enlightened sex!
Cuddle Party’s “laboratory” addresses the need for nurturing and non-sexualized touch and safe interactions. Marica notes, “If you have sustained welcomed contact for 20 seconds (like a hug, a cuddle or being held) your body releases oxytocin, which has calming effect and reduces stress.” Cuddlers take their new awareness back into their lives and report “a greater sense of wellbeing and playfulness; weight loss; repaired marriages; a deeper connection to the world, their partners, and themselves; more ease with intimacy and even better sex.”
Those who have married spiritual with sexual have bright and joyful faces: “The access point to the spiritual is within our own bodies,” Athena says. “Now that I have that piece, my spirituality is whole; before that all I had a hole, a disconnect and torture. My divine pleasure is my divine path.” And Jane adds, “I am just happy, I laugh all the time, I don’t doubt myself, and I am always looking for what is beautiful in other people. Pleasure puts me in a constant state of gratitude.”
This would be one of those times to listen to Mama: “When you feel divine, you are divine.”
