Jade Eggs and the Practice of Pleasure with Usha Rose

What's your relationship to pleasure? I'm talking your personal pleasure... not what you think you should like, not just orgasms, not just what you do out of habit or routine or to please others.But actually what you want, what feels good to you, in your body, in your life.How much do you prioritize *that* kind of pleasure in your life?If you're like most of us, it's probably rare.We live in a world that glamorizes productivity and minimizes taking the time to be present with ourselves. Which leads to much of the 'pleasure' we experience being by default, or based on what other people want. As sacred sexuality educator Usha Rose says in this week's podcast, "most of us are people pleasers." It's how we're socialized. It's not your fault that you might not even know what you want, or even think to consider it on a deeper level. But pleasure is your birthright, and in this episode we explore everything from how to begin noticing what you like, to what might be standing in the way of your own pleasure (hint: SO many things), to specifically how a jade egg practice is a tool you can try to enhance your personal embodied, orgasmic pleasure.It's packed with wisdom and practical steps to support your pleasure. And you deserve it. We all do. Listen to this episode to learn:why pleasure matters in your life (it's not just sexual)some practical ways you can explore + enhance your own pleasurehow our sense of safety + security can play a role in our access to pleasurewhat a personal pleasure practice is + why you need onethe basics on working with jade eggs + how to get startedthe sensual, sexual + health benefits of a jade egg practicecontraindications and considerations around jade eggshow sensuality, sexuality and spirituality are all relatedResources:Check out today's shownotes, extra resources + links to Usha's workEpisode 19: Pelvic health + liberation - the importance of softeningEpisode 16: Healing from narcissistic abuse + trauma Free guided womb embodiment + energy clearing meditation If you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!
