Engaging in eroticism enables us to maintain a sense of aliveness, vibrancy, and vitality. But many of us may wonder, what does eroticism truly mean?

The erotic landscape is vastly larger, richer, and more intricate than the physiology of s*x or any repertoire of s*xual techniques. It’s the unexpected yet welcomed touch on a great first date; it's noticing how late summer rain feels on your skin and inviting your lover outside to experience it with you; it's traveling to a brand new place and experiencing it unfold before you. As Octavio Paz has implied, eroticism is the poetry of the body the way that poetry is the eroticism of language. Eroticism is cultivating pleasure for its own sake.

What are some ways you like to bring eroticism into your life?

For me, eroticism is trying new things, going new places, making new connections. It’s also remembering the ancient things you’ve long forgotten. Prompts from my card game, Where Should We Begin? A Game of Stories guide me to do just that. I invite you to enter into a practice of exploration, curiosity, connection—not just physically, but energetically, emotionally, and psychologically.

Urging us to turn away from voices perpetuating harmful stereotypes, gender equality advocate Gary Barker shares three insights on fostering a culture of care, compassion and connection among men. "We are the most wired-to-care species on the planet," he says. "But if you don't use it ... you don't ...

Often times we are bombarded with the next best solution, or healer, coach, therapist or exercise routine to give you the answer. 

What if I said that your road to a deeper yes in your body is by beginning to trust yourself. 

Trusting is accepting and allowing yourself to be in that “no” or “yes”.

What are some steps we can take to be in a better trusting relationship within ourselves?

🧠We are smart. And by we, I mean our mind and nervous systems, collectively. As living-breathing-beings we are wired to consistently meet the demands and threats (or seemingly threatening) in our lives.

🧠Trauma is an event or experience that threatens the survival of the individual. In other words, a threat is trauma and trauma is a threat. So anything that threatens the individual will force an adaptation.

✏️Research has shown that the brain's reward and pain systems are interconnected and can interact with each other. The brain's pain system can modulate the activity of the reward system, leading to changes in how we perceive and respond to rewarding stimuli.

✨Luckily, there’s always an opportunity for change, regardless of how long you have lived with the discomfort.

✨I get it…Change is uncomfortable; even if the change is healthy and productive.

✨Awareness of our adaptions can set us on the path to change.

4️⃣ Key elements to a healthy relationship with pain:
Stop avoiding/ignoring your pain.
But, don’t over-exaggerate its threat, knowing that perception of pain changes with time.
Be-friend your pain. That’s a new signal for change.
Re-discover new and different ways of creating movement to send different signals to the brain.

Just know, that all that you ever wanted and dreamed of is waiting your allowance and recognition to be born and reborn again. There’s a but..

…it begins with an allowance….

…it’s sustained with the focus of desire…

… and there is no end. It’s an ever-knowing, am ever-loving and ever-creating.

How else would we want to live in this lifetime?

Circa 2007, where would she have been if she didn’t have the Freedom of Choice.

The freedom to choose a life that would better serve the world. The freedom to say “no, not yet, but soon…”

It wasn’t an easy choice, but it was HER choice.

It took years to mourn and say goodbye to this entity. Her pelvis held memories of the day: countdown “3,2,1… as the Anesthesiologist put her down. The rosaries as plain as day thrown as weapons as she walked into the clinic…The moment of awakening to a deep feeling of emptiness and drowsiness. Not a single moment wasted there. “Get up and get out, there are others coming through the pipeline.”

…Would she ask for these moments ever again? No, but what if she had to, again? Then, maybe.

She just needs the CHOICE.

THIS freedom has allowed for her to become the human she is today, imperfect, but with an imperfectly good heart.

This freedom and its pain is what made her, her. It’s what made me, me.

I can hold stronger, love deeper, yearn harder, travel the depths of this beautiful Earth longer, think softer and fight for what my Spirit wants.

I sit in deep reflection over the Supreme Court’s decision, in solidarity with everyone single woman, child, baby (born and unborn). In these depths, I hold compassion. In these depths, I hold empathy. In these depths I will hold that fear and anger too.

I hold for you…In Love, and Peace.

What is… present moment experience.

Giving up on an idea, plan or personal endeavor can feel like failure. Use your body to guide you…

It’s not our fault, but yet we can’t help but feel this way…

So what do we do?

Whether its a set wellness plan, recovery and rehabilitation, career endeavor, or project, we are attached…
..attached to the work we’ve put in thus far, the small victories and the idea of its perfection and fruition.

But there comes a point where we decide to either keep going, change direction, or give it up all together.

Often times the decision is mirky, uncomfortable and unsettling.

So we stick to initial plan because it’s comfortable…..

Until the plan itself becomes mirkier, uncomfortable and un-settling.

It’s ok to accept shortcomings, discomfort, and imperfection.

Often times we have to sit in it long enough until we transmute that energy.

How can that transmutation show up in the body❓

1️⃣short bursts of excitement
2️⃣sense of lightness in our shoulders and hands
3️⃣the sudden drive to perform good deeds for someone or yourself
4️⃣a new bout of inspiration and creativity

Allow the results of this transmutation to make your decision, not your mind or reasoning.

…However long it takes.

Follow your body and repeat “I am in flow”.
