Pleasure and Ferocity are the two elemental sensations of many ancient Goddess Wisdom traditions, and they are two sides of the same coin. In this video I share a very simple practice of Pleasure from the Goddess Wisdom tradition from the spirituality of India.
Pleasure, passion, urgency- these are sensations that we have trivialised or designated as superfluous in these times. In fact, to live with passion is now considered a luxury or self indulgence! We are asked to set aside a passionate way of life for a comfortable one, one that services workplaces and economies.
For women, Pleasure, desire and sensuality have other complex associations. For centuries women's pleasure has been repurposed to service others and the experience of pleasure as an elemental sensation of a woman's body has been rendered immoral and dangerous.
In the dance practice of the Divine Feminine, Pleasure is the connection to expansiveness, love, joy, beauty and compassion. It is the sensation that drenches Nature and we connect to Nature at our primordial consciousness level through the sensation of pleasure in our own primordial nature. In fact it is what makes us human in the truest meaning of that term-a compassionate and non-hierarchical unity with all of life.
