Creating Sacred Space for Sensual Practice
Jul 02, 2021 Season 2 Episode 4
Dianne Shepherd

In this episode, I talk about the importance of creating a sacred space in your home (that's not your bed) for practices like the Jade Egg, or any mindful sensuality practice.

I riff on:

  • Why every woman needs a temple
  • Why it's part of the healing journey 
  • Why we need to create it ourselves
  • Why having a set time of day for your practice matters
  • The differences between Formal Practice (on the mat), Informal Practice (off the mat), and Peak Experiences 
  • The importance of  a Formal Sensuality Practice
  • Why it shouldn't  be your bed
  • The importance of bringing in your 5 senses for healing
  • Sense of sight and the healing power of beauty
  • Bringing in Astrology; how to create an altar to your personal Venus
  • The healing power of scent and the connection to breath
  • The healing power of sound; using music in your practice
  • The healing power of taste
  • The healing power of touch; using textiles for self-soothing and nervous system regulation
  • Using beauty and pleasure for sensual healing and creating new pathways for pleasure
  • The importance of self resourcing and titration vs pushing and striving for breakthroughs
  • My favorite time of day to practice
