Author Sherry Tuegel's journey from Quaker meetings to tantric healing offers a roadmap for anyone seeking deeper connection with their whole being. Her new book, Stripped Naked and Other Songs of Love, takes you along this tantric healing journey.

Details

In this soul-stirring episode, author and energy worker Sherry Tuegel shares how her Quaker childhood taught her to "sit down and wait for God to talk to you" – creating a foundation for the profound spiritual experiences that would shape her life. With disarming honesty, she describes moments of divine guidance, including hearing clear messages during personal crises: "Sherry, you don't learn with your mind."

What sets Tuegel’s perspective apart is her refreshing take on spiritual duality. Rather than viewing our separateness as something to transcend, she celebrates it: "We come here for this dance of duality... I get to know you as something different from me and that, to me, is exquisite." This philosophy creates space for both spiritual unity and human individuality.

Tuegel describes her encounters with Sekhem (All Love) energy – an ancient Egyptian transmission that Patrick Ziegler received during an overnight stay in the Great Pyramid of Giza. During All Love sessions, this energy goes "wherever you're blocking love or wherever you need healing," triggering profound physical sensations, emotional releases, and spiritual openings. The hosts share their firsthand experiences with this powerful modality, describing light visions and feelings of safety that transcended typical social experiences.

Perhaps most courageously, Tuegel discusses her integration of sexuality and spirituality through tantric practices. Challenging Western reductions of tantra to merely sexual techniques, she explains that "red tantra is the little fingernail on the body of tantra" – with meditation forming the majority of the tradition. Her journey into tantric healing merged spiritual awakening with embodied pleasure, where practitioners "turned to light bodies" during a session.

Throughout our conversation, Tuegel returns to simple yet profound guidance: "Love yourself and feel deeply into your heart and let it be the leader." By grounding in bodily sensation and heart-centered awareness, we access the present moment where transformation occurs.

Ready to experience deeper self-acceptance and spiritual connection? Listen now and discover how honoring your whole being—body, heart, and spirit—creates the foundation for authentic awakening.

Have you ever followed an intuitive pull toward a place or practice that later revealed itself as part of your spiritual destiny? Ashley Brown's journey from Tumblr-browsing teenager to confident witch is a testament to trusting those subtle nudges from the universe.

Details
Ashley, founder of Nerdventures travel company, shares how her spiritual path began with secretly borrowed books and blossomed into a nature-based practice deeply connected to the land around her Florida home. Despite her Roman Catholic upbringing, Ashley found herself drawn to witchcraft's welcoming embrace, gradually developing rituals that feel authentic rather than prescribed. Her story illustrates how our spiritual practices evolve when we release the pressure to "do it right" and simply follow what resonates.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Ashley describes her visit to Delphi, Greece—a journey that unexpectedly became a profound spiritual awakening. Standing in Apollo's temple, she experienced an overwhelming sense of connection and joy, particularly remarkable given her usual aversion to the sun. Months later, an astrocartography reading revealed her sun line runs directly through Greece, suggesting this location naturally enhances her sense of self. These meaningful "coincidences" confirm what many spiritual seekers discover: sometimes our souls know our path long before our conscious minds catch up.

Whether you're a practicing witch, a curious seeker, or simply someone who loves travel with deeper meaning, Ashley's wisdom offers a refreshing perspective. Her advice? Keep it simple, follow what naturally draws you, and don't feel pressured to do everything at once. Connect with us at mysticalmermaidelounge.buzzsprout.com and share how her journey resonates with your own spiritual explorations.

What happens when your carefully planned European vacation starts with a mid-air flight turnaround and four days in the same clothes? A spiritual journey unlike any other.

When Chione's flight to Amsterdam was diverted back to Baltimore due to a fire in a substation of the Heathrow Airport, it was just the beginning of a series of travel mishaps that would transform her perspective forever.

Details

Traveling through the Netherlands, Germany, and Luxembourg without luggage might sound like a nightmare, but it became the perfect backdrop for profound discoveries about humanity, history, and the power of chosen happiness.

The heart of this episode lies in unexpected encounters with three Moroccan taxi drivers who shared not just their cultural pride ("We have the best food in the world!") but profound wisdom about peaceful coexistence. "Allah tells me to live in my house over here and you live in your house over there... Why do we have to tell each other how to live?" one driver asked, offering a simple but powerful perspective on global conflicts.

Standing in the remains of 2000-year-old Roman baths built in 4 AD and marketplaces where witch trials led to the execution of countless women (research showed one out of two women were killed in certain regions), Keone confronts the duality of human existence—our capacity for remarkable creation and shocking cruelty. The persecution methods detailed from historical torture museums reveal uncomfortable truths about how societies have systematically silenced women throughout history.

Between fascinating historical revelations and philosophical taxi rides, this episode weaves together moments of vulnerability, humor, and spiritual insight. The most powerful takeaway? "Happiness is a choice" and true magic isn't found only in distant lands but in opening our eyes to see beauty everywhere—even when wearing the same socks for four days straight.

Tune in for a journey that will transform how you think about travel mishaps, cultural connection, and finding wonder in the most unexpected circumstances.
