Virginity. The first experience. The movement from what is known into what is not. With this in mind, welcome to my first blog and thanks for witnessing my leap into the unfamiliar. Although it’s not always comfortable, the truth of it is, I love popping my own cherries. I feel sexual in those moments of juicy liberation, and sacred in my vulnerability.
When Cheri asked for a contribution to her blog, I was apprehensive at first, and admittedly, resisted my little heart out. I just didn’t know where to start and that’s where I got stuck. It was the same for me with both sex and spirituality. I knew there was more to sex than what I’d experienced up to that point, and I also knew there was more to life than simply existing. What I didn’t know and couldn’t comprehend at the time, was how deliciously entwined they were. When I discovered that little tidbit, my world exploded.
Throughout the years as I’ve tripped and bumbled along, soared and skyrocketed into the stratosphere, I’ve finally taken full ownership of my sexuality and recognized its sacredness. It has been one of my greatest teachers, healers and challengers. It’s also been a blazingly glorious ride!
I encourage everyone to get to know their sexuality and their sacredness. Some will jump in with eyes wide open, while others may cautiously dip their toe in. There is no right or wrong way, there is only your way. Many spiritual traditions offer their own viewpoint and insights on sacred sexuality, which can be a fantastic starting point for those daring explorers. Ultimately, the expedition is experiential and not conceptual allowing each of us to create our own personal perspective or definition.
I’ve always been a seeker, looking for the next experience leading the way into a deeper understanding of myself and life. I’ve learned that sometimes they come to me and sometimes I have to rummage around for them. Either way, I’m often surprised at what is revealed. So now that winter has ended and spring is in the air and in my step, I’m off once again, climbing on a new branch of my journey, looking for few more cherries to pluck along the way.
Wanna join me?
