In this recording, Christian uses the word beast for a raw, embodied energy that some people have learned to suppress. He explores whether that energy can be expressed with care, purpose and an open heart.
Energy and responsibility
The teaching distinguishes feeling power or sexual energy from acting on it. Neither intensity nor a sense of openness replaces another person’s consent. The work is about finding expression that respects other people and remains within clear boundaries.
One couple’s account
The recording is a short documentary-style piece built around a testimonial from a participant identifying himself as Ken, alongside his partner, who describe a period of intimacy difficulties in their relationship. Ken explains that he had withdrawn from a primal, sexual part of himself after witnessing, earlier in life, women being repelled by men expressing that energy carelessly. His partner says her intuition told her he needed time with other men, and a friend brought him to a Heart iQ retreat.
Christian, referred to directly by Ken as "the facilitator," describes the core teaching: men often disconnect from primal, embodied power because they fear it translating into harm or unhealthy sexual conduct, and instead prioritise an open heart while leaving this more primal part behind. Christian's view, as stated in the recording, is that raw energy is not itself bad, but it can be expressed harmfully when it is not held in connection with the heart. The work he describes involves men owning this energy fully, sometimes needing another person to model the embodiment for them, and then finding how to bring it into connection with the heart so it can be used with purpose rather than acted out unconsciously.
Ken describes his own first attempt on the practice mat, needing someone to demonstrate the movement and expression for him, then receiving feedback from the group before trying again. He and his partner both describe a noticeable shift in his presence afterwards, which she says was visible to her, not just something he reported feeling.
Denied energy vs owned energy
Denied primal energy
The fear of expressing a part of oneself can lead to withdrawal, as Ken describes in his own account.
Owned primal energy in connection with the heart
The couple describe exploring that energy in a group, then noticing a change in how they connected. Consent and responsibility remain necessary.
