Pleasure Is

PLEASURE IS THE PORTAL TO RADIANCE, LOVE, ABUNDANCE.
And no-one has taught us how to access it. No-one has taught us  how damn important pleasure is for our self care, as a vital part of who we are and how we live our lives.
As a result, we often end up in this place where pleasure is the LAST thing on our list. It’s the thing we keep putting off. The thing that comes after we’ve done stuff for everyone else and ticked off all the shoulds – if at all.
And by that point you’re often drained. There’s little left in the tank and the tv sounds wonderful (but not netflix and chill – *that* requires too much energy).
PLEASURE is such a phenomenal tool. It takes a women from feeling the joy has been sucked out of life into a space of feeling turned on towards life.
PLEASURE may not be what you think. It’s likely to be so much simpler than you can appreciate.
Pleasure may be SO FAR from your reality because you’re literally swimming through massive waves trying to keep up, but I’m telling you, in fact, I guarantee, that with a little bit of pleasure something will lighten. The waves will lessen or your swimming skills will be stronger.
PLEASURE is the tool that stops us getting caught up in a cycle of drama and only talking to each other about the shit in our lives.
PLEASURE means we have more room to celebrate, to want to know about the good things in life rather than relating from the shitty stuff in life.
PLEASURE wasn’t taught to us by our Mothers (unless you were a courtesan then it literally was passed down the lineage) nor by our aunts, teachers, friends, and often not even by our lovers.
BUT IT IS TAUGHT BY ME. Because I see a gap. I see a need. I literally see that pleasure is the missing link. The thing that pulls everything together and makes life doable. Heck, not just doable, but fun, and well, pleasureable.
