Many people feel guilty about taking their pleasure. Often this comes from societal programming.
Perhaps you grew up in a very repressed household without affection or the acknowledgment of pleasure. Maybe you never had the modeling for how to enjoy pleasure? Don’t despair. I’m here to help you feel more sensation and pleasure with this sensation experience you can do solo or with your partner.
First, let me ask you. Are you taking enough pleasure in your life, {FIRST_NAME Lover}?
Did you nourish yourself and your family today?
Have you gotten some sunshine?
Did you perform some small act of self-care?
Did you notice something beautiful?
Or take a moment of gratitude?
When you give pleasure its rightful due, the satisfaction you feel toward your life instantly improves.
Today I ask you to take a moment to create an opportunity for pleasure.
Many of life’s sensual pleasure comes from feeling sensations in your body.
SENSUAL BREATHING EXERCISE
Today I want you to lie down flat, close your eyes and look inward.
You can do this solo or with a partner next to you.
Do a body scan. Are there sore parts? Tingly? Dull? Jumpy?
Use your lungs like a bellows — a long, soft breath all the way in (about six counts).
Then a long, soft breath alllll the way out. (6 more seconds.)
Even your breathing so that you are going in and out very smoothly.
If your mind wanders, bring it back to your body sensations and breath.
Bring your breath to all parts of your body. Start with the areas that don’t feel good.
Breathe into them with a loving thought.
Then breathe into the parts that feel good, alive… make them come more alive with your breath.
Next, breathe into your genitals. Spend 5-10 breaths just bringing awareness to your vulva or penis.
See if you can warm your genitals with your intentional breathing.
Take as long as you’d like breathing and feeling yourself. This exercise will naturally come to an end.
You will arise feeling refreshed, turned on, and more pleasurable.
