💫 Pleasure As Prayer

We were taught to bow our heads to pray.

To keep our legs closed, our voices down, our urges hidden.

But what if the body—your body—is a prayer in motion?

What if every moan, every shiver, every breathless moment of pleasure is an offering?

Because let’s be real:

There are moments when surrender feels holy.

When the pulse between your legs becomes a pulse between you and the Divine.

That’s not sin.

That’s sacred.

🔥 Reclaiming Pleasure from the Shame Bin

For centuries, pleasure has been exiled.

Branded selfish. Dirty. Dangerous.

Especially for women, femmes, and queer folks.

It became something we give to others but rarely claim for ourselves.

It was something to hide. Something to apologize for.

But let’s be clear:

Pleasure is not the opposite of holiness.

It’s an access point to it.

🌙 What Is Pleasure-as-Prayer?

It’s not just about orgasms (though those are welcome).

It’s about presence.

It’s about dropping into your body as a site of reverence—not judgment.

Pleasure-as-prayer is…

• The breath you take when you drop into your hips.

• The tears that rise when you finally let yourself receive.

• The touch you give yourself like you’re worshiping something worthy.

Because you are.

🕯️ Turned On = Tuned In

You know those moments?

When your body pulses with sensation and you’re nowhere else but there?

That’s presence.

That’s devotion.

That’s an altar moment.

Whether it’s solo or shared, pleasure can be a way to:

• Call your spirit back into your body

• Release what your mouth can’t say

• Heal where touch once harmed

• Reconnect to joy without performance

🙏 Try This: A Pleasure Prayer Ritual

Create Sacred Space
Light a candle. Set an intention. Maybe play music that makes your hips remember.

1. Bless Your Body
   Touch each part with care. Say thank you to your thighs, your belly, your chest.

2. Slow Down & Listen
   Ask: “Where in my body feels hungry for touch? Where feels nervous? What wants to speak?”

3. Receive—Without Rush
   Touch doesn’t have to lead to climax. Let it lead to connection.

4. Close With Breath or Journaling
   Anchor the moment. Write down what you felt. What rose. What released.

💬 Pleasure Is Not a Distraction—It’s a Return

It’s a return to yourself.

To the pulse of aliveness.

To the sacred center within you that never left, only waited to be noticed.

So the next time you reach for your body in longing—

Do it like you’re lighting incense.

Do it like you’re saying grace.

Do it like your body is the altar.

Because it is.

⚡ The Risk of Using Sexual Energy

Because pleasure is powerful—and power needs responsibility.

We love to talk about sexual energy like it’s magic.

Because… it is.

It stirs the creative cauldron.

It manifests desires.

It heals wounds.

It connects us—deeply, wildly, intimately.

But here’s what most people won’t say:

Sexual energy is a sacred fire.

And if you don’t understand what you’re holding, it can burn just as easily as it can bless.

🔥 What Is “Sexual Energy,” Really?

Sexual energy isn’t just about sex.

It’s life force.

The same energy that creates orgasms… also creates babies, art, revolutions, visions.

Tantric teachings call it kundalini.

Hoodoo and African spiritual systems speak of it in terms of asé, or divine current.

But wherever you find it, the message is the same:

→ It’s not just energy—it’s power.

→ And power, when misused, causes harm.

⚠️ The Risks of Channeling Sexual Energy Without Intention:

1. Energetic Entanglement
   → You’re not just swapping fluids—you’re merging fields.
   → Ever feel drained after sex? That’s not random.

2. Addiction to Stimulation, Not Connection
   → Without awareness, sex becomes escape—numbing instead of nourishing.

3. Manifesting from Wounds Instead of Wholeness
   → When you use orgasm to manifest but you’re rooted in fear, you amplify the fear, too.

4. Emotional Overload
   → Sexual rituals can stir repressed trauma. Without support, it can feel destabilizing.

5. Spiritual Bypassing
   → Using “sacred sexuality” as an aesthetic while ignoring boundaries, consent, and trauma-informed practices.

🧘🏽‍♀️ Sexual Energy Needs a Container

Think of it like electricity.

It lights a room—but without wiring, it can start a fire.

Your body is the altar.

Your boundaries are the wiring.

Your presence is the ritual.

Before channeling sexual energy, ask:

• Am I grounded?

• Am I emotionally clear?

• Do I know what I’m calling in—or who I’m calling in?

• Am I trying to escape something… or move through it?

✨ How to Honor This Power Safely

• Cleanse before & after sexual or energetic exchange (smoke, salt baths, journaling)

• Consent isn’t just for others—it’s for you too. Check in with your body. Don’t override a no.

• Use intention with orgasm. Say it out loud. Anchor it.

• Don’t manifest from desperation. Wait until you feel connected, not depleted.

• Rest. Your nervous system needs integration, not just stimulation.

🌹 The Truth?

Using your sexual energy can absolutely change your life.

But it will also ask you to change with it.

To rise into more responsibility, more sovereignty, and more integrity.

Because with great turn-on…

Comes great accountability.
