Day 14 :: Portals to Pleasure
Compliments of @lisalovisarowe
Tapping into our pleasure these days is easier said than done. We often end up in places where life is nothing but duties, doing, and caring for others. We try to keep up with tasks outside of our control. We struggle to stay afloat.
So how do we break that pattern?
We take the tiniest action step, a Tipping Point. And once we dive in, it becomes easier to ride the wave, living life in a new and exhilarating light.
As long as your body is moving, walking on this Earth, there is a FLAME inside of you. And any of your senses, the traditional ones + balance + any other sense YOU might have, are portals to these sparks. Living a pleasurable life is a lot about having the courage to live as yourself, transmuting the fears that literally hold you back.
Closing your eyes, and feeling the tiniest wave of a satisfying sensation, is a precious start.
Be open to experiencing more, without the need of trying to find a logical answer, ask yourself – what do I want to experience more of?
@lisalovisarowe Reflects on her beautiful experience, her portals into her own pleasure:
I was really young, traveling with my family. Late, summer evening dinners, walks alongside the beach. Me fantasizing about being an adult, to finally become free.
Heavily seduced by the mixture of the smells – the barbecues, the perfumes, cigarette smoke. That mixture, still so seductive, in the summer heat. Seductive as that Spanish man I met as a teenager. Muscles, tan, sweat, hungry lips. And me, wanting nothing but him.
Many years later, during terribly painful times, I’ve closed my eyes to feel that smell again. Inhaling it, heavy breath. Still seductive, still so promising.
His name was Andrés.
Tiny steps, Tiny moments, Tiny glimpses of connection. Dip your toe into the Sacred Portals to Pleasure and then dare to jump in!
