An essential ingredient in re-awakening the flow of Life-Force energy is PERMISSION...​

PERMISSION to feel & express authentically.  Dropping the "shoulds" and stepping into awareness of how connected you already are to the FIELD that moves you, that invisible force that magnetically draws you towards or away from opportunities, movements, challenges, relationships, etc. allows you to embody the full expression of WHO YOU ARE and for PLEASURE to blossom moment to moment.

We tend to seek and desire things we believe we don’t already have – freedom, connection, intimate relationships, deep nourishment, etc.  Yet pleasure is not created by external events or people.  Only when you take full responsibility for your own pleasure and give yourself permission to explore all the ways you deny yourself pleasure can you release the blockages to the flow of erotic energy in your body and in your life.  We’ve been conditioned not to recognize our own power to heal ourselves.  What I offer is to hold non-judgmental space for your unique process and serve as a guide for you to re-awaken the parts of you that have been ignored, lost, or pushed away and whose re-integration will ignite your capacity to access your LIFE-FORCE (ie. EROTIC NATURE).  Being authentically whole and the capacity to feel pleasure are deeply intertwined.  Cultivating permission to feel YOUR pleasure and being held and witnessed as your authentic self creates a self-reinforcing cycle.

TANTRA, as I live it, is largely about relationships and non-attachment.  Three of our most prominent principles are the Inner-Marriage, Everything is an Experiment and The Healing Power of Pleasure (you can read more from Kali Rising by Rudolph Ballentine).  The Inner-Marriage explores how we can have both 2 parts of our being (feminine and masculine) AND be one and whole...which of course seeps into every relationship in life.  We are individuals yet simultaneously one with Gaia and all other beings and Source.  As we reflect on this seemingly opposing interpretation of reality, we receive a peek into the nature of the Universe.   Our culture tends to latch onto loved ones, beliefs, practices, etc. and want teachers to give them an exact prescription of what to do and how in order to heal.  Yet, as the Universe seeks diversity, what worked for someone else may or may not work for you in the same way.  So looking at everything you do as an experiment removes pressure around "succeeding" and gathering the data brings you back into the body to notice how that experiment made you feel.  PLEASURE IS EPHEMERAL.  However, we tend to tether our concept of pleasure to a quite limited range of things that have brought us pleasure before - ice cream, sex, watching movies, etc.  When we open to flow with what is, pleasure can be experienced in almost any situation.  Detaching from our habitual ways of seeking pleasure can in fact open a whole range of delights we can't even imagine.  
Somatic Sex Education is an exploration of your true erotic nature that has been stuffed down into submission to conform to cultural norms of behavior.  It includes expanding your awareness of pleasure in your body, practicing and enhancing your capacity to feel pleasure, working with voicing boundaries to create choice and safety and attuning to your own body's natural expression.  The process of creating a permissive enough environment, both internally and externally, is an essential foundation to undertaking this immersion into what has often been bound up for a long time.
