Sacred Sexuality – healing the heart and soul

“Sacred sexuality is about experiencing levels of ecstatic bliss and unconditional love and, most important, bringing these experiences into our daily lives. It’s ultimately about living bliss and not just feeling it. In practicing sacred sexuality, you learn to live within the material world while integrating an experience and vibration beyond this world — one that feels ecstatic and almost uncontainable. This vibration translates into consistently feeling unconditional love for all people and things, which is why it can be called living bliss.

In sacred sexuality, all aspects (physical, energetic, emotional, mental, and spiritual) of your being are utilized to arouse the fullest experience possible. With this higher focus, you become keenly aware that you are more than a body. With increased depth and sacredness, it becomes easier to open your heart and allow your partner into the sacred spaces of your soul. Then sexual ecstasy occurs at the point when your bodies are merging with spirit, as you disappear as individuals and become one with everything.

Contrary to most beliefs, sacred sexuality does not obsess on sexual intercourse. Instead, the act of sensual expression is a means to unveil the most vulnerable aspect of your being, your sexual self. Sacred sexuality offers an expansive experience based on mutual love, acceptance, and authenticity.

Sacred sexuality allows you to deepen pleasure, expand orgasms, and broaden your ideas of pleasuring beyond intercourse. It also deepens the purpose of lovemaking beyond bodily connection to include joining emotionally and spiritually with your partner. With a willingness to bring your higher self (heart and soul) to the sharing of your emotions and body, you reach new levels of Divine Presence.”
