means getting really honest about what happens in the bedroom. We also share ways our workshops and trainings support this path, including upcoming offerings through Moon Rising Shamanic Institute and an Intro to Sacred Tantra training in Austin.
