I have been thinking a lot lately about the importance of pleasure as a basic need in life. Pleasure is what connects us to the sheer joy of being alive and yet there is so much guilt, fear and shame associated with it that we have cut ourselves off from our joy, vitality and well being. Whether we are talking about the pleasure of relaxation for a few minutes in the middle of the workday, stopping to smell the roses and notice the little things in life that bring enjoyment, spending more time with the people we love, treating ourselves to something nurturing, or feeling sexual pleasure, by the time we are adults, we have already become conditioned to feel guilty, unworthy, afraid, or just too busy (which is a manifestation of feeling guilty, unworthy and/or afraid) to experience the pleasure that renews and sustains us physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
I have a favorite quote, from Sanaya Roman/Orin: “How good can you stand it today?” I know that the material world is energy that is constantly changing depending on what we choose to believe, embody and experience. Part of our learning individually and collectively is to become this awareness and use it to create something wonderful and fulfilling. As beings made up of energy/consciousness/awareness we are as infinite as the divine because that is what we are made of; that is what energy is.
The process of moving from intellectual understanding to felt/know-it-in-your-bones embodiment can be challenging and it can take time. Sometimes I embody it well, other times I “forget” and choose to stay trapped in the muck of beliefs that I allow to hold me back from total freedom. However, eventually I snap out of it and when that happens I am grateful for the simplicity of the spiritual path via embodiment.
What do I mean by the simplicity of the spiritual path via embodiment? It means if I can feel it as energy inside me and if I can feel myself as whatever I wish to embody, then that is what is. The reason I love the quote mentioned above is because it is very embodiment oriented. My life is as wonderful as I allow myself to feel it. I can let those self limiting beliefs cloud my thinking and keep me wallowing in victim mentality and thinking about everything I need to do better or I can allow myself to feel myself as whatever I wish to experience. The more pleasure, abundance, love, health or whatever I allow myself to feel, the more I experience it.
So, how good can you stand it today? How much pleasure will you allow yourself to feel? It is really that simple, and as you progressively open yourself up to allow more sensation of pleasure, you are transforming your approach to life and your life will change. One activity to try is to spend a few minutes each day relaxing and feeling pleasure inside your body, starting at your toes and then allowing the sensations to move up your body and out the top of your head at whatever pace it moves. I love this activity as it reminds me that pleasure is an innate part of being alive and is present any time I am willing to allow it. It also reminds me in a very physical way that the experience of pleasure is not something given to me by someone or something outside me; it is always present as part of me, awaiting my attention/intention. I like that. And as the energy flows it feels absolutely wonderful, especially as the blocks are cleared. At first as you use this activity, the energy may feel stuck or slowed and you may experience discomfort, or distraction manifesting as the desire to stop this activity and do something else. However, once you are open enough, the experience can be literally orgasmic.
If you experience stuck energy as you use this activity and would like some assistance moving through it, The Living Oneness Spiritual Embodiment Sessions, Sacred Sexuality Energy Healing Sessions, and the Sexual Healing E Mail Attunement ( both offered on my website: http://www.lindawhitedove.com ) will help facilitate the flow of stuck energy.
Before I end this month’s update, I would like to share, with permission, feedback from someone who has used the Sexual Healing E Mail Attunement. I hope it will encourage you to give it a try:
During my very first attunement, I immediately recognized an imprint of shame and guilt within my second and third chakras. As the attunement continued, I started to cry and had a wonderful release. The second one was very much the same. I’ve since also had some in-person sexual healing with another energy healer that I’ve seen for years and moved a great deal of energy. But I truly believe that the attunements made it possible to go deeper than I normally would have. I’ve gotten to some very ‘grass roots’ beliefs that have been sitting in my body and greatly affecting my experience of my own sexuality.
I’m looking at the world through very different eyes these days; softer eyes. Last night, my husband and I made love for the first time in over a month (and since we’re currently choosing to bring through our first baby…this is particularly important!) and it felt completely different. Normally, I would become almost paralyzed with fear just at the thought of having sex. But last night I was excited. Physically, I was more open than ever. Normally, the initial phase of the intercourse is somewhat painful for me and last night there was no pain whatsoever. And I had an ‘unassisted’ orgasm, all on my own!!! Yeah!
So, thank you Linda. I will definitely do the entire 12 week series of attunements. I’m starting to see that our sexual energy is more than just how we relate to one another through sex. We ARE sexual beings in literally everything we do as human beings.
Thank you again for all that you do. This is a real blessing for me.
Love & Light, A.J.
