This is me taking a shower this morning I trained for 2 hours I did an Insanity Asylum Upper Elite and a Flow Movement practice with my coach Followed by some deep backbend work After 2 hrs of training I was done and wanted nothing more than a good shower to wash the sweat and burning exhaustion away This shower is simply a shower until you place your perspective on it What do you see is the question Then understanding that is okay but also knowing for me it was just a shower and knowing that is okay too A shower a conversation the food we eat a touch is all neutral until our imaginations take hold which is so often what happens on social media and that is when it transcends into other meanings within us and others The conversation then becomes not if how we see it is wrong or right or others but more about understanding that there are a million different ways to see it and be compassionate and respectful to all so we can build better connections to ourselves and others We socialize sexuality through our imagination And the central agent of the erotic act is our creativity our imagination or ability to renew our ability to anticipate We can envision the act without having to actually enact it And it is the cultivation of pleasure for its own sake Esther Perel So much of Social media is just this act of imagination and creating a story in our head from something that is originally neutral until we place our imagination on it Eroticism implies sex as a vibrant and transcendent experience Perel calls it a place you go inside yourself with another The fuel for this transcendent travel is one s own individual creativity And it s through the exploration of erotic imagination that fantasies arise Your boundaries become widened and new realities are forged Thus the focus of eroticism and erotic intelligence is not doing sex but rather the meaning of sex Transcendence is that meaning When we view this world we transcend into our own world within our mind Sexuality is a big part of our play as adults We upgrade from playing with toys innocent play to erotica play once you know that your mind never goes back fully What we must remember is we all hold different reasons for being here and different views for everything we see There is no wrong or right The difficulty in this world that is so black and white is to understand this and find ways to harmonize our connections even though they are different so we do not hold invisible barriers to each other and create hate and fear amongst ourselves Whilst also being open to the views we do not see and that to be a whole human all our feelings need to be accepted and addressed However we all must remember we all have a different ways to feel see imagine and be human Remember this and practice compassion and observation and this in turn will create a world of less shame and fear and more wholeness and compassion Color behind the scenes video on p treon top tiers link in bio
