On Sacred Harmony, we dive into somatic safety, trauma-informed breathwork (chest–belly–pelvis), nervous system regulation, and intuition-led decision-making with certified sexologist Mandy Hart. Mandy explains how mapping sensations, practicing belly and pelvic breathing, and slowing down awareness can shift anxiety, dissolve shame, and create grounded choices in relationships and life. Practical prompts and a simple three-part breathing sequence help listeners move from reactivity to clarity—so intimacy feels safe, present, and real.

About the guest  :

Mandy Hart is a certified sexologist and founder of Heart’s Desire. Through somatic coaching and trauma-informed practices, she helps clients untangle shame, reconnect with their bodies, and align intimacy with authentic desire.

Key takeaways  

• Safety first: If you don’t feel safe in your body, connection and pleasure stay out of reach; safety is the baseline for intimacy and clear choices.

• Start where you are: Notice if you’re dissociated (numb, little sensation) or hyper-activated (constant discomfort); your starting point sets the next step.

• Three-part breath map: Explore chest → belly → pelvis to identify sensations, open tight areas, and shift anxious chest breathing into calming belly breathing.

• Belly breathing = regulation: Expanding the “balloon” of the belly on inhale activates parasympathetic calm and interrupts fight/flight decision loops.

• Pelvic awareness: Gently send breath and attention to the pelvis to restore circulation, presence, and integrated erotic energy—without forcing pace or depth.

• Feedback helps: One hand on chest, one on belly; if only the chest hand moves, guide breath lower—slowly.

• Intuition vs. fear: Ground first (slow breath), then ask whether the sensation is excitement or anxiety; choose from regulation, not reactivity.

• Shame release is somatic: Locate sensations (e.g., “tight throat”), meet them with compassion, and allow release; repeated compassionate awareness rewires patterns.
