Day 17 – Pleasure | Expand Your Pleasure Potential (FEQ)

In this feminine embodiment practice, you are invited to expand your relationship with pleasure. Pleasure comes in many different shapes, flavors, and forms. Yet many of us have learned to associate pleasure only with intense desire, passion, or peak moments. And when we don’t feel that fiery energy, we often disconnect from pleasure altogether — waiting until it “comes back.” As women, our bodies move in cycles. Our energy naturally shifts between softer, yin states and more active, fiery, yang states — and so does our pleasure. Pleasure is not one-dimensional. It can be subtle, nourishing, spacious, warm, alive, sensual, or deeply grounding. This video is part of the 21 Day Femme Embodiment Quest — a journey through feminine qualities to embody, unlock, and remember the wisdom that already lives within you.

Hi, My name is Dika and welcome to the FEM Embodiment Quest. Today is number 17 and the word and the theme that we're working with today is pleasure. Now, Pleasure can come in many different shades, Flavors and forms. However, Many of us think of pleasure as this sort of really fiery, Really activating, Really alive, Big sort of thing. And so when we are not feeling like that, Then we often stay away from pleasure altogether. And that is very limiting, Specifically also as women, We move in a cycle. So if you are aware of how your cycle moves, Then very often we only connect to pleasure around our sort of summer season, Our ovulation time, Maybe our spring season, When our body naturally sort of drives us there, Our biology activates that. But then the rest of the cycle, We might be in a different space emotionally, Physically, Within our cycle, Within our body. And that doesn't necessarily mean that there is no pleasure to be found that there is no Yeah, Not this sort of yumminess and juiciness that you can still connect to there is always that possibility always that option with yourself and with another and what's really essential to start to understand that there is sort of a young form of pleasure, But there's also more of a Yin type of pleasure where there is a lot of pleasure to be found in this deep Yin space almost in the deep nothingness, The deep openness. Another really beautiful way to connect to pleasure in different ways, Connected specifically to your cycle, Is to think about the fire element as one way of experiencing pleasure. But what if you would connect your pleasure to a different element? What would the water element type of pleasure be like? Or more of the wind or the earth element? Or specifically connected to the seasons? And so that's what we're specifically going to practice and explore today. Trying to find different ways to connect through different flavors, And therefore hopefully inspiring you and opening up different gateways to pleasure, Not only when there is that fire activation, But also when there is different states within you being alive. Okay. I'm going to invite you to come to lie down. So we're going to mainly do this practice lying down. One bell marks the start, Three bells mark the end. You Beautiful, So coming to lie down on your back. And just making yourself really comfortable. I'm just placing your hand, One hand on your heart, One hand on your womb, Your lower belly. And taking three breaths here to sort of Connect to yourself. And to arrive in this moment. So letting this be a practice of exploring your pleasure, Different flavors of it. In an embodied way. And so I want to invite you to start off sort of caressing your body. Making sure no part is left. The whole body is this portal to pleasure. So communicating to your body that it's whole, That it's one. And I want you to crank up the heat. So imagine it's getting really hot and juicy. You can use breath, Movement, Sound to be like, Okay, If I'm calling the fire is there, What kind of pleasure is here? How does that express? So finding your way of activating that fire. More. And then naturally letting that The yin turned into a little bit more yin. What if you're sort of connecting to this water, Fluid flow of pleasure? And how you connect to yourself. And this might be very new, So let it be an exploration. Maybe you want to move around. Ooh. Yeah. And you find the pleasure. In the slowness, The softness, The flow. Wherever you're at, Connecting a little bit to this sense of grounded. Pleasure, More grounded touch, Sort of earth-like essence quality. OOF Hmm. Of you and yourself, Some squeezes. But still tuning in, Like how can this be really pleasurable, But in a different way? Maybe in a new way. You know, More grounded still presently. Maybe moments of just stillness, Of just holding with some weight. And lastly exploring. Transitioning into disorder. Wind, A very soft element. Exploring pleasure by touch, By movement, With this wind quality. Air quality. Element of air. This beautiful breeze caressing your body. Or like feather. And then slowly. Coming back to stillness. Lying down. Into this deep space of let go. As if you're just leaning back. Being held floating in the ocean. Blowing in the sky. Find a pleasure in this deviant space. You you Placing your hands in front of your chest. Thanking yourself for showing up. And just remember. That you can always connect to your pleasure. If you just embrace and open yourself up. What a full spectrum.
