Date Posted: 22:39:37 04/11/05 Mon In reply to: John 's message, "What is sensuality, how can we promote it?" on 18:21:42 04/11/05 Mon I continue to find through this "empirical approach to the art of sensuality" many discoveries that I would never have thought fell into my definition of sexuality. The term 'sexuality' versus the term 'sensuality': Sexuality for me is a dry word, while sensuality is fluid and alive. When i think of sexuality it seems dry. Sensuality seems wet. Sexuality is something I read about not something i feel. Sensuality is a way of life. What is sensuality and how to we promote it? How I do it is by being me and taking care of my body so that I can live with this level of sentience. It takes the maintenance of a spiritual condition along with it. Have you ever read Candace Pert's book Molecules of Emotion? Great book about how every cell of our body contains the mind, just as the brain cells contain the mind. Promoting sensuality by letting ourselves be as sentient as we are and therefore attract others to want what we have because it feels good. That is a basic way. And a fun way! I no longer sit at a desk all day looking into a computer screen being served big fat muffins and doughnuts all day long, getting a jolt at mid afternoon to get through the day and working out like crazy so as to feel a bunch of endorphins, driving home watching tv, or surfing the internet wondering who i will see at what bar over the weekend. Thank you God. Or I can do all that and actually be happy doing it because i know there is so much more to my life than just seeking out sensations that are ultimately unsatisfying. Feeling, sensing others, feeling, sensing my insides, feeling, sensing, breathing, watching, hearing, intuiting, tasting, contracting, releasing, opening, closing, blinking, stretching, dancing, swallowing licking, exhaling, inhaling, sniffing, smelling, smiling, crying, emoting, moving, grounded or watery or airy in step or ballet like with grace or heavy with weightedness of foot, i live day to day in a sensual world. Where my reality is now is that I feel more. And it is intense just sit quietly on a park bench. Not intense bad or good either way necessary just intense, kind of like when you were little and you could spend an hour just watching a rain drop slide down a window pane. Many yoga postures/asanas are named after animals. There is a particular book on yoga that asks that as you do the pose feel yourself as that animal on the mat. What would a cobra feel like - what would it be like to be a lion, or the cat or the dolphin. It is a cool way of doing yoga because on the mat you can get more or a sense when you are on all fours or on your belly on the floor, that we are animals. Mammals with heightened senses, with pheromones in our nasal passageways, with the ability to smell eachother, hear through these funny shaped things on the outsides of our heads! And even link menstrual cycles. We take a woman's hand and can feel her coming if she is in orgasm,or we can feel her simply by proximity even without proximity but by wanting to. We feel as much as we are willing to feel and as little as we are not scared of feeling. Sensuality for me has been a lot about letting go of fear and letting feeling just be there as it is. Like a cat's whiskers i can walk blind into my lover or my neighbor or a stranger and feel him before our skin brushes up against one another. I always thought the idea of chakras was airy fairy but my lower chakras actually were shut down and when they began to open through these practices I have learned here, I realized that they had been closed and that they were particular regions, call them whatever you want, chakra is one descriptive term. Anyway, how for me, the lower chakras open, stomach down to pussy and thigh, ass region, was through the particular stimulation on my clitoris, in a way and with a level of skill and attention no man or woman ever put on me. Like blasting healing energy into my body's inner wounds and dark spots, doing has opened the way for orgasm like opening a gate. DId you ever dissect a fetal pig in highschool and have to inject blue dye into the veins to see them apart from the arteries? IT is kind of like that. Orgasm injected into me through another touch pushes its way and fills me up. Only i am not a dead animal, rather incredibly sentient in the experience and opening up because the blue dye is like nectar that heals. It seems that I am made up of many channels that somewhere along the way got blocked, may be if I lived during the time of the Clan of the Cave Bear, I loved that book in junior high, then i would not have so many closed channels. So some blocks can clear and when they do you are more of a conduit for sensual energy and that is how you best promote it I would say. When more of your supposed "pain" (maybe real maybe imagined) has dissolved, when you are choosing to live in the moment in reality rather than in your created suffering comfort zones, when the moment can bring to you whatever it does and you can receive it as it is, when you are more attuned and aware of different textures, different more piercing pains, or more aching ones, another's voice its tone, the feeling of the truth versus nontruth as it comes out of yourself or another. A sensual life for a woman, I would say is that she GETS the gift of getting to live inside of a defrosted body. Rather than seeking sensation and responding to a man's desire she responds to her own, lives as its slave in fact. Lives with it as a compass perhaps. A useful one! A woman's turned on body. A very different experience than turned off. She gets to be like a clock that ticks rather than is stopped and waiting to be wound up. Her parts seem to align, that whole 'spirit-mind-body' idea seems to make sense, rather than simply be jargon or a goal to acheive in once a week in yoga. What it doesnt have to mean is being threatened because you are turned on. Instead it is like your power is given back to you though you then realize you had it all along.. you just gave it away cause your mom did the same and so did her mom. And there wasnt any other woman doing it any other way so you just copied what you saw. I lead a sensual life because I feel it. Or I feel the pain of when I dont. Time is spent differently, differently distribute my attention and energy. Sensations can still be very dull but they can go far more intense. There really is more pain, more discomfort more pleasure and far more joy. There's more space for love inside, best of all. With partners, together we can enter a new arenas together where there is less need for thought and more time spent in our sensations and in the allowance of them. I have noticed that orgasm travels in my body longer and into more spaces musculature or bone or tendons or feet or hands or ears or backs of knees or asshole or thighs or toes or even beyond like in my aura i can feel it there sometimes like i am inside an orgasm bubble completely surrounded and filled. Any other animal with heightened awarenesses of its surroundings and feeling sense would probably relate to this if it could talk to us! We keep increasing the volume on our surroundings and adding more caffeine to our systems as if to get a high when it just comes from stillness and sentience, the most extreme kind of living is actually feeling life, feeling ourselves, feeling orgasm, now that tops the top. This is the promotion. Its happening as we speak/feel. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
