Daring to Lean into Pleasure

February 4, 2022

living a life from yoni energy - because you are worthy of it...

Take a moment here to close your eyes, place your hand(s) on your lower belly / womb space, and breathe into it. How does that feel? Now, repeat to yourself: “I am worthy of pleasure”. What is your physical reaction to this affirmation, and perhaps specifically to the words ‘worthy’ and ‘pleasure’? 

I think in our culture, we’ve been taught to be afraid of pleasure, to fear our own sensuality and feminine superpowers. And this fear is keeping us from our deepest, most sacred power. It’s time to activate your Yoni energy. You ready?

Probably not.
Goddess knows I wasn’t (and still in some ways aren’t) ready to uncover that power that is suppressed for so long. We’ve been conditioned to fear this power, exactly because it is our greatest asset as people in a female body. The patriarchal structures in our society knew damn well to cancel that power all those thousand’s of years ago, because it was a threat to the rise of the masculine. 
Can you imagine how powerful our female energy is, when the church, and consequently capitalism, worked so incredibly hard to push it away? There are whole systems build in our culture to keep our most sacred potential at bay. Girl, don’t underestimate the significance of this work!

When I talk of Yoni energy, I speak to the energetic power that resides in what makes up our female anatomy – our vagina, vulva, womb. Basically, the way our pelvis and pelvic floor are made up.

Important sidenote – people in bodies that aren’t anatomically considered ‘female’ can still access Yoni energy, I believe this to be true. It depends on how you identify and how you resonate with this sacred feminine power. I would never want to overgeneralise or leave people’s personal experience out of the equation. Take with you what resonates, lovely! 

I told my boyfriend the other day how it’s absolutely crazy that ‘pussy’ is a swear word used to describe weakness and that ‘grow some balls’ is used to express strength – even though a male’s groin may be the most sensitive part of his body (hey, they can’t help it, but it’s the truth!), and pussies literally birth babies.

I don’t think many people realise the importance of words and shifting, rewriting the stories we create with them. The more we use pussy as an empowering, rather than a derogatory, term, the more we start to believe that in our bodies. The more we start to reclaim words such as vagina, vulva and Yoni, the more we start to embody their power. 

Connecting to this part of your body may bring up deep trauma or Trauma. It may bring up fear, sadness and anger. 

Step one is to sit with that. The only way out is through. Allow yourself to feel all of these emotions, which are equally as sacred as the pleasure and worthiness that your Yoni by default radiates. Letting your tears flow or your rage out are rebellious acts, necessary to unlock this divine flow of feminine energy. 

Step two is to let pleasure in. And when I say pleasure, yes I mean sexual pleasure -enjoying your own body, perhaps on your own, perhaps with someone else. But I also mean pleasure on a greater scale. Do you truly believe you are worthy of enjoying life? Of doing things that bring you joy without it needing to make you money, look perfect or have other expectations attached to them? 

I believe it becomes easier to embody pleasure ‘in the bedroom’ when you feel safe enough to let pleasure in in other, more platonic areas of your life. 

Choosing to experience enjoyment, to actively seek it, to take up space with laughter and fun, creates a foundational layer of safety and selftrust. This baseline will always translate itself into the physical, sensual and sexual aspects of your life. If you feel safe within to take up space, if you know in other eares of your life what you enjoy and what you stand for, you will find it more accessible to you to tap into this in your sex life as well.

And this is what Yoni energy is all about. Taking up space. Being unapologetic about emotions, feelings, your loud laugh or ‘crazy’ hobby. 
Your Yoni is ready to embrace your weirdness. In fact, she IS your weirdness. Your weirdness and wildness.

By awakening the suppressed energy in your pelvis, you will find… 
… your intuitive voice 
… a deep love for your body
… the way home to your truest Self. 

So put your hands on your lower belly, cup your Yoni, and whisper (or shout!) a thank you to her. She’s there, waiting for you to rekindle the relationship with her. She’s there, ready to awaken your wildest dreams.

Let me know in a comment what your relationship with your Yoni is! Want to hear me talk more about this? I also recorded a podcast around this topic: 

pin for later…

#93 How to Own Your Yoni Energy This Year

Moving with Grief (Feeling Love and Letting Go)

_

I didn't know life could feel like this... ⁠
⁠
In the past few months, an internal shift has taken place. ⁠
✨ I feel abundant, regardless of how much money is in the bank. ⁠
✨ I feel spacious, even though I literally moved into a tiny house together with my partner. ⁠
✨ I feel connected to our community, even though all the offerings inside my heart aren't out into the world yet (coming soon!) and I've been more offline than ever. ⁠
⁠
Somethings clicked into place, and I thank all the inner work of the past 6+ years for it. ⁠
⁠
It's not so much the external changes that have provided this shift. I could still be knee deep into self doubt or scarcity, no matter the situation. It's not that. ⁠
⁠
It's that I'm finally embodying where my mindset was - or wanted to be -  all along. My nervous system can relax within all the change and open-mindedness of my current work & life situation. I feel confident about where I'm headed. I feel safe, secure and loved from within. ⁠
⁠
Whew, I am so grateful for that. ⁠
And I wish the exact same for you. 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
Is your heart craving this embodied and empowered change this year? Is 2023 the year you're going to put yourself first, dive deep into your inner world and come out the other side trusting your intuition, feeling happy and confident? ⁠
⁠
Allow me to support you on this journey. Check the link in bio or my stories for the link to book your 30 minute discovery call - I'm opening up two spaces to work with me 1:1 for the next 6 or 12 months. So, if the idea of having an intuitive mentor cheering you on and supporting you through the highs and lows of your journey, get yourself a discovery call with me *no strings attached* and let's see how I can support you this year! ⁠
⁠
It would be an honour to hold space for you x 🧡⁠

2022 - you've been so good to me! 🧡⁠
⁠
With the first ever retreat, the move to the tiny house, and all of its lessons and blessings in between, I've absolutely loved this year. ⁠
⁠
And I can feel that it's time to integrate these experiences even deeper in the time to come. ⁠
I'll be taking a bit of a break in posting regularly and creating, because I feel like there is so much that wants to be shared and offered that I need to sit with that first. ⁠
⁠
From January onwards you can check out all the details for the July retreat I'll be hosting with @drsarahcoxon & when I'll be back it'll be with an incredible community-based virtual experience too. I can feel it brewing. It just needs beautiful, luscious and indulgent time, patience and tending. ⁠
⁠
I'll see you very soon & for now, have a wonderful end to 2022 and a magical start to 2023. ✨ So much love for you, sister x

A word of the year can be a great anchor to reinspire your intentions through the 12 months. ⁠
⁠
But that can also feel like a lot of pressure on just 1 simple word! ⁠
⁠
So what if the process has less to do with 'choosing' the 'perfect' one and more about calling in what feels most supportive for the direction you'd like to take this year? ⁠
⁠
I always get a lot of questions about choosing a word of the year around this time, especially because I've made it our tradition to record a yearly podcast on it (which is now up!). But I can hardly ever give you a good answer on the process of choosing it because to me, it's not really a choice. The word comes to me, usually a few weeks or even months before the previous year closes, and I dance with it for a bit before my heart will anchor on it. ⁠
⁠
It's an intuitive process in collaboration with the Universe. ⁠
So my invitation for you if you're craving to settle on a word for the new year, is to plant a seed with the energy around you to show you some options. Stay open to words, sentences, and energy flowing your way after you've done that. And see what feels exciting, expansive, supportive and maybe a little terrifying to anchor down your new year! ⁠
⁠
Check out the latest episode of the Spiritual Feminist podcast to hear me talk about my process with last year's word and my new 2023 addition. I also include journal prompts and a card pull to help you feel supported during this ritualistic time! ⁠
⁠
What's your 2023 word? (or tell me your 2022 word and how it served you!)

Let's make a self care list together...! 🙏🏼⁠
⁠
In a mentoring call the other week my client expressed how sometimes she felt overwhelmed when she had time to herself. Even in her down time, she felt the pressure to be productive and 'make the most of it'. ⁠
⁠
Gah... can't we all relate?! 😞⁠
⁠
During the session, I invited her to create a list of 5 things that made her heart feel good. Things such as journaling, reading, and guided meditations. And then we created a practice around how she could enjoy these things without feeling like there was a right or wrong way to do so, and instead, invited her to focus on what felt good & what expanded her heart in that moment. ⁠
We journeyed back to what felt pretty damn good, without there needing to be expectation or pressure. 👏🏼⁠
⁠
This is hard work. Deep work. Healing work. 🧡⁠
It sounds so simple, but sometimes reading a book without being distracted or creating a nr.-of-pages-goal is the most rebellious thing you can do for your empowerment journey. 🔥⁠
⁠
If you have a list (or would like to create one), let me know what nourishes your heart! And if you'd like to receive tools and space to release the pressure around your self care and empowerment journey, maybe 1:1 mentorship is the one for you. DM me for more details ! x
