5-Sense Somatic Practice For Pleasure In Perimenopause

As our hormones shift in perimenopause, our energy, mood, sleep and relationship with our body can change. In the middle of everyday demands, it can become easy to move through life without really noticing how you feel, what you need or what brings you alive.
The Pleasurelit Day is a guided five-sense somatic practice that invites you to slow down, reconnect with your body and rediscover the small moments of pleasure available to you right now in perimenopause.
Through mindful awareness of sight, sound, touch, smell and taste, you will explore how to become more present to your sensory experience, build a deeper connection with your body and make space for pleasure beyond the bedroom.
Find a comfortable, quiet space, take a few conscious breaths, place a hand on your heart, close your eyes and let your body guide you.

This is your pleasure-lit day guided meditation practice. Get yourself comfortable, Either that be laying down or sitting. Create a pleasure-lit space. That feels inviting to you. To do this practice. Once you're ready. You may gently want to close your eyes and then take a deep breath in through the nose. And exhale slowly through the mouth. Let your body begin to soften. Let your shoulders melt. And let your heart open. Just a little more with every breath. Take another deep breath in and take up all the space deep into your belly. Ah and exhale. You have arrived. This is your time to remember how good it feels to be you. To come home to your body. You feel safe, Grounded. And pleasure lips. Take another deep breath in. Deep into your belly. And exhale with a sigh. Imagine your breath traveling down through your body. All the way to your legs. Your feet, Your toes. With every breath. Imagine roots growing from your body where it touches the ground. Down into the earth deep and strong. The Earth holds you. She supports you. And she whispers. You are safe here. Now whisper back to yourself softly. It's safe for me to feel. It's safe for me to receive. It's safe for me to live in pleasure. In this practice, You will create your pleasure lit day. The version of your day where you are deeply in your body. Magnetic. Open. And fully alive. There are no restrictions, No limitations. There is no shame, No guilt, No worry. As you take another deep breath in. Imagine breathing in a warm golden light into your heart space. You can feel it spreading through your body. And on your exhale, Release all that isn't serving you. All the tension. All the worry. Let it go. Now breathe at your natural space. Let your body guide you. Imagine waking up in the morning. The first moment of awareness as your eyes gently open. Now we are going to create a five sense reality, Your pleasure lit day reality. What do you see around you when you wake up and open your eyes? Where are you waking up? Is it your dream home? A soft sunlit space filled with beauty and warmth. What colours surround you? What's the first thing your eyes are drawn to? Maybe the sunlight dancing across your sheets? With maybe the body beside you. Or the view outside your window. What do you see yourself doing as your pleasure day unfolds? Are you walking barefoot in nature? Dancing in your living room. Or maybe you are creating. Teaching. Watching. Or simply Resting. Let the images become vivid. Like a movie of your most delicious day. Remember, This is your day. You can fill this day with all the pleasurable activities that you desire. There's no holding back. You have got full permission to be fully you. And do what you want and who you want to be. Now, Let's shift into feeling. What sensations move through your body on this pleasurely day? Maybe you can feel your bedsheets against your skin as you stretch. What does the air feel like on your body? Maybe you can feel the warms of the sunlight. Or the cool breeze brushing across your face. How does your body feel? As you move through a day. Energize. Relax. Alive? How do your clothes feel against your skin? How does it feel to touch yourself with presence? Your hands gliding over your arms, Your heart, Your belly. Maybe you're feeling grateful for all that your body can do, Feel, Move, Receive. Let yourself feel. Now tune into what you can hear. The sounds filling your pleasurely day. What music plays in the background of your life? Is there laughter? The hum of nature. The sounds of waves or the birds chatting. What is there silence? And then, What sounds come from you? Your breath, Your thighs, Your laughter, Your voice when you speak your truth. How does it sound when you express pleasure freely? And unapologetically. Bask in all the sounds. Now notice any smell. What scents fill your space today? The morning air, Fresh and clean. The aroma of your coffee or your perfume. Or your favorite oil. Or said. Your lover's skin. What scents make you feel turned on by life itself? Let those aromas swirl around you, Rich, Grounding, Intoxicating. And now, Taste. I know this is not as easy as the other ones to step into, But try. What flavors meet your lips on this pleasurely day? Maybe your morning drink? Earthy, Creamy, Sweet. The taste of food that nourishes and delights your body. Maybe the kiss of water. By juicy, Delicious fruit. Maybe even the taste of a kiss. The flavor of intimacy, Of pleasure. Passion. Of aliveness. Let every taste remind you how abundant life is. Swallow when the saliva gets more in your mouth. You can taste how much there is How much there is to savor. Now step into it all. See and feel. The whole day unfolding. You moving through it with ease and confidence and magnetism. Every moment guided by pleasure. Every choice anchored in what feels true for your body. He moves slower, Softer, With more intention. You say yes to what lights you up. Can you say no? To what drains your energy. You trust yourself. Your pleasure, Lad. This is your pleasure-lit reality. Your body now remembers how it feels. Your nervous system begins to believe it's already yours. Because it is. Take a deep breath in. And as you exhale, Imagine all this energy soaking into your cells, Every little cell of your being. Anchoring in your heart, Your belly, Your whole being. You have just created an energetic blueprint of your pleasurely day. Every time you listen. Every time you feel it in your body. You strengthen it. You magnetize it. You manifest it. Whisper softly to yourself. Or speak it out loud. I am pleasure-lit. My life is filled with pleasure. I am magnetic to everything that lights me up. Take one more deep breath in through your nose, Deep into your belly. And as you exhale, Carry this feeling with you. Let it move through the rest of your day. Let it ripple into your reality. And you can return here anytime. Because each time you do, Your pleasure-lit life becomes more tangible, More real, More you. You are safe. You are radiant. You are pleasure-lit. Sigh. Gently open your eyes again. Wiggle your toes and your fingers and come back to your reality. May this be The spark. Of the burning flame inside you. Your pleasure-lit flame. Lots of love and pleasure.
