Pleasure, Beauty, and Capacity — EP136

Ah, pleasure and Beauty in your life…

What if more things could feel pleasurable or good?

How about feeling aligned and guided in life from inside?

What if you were so present you savored each moment, and even in discomfort, you could extract pleasure from it or experience it differently?

You can have it all. You are worthy of deep and juicy pleasure.

This episode is a primer with six ways to discover and deepen into what pleases you, whether that be simple joys, sexuality, purpose, or sensuality of any kind.

Also: Pleasure is the compass to your essential being, enhancing your capacity to feel, releasing shoulds, digesting pleasure and what might come with it, and the Ability to Respond (Response-Ability) to your Spirit.

Your Support Means So Much!

If The Embody Podcast, my writing, or guided healing meditations have inspired you, helped, or spoken to you, it would mean the world to me if you would show your support through a small donation.

Each creation is lovingly made from my soul and takes anywhere from weeks to a few days to develop and produce. I gladly pay an editor who supports me in polishing and creating high quality content.

As little as $2 help nourish my podcast and other creations to continue to have life and cover costs.

You can also take a look at my offerings which can deepen your embodiment on your own journey. Proceeds from those offerings also help me in the creation of more resources and material.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am so appreciative.
