For too long, the topic of female sexuality has been feared, misrepresented or simply brushed under the carpet. But hey! It’s time to bring out this juicy three letter word out in the open. A woman’s journey into her inner mysteries is incomplete till she owns her sexuality.
Sex is all around us: in songs, films, advertising and publishing and the multi-billion dollar pornography industry. Yet there are no coffee table conversations about orgasms, libido or sex as meditation. If someone doesn’t know French or how to play the piano, we expect them to learn from the experts and achieve mastery. But sex? Well, figure it out on your own and never bring it up again. We are often left with very little or no information about having better sex or more intimate, loving sexual relationships.
Sex is life. Every living, breathing being on our planet is a result of sex. Whether we want a fulfilling relationship, a thriving business, more financial abundance, enhanced creativity – to paint that masterpiece, write that best selling book – or simply to experience more bliss and peace in your life, understanding and embracing your sexuality is the way to do it. When our sexual energy is flowing easily and smoothly then everything flows more easily and smoothly.
Sex to me is intriguing from a spiritual perspective.Ancient teachings such as Tantra and Taoism understood the importance of sacred sexuality on individual and collective consciousness. These arts regarded sexual energy as the most powerful human energy and a source a of health, creativity, longevity and spiritual awakening. They were dedicated to the study and exploration of this primal energy source to expand consciousness and deepen intimacy. They understood that when sex energy was blocked everything fell out of equilibrium.
Get familiar
Your sexuality is not separate from you. You are it and it is you. The sooner you learn to accept and love this aspect of yourself, the healthier and happier you will be. If you’ve developed negative ideas about your sexuality, either through cultural messages, past relationships or sexual trauma, resolve them as soon as possible. Consider this your most important relationship and a study into your inner mysteries. There are treasures waiting to be unearthed.
Enhance your sensuality
Being a sexually empowered woman doesn’t mean you have to rely on sexual intercourse or even a partner to get there. If you’re often told by people that you’re ‘too sensitive’, consider that a compliment going forward. In the sexual realm, activating your senses is the pathway to divine sexuality. Really take in the smells, sights, sensations, tastes and sounds that surround you. Feel your body touching the chair as you work, feel your mouth burst with flavors as you eat, feel your body sway to the rhythm of music, and feel the tingling pleasure when you jump under the shower. Every moment of every day is an opportunity to become an alive, feeling, sensual being. With this enhanced state of awareness the act of lovemaking is turbo charged and extremely pleasurable.
Our sexuality when integrated back into our existence becomes another powerful source of intuition and wisdom.
For women this integration results in the birthing of a new avatar, a goddess who possesses an inner radiance, a light that shines from the inside out, a confidence, self-assurance, a feminine power that touches everyone and everything.

I completely agree with you! Sexuality is a part of who we are.
Puja says
Absolutely Udo! 🙂
Ella Pelayo says
I am guilty of this. Probably because I was raised in a generation and culture where this is still considered taboo to speak publicly about it. But you are absolutely right in everything. Made me think I should be adding a time for this in my calendar too (winks*)
Puja says
Ella, thanks for stopping by. Most women I know and work with (including me) have had the same experience as you. Our culture is not sex-positive and sex has been an unexplored mystery for most of us. Its time though to dissolve all the shame and guilt associated with sex. I highly recommend putting it on the calendar. We don’t hesitate to make time for food, sleep and exercise, do we? Sex is as much a source of nourishment.

We are a prudish society, it would be good if we could be more open about sexuality.
Puja says
I’m with you Krystal. Thanks and love
