...Sensuality is an enriching experience that transcends mere physical touch. It invites us to explore openness and vulnerability, creating deeper connections with others. By engaging in mindful touch, we enhance our awareness of each other's desires and boundaries. This practice cultivates intimacy, as it encourages honest communication and emotional safety. Each caress becomes a dialogue between bodies, transcending words and allowing us to connect on a profound level. Embracing the art of sensuality fosters trust, reigniting passion and curiosity in relationships. It's a journey of discovery, inviting us to celebrate the beauty of human connection through the transformative power of touch.
Speaker 2:Hey everyone, welcome to Pleasure Principles, where we dive into the art of elevating joy and connection in our lives. I'm your host, avik, and today we are exploring a topic that's equal parts thrilling and transformational. Yes, sacred sexuality. So imagine like intimacy, not just as something you do, but as something you experience on a deep, almost spiritual level. Right. So, here to guide us on this journey is the incredible Satya Leela. So welcome to the show, satya.
Speaker 3:Thank you, so good to be here.
Speaker 2:Lovely, lovely. So before we start, I'd quickly love to introduce you to all of our listeners, satya. So, dear listeners, with over 30 years of experience, satya has helped thousands of people unlock the sacred, ecstatic side of their relationships and connect with a whole new level of intimacy. So buckle up, because today we are diving deep into the unlocking true pleasure that through the sacred sexuality. So welcome to the show again, satya.
Speaker 3:Thank you. Yes, it's going to be a fun ride.
Speaker 2:Definitely so, satya. I'd like to start. I mean if you can share for the listeners who might be not much in detail aware about it, but if you can share what sacred sexuality means to you and how does it differ from the conventional intimacy.
Speaker 3:Okay, yes, well, sacred sexuality is bringing a sense of the sacred into lovemaking. The sacred can really permeate all of life. But often sex is kind of the last frontier Because there's so many society attitudes about sex being shameful and hidden away behind closed doors and all that kind of stuff. So it's bringing a reverence to sexuality. As if you think about a rocket taking off into space. There's this fire under the rocket that propels it upward and the sexual energy is like that fire. You can learn to harness that fire and move it up the spine to awaken the different energy centers in the body and have this ecstatic experience of merging with divine energy. So it is a pathway of awakening and it's also a way of being with your attitudes towards sexuality and also your attitudes towards your partner, seeing your partner as a divine vessel for the sacred energy.
Speaker 3:So it's a very different experience. The practices are very different than most people's experience of sake of sexuality. It's much more relaxed and slower paced. So the whole body gets awakened and energized and it can lead to a much, much higher level of pleasure than the kind of rush through it and get to the good stuff model that many people embrace, or by default, because they may not know of anything different. So that's kind of a brief overview of what it's about and how it's different. We can get more into details too, about and how it's different. We can get more into details too. But I wanted to check in and see if you had any other questions you wanted me to answer before I go on.
Speaker 2:Lovely, lovely, great. Well, thank you so much for sharing this. It's very, very important, yeah, and for those of us who might feel a bit of skeptical, so how is sacred sexuality different from just doing things slowly and mindfully?
Speaker 3:well, um, it's the attitude mostly. It's uh there. Well, what I find is that often people get drawn into sacred sexuality because it increases your level of pleasure. That's possible in your body and that's where the techniques come in. It's slow and mindful, and those are some characteristics of it, but then when people get into it, what they find is there's the possibilities of awakening are so huge.
Speaker 3:I'd like to tell you a little story about an experience that I had, because I think that would illustrate it. I was with my partner and we were making love and he was pleasuring me and I was kind of lying back and being just receiving and being open, open, and I had the impulse to imagine my body as a portal to divine energy. And I saw, I did that for a moment and then I, I saw, I had a vision where there was a black background and the shape of a portal in gold light with rays radiating out in all directions, and I felt that energy of this mystical portal, that I embraced it through my body. And then, the next thing, the next moment, there was a shift and I was just in this expansive, white, beautiful light, love source, god, a samadhi.
Speaker 3:There's many words for this experience and none of them are completely accurate because it is indescribable but it was blissful and it was a glimpse of enlightenment. It was only a glimpse. It just gave me a little bit of a moment to know that it was there, and then it disappeared, probably because I was like, oh God, this is so cool. And then once you start grasping at it like that, then it kind of evaporates usually so. But it was a milestone in my spiritual path. It was a moment of awakening that showed me what the possibilities are, and so that's how it can be a spiritual, sacred experience. That's one way anyway, that it's that happened with me yeah, exactly, definitely, yeah.
Speaker 2:So what do you see to the listeners who feel that they're missing out on deeper intimacy but don't know where to start? I mean, how can they tap into this energy?
Speaker 3:well, um, there are some very simple practices of breathing and moving that help to awaken the whole body. One of the most simple practices is to breathe when you're making love. Many people hold their breath and tighten up their bodies and what that does is it keeps all the pleasure localized in the pelvis and it can't move through all those tight muscles. So if you relax and keep breathing and opening, it allows the energy to spread out and move up the spine, and that movement up the spine activates the upper energy centers that give you that sacred spiritual experience. So that's one way to start that all you have to do is breathe. But remembering to breathe can be a big deal. Just start watching and noticing when you're not breathing and then, when you notice that you're not breathing, take a breath and open your chest, open your belly and let the energy spread out, and that that's a great way to start.
Speaker 3:There are also some ways to have a deeper intimacy with a partner. You can do that that breathing thing that I was talking about with a partner or on your own. And if you want to deepen your intimacy with a partner, then breathing together and looking into that each other's eyes is a wonderful way to start, like falling into each other, connecting more deeply. The breath connects your energy and evens your energy out so that you have a more of a deep connection. And I actually have an offer, a free gift, of a guided intimacy interaction that you can use either as a couple or in a mirror with yourself. If you want to go to my website and look under the free stuff tab, you'll find some meditations that will guide you into doing this, so you can listen to me guiding you in a short meditation that is quite beautiful and helps you drop in more deeply and intimately. So that's, that's a way that you can start with a partner diving in more deeply that's.
Speaker 2:That's really lovely one. I would say thank you so much for sharing this, and also like, uh, and also like listeners might be curious that are sacred the least. Well, the physical is important.
Speaker 3:It's fun, it's pleasurable, but the energetic and spiritual connection is what really keeps it interesting and fascinating, especially if you're in a relationship that's lasted for a while. If it's only physical, it can get boring. It's just like rubbing body parts together. You know, there's only so many ways that you can do it. But the paying attention to the energetics of the touch and feeling the energetic connection like oh, it's here and oh, now it's over here, oh, it's sweet, you know it's. It's infinitely fascinating because it's always different, and so the energetics lead to the spiritual awakening and the emotional connection, and those, to me, are where the juice really is, where the excitement really is, because all that makes such a multifaceted experience that it's never the same, and so it keeps it thrilling and interesting and loving and passionate and soft and wild, and it's just very varied and very. It really keeps you present to do that.
Speaker 2:Got it Understood, yeah. And like, how do you respond to people who feel that sacred sexuality sounds great in theory but doesn't feed into the modern relationships in the daily life?
Speaker 3:oh well, you know I understand there are a lot of people are really busy modern relationships and daily life, you know daily life can take over.
Speaker 3:But you can. You can use the practices of sacred sexuality for just an instant, just like reach out and grab your partner and pull him or her to you and just look into each other's eyes and breathe together for just a moment and dip in and feel that connection and then going okay, we have to go and do what we're doing now, but there's this moment that has nourished you and nourished the connection. And having those moments interspersed between those busy times of doing, doing. Doing, which so many people get into, helps, um, kind of keep, keep the relationship connected so that when you do have a time to be together, you're already more connected than separate because you've been doing these little mini, many deep dives. They're not as deep as the deep, deep dive, but they're. You know they. They keep it going and that's a really good way, if you're really in a busy life, to keep your relationship happy and flowing so that you can have a deeper connection when you do have the time to do that.
Speaker 2:Also like what's a simple and beginner-friendly practice that couples could try if they are interested and experience this deep of connection.
Speaker 3:Well, you can do something that is really fun. It's really really fun. What you do is you build the energy and Build it up, but don't let yourself get to the point of orgasm for a while. You can eventually get there, but you build the energy up and then, when you feel like you're getting close, you take a breath, pause with the stimulation and just relax and let the energy spread out all over your body. Let your fingertips feel it, Let your toes feel it, Let your toes feel it, Let your head feel it, and then that will drop the energy down a little bit and then start building it again once it's cooled off a little bit. Build it up, cool it down. Build it up, cool it down. Build it up, cool it down as long as you can up, cool it down, build it up, cool it down as long as you can, and it will lead you to a level of pleasure that is beyond what you might have experienced before. It's mind blowing. So it's in a good way.
Speaker 2:So yeah, exactly that's true, yeah, so, so, um, uh, like you have guided thousands of people like, so what's the biggest transformation, um, that you see in couples who commit to this practices?
Speaker 3:um, well, it kind of depends on where people start, for some people are starting trying to fix their relationship. You know, maybe there's been some betrayal or trauma or maybe they've just drifted apart, and what I see there is it's a slow process of learning to trust again. That's the first step that happens and eventually, after that, once the trust is built again, you can build into a relationship that's more and more and more ecstatic. But the first step is usually just wanting to um, touch each other again, wanting to connect again and and being open to doing that. And if somebody comes in there and they're already open, then the, the path is much faster and it's um. It's more about the kind of um.
Speaker 3:The higher levels of pleasure is usually the next step where it's like, wow, this is really fun, I can't believe, this is so great, you know, and um. Then, and then the step beyond that is starting to use the sexual energy as a spiritual practice, as an opening into divine energy, into the light that I described earlier. That's usually later on, as you get more adept with the practices. So it's kind of an unfolding that happens. That depends on where you start.
Speaker 2:Got it, got it. So what's one piece of advice you would give to someone who feels disconnected from intimacy and wants to reignite their spark?
Speaker 3:This is a piece of advice that is good for either people in a relationship or people who are not in a relationship and want to reignite that spark for themselves. And again, I have a guided meditation on my website and the free stuff to guide people through doing this. But I'll briefly describe it here. It's basically to stand with your knees bent and start moving your pelvis around in circles, rocking it back and forth, moving it in circles, Just moving. It is all you really need to do, but those are some ways that would get you started and feeling the pelvis as a cauldron that holds coals of fire and they're coals because it's not flaming in you. But then when you take a breath, you breathe to the coals and, just like when you're trying to light a fire, you blow on the coals and they start glowing brighter. The breath that you take to your pelvis makes those coals glow and you just imagine the fire starting to build in your pelvis and you can kind of move and dance, let your whole body move and be free form with it.
Speaker 3:Whatever feels good to yourself. Feeling good is a really good guide in this kind of work because it's about pleasure. I mean, your whole podcast is about pleasure and feeling good is a really good guide to be in deeper pleasure and bigger awakenings. So that's something that you can do on your own. That's very simple. If you want a guided practice, you can find it on my website and it's a good starting place. Imagining the fire keeps rising up the spine as you move hotter and hotter. You know that's a good place to start.
Speaker 2:Lovely, that's great, great, great. So thank you so much, sathya, for opening our minds and hearts to the world of sacred sexuality and to our listeners and hearts to the world of sacred sexuality and to our listeners. Always remember that there's a deeper, more fulfilling way to connect that goes beyond the physical. So absolutely.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so, whether you are in a relationship or just starting your journey of self-discovery, exploring the sacred sexuality can be a way to find more joy, intimacy and pleasure, and every part of your life. Yes, so so, like before, we move as a day, if someone wants to connect with you, how they can connect well, I have a website it's called such a Lila dot info.
Speaker 3:On that website I have those recorded meditations that I've mentioned already. I also offer a free sexual communion gateway session. That is a phone session where we can talk about your particular issues and I can help you get clear on what your challenges are and create a vision for what you want instead and give you recommendations for how you might get started with that. So you can find ways to register for that on that website too. It's called Sexual Communion Gateway.
Speaker 2:Oh, lovely, great. So, um, dear, dear listeners, uh, thank you so much for joining us today and until next time, keep embracing the principles of pleasure. So, thank you so much thank you.
