The Mindvalley Podcast with Vishen

Intimacy can be transformative, but what happens when we make it sacred? This episode dives into the raw, transformative power of sacred sexuality through the stories of three couples who’ve been through it all—breakups, reunions, and those messy, beautiful moments that define a relationship. They’re sharing how rituals and shared practices have not only strengthened their bonds but helped them navigate conflict in a way that feels... well, sacred. Whether you're coupled up or just curious about deeper love, this one will make you see connection in a whole new light. When it comes to conflict, these couples are refreshingly honest, offering a glimpse into the ways they tackle tough times together. They’ll talk you through some seriously cool approaches to handling disagreements—think “calls to greatness” instead of arguments. It’s all about building something that feels safe, respected, and still exciting. They’re not just sharing tips—they’re giving a genuine look at what it takes to build trust, feel seen, and truly support each other. It’s the kind of understanding that goes beyond advice and into the heart of what makes love last. And, in perhaps the most beautiful part, they explore what “home” means in a relationship—a feeling of joy, safety, and shared purpose that isn’t easy to put into words but is felt deeply. Whether you’re partnered or single, these stories will get you thinking about love, connection, and how we all crave that deeper sense of belonging.  Key Timestamps: [00:01:43] Sacred sexuality and relationships.

Memorable Quotes: "It (meditate) actually creates more time. When you get into these, whatever you want to call them, practices, rituals, daily things — it really gives you more time. It's because it gives you clarity. So the clarity will multiply the output that you are doing that you think you're accomplishing without doing it. I really, truly, I mean, I know that for a fact that these practices, these things — they multiply your amount that you do so. If you're already living your best life, I think applying some of these concepts will even heighten it more and free up more time." – Big Sean "A cluttered environment is a cluttered mind. And so, chaos around you will create chaos in your heart, in your mind, in your life, literally. You will start attracting because we are attracting what we are, but we're also attracting what we live in." – Marie Diamond  Where to Find Our Guest, Big Sean: Website: https://www.uknowbigsean.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigsean/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uknowbigsean Twitter: https://x.com/BigSean YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bigsean TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bigsean Where to Find Our Guest, Marie Diamond: Website: https://www.mariediamond.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariediamondofficial/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mariediamondfans To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Subscribe to 'Mindvalley Membership' to discover 65+ transformational Mindvalley programs – at a surprisingly low annual fee here 👉 https://go.mindvalley.com/NOW  Produced by Evolved Podcasting: www.evolvedpodcasting.com Learn more about your ad choices.
