I wanted to kick off 2022 by diving into the rich landscape of emotion. The emotional realm is often seen as murky, even dangerous. When we step into the emotional realm, we're stepping into the realm of the archetypal wild feminine.

Most, if not all of us have been heavily conditioned from a very early age that our emotional range is  "too much" and as a survival skill we've  learned how to to shut down or numb out certain emotions rather than feel them.

 We've been taught to label emotions as "good" or "bad" and censor accordingly. But we can't selectively numb. When we limit our emotional range we limit our orgasmic range and capacity to receive pleasure and experience joy. 

Reclaiming our emotional agency is not about feeling "good" all of the time, but rather building skills to get good at feeling. 

When we do, it creates the deep self trust and confidence necessary to more fully receive pleasure and create deeper intimacy with ourselves and others.

I riff on:

• The universal ways that the emotional body has been neglected

• Emotions and motion; movement heals

• Emotional blocks and the impact on our pleasure and desire

• Emotional blocks and orgasm

• Emotions and the nervous system; flight/fight/freeze

• Why we want to become more parasympathetic-dominant pleasure zone

• Emotional work and orgasmic cultivation

• The Taoist Healing Sounds (see resources for more)

• Emotions as energy and fuel

• Early childhood and emotional conditioning

• Being told we're "too much"

• Emotional Gaslighting

• Inner child work

• Our emotional range and orgasmic range

• The role of your Inner Pleasure Queen (see meditation in resources)

• Pleasure as a hack to activating the Sacred Feminine Code

• The power of acceptance and approval; The Taoist Inner Smile
