Hello and welcome to the Eros Sutras podcast. I’m Anjuli Ayer, and in this series of the Eros Sutras, Volume 3, Orgasmic Meditation, we explore the writings of Nicole Daedone. Rooted in the practice of orgasmic meditation, the Eros Sutras delineate a journey of understanding the erotic impulse. Nicole invites us to harness this impulse, channeling it toward peak states of consciousness, known as the erotic state. More than just a guide to OM, the Eros Sutras serve as a lens through which we can deepen our connections both with ourselves and the world around us. So whether you’re familiar with Orgasmic Meditation or just getting started, I want to invite you to settle in and enjoy the Eros Sutras
