Unlocking Intimacy: The Hidden Power of Tantra


What if the key to a more vibrant, connected, and fulfilling life wasn't something outside of you—but already within you, waiting to be awakened?

Explore the power of conscious intimacy and how it can lead to personal growth and deeper relationships. Learn how to awaken your inner self and create a more vibrant life through spirituality and authentic relating. This episode offers profound insights for anyone seeking emotional connection in relationships.

In this episode of Happiness On Tap, I’m joined by internationally renowned intimacy experts Dr. Elsbeth Meuth and Freddy Zental Weaver—best-selling authors of Sexual Enlightenment: How to Create Lasting Fulfillment in Life, Love and Intimacy and co-founders of the TantraNova Institute in Chicago. You may recognize them from Showtime’s Sexual Healing or the Emmy Award-winning NBC show Starting Over.

Together, we explore how Tantra and conscious intimacy can awaken the vibrant, creative life force already within us. Elsbeth and Freddy share their journey to teaching Sexual Enlightenment, the many ways tantric practices nurture physical, emotional, and mental well-being for both couples and singles, and the transformative role of vulnerability in deepening self-connection and relationships.

Freddy even guides us through a simple practice you can try right away to begin reconnecting with your body and sensual energy. We also talk about their workshops, their inspiring book.

This conversation is a beautiful reminder that intimacy isn’t only about physical connection—it’s about presence, awareness, and fully opening to life itself.


We discuss:

  • How they came to share their Sexual Enlightenment message.
  • The truth about what Tantra really is (and isn’t), and ways Tantra and Tantric intimacy support physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
  • How Tantra and Tantric intimacy show up for couples and individuals.
  • Practices to cultivate intimacy and emotional connection.
  • A simple breathing practice everyone can try to begin reconnecting with their body and sensual energy.
  • Connection, the foundation of breath work - men vs women.
  • Insights into vulnerability, healing, and creative energy.
  • Powerful practices and insights from their inspiring book Sexual Enlightenment: How to Create Lasting Fulfillment in Life, Love and Intimacy.
  • The workshops they offer for men, women, and a co-ed workshop for couples and singles.


This conversation is a beautiful reminder that intimacy isn’t only about physical connection—it’s about presence, awareness, and fully opening to life itself.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
