Webster Dictionary defines sacred as: worthy of religious worship : very holy : relating to religion : highly valued and important : deserving great respect
Webster Dictionary defines sexy as: sexually appealing, attractive, or exciting : having interesting or appealing qualities
The world we live in and most mainstream religions want us to separate the sacred from the sexy. The most common gene
ralization of the sacred is that it is pure, spiritual, and not of the body. The most common generalization of sexy is blonde hair, blue eyes, toned body, 25 inch waste, and manicured skin. The surface views of both of these words does all of us a great injustice. What if we discover the sacred--the very holy and highly valued--within the sexy? What if we discover the sexy--the attraction and appealing qualities--within the sacred? What if we begin living our life as if our sexual energy were our life force, the most powerful and purest center we live and engage our world from? What if we begin recognizing that we can not be whole, complete, self-and-other-loving humans without a deep relationship with our sexuality? What if we discover that embodying our sexual beings is a wholly sacred and spiritual act? I am currently in the process of writing my master's thesis on the suppression of sexuality within the Christian Church, the spiritual trauma experienced by humans because of this suppression, and the profound healing effects that embodying our sexual selves has on body, heart, and soul. I've done a lot of research and have read many books, and yet many questions still remain open. One thing quite clearly coming from my research is that I want others to understand, interpret, and engage with this material. It is such an important topic that shouldn't be kept to an academic piece of writing. It's a topic that needs air to breath and ruminate within, a topic that wants to be held, expressed, understood, loved, wrestled with, and transformed. It's a topic that I am diving into deeply, on all planes--the physical, emotional, and spiritual. I have already documented some of my journey on instagram (), but that platform didn't provide enough space to share articles, quotes, or in-depth details of my own transformation, nor did it provide a lot of openness to public discourse. Therefore, I decided to create this page to both document my unfoldment of my own embodied, sexual self, but also to engage with a wider community on these topics of love, sex, relationships, spirituality, and transformation. Not only am I writing my thesis on this topic, but I am also actively engaged in Tantric courses, particularly from the Taoist tradition, in embodying and healing my sexual self. Beginning January I am part of a 600-hour Coaching program in Sex, Love, and Relationships, which will propel me much further into these embodied waters of sexual awakening. User terms of this page: I am open to engaged conversation, curiosity, questioning and discussion on these topics of sexuality, sacredness, healing, embodiment, and spirituality. I am NOT welcoming abusive commentary, patriarchal ridicule, or religiously cloaked criticism toward my body, my educational pursuits, or my personal reflections. Anyone who chooses to engage this page for any of those reasons will be promptly blocked.
