Sensuality pertains to experiencing life through all our senses, in our physical bodies.
It’s a privilege for us to be able to experience life this way on Mother Earth, where Nature herself is so beautifully sensual.
Unfortunately for so many of us, our upbringing not only discouraged us from feeling the pleasures of life, but made pleasures something to avoid if we didn’t want our souls to be condemned. The authorities distorted something divinely created into something related to evil.
As one who’s always been aware of my sensual nature, this concept never made sense to me. In my heart, I felt this wasn’t true.
Our bodies were designed with multiple senses to fully enjoy and savour our experiences in all ways.
They remind us of our divinity when we connect with loving appreciation to all that we’ve been given here on this sacred planet.
I’ve always relished the taste of fresh, sun-ripened fruits that burst with sunshine and sweetness in my mouth and fills my cells with vibrancy.
I’ve always enjoyed the warm ocean water, sunlight and playful wind on my bare skin.
I’ve always felt mesmerized by the ever-changing glorious colours of the sky with the sunrises, sunsets and the dancing aurora lights.
I’ve always savoured the delicious scents of bursting blossoms, sun-kissed wild grasses, invigorating evergreen trees and rich soil, in different natural environments.
I’ve always delighted in hearing the symphonies of Nature, including bird and frog songs, whispers of the winds in trees, crashing ocean surf and thunder.
I’ve always loved how mosses, sand, stone and grass feel on the soles of my bare feet.
I’ve always melted into hugs that come from pure love with another human being.
When we choose to experience life with reverence and appreciation, we restore the sacredness of these experiences.
I’ve seen many animals in their beautiful innocence fully enjoy their own sensual natures.
Cats are a perfect example of this – both the smaller species as well as lions, cougars, tigers and leopards. They savour their sensual nature daily. I’ve also seen many other animals visibly appreciate the gifts of Nature through their senses… a bear smelling and rolling in fragrant flowers in a meadow in visible delight… a dog pausing to watch a sunset with awe on its face… domestic animals savouring the touch of our loving hand strokes and caresses on their bodies… wild dolphins touching each other with loving affection…
One of the greatest gifts we’ve been given by acquiring our physical bodies, is the gift of having the ability to experience life in so many more ways than we can in spirit form.
Appreciating our experiences with love is an act of gratitude to the Divine and it restores the sacredness of life here on Earth.
How did you experience your sensual nature today?
