Sex and Spirituality: Navigating Desires in Buddhist Recovery

We don't want to ignore this, because this is the root cause down here in the deep well of suffering.
Ever wondered how your spiritual journey can coexist with your sexual desires? In this episode of The 12-Step Buddhist Podcast, Darren Littlejohn tackles this complex topic head-on. He dives into the intersection of sex and Buddhist practice, offering insights on how to manage sexual energy and address sexual trauma within the framework of recovery.
Drawing from the 37 Practices of a Bodhisattva, specifically Practice #26, Darren explores why we often repeat destructive patterns and how Buddhist teachings can help break these cycles. With readings from 'Time Travel: A History' and even a humorous clip from Ronnie Mund of the Howard Stern Show, this episode is both enlightening and engaging.
Whether you're grappling with past traumas or trying to understand your sexual desires in a new light, Darren's thoughtful discussion provides a fresh perspective on integrating spirituality and sexuality in the path to recovery.
