I think we can all agree 2020 has been far from easy. Now more than ever, our wellness is critical...I am sharing my secret to cultivating peace & wellness...the answer is simple: GRATITUDE.
I recorded a guided meditation to help facilitate this. Take a listen...tell me what you think. Gracias!

What is anxiety? In its simplest form...it’s just an overwhelming rush of emotions (often negative)...remember emotions can't hurt you but bottling them up can be a burden. We can all heal through talking.... that's the power of theray and connection.

-----

¿Qué es la ansiedad? En su forma más simple ... es solo un exceso de emociones (normalmente negativas) ... recuerda que las emociones no pueden lastimarte, pero detener la expresión de la emociones puede ser una carga pesada. Podemos sanar con simplemente hablar...Eso es el poder de la terapia

🚫Myth: penetrative s*x, especially my first time, will hurt
: S*x should NEVER EVER HURT!!! - Lack of comprehensive s*x education leaves us with a lot of misconceptions about s*x!

Much of the s*x information given to men is about pleasure whereas women tend to receive more fear based information...if you anticipate penetrative s*x to hurt, you’ll likely tense up and it will hurt. The mind is a powerful thing and what you think will manifest in the body!

If penetrative s*x ever hurts, it’s likely an indicator that you aren’t wet 💦 enough (i.e. not enough lubrication), you are not relaxed, or there might be something medically or psychologically going on and you should talk to your doctor and mental health professional.

So remember, consent, lots of l**e, peaceful/present mind & safe s*x (i.e. use protection) make for great s*x! Listen to more of our convo & let’s continue to !

What myths were you told about s*x? Drop a comment below 😊
