#196 | Guy Shahar: Is This Tantra's Most Powerful Practice?
Jun 15, 2026
Most people have heard of the G-spot. Almost nobody knows about the Sacred Spot. And the difference between the two might be the most important thing you learn about your body this year.
In Episode 196 of the Sex Reimagined Podcast, Leah Piper and Dr. Willow Brown sit down with Guy Shahar — Tantric teacher, creator of Tantra Speed Date, and longtime friend of the show — for the first dedicated conversation on Sacred Spot Massage ritual. This is the cornerstone practice of conscious Tantric sexuality, developed by Charles Muir over 30 years ago, and all three hosts trained directly under him. What they share in this episode is personal, honest, and genuinely unlike anything else in the intimacy space.
Guy opens up about his teenage accidental discovery of Charles Muir's work through a mail-order VHS tape, his years of using giving as a shield against vulnerability, and the client session that permanently changed how he understood trust. Leah shares how consistent Sacred Spot work helped her heal years of childhood sexual trauma. Willow brings the lens of Taoist Sexology and two decades of bodywork to illuminate what is actually happening in the body when this practice is done well.
The Sacred Spot is an energetic acupressure point located within the G-spot area on the front wall of the vagina, about three-quarters of the way back. In Tantric and Taoist traditions, it corresponds to the second chakra, Svadhisthana — the home of the true self, essence, and Jing Qi. When touched with conscious loving intention, it does not just produce sensation. It surfaces what the body has been storing: grief, numbness, shutdown pleasure, old wounds. And then, layer by layer, it begins to release them.
This is why people cry during Sacred Spot sessions without knowing why. This is why couples who have not been sexual in years suddenly find each other again after a single Saturday night with this practice. Love, not technique, is the active ingredient.
