SOUL – SEX – WISDOM

I write for you about soulful living and body wisdom, with a clear focus on sexuality because it’s such a vast important theme in (women’s) life that has been ignored in the whole wave of spirituality blogs of the past 5 years.

Sexuality is such a beautiful word with such a vast field of meaning. It’s also one of the words that we use in the most narrow sense possible. The act. Point final.

But dammit, sexuality is such a powerful energy in this world, it is the origin of us all, the origin of the earth itself, the merging of two powers creating a new existence: a new person, a new idea, a new oeuvre d’art, a new dish, a new home, anything. Creativity is in essence sexuality. That power beneath all creation and all passion, that is the fundamental meaning of sexuality.

It’s what keeps the world spinning and thriving.

And there is so much that we can make happen if we broaden our perspective from an act between exclusively two people to a vast energy that is available all around us, that carries us, creates us and that we can explore and direct, to create at our turn.

Then it becomes a sacred principle.

The tantrists and taoists already knew that sexuality is a founding pillar of all life. Just as eating is, just as love and human interaction is. Now what happens if you pull out one of the founding pillars of a building…?

For over centuries sexuality has been pulled out, by religion, by rationalism or by whatever historical course of life. The consequences are clear. Sex is a taboo and/or an issue to almost all of us. There’s a lack of it, there’s too many of it in an extreme form, it’s not going well, there’s a feeling of guilt, of not achieving or not performing, a feeling of shame, of not being enough, not being beautiful or strong, not being female or masculine enough. Not to mention sexual abuse and it’s disasters.

We do not love our bodies, we do not treat them with respect. We do not respect all life forms as outcomes of a creation process that has also created our very selves.

We have trouble making true contact with eachother.

So many of us struggle to get in touch with our creativity.

We hold on to the idea that we cannot proactively and consciously create our own lives.

There is so much damage. Physical, emotional and energetical damage.

And we can be very very sorry for ourselves and the historical turns that brought us here. And we can go on analyzing the reasons and the consequences.

Or we can move on and change history.

This is what Soul&Spice will be about. Creating new paths on the map, new wires in our brains. Because I believe everything we learned wrong can be replaced by a new learning that is healthy and respectful to ourselves. It’s just a question of acquiring the new information and re-wiring the brain.

And a question of wanting to heal and wanting to change. Of stepping out of the old story into a bright and shiny new one.
