What if the secret to vitality isn’t just diet or exercise—but the way you wash your dishes, touch another human, or even move your body?
In this transformative episode of The Vitality Lounge, host Micol Bok sits down with Jason Henry—a bodyworker, tantra practitioner, and expert in the healing power of touch and presence. Drawing from decades of experience and his own powerful personal journey, Jason unveils how vitality is not only a physical state but a spiritual and emotional one, accessible through mindful presence, sensuality, and even the most ordinary daily activities.
Key Highlights:
- Redefining Vitality: Jason shares his belief that true vitality is about being grounded in the present moment, not just buzzing with “life energy.”
- The Power of Touch: Discover why touch is as essential for humans as it is for animals—and how it can be a direct gateway to healing and transformation.
- Tantra Demystified: Forget the myths. Jason reveals tantra as a form of meditation that can turn even mundane chores into practices of presence and joy.
- Healing Trauma Through Sensuality: Hear moving stories, including a survivor who found liberation from shame and reclaimed her body and her life.
- Practical Guidance: Jason and Micol discuss actionable ways for both individuals and couples to reconnect with themselves and each other, from solo meditative practices to new approaches to intimacy and trust.
