Why is pleasure essential to healing and living a life full of bliss, passion, and sensuality?

Pleasure is your map to the other areas of your life. If you are not allowing yourself to receive pleasure in your body or life, you are constantly going to feel overworked, burned out,  unfulfilled, bored, and unhappy. Pleasure taps us into our sensual, feminine body, intuition, and our true desires. After all, if something doesn’t feel good how likely are you to let it stick around?

The unfortunate thing is that we’ve become so devoid of pleasure in our bodies and lives that we’ve settled for thinking that we don’t deserve pleasure or that it’s only for certain people. Or Goddess forbid, we think it’s only something we can experience “one day,” “someday,” or when we reach a certain goal. Like when we have a million dollars in the bank or have lost X number of lbs…or when we’ve met the love our of life and have a happy ending once and for all!

I’m calling absolute bullshit on this.

Pleasure is our birthright.

Your body is a sacred temple. You deserve pleasure that makes you throb deliciously. You deserve to feel it pulsing through your blood and spreading throughout your entire body like a warm, sexy glow. 

We are naturally sensual, pleasure seeking creatures. When something feels good, we lean towards it. We desire it. We want more. We light up and open up in order to receive it without abandon. When something doesn’t feel so good, we retract from it. We pull away, close down, and cut ourselves off from it. How is it that we’ve lost our intuitive, sensual way down the pleasure path?

Life happens. Conditioning happens. People, places, things happen. We are told as young children that feeling pleasure in our bodies is wrong for a number of reasons. We are told to stop exploring our bodies and then we lose that precious connection to our innate abilities to sense things out or choose pleasure.

Pleasure, to me, is the ultimate act of self-love. Allowing yourself to be open and receptive to it is the most beautiful experience you can have. Nowadays it takes a lot of courage, trust, and surrender in order to allow pleasure in your life and especially your body. Below in my video I share some more information on the beauty of pleasure along with three sacred rituals to try out in order to call more pleasure into your body and life!
