“WHY ARE YOU AN ADVOCATE FOR sexual awareness & women’s EMPOWERMENT?”

Hand placement- Yoni Mudra

I am an advocate for sensual empowerment because I am an advocate for balancing the 7 chakras of the body. The sacral chakra is the center of pleasure, sexuality, sensuality, emotional stability and creativity. When we carry shame, guilt or pain in this center-- it disturbs the energetic flow of the sacral chakra and becomes a detrimental threat to the pelvic floor, our hormonal glands and our sex organs (the prostate or ovaries). Both the holiness of sex and the importance of developing a healthy relationship with our sensuality and sexuality is openly acknowledged by Buddhist Masters and taught to the youth of their communities at an early age— to foster a healthy introduction to sexual energy, teach them how to cultivate a healthy sacral chakra, and enlighten them of the importance of protecting their vital life force. Because sexuality is often shamed across cultures— due to the oversexualization faced by both men and women and a toxic dating, relationship and sex culture— I find it extremely important to advocate for sensual empowerment in a way that remembers sexuality as sacred, that celebrates the pleasure of intercourse as much as it does the miracle of procreation, and honors the sacral chakra as the rejuvenation center that--literally-- feeds the rest of our bodies life force so we can live long, healthy, sustainable, and fruitful, confident lives..
