Discover the Power of Your Sexuality!

So each month I muse on a topic that we, as women, can not only relate to, but that ultimately can lead us back to our feminine power. 

I write on our cycle's, rhythms, ways we can empower our selves, give tips, yoga practices, and advice, but this month I want to give some 'lip service' to one area that I haven't... until today.. and where I feel there is a lack ~ our sexuality. 

Really, this topic goes in hand with everything else I muse on... like a vibrator and batteries. 

We can buy the vibrator but without the batteries the purpose is lost. 

Same goes for talking about menstruation, cycle's, seasons, and empowerment, because with out uncovering the topic of sexuality we are missing the hole purpose.   

In the world of sex there is a great deal offered to women on topics like How to Have G-spot orgasms, How to Give Better BJ's, Tricks on the Steamiest Sex yet to please your man, and How to Have Hot Foreplay.

Sex (and being 'good' at it) has become something else to add to our 'To-Do' list. 

It has become goal oriented and results focused. 

(I got all these topics from Cosmo magazine btw, so yes, they are real and every single pun is intended!)

To me, these are sure signs we have lost our power connected with to sexuality.

Why?

Because as women we access our spirituality, INpowerment, and creative energy "through movement and body awareness," says Maureen Murdock, which I also know to be true. 

Some of you know I have started to take pole dancing classes. 

I LOVE them!

Not only does it force me to face discomfort, feel uncoordinated and like a beginner again, but weekly I am meeting with some parts of myself that I have disowned in the past. 

When we deny any part of the body, like our ass, breasts, and/or yoni, we are inhibiting our spiritual development, as well as our ability to create and discover our true feminine power. 

When sex is something else to do, perfect, or achieve, we are diminishing it's power. 

Sex and sexuality is intimately connected to our ability, as women, to create. 

We might create babies, businesses, money, careers, novels, insights, relationships, art, or homes. 

Our uterus and ovaries are literally, figuratively, and energetically our creative space.

Every Wednesday morning after my pole dancing classes, I write like a mad woman. 

The creative pulse driving, churning, aching to be freed. 

It took me weeks to really notice this, but now, I refuse to do anything or be anywhere on Wednesday's to honor this pulsation. 

Maybe there is a time where you remember your a parent/guardian telling you:

"Don't touch yourself there, it's not appropriate."

"Little girls cover them selves up."

"Sex is dirty and bad."

"Only loose girls have sex."

"Cleavage is slutty and people won't take you seriously."

Or perhaps you have been told your are a whore, a time you thought of yourself as slutty, or someone has called you sexy and you you blushed and replied "No....teehee."?

Or maybe the first time you had sex and your parents found out you got reprimanded instead of them asking you how you/it felt? 

Maybe there were feelings of shame or guilt attached? 

Perhaps it was a form of abuse or rape, physically or emotionally?

If any of these hold true for you, then most likely you have dismembered a piece of your self. 

There is so much healing for us to do personally and collectively to reclaim this disowned (often shame filled, guilt ridden) part of our self and the collective. 

Most likely 'she' has been pushed to the basement of your being, the Seductress/Prostitute/Femme Fatal, completely ignored. 

Problem is that when we ignore or avoid any part of our selves, they show up in other ways to try and get our attention. 

So in this case ~ addictions, loss of libido, infertility, fibroids, shame, pelvic pain, and emotional instability. 

Did you know that the major nerve to the vulva is called the pudendal nerve, and that the root word from which it is taken means shame!
(Thanks Christiane Northrup for pointing this out)

But our sexuality can also provide great power when properly channeled ~power like creativity, deep love, intuition, and increased self-esteem. 

We are Divine creatrix's. 

To create is our birth right. 

"There is a quality of the feminine that empowers us deeply and that is the ability to move with the creative impulse."

When we disown parts of ourselves like our sexuality and sensuality, we are cutting off our ability to move with this impulse, honor rhythms, know intimately our cycles, and embody the season's of our lives, and experience Shakti. 

To reclaim theses parts of ourselves means that we reclaim our right to feel, to healthy sexuality, to our sensuality, to our emotional states, and to intimacy, pleasure and orgasmic joy. 

Not meaning it has to culminate in a sexual act, but to reclaim it means that we own it, embody it, wear it, and feel it within and without. 

"Does it make more sense to be at war with your body or to work with it? Sexy is not thin. Sexy is not meeting someone else's expectations. Sexy is having such a good relationship with your body that no amount of magazine ads taunting you will ever put you at war with yourself again." 

So we, this tribe, will begin the healing process by tapping in to the Inner Seductress.

She who doesn't give a shit about the ads, knows that sexuality is power-full and is ok with it, and that dirty, raw, and vulnerable will ultimately lead us to deeper states of Love & Light. 

And together, we will create BE-YOU-tiful homes, careers, businesses, books, families, relationships, and lives.
