Abstract for Soulful Path of Sexual Empowerment and Healing.
One popular channel of s*xual expression emerging in our contemporary culture is spiritual. Sexual practices based on Ta***ic traditions and new iterations of sacred s*xuality utilize s*xual energy to achieve ascendant states of spiritual union, transcendence, or enlightenment.
There is another path, the soulful path, that is less understood. This path takes a descent, deeper into the authentic Self, into the distinctly personal aspects of being. Deeper into the body, down into the ancient past, into realms of our wild, primal instinctive nature, into the imaginal realms of s*xual fantasy and archetypal embodiment, and integration of the sacred and profane paradox. It is the path of embodied presence, of s*xual empowerment, and healing s*xual shame, fear and trauma. This is the realm of ecstatic s*xual ecstasy and pleasure. It is the path of reclaiming our power from s*x-negative beliefs that keep our authentic s*xual natures hidden and secretive out of fear of the judgement and condemnation of others. And ultimately, by sharing our most vulnerable s*xual truths, the soulful path is one of deep intimacy, trust, love and connection with our partners.
