How to Normalize Spontaneous Displays of Ecstacy

We are not used to feeling good. Or witnessing others feeling good. Instead we glorify our exhaustion, our busy, our suffering because that somehow makes us worthy.

False.

When we express our enjoyment at the Everyday: Our steaming latte, the crisp morning air, how cozy it feels when we put on our coat to go outside–we allow ourselves to be attuned to MORE enjoyment, and we coax the same from others that witness our enjoyment!

Have you ever been with someone who laughs at everything? Their joy and laughter is contagious–we are wired to begin to experience delight WITH them via these cool little things in our brains called mirror neurons.

YOU can be that catalyst.

People are not used to seeing the Feminine express pleasure: It is so foreign, in fact, that SENSUALITY is often confused with SEXUALITY.

Sighs, giggles, caresses and nuzzles aren’t only how we express sexual pleasure, it’s how we express our enjoyment in general. However the only context we tend to see expressions of enjoyment is in a sexual situation.

Solution: Express your pleasure MORE.

Caress your Sherpa jacket, slowly massage your hands or neck, gratefully MMM at your lunch, squeeze your friend’s shoulder in appreciation, sway your hips to the music in the grocery store.

Your enjoyment is Creation moving through you–it is Life Force, Creativity, Manifesting & Inspirational Energy. It is the Source from which everything comes from.And do it in public. Because the more people see it:

  • We destigmatize Joy & Delight

  • We empower others to express their pleasure

  • We get used to experiencing feeling good and therefore feel good MORE OFTEN

Pleasure-Finding is a Spiritual & Self Care Practice: What can we LOVE about this moment?

Then: How can you express your joy in a way that feels true to you?

Assignment: How are you expressing your delight today?
