Do you feel connected to the erotic?

The word “erotic” has been co-opted by media, but the original meaning is less about sex and more about truly connecting with your body. When we experience the erotic, we transcend above thought, above ego to something much more divine.

In today’s episode, we’re talking with Rie Katagiri, the conscious movement educator and embodiment coach behind Erotic Movement Arts.

Rie first connected with her own body through yoga, but it wasn’t until she tried pole dancing that she realized what she was missing. She’d unknowingly been keeping part of her sensual energy locked up, and through erotic movement, she finally set it free.

After years of practicing, studying, teaching conscious movement, she opened her studio Erotic Body Movement to help others connect with their own bodies.

Now, Rie guides her students back into their bodies to experience the erotic and heal the rift between body and soul.

Join me in today’s episode as we discuss the healing powers of the erotic, the difference between eroticism and sexuality, the effects of the male gaze on our sensuality, and practicing reverence for our own bodies.

About the EMBODIED Podcast with Elizabeth DiAlto

Since 2013 I’ve been developing a body of work that helps women embody self love, healing and wholeness. We do this by focusing on the four levels of consciousness - physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.

In practical terms this looks like exploring tools and practices to help you tune into the deep wisdom of the body and the knowing of the heart, which I believe are gateways to our souls. Then we cultivate a new relationship with our minds that allows the mind to serve this wisdom and knowing and soul connection, rather than override it, which is what many of us were taught.

If you’ve been doing self help or spiritual development work for a while, these are the types of foundational things that often people overlook in pursuit of fancier concepts that often aren’t practical or sustainable. Here, we will focus on building these strong foundations so you can honestly and thoroughly embody self love. If you’re feeling it, subscribe to the show, and leave us a review wherever you listen from. You can also keep up with show updates and community discussion on Instagram here.
