Sex & Consciousness

Hello Gorgeous!

As you probably already know, I was introduced to the concept of sacred sexuality back in December. Like RAW food, I was like wait...THAT exists?

I immediately wanted to learn more. As I had understood sex from a young age was that a man and woman have vaginal intercourse, the guy ejaculates, the female might orgasm but most don't or they fake it, which is totally acceptable, and then you move on with your life. Sometimes it's enjoyable and you don't sleep with more than one person at a time. You don't cheat. These are the rules. Play by them or be called a slut.

Seriously though, is that ALL sex is?

Have you ever questioned your view of sex?

Because mine is completely different than it was 6 months ago. Completely.

This weekend I'm spending in Sedona at a conference called Sex & Consciousness. It's about being present when you are with someone, admiring them, enjoying their energy. Having a mutual exchange of love. Bringing in the love. It might sound rather "out there" but the essence of it all is love. Just love. Universal & personal.

Let me tell you, there have been plenty of uncomfortable instances this weekend in learning and meeting people who teach tantra (& help people heal sexually) but the overall experience has opened up my entire being to new possibilities. It's amazing how "stuck" our culture is sexually...and it's really sad.

When I started to think about it, we really are a culture & specifically a generation wedged between a hugely profitable porn industry and our "little" selves that are supposed to be great at sex, look sexy and know exactly what we're doing even though we haven't been taught and the main connections we experience are through the computer or with our cell phones. I don't judge this, but it is our current reality and I think it's really important to look at.

Let me ask you, could you sit facing your love and look deep into their eyes for 5 minutes, 30 seconds even? Could you hug them, your head to the right of theirs (heart to heart), fully pressing your body to theirs and breathe with them?

Today, I had the most awakening experience. I was in a class and we did a partner exercise. We were sitting in chairs across from each other and looked at each other eye to eye. Then, this person took my hands and admired them. He sat there and looked at them, tracing the lines, feeling the fingers and just enjoyed my hands. We were told to breathe together, so we did. As I breathed in, so did he and as I let go, as did he. That was it. We closed, said Namaste and listened to the teacher again. It was sensual.

My hands felt like they were pure light. They felt gorgeous, loved & I felt so safe. Safe to express myself as Terra Rose, safe as a human being. Why? Because he WANTED to be there looking at my hands. There was no time limit, there were no expectations, it was just pure timelessness in a timed world. Pure love for the whole of humanity being focused on the lines of my hands.

Reconnect.

I love love love love you.
