Feeling pleasure is how we let love in.
By Anna Thea — Written on Oct 03, 2017
Knowing how to channel feminine energy involves healing awakening and nurturing your sexuality. Pleasure and receptivity are a big part of having the ability to channel feminine energy.
Many women in our society carry sexual wounds. If you have been sexually abused, you have wounds in your body from those experiences. This blocks your ability to channel feminine energy.
Knowing how to channel feminine energy could be completely foreign to you because you've built up walls and ways of being as a protection mechanism.
Maybe you weren’t sexually abused. Collectively, the consciousness of this world is such that it has wounded most everyone’s sexuality. Men, too, have been sexually wounded.
If you want to channel feminine energy, you need to look at your sexuality and heal, awaken, expand, and put more love into it.
This is a bigger subject than I can cover in one article. However, rest assured, pleasure and receptivity are the paths for knowing how to channeling feminine energy.
In A New Earth, Eckhart Tolle speaks of "the pain body", a residue of emotional pain stored in the cells of the body.
What women need to know is that there is a magnificent, marvelous, and mysterious counterpart to that, "the pleasure body." The female body is designed for sensual pleasure, and the female brain is wired to give us an opportunity for the full experience of those pleasures.
If you are not experiencing pleasure in your body, then you will not know how to channel feminine energy.
Women are the leaders of love. The masculine way to lead is through conquering. The feminine way is through surrender — surrendering to our innate desire to lead with love and feel great sensual pleasure in our bodies.
Feeling pleasure is how we let love in.
It is this love that allows us to know how to channel feminine energy. The more we calm our busy minds, the greater the opportunity to experience deep love and become a channel of feminine energy.
If you have had body image issues, you hold pain in your body. It is time to let that pain go. Allow pleasure in.
Pleasure is the path to learning how to channel feminine energy. Opening up your body and letting pleasure in heals body image issues. When you let love and pleasure into your body, you stop the internal battle you may be experiencing. This allows feminine energy to flow and you become a channel.
The problem is that we're not programmed to open up to and accept delight and bodily pleasure.
Historically, we haven’t had a safe space for such receptivity. It takes some effort to change our attitude and programming about pleasure.
Pain may motivate because we want to avoid it, but pleasure heals. When you take time and learn how to open deeper into pleasure, you will heal the relationship you have with your body. And then you will finally experience the joy of how to channel feminine energy.
Pleasure is the secret to know how to channel feminine energy!
Your ability to feel pleasure is related to your ability to open and receive. We live in a world where the natural tendency is to react by shutting down instead of staying open or opening up. In new situations, you can easily be suspicious, defensive, or judgmental. It takes effort and consciousness to keep yourself open.
That is why pleasure may be elusive for you. I am not only referring to sexual pleasure or overall pleasure in your body. In general, we are not raised to be receptive.
For example, what happens when someone gives you a compliment, maybe on your nice dress? Do you fully receive the compliment? Might you make sure the person knows there is a flaw saying for example, "Oh, there’s a hole or a snag here at the bottom", instead of staying open, receptive, and truly receiving the compliment?
Somehow, it is automatic to find fault and not fully receive the compliment, smile, and say "thank you". The next time someone compliments you, notice your response.
See if you can stay open and receive the compliment with zero resistance. Notice if you can receive the compliment without acting on an impulse to return the compliment. Practice simply receiving it. This is the basis of how you channel feminine energy.
When you become more receptive you will not only create more pleasure in your life, you will channel feminine energy automatically!
Ask for what you need to create more pleasure in your life. To make love with your body, you’ll have to learn the language of needs and feelings. Unmet and unacknowledged feelings get bottled-up and stuck in your body.
You must feel and understand your needs and be able to ask for what you need. Learn how to feel and be present with your uncomfortable feelings. Go through them instead of stuffing them in order to get to the good feelings (pleasure).
You don’t have to do it alone. Get the help and support you need. My educational program for women addresses these issues. You need support and know how to navigate uncomfortable feelings.
Do you have the support and know how? Are you using them?
Creating a safe space is also important for cultivating receptivity.
When you are relaxed, you feel safe. How can you open and receive when you are in fight or flight mode, stressed out, or filled with anxiety?
In order to open and receive, create safe spaces for yourself. If you are by yourself and do vibrational nourishment exercises, make sure to do them when you have enough time and won’t be interrupted.
If you are being intimate with someone, make sure it is in a setting where you feel comfortable and uninhibited. Choose to be intimate with someone who is also safe to be with, someone who values your needs and is attentive.
There is nothing worse for a woman’s receptivity and pleasure potential than a selfish lover.
