How to overcome the inhibition of nudity during the session?
posted by Deva Karuno
What did you learn about nudity while growing up? Did you learn that it is wrong, that it is a sin, or that your body should be covered?
In that case, it is natural that you feel inhibited about nudity today. What you learn as a young person is deeply etched in your mind and in your cellular memory, becoming a deep-rooted belief in which you carry on for many years, having a hard time getting rid of it.
Early conditioning and nudity
Do you want to get over it? Do you feel that a life lived carrying the weight of all that conditioning is limited?
However, does fear arise every time you approach and try to challenge it? Every time he tried to approach that fear, he felt uncomfortable, it was painful. And to not feel again, you dodge.
And if that fear didn't hurt you anymore, stop being painful?
If your belief that something can hurt you is strong enough, that belief will have more authority within you than the truth. The old conditioning can remain in your cellular memory, as well as in your mind. To undo this belief, you first need to bring kindness to yourself, the welcoming.
Openness to a different possibility
Now, what if, instead of all the fear linked to shame, you could be open to a different possibility?
Their nakedness is an affirmation of their innocence. Because this is how you came into the world - perfect. What if you accepted your beautiful nakedness, no matter what your body shape or size, as an antidote to shame?
Shame is one of the biggest barriers to intimacy; intimacy not only physical, but emotional. To begin with, that was never your shame. Passed on from generation to generation, it's time to put it to rest. And if your inhibition or fear of being naked, it doesn't come from childhood conditioning, but from ...
· Being overweight, having scars or physical conditions that embarrass you.
· Comparing yourself negatively to other people.
· Having been criticized by a partner.
· Lack of confidence after a traumatic separation.
· Being in an abusive relationship.
Do you have an internal conflict going on, or maybe you have an internal conflict because you are breaking an agreement with your partner?
In that case, fear and the sense of inhibition have a purpose. He's doing a great job of letting you know that you may be about to cross a line that may not be of interest to you in the long run.
You can be foolish in seeking to overcome that fear, because fear is not always a bad thing. Sometimes it is as if wisdom speaks to you. If you have an internal conflict, it is advisable to resolve it before proceeding. It would be wise to identify what is behind your fear or anxiety and not immediately assume that it is a bad thing, just because it looks uncomfortable.
Overcoming your inhibitions and fears
If you want to overcome them, you have a choice, to live paralyzed by your fears, or to draw courage from within, to win the victory over them, gaining freedom. In whatever you do in life, when you are stepping out of your comfort zone, fear will arise. It's normal. The question is whether you choose to let fear win. Or if you find the courage in your heart to face it. To grow, evolve, expand.
Tantric massage is a way to face your fear gently and begin to undo your shame. It is a space where you will be lovingly accepted, affirmed and welcomed.
