Awakening the Wisdom of the Body
posted by Lukas Sato
The body is a sacred temple that houses our essence, our soul. It is a vehicle for experiencing life and a source of profound wisdom. However, too often, our connection to the body is neglected in modern society, and sexuality is reduced to mere physical urges.
Tantra invites us to awaken the body's wisdom, to reconnect with the sacred force we carry within us. It is an opportunity to explore and experience conscious sexuality from a deeper connection with our body and our essence.
The discovery and exploration of sexuality in a conscious way goes through the connection with the body and this is essential. It is through the body that we experience pleasure, intimacy and connection with our partners. However, too often, the focus is placed only on sexual gratification, and emotions and connection with the other are neglected.
Awakening the body's wisdom in conscious sexuality means being present and aware of all sensations and emotions that arise during sexual interaction. It means honoring the body as a sacred temple and treating it with respect and love.
By practicing mindful sexuality, we can learn to connect more deeply with ourselves and our partners. We can experience greater emotional intimacy and a stronger sense of connection with one another. Furthermore, tantra teaches us to channel sexual energy throughout our body, creating a sense of expansion and connection to something greater.
To awaken the wisdom of the body in conscious sexuality, a process of self-knowledge and connection with the body is necessary. Meditation, yoga and mindfulness practice are some of the tools that can help in this process. In addition, it is important to be present and aware during sexual activity, paying attention to the sensations and emotions that arise in our body.
In short, conscious sexuality invites us to awaken the body's wisdom and reconnect with our essence. It is an opportunity to honor the body as a sacred temple and experience greater emotional intimacy and connection with our partners. For this, a process of self-knowledge and connection with the body is necessary, as well as being present and aware during sexual activity.
