Don't you love it when you set an intention, or start on a quest, or make a declaration and the universe turns itself upside down to support you? Through a couple of grapevines I have heard of Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts - a 5 week self development program hostessed by Regena Thomashauer in New York City. Only recently did I realize Mama Gena has a book outlining this amazing course which is all about the art of identifying your desires, having fun no matter where you are, incorporating more pleasure into every day of your life, and the ultimate, exhilirating, creative force known as the Power of Pussy.
I'll comment more on the PoP as I digest the book more, I mainly wanted to say it for shock value - although I have to say it absolutely, positively works, and not just on sexual matters.
In Lesson 2 - The Womanly Art of Whetting Your Own Appetite, one of the exercises is to brag outrageously every single day. Now, I had a hard time with this concept at first because it seems, well, arrogant. And I'm so use to looking out for everyone else' feelings that I don't want to make anyone feel bad. But, look, if every woman never tells anyone else how amazing we are, or about the things we've accomplished, or about the good things that have come into our lives, none of us will ever know that it is, in fact, possible to live up to our potential. We learn best by example, right? Why reinvent the wheel or struggle along alone when we could share victories, big and small, with other people on the journey?
OK - so here goes - here's a small one. Today, I tried for the first time ever, eating Dulse with Avocado. I love it! It's delicious! My husband will hate it. He already thinks the healthy nutrition kick I'm on is insane. On previous trips to Whole Foods he has physically pushed me passed the display of dried seaweeds. If he had been with me at the store I never would have bought it. So, it actually seemed a little naughty, a little like a stolen delicacy. I may just hide it in the cupboard and not tell him about it, not because I fear his reaction, but because this way its my little secret that no one else gets to know about.
Whew! that felt good! Here's another - I bought new jeans last week. A size smaller than the ones I was replacing! So, my health food kick is paying off. (As are my belly dance and S Factor workouts.)
OK - here comes the big one. Several years ago when I first started dreaming about what I wanted in my life, what schedule I'd like to keep, how much time I'd like to have for all the things I'd like to do, I had a vision, or a feeling, of what that would look like. Guess what it looked like? Today. Guess what it felt like? Right now. I had that realization the other day. Even though I just consciously started this Deva journey toward more pleasure and excitement, I had this aha! moment of having arrived. Right now I have the time, the work schedule, the ability to give this Deva journey my all because all that time ago I started visualizing and imagining what it would be like to have the time, the schedule the ability.... So, this conscious creation, manifest your life stuff we all learned about in the The Secret must actually work! (And I'm now living proof, so you start doing it too!)
Here's our homework for today and tomorrow and every day that comes hereafter: do something that pleases you! Make a list of miniscule and gargantuan things that would bring you pleasure and start doing something from that list every single day. I'm not talking about icing on the cake or rewarding yourself for a hard day's work. I'm talking about making your pleasure the absolute #1 ultimate priority of every single day. The one thing that must get done no matter what. It's important, it's critical to your physical and spiritual health. Pleasure is not an option, its a must-have, a necessity. It will not make you a selfish bitch, it will make you a better person!
If you have something to brag about, please comment here or let me know on Facebook! I would love to share in and learn from your pleasurable victories.
Oh, and go out and get "Mama Gena's School of Womanly Arts" - it should be on every Deva's bookshelf.
Have the Reddest Day Ever!
In Grace,
Kell
