Sensuality
Have you ever felt a surge of joy while lost in the melody of a song, or a wave of calm wash over you as you watch the sunset? I love them and I truly believe that these moments are glimpses into the realm of sensuality.
However, the term “sensuality” often conjures images of sexuality. Sensuality isn’t just about sex; it’s about immersing yourself in the present moment, savouring the pleasures of life, and connecting deeply with your senses and embodied wisdom.
This article explores how Yoga of Embodiment, among other practices, can foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of sensuality.
Understanding Sensuality
Sensuality is about more than just physical touch—it encompasses all five senses. It’s about being fully present in your body, appreciating the beauty of the world around you, and savouring every moment.
Unfortunately, our fast-paced lives often distract us from these experiences. By focusing on sensuality, we can start to reconnect with our bodies and the world around us, thus enhancing our overall well-being.
How to cultivate Sensual Awareness
To cultivate a more sensual lifestyle, consider integrating practices like dance, embodied movement, and yoga into your routine. These activities encourage intentional movement, allowing you to connect with your body and mind in profound ways.
Yoga of Embodiment: This style of yoga invites you to be present in each pose just as you are, breathing, feeling, sensing into the depths of your wise body. It’s a style of yoga that focuses on how it feels to be in the body, more than how it looks. By being within this space we are able to open up to a deeper connection to self and to the present moment.
Dance: Dancing is a powerful form of expression that allows you to move freely and express your emotions and sensations. It’s a celebration of life and movement, bringing you closer to your physical presence.
Embodied Movement: This practice involves being aware and sensing how different parts of your body move and feel. It supports you in releasing tension, unlock and release stuck emotions, and find joy in simple movements.
Incorporating sensuality into your healing journey through practices like yoga, dance, and embodied movement can lead to a richer, more fulfilling life. By slowing down, being present, and appreciating the beauty of the moment, you can deepen your connection to yourself and the world around you.
Remember, sensuality is not just about sex; it’s about living fully and experiencing life to its fullest. It is about feeling alive within your own body
