Who do you ‘”BE” in your sensuality?
I found out the hard way that the answer to this question is not some sort of futile pondering that leads to an answer of the psycho-babbling nature. Being a romance consultant for many years, I usually connect with many women about their sensuality; However, recently I was in an environment that required of me that I dig deeper into who I am as a sensual being. In a snap—just like that— my world opened to reveal something truly more beautiful than I had ever anticipated.
So this transformative life lesson came from an exercise with Life Coach Allyson Byrd:
She says to the group: “Write down your own advertisement of who you are”.
Immediately, what I thought was “I know that already”(okay, Ms. Ego stop talking). Then, I thought, “I’m not up for auction”. I envisioned the silver tongue auctioneer taking bids on little ole’ me.
After clearing away that visualization, I started to put pen to paper and thought “what a breeze, I can do that, no problem”. (Ms. Ego talking again). Let me pull out my mental list of attributes right now and get to writing because I know these things by heart. By the way, the list is quite long.
Okay let’s see, I’m an entrepreneur, a mother, a wife, a chauffeur, an administrative assistant…
So, as I am writing, Coach Allyson starts talking more and I realize, oh wait up, that is not what she wants. She wants us to write an advertisement about who we be, not who we are. Okay so let’s see, hmmm… I went back to work on it again. “Damn it, here it comes again, I am a mother, wife …blah…blah…blah...”
Five times I scratched out the first line because each line began with what I do. And what I do is mostly for others, not who I am for me. Now doing for others is not always a bad thing (only when it becomes a detriment to your well being—well that’s another blog).
Mounting frustration threatened to join the exercise.
Okay, hold up. I thought I knew who I was. I am seriously starting to feel a little sweaty and a little scared. Who was I? Are you feeling that way right now? Yeah I know. I thought I knew this crap.
What I found out in this exercise is that so many times our sensuality is compromised by a constant bombardment (of our own doing, of course) of things that do not suit us, that do not bring positive energy, or that suck out whatever positive energy we have!
So many of the things we do doesn’t at all address on any level who we truly are. Although little revealing snippets do pop out every now and then while I am in survival mode in this thing called “my life”. Then there are those rare moments when a revelation smacks us on the head, like Bam: Look at me, look at you and you finally get a fuller glimpse of the real you.
This was a Bam—a thoroughly defining moment for me—although I it took me one day after the activity to finally get the point of the “advertisement” exercise.
So I share my electric experience (below) with you today. Today is your chance, an opening and opportunity for you to express who you be sensually. Knowing is powerful.
Why? Because as I fine-tune my life I visualize it full of pleasure from the rhythmic beating of my heart to the beautiful sound of each breath—knowing this is my birthright.
So I ask you to write down who you be. Repeat it every day. Let your true sensual self shine from this day forward. It is a glorious opportunity to create the most authentic sensual self that is you.
How sensually wonderful is that?
Until next time, Stay sensually blissful and be blessed!
Here is my “Who I Be” statement—
• I am a strong advocate of intimate and sensual relationships.
• I am dynamically blissful.
• I am passion.
• I am enthusiastic about my “place” in this universe as an agent for positive sensual change, and I believe I can change the world with my extraordinary feminine energy.
• I am sensually powerful.
That is who I BE for ME. Who do you be, for you?
Please share if you would like. --Georgette Taylor 10/17/2011
