Spiritual Awakening and Intimacy Mastery with Magda Kay - By Olivia Stern

Reading time: 3 minutes

When Magda Kay first discovered spirituality she thought it was stupid. She laughs as she shares this with me now, over a decade since that time in her life. Now an intimacy expert, conscious relationship coach, and Tantra teacher, how did this transformation occur?

Like so many, Magda was praised as a child and in her early adult life for her logic and smarts. And, no wonder. Spending even just an hour with her and you see that she is whip-smart. Thankfully, for all of us, she learned to go further than just relying on her intelligence and went from approaching life in a way that is hyper-logical to one that is deeply attuned to the body, energy, and ancient spiritual practices.

In her late twenties, Madga worked at Mindvalley, a highly sought-after online ed-tech company that offers courses that blend business with spirituality. She entered the company not having ever explored spirituality before and only knew of personal development from the psychology she had studied in school.

While she began her career there highly doubtful of the energy practices and principles being taught, she was pleasantly surprised to realize that so much of what she had already learned from psychology seemed to overlap and align with the courses that were being offered. It didn’t seem like the far stretch she once thought it would be.

It was at that time that Magda underwent an incredibly painful breakup, which brought her to her knees. She describes that time in her life as the lowest she has ever been and finally a friend recommended she see an energy healer.

Dubious, yet again, she still agreed to go due to how desperately she wanted to feel better. She recalls how important that day was to her - walking out of that single session with a brand new trajectory in life. From that simple, one-hour session her emotional state shifted completely. No longer depressed, she was at a complete loss for words. She couldn’t logically fathom it.

“I thought, this is crazy. I remember talking to the healer and saying to her, ‘How did you do that?’ And she responded, ‘You can do it, too,” Magda recalls.

And from there, Magda’s approach began to change. She enrolled in this woman’s professional training and became a certified ThetaHealing practitioner. Later, as she found she had much to heal in the realm of intimacy and relationships, she, yet again, turned to spiritual principles and found Tantra, an ancient Yogic science that utilizes the body as a way to reach deeper states of consciousness within oneself and in relation to others.

“I find these practices so powerful because no matter what resistance someone may have, I have the personal experience of having benefitted from these practices,” Magda shares.

The way Magda speaks about intimacy you can just feel how much of an impact this work has made on her own life, and why she is so well positioned to offer the same to her clients and students.

Her perspective on sexuality is so enlightening for exactly this reason. Never having thought to bring spirituality into her relationships and intimate life, she can see the “before and after” of what her life looks like now compared to the time when she was far more led by her logic.

“We live in a world where people’s sexuality is very limited because it's missing the spiritual aspect. Spirituality, when it comes to sex, would never have been something I would have thought would be important, believe me! But I see now how there is so much untapped connection and depth that went missing when I was having sex without a deeper awareness of my body and the energetics of sex.”

This is something that Tantra and Sacred Sexuality practices do such a wonderful job of incorporating and something Magda is deeply committed to offering her clients and students. Founder of the School of Intimacy - an online educational platform for all things communication, sexuality, and relationships - her work focuses on allowing those she works with to get in touch with their bodies.

“I really want to help people add the element of spirituality into their intimate life in whatever form that looks for them,” Magda shares.

She finds that, just like herself, the transformation is immense for those who can live from a more balanced and integrated place where the mind is not all that is valued, learning instead to be deeply rooted in ritual, feeling, and a connection to others. As an author, a popular YouTuber, educator, and coach, Magda’s own journey from hyper-logical to having a deep attunement to the body and spirituality is the embodiment of and roadmap for the transformation she now expertly offers others.
