I’m going to let you in on a little secret…(okay maybe more than one.) It’s a secret that I have committed my life to making a secret no more…and that I am just about to get a whole lot more serious about. Well…serious in a truly playful and epically fun way. After all, isn’t that the only way to get serious about pleasure?
Oh yes, I’m not just about to jump off the high diving board that there is no turning back from into pleasure…I have already done it. And let me tell you while sailing through it…the air feels mighty fine…and the water below…I have felt it before…and it is the very juice that makes life worth living, and an act of pure beauty and bliss…ups, downs, and all the rest included…
Many of you know that I have loved myself from my earliest memories, that it is what propelled me to teach what I do, and that it is what guides me in all of the ways I lead my life and make my choices. It has enriched and informed my every experience in this life, and many others, and there is no way that I could ever recommend self-love highly enough…and yet I still try. Since the act of self-love (I teach self-love through the gateway of action versus trying to change thoughts first) is always pleasureful, I am also a pleasure beacon, a pleasure ambassador, a little golden, glowing ball of pleasure really…it is my life and the throb of my heart to direct myself to pleasure, because it is the surest healer, reminder of who we truly are, and guide.
“Oh boy…” You might be thinking…”That is not at all how I live but that sounds good!” I have great news. Living a life of pleasure is not about negating all of your other experiences and emotions. In fact the only way to pleasure is to invite and embrace and envelope all the parts of yourself into one whole…and welcome it all. Self-love is radical self-acceptance, and, as I always say, to love oneself utterly is in fact the most radical and revolutionary act there has ever been. This is the way we will change, and effectively rock in the best possible way, this world more than any other.
So…having said all of this…why am I so fired up at this particular moment? Well, it all started with the Sacred Sexuality Oracle Course I teach every winter. In that course I teach, central to everything, that…and here is the “secret” mentioned at the start…”loving pleasure heals all.” And since the fastest way to enter into pleasure and experience it more often is to increase your self-love, and since self-love is the foundation for every single course at the Oracle School…that means pleasure is at the very heart of my teachings. Pleasure and Love (self-love is love…in fact it is the most direct path to becoming a pure vessel of love in all ways…one’s truest being, that I know.) Quite the combination…and one always, at the most essential and authentic level, generates the other. Really they are one.
So…each year after I teach the Sacred Sexuality Course, and women who have ranged from their late-twenties to their early-seventies have radical experiences of opening that make them bloom, and grow and feel their “juiciest, yummiest, best ever”…and I do too…I feel so profoundly how needed this focus on pleasure really is. So I decided to crank it up a notch…
I wanted to keep pleasure…real-deal, super-strong, pleasure, as my clear focus even more than ever. I decided to do two things…find a way to teach about it even more often and more potently infused with the pure power of the pleasure-loving universe, (which simply requires me being even more juiced up inside…naturally) and to find and read books on the subject of pleasure to add to my Sacred Sexuality booklist. And oh friends…when you know what you desire and you allow yourself to desire it (another key component to bringing about pleasure)…then when it rains, it pours. Because just making pleasure my even bigger number one priority than ever before, changed everything again. That’s what happens for all of us as we deepen into these new layers of self-love.
I have been overflowing with opportunities, falling at my feet, to experience new pleasure and own my desires even more deeply. I have been bombarded with the most pleasure-positive messages I could ever hope for. I have been falling all over myself with the new lightness of what I feel entering in and coming next. I came primed, and I am simply ready to pump. I know…edgy right? Full of potential innuendo? Yup. Because everything seems to begin to insinuate creativity and bliss when you know how to welcome them in, and then life changes right in front of your eyes… And because yes, the lines between spirituality and sexuality are finally more fully blurring away…the lines between transcendent and human…and the blur is oh-so stunningly beautiful…
And you can still cry…and get lost…and suffer. You are just able to love yourself even in your desperation. The lighthouse can still be made out in the distance amid the stormy waters. You are connected…terribly and beautifully alive…and free. You are whole and there is nothing discarded, rejected, or thrown out about you. You are both strong and so flexible that no wind can tear up your roots, or be too powerful for you to fly on either. You are true. And when the wild pain has passed, buffered even ever so-slightly but so, by your reservoir of self-love, you are ready for pleasure again. You are open like you were as a child, or baby, before you knew anything much but love. And yet you are not exposed and unprotected. You are quite literally invincible because you are not afraid of anything dark within you…and you know, no matter what, that you have love on your side. You even know it, deep inside, when you doubt it or believe it at some time to be unreal.
It is time for the summer’s sweetest cherry…on the palm of your hand in the sun…no matter what time of year it is. It is time for the warm sun of your heart to light everything within you. I hope you will join me in this year and ever beyond…on the path of pleasure. Pleasure and love are the heart of all my teachings, and if you cannot be in the Courses, continue to check out my writings here, the Oracle Prophecies, Oracle Messages, and other resources I send out via my email newsletter. I am overflowing, planning to do a lot more of it (stay on the lookout for great new changes!), and would love to do it with all of you, my beautiful Oracle companions around the world…
It is, so very truly, my pleasure…
Love, Jennifer
