Pleasure is not selfish. This meditation invites you to reconnect with the sensations and small joys that bring you back to your body. You are allowed to feel good. You are allowed to savour. Allow yourself to receive this beautiful gift from your body, even if just for a moment.

Hi love,

I'm so glad you're here.

This one might stir something in you,

Longing,

Resistance,

Curiosity.

Whatever rises,

Let it come gently.

Let's begin with a breath,

In through the nose and out through the mouth,

Soft and slow.

And again,

This time letting your belly rise a little more,

Letting your exhale lengthen just a touch.

Now,

Bring your awareness to your body,

Not as something to fix or perform with,

But as something sacred.

Where do you feel most alive today?

What parts of you are asking to be noticed?

Pleasure isn't always loud.

It can be the warmth of sunlight on your skin,

The curl of a blanket around your legs,

The taste of something sweet,

The ache of being deeply moved by music.

And yes,

It can be sensual,

But it does not have to be.

This is your moment to define pleasure on your terms.

You are allowed to enjoy what feels good.

You are allowed to slow down and savor.

You are allowed to feel soft,

Delighted,

Expanded.

Pleasure is not selfish.

It is not indulgent.

It is not shameful.

It is medicine and you are worthy of it.

Let your jaw unclench,

Let your chest soften,

Let your body know this is safe.

Now,

If it feels comforting,

Bring your hands somewhere gentle.

Maybe your belly,

Maybe your face.

Touch with no agenda,

Just connection.

Let's close with this affirmation.

Pleasure is safe in my body.

I am allowed to feel good.

I give myself full permission to receive joy through my senses.

Take a breath into that truth,

Let it settle in your bones.

You don't have to earn this softness.

It already belongs to you.

Thank you, Teacher! Amazing what we don’t realize we have been feeling unworthy of until a gentle moment comes along to allow sorting these feelings out, to make space for something so much better. I know I will come back to this track again.
