  • From Root To Crown: Chakras And Sacred Sexuality
    Nov 3 2025

    Send Us a Message!

    Pleasure feels different when it’s allowed to rise from root to crown. We take you inside sacred sexuality through a clear, no-dogma tour of the seven chakras and show how breath, sound, and movement unlock whole-body arousal, deeper consent, and a more creative, connected sex life. Christine Renee and Jim Macdonald share personal stories from years of Reiki, chakra facilitation, and tantra training, then map sacred sexuality across the body’s energy centers: root safety, sacral sensuality, solar plexus confidence and boundaries, heart connection, throat honesty and listening, third eye perception and imagination, and crown-level awareness and oneness.

    Along the way, we explore the “inner flute” (shushumna nadi) for moving energy through the body, and why tears or resistance can be signs of energetic release rather than failure.

    In this episode we explore:

    • Defining chakras without dogma and why multiple models exist
    • Root safety and sacral sensuality as the base of desire
    • Solar plexus confidence and boundaries shaping consent
    • Heart connection, reciprocity and living life fully
    • Throat honesty, listening and sound as energy movers
    • Third eye perception, imagination and spontaneous flow
    • Crown awareness, oneness and whole-body ecstasy
    • Inner flute energy channel
    • Breath, sound and movement as tantric keys
    • Solo versus partnered practice and honoring your no
    • Masterclass structure, bonuses and office hours

    If you enjoy this, please check out our five-week Intro to Tantra masterclass starting November 5th, which is this Wednesday!

  • Breathwork To Enhance Shamanic Reiki And Tantra Practices
    Oct 30 2025

    Send Us a Message!

    What if six simple breaths could flip your system from scattered to centered and prime your body for real energetic change? Christine Renee explores how intentional breathing supports Shamanic Reiki—from using the exhale to help clients release stagnant energy to a full microcosmic orbit practice that “power washes” your chakras with focus and care.

    She then maps the microcosmic orbit: inhale up the back, exhale down the front, visualize a Reiki energy ball tracing the loop, and add gentle locks at the palate and root to concentrate flow. Layer in earth energy from below and source from above, and the circuit becomes a steady river rather than a trickle. Then bring in Tantra’s three keys—breath, movement, and sound—to soften rigid form into living practice. Undulate the spine to recruit the fascia, voice the exhale to free the throat, and let intention lead. Whether you’re working solo, with a client, or with a partner, this approach meets you where you are and moves what’s ready to move.

    In this episode, we explore:

    • Six-breath centering for release and tuning

    • Matching breath with clients to invite participation

    • Throat center as primary exit pathway

    • Case study of hip pain and emotional release

    • Microcosmic orbit explained with energy ball focus

    • Adding movement and sound to deepen flow

    • Transitioning from structured form to fluid tantra

    • Masterclass details and free webinar invitation

    Ready to take it deeper? Join our five-week Intro to Tantra masterclass, Awakening Aliveness through Breath, Movement, and Sound starting Wednesdays November 5th - December 10th, and catch the free webinar on Sacred Sexuality and the Chakras Sunday, Nov 2nd.

    If this resonated, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a breath-led reset, and leave a review so others can find the show.
