EPISODE 012: Cultivating Vibrancy in Life & Marriage with Meenal Kelkar
Whether it was her pain, pleasure, arousal, or orgasmic energy - my guest, Meenal Kelkal, had to fight fiercely to be able to drop into her body and feel these sensations. In today’s episode, she shares so generously and transparently about her history of sexual trauma and dissociation and the numbness she experienced in her body and sex as a result. We talk about the gorgeous dynamic between Meenal and her husband, and the inspiring ways they keep their marriage vibrant, sexy & growing after 30+ years. Yes, you read that right! She’s dropping gems from 34 years of experience inside a playful, connected marriage - you don’t want to miss it.
We dive into:
Cultivating a vibrant, playful & expansive marriage through inner work
Some health challenges for Meenal and her husband Kris - and what they decided that resulted in a pivotal shift in their lives
Meenal’s long history of numbness in her body - and her fight to reclaim her body’s sensations
The story of her energetic orgasm - out in nature!
How her trauma showed up in the bedroom with her husband (and the beautiful path of healing they went on to open and connect sexually)
And more
Meenal Kelkar has what could be called a very non-traditional traditional marriage with her husband, Kris. They are both rule-breakers and truth-seekers. They have systematically dismantled all of the duty-bound shoulds that their arranged-marriage-based Indian community sought to impose on them. They have broken free into a consciousness-laden, passion-led, limitless life guided by their Third. One of their many passions is passing these teachings on to others, which resulted in their book, “Relating Revolution: All It Takes Is One Person To Change” and the 6-week course that builds on that book. They weave together teachings from HeartMath, Nonviolent Communication, Council, Dr Joe Dispenza, Gay and Katie Hendricks, Mama Gena, Yoga and many more. Those who benefit the most from our courses are those who already understand that we all create our own experience of reality. From that common ground, together we launch into the stratosphere of what relationship truly is.
