I invite you to give yourself radical permission to experience more pleasure – in both big and small ways – daily.
This is so that you live and love to your fullest – dating feels easier, relationships and connection flow more, and you’ll experience a greater sense of wholeness, nourishment and satisfaction.
Often we are resistant to pleasure. It can feel unfamiliar to allow ourselves to fully go there.
Or like an indulgence that, if experienced too much, might somehow be unsafe or dangerous.
These narratives of course, are counter to the numerous studies that have proven how pleasure is immeasurably good for our bodies, hearts and minds.
So to get you started, here are a few small ways to get on the path to pleasure:
Surround yourself with small pleasure-providing ‘objects’
And pick them up throughout the day
Gather items that engage your sense of touch in a beautiful way and place them around the rooms of your home. When you pass them by, take a minute to stroke your forearms or your face with a texture that feels good.
Simple objects that work great for this:
Feathers: Keep some feathers (peacock / ostrich / a feather boa) in a vase on your desk
Silks (faux or otherwise) : and satin-like scarves
Furs (faux or otherwise) : a soft fluffy rug to run your feet through as you sit at your desk during the day is an easy way to get a hit of pleasure
2 minute sunrise / sunset touch to connect with your body
Build your heart / womb connection and experience the nourishing pleasure of wholeness
Open and close your day with 2 minutes of connected conscious touch. Set snooze on your alarm for 2 minutes in the morning and a timer in the evening before you drop off to sleep.
Use these 90 seconds to connect with your body gently in the following way:
A simple gesture of erotic love to self is to place one hand on your heart and the other at your sex centre at the level of your womb.
Send the love from your heart down through your body to your womb.
Pick up nourishing soft womb energy and send this energy mixed with the love from your heart right back up your body completing a love circle.
Set a pomodoro ‘pleasure timer’ and dance, dance, dance
And take lots of mini-breaks to move your body throughout the day
When I co-work with other women via Zoom, we use the pomodoro method to keep a rhythm with work that ensures we focus and also get breaks. On those 5 minute breaks, we put on some music and move our bodies in whatever way feels good.
Movement is key to keeping energy flowing throughout your body.
And dance brings joy…and yes, pleasure.
I would argue that the future of work is to do what feels most exciting, joyful and blissful in our bodies, hearts and minds.
Love has already worked this out.
If you struggle to find love, or are in a relationship and could use some support with experiencing more pleasure in it, send me a message. I can help.
