Healing Our Emotional Blocks to Pleasure

I wanted to kick off 2022 by diving into the rich landscape of emotion. The emotional realm is often seen as murky, even dangerous. When we step into the emotional realm, we're stepping into the realm of the archetypal wild feminine. Most, if not all of us have been heavily conditioned from a very early age that our emotional range is  "too much" and as a survival skill we've  learned how to to shut down or numb out certain emotions rather than feel them.  We've been taught to label emotions as "good" or "bad" and censor accordingly. But we can't selectively numb. When we limit our emotional range we limit our orgasmic range and capacity to receive pleasure  and experience joy.  Reclaiming our emotional agency is not about feeling "good" all of the time, but rather building skills to get good at feeling.  When we do it creates the deep self trust and confidence necessary to more fully receive pleasure and create deeper intimacy with ourselves and others.I riff on:The universal ways that the emotional body has been neglectedEmotions and motion; movement healsEmotional blocks and the impact on our pleasure and desireEmotional blocks and orgasmEmotions and the nervous system; flight/fight/freeze Why we want to become more parasympathetic-dominant pleasure zoneEmotional work and orgasmic cultivationThe Taoist Healing Sounds (see resources for more)Emotions as energy and fuelEarly childhood and emotional conditioning Being told we're  "too much"Emotional GaslightingInner child workOur emotional range and orgasmic rangeThe role of your Inner Pleasure Queen (see meditation in resources)Pleasure as a hack to activating the Sacred Feminine CodeThe power of acceptance and approval; The Taoist Inner SmileResources:Learn more about the Taoist Healing Sounds in this episode of Wild MenopauseDownload your Inner Pleasure Queen Meditation Here.Download a list of vocabulary words for Describing the Felt Sense Here.Book your FREE Pleasure Queen Activation Session with me here.Check out my online program Second Spring Queen here.
