ALL Paths of Sexual Expression Can Lead to the Sacred
The more deeply I've explored my sexuality, โ
โ
Coming into subtler + subtler awareness, โ
โ
The more ๐ฌ๐๐๐ซ๐๐ I recognize my sexuality to be. โ
โ
My earlier years of promiscuity or more casual sexual encounters were incredibly valuable and I would never wish to change them. โ
โ
But as I've touched deeper layers,โ
โ
I've learned that my body's wisdom cannot be accessed or shared without deep reverence: โ
โ
1) My own reverence for the intelligence within me, โ andโ
โ
2) The man's reverence for what it means to relate with me in this way โ
โ
So many cultural & religious "teachings" we receive around our sexuality attempt to convey this sacredness. โ
โ
But they fall so short... โ
โ
Because they attempt to have us honour the sacredness of sex through prescriptive rules, shame, & morality. โ

โ
And of course - someone who does not deeply EMBODY the wisdom of sex cannot transmit it to others. โ
โ
So it becomes necessary for a woman to discover the authentic power of her sexuality by first rebelling against the oppressive "rules" she has been given for how to conduct herself. โ
โ
This is why so many women "reclaim" their sexuality by doing the very things they've been shamed for. โ
โ
It's essential to her empowerment. โ
โ
Because first she must see that her sexuality exists for HERSELF. โ
โ
This understanding is what allows me to embrace the "uncleanliness" of the sexual empowerment journey. โ
โ
Discernment - while empowering to me now - was not always that way. โ
โ
And ultimately ALL expressions of sexuality can be a doorway to the recognition of its sacredness.
