Trust in ourself is the most potent catalyst for connection to our sensual & s€xual bodies. Trusting ourselves allows for the ability to reveal - to expose - ourselves fully to the other.
When we can do this; when we can trust ourselves to be ourselves, there is a dissolving of the fear of life. Fear is dissolved bc we move out of the over-thinking mind, which will always pressure us to analyze, & into the sensing body.
Trust in ourselves to surrender to the moment is facilitated via the sensing body. Presence is much more accessible from here than from the grasping-for-fear mind. You know?
You know.
This shift - out of headspace, into the sensing body - brings us into the present & into presence.
When we are present, we are resourced. When we are resourced, we trust ourselves to be exposed to the other. We trust ourselves to do anything, really. & from this place, a beautiful feedback loop of self-trust feeding into presence & presence into self-trust is ignited.
From this place we learn to heal the learned tendency to look outward for answers & begin to trust the legitimacy of our very own, unique experience. To trust ourselves, regardless of circumstances. To trust our inner authority.
How does this relate to sensual & s€xual bodies?
EZ as pie 🥧✨
Tapping into those sensual/s€xual energetic bodies requires us to:
1. Be willing to be in our bodies, and
2. from there, be willing to open our bodies to ourselves, the other & the environment.
3. To truly do this we must be willing to be surrendered. Willing to release control (the illusion of) & to trust the sensations of information & our ability to meet them; to be informed by them.

This allows for pleasure, for healing.
Butterfly-effect-kinda healing.
Ripples upon ripples.
Healing that no one can give you, but that you, in your process, practicing this feedback loop of self-trust & presence will cultivate. & you’ll know it’s REAL bc it comes from within.Trust in ourself is the most potent catalyst for connection to our sensual & s€xual bodies.
