The power of our Physical bodies has unfortunately been enshrouded in untruths, shame and controversy throughout history and our present time. When we remember, as a collective, how sacred our physical bodies are, the entire world will benefit from this.
The following personal story conveys the immense power of our physical bodies, governed by the sacred element of Earth…
Until 2012, only a select few soul sisters knew about this experience, for it’s something very personal and actually indescribable. Most definitions pertaining to the mystical mention it has to do with direct experience that can’t be explained or described in any way. However, Spirit started guiding me to share this experience with soul family, as best I could. I felt a bit terrified to do so, yet when I found the courage to share as I was guided, I discovered that many needed to hear my story, for various reasons! It surprised and empowered me to see the beneficial effects of my sharing; this is what Spirit wanted me to experience. I was later guided to share it in my book “Sacred Possibilities” and now here, in alignment with the power of our physical bodies. However, it does deal with sensitive subject matter.
On the 2010 winter solstice, I was living in Winnipeg with my former husband. I was in the kitchen on the main floor of the house, preparing for a love-and-appreciation ceremony to honour All on this special day, including the beings of Nature residing in our snow-blanketed yard. It was a peaceful evening with the snow sparkling like diamonds in the street lights. No other person was with me.
I’ve never followed a religion or particular belief system. My spiritual way has always been based on what I feel and personally experience as a knowing. I’ve always simply practiced love and appreciation from my heart and a sacred relationship with All. I’ve also created different inspired ceremonies and rituals for various occasions, mostly on my own and at times with others. I eventually discovered that shamanism best described my way of being.
As I stood in the kitchen, silently chopping dried fruits, nuts, and seeds, infusing love and appreciation into them, and tuning in to the energies of Nature and Spirit, I went into a light meditative state. After a while, I suddenly, and quite unexpectedly, felt an incredible wave of blissful energy flow through my base chakra, up to my crown chakra, and through my entire body, giving me what I can only describe as a full-body, “cosmic orgasm”. Every part of me felt “blissed-out”, including my heart! It was a very different experience than a purely sexual orgasm. This was solely energetic, yet I also physically felt its effects profoundly throughout my entire body. It was extraordinary—expansively sublime beyond what words can describe. It was like the purest love energy; it felt so sacred. My heart overflowed and tears filled my eyes.
I had never heard of anything like this, probably due to being one of those things that you can’t really describe—it has to be experienced. I felt it was best to keep it secret unless I was guided to do otherwise. I was well aware that anything related to sensuality and sexuality brought up different things for different people… it’s been intensely judged, condemned, and abused over the course of history, and it can trigger many different emotions, reactions, as well as controversy.
Growing up in a highly religious family and community, I overheard and was told repeatedly that experiencing anything related to sexual or sensual pleasures (determined by the figures of authority) was sinful or even damnable. Despite that, I never agreed with this belief system myself, for my heart knew a different truth than this. My sacred connection with Nature and experiencing the Divine through it, had taught me something else.
I learned that all of Nature is sensual and sexual, and as humans we’re no exception. We are creations of the Divine’s love, and everything created from that love is sacred. We’re all sensual and sexual beings by nature and were created this way with purpose. Our physical bodies enable us to fully experience life through all our senses. Innocent pleasures perceived in all ways are another means for us to directly experience the Divine in the physical forms that we’ve been given. To reject these aspects of ourselves is to reject our natural state of being and not accept all of who we are. We can’t fully love ourselves or live empowered lives if we believe that these parts of our nature are “bad”.
There is nothing more sacred on Earth than experiencing the Divine’s gifts—our own divinity and that of others (human and otherwise)—through our human experiences, in our physical forms. It’s about experiencing everything from a place of divine love and taking the time to fully appreciate it all—our water and beverages, our foods, our bodies, our environments, our relationships, our activities, our co-creations, our connections with others of all races and species. Our physical bodies enable us to do so in a way that we can’t in spirit.
To selectively decide that it’s shameful or sinful to experience certain things related to our sensuality and sexuality is an insult to our divinely created existence. The creation of this belief system in recent history has denied people of many forms of direct, empowering connections with Spirit. Anything that has reminded people of their own divinity has been condemned. Even Nature became something to fear, dominate, and control; its sanctity was abandoned. This has caused people to forget their own divine interconnectedness with All.
Denying our true nature and taking away its sanctity has caused an epidemic of dysfunctional and highly damaging obsessions, addictions, and behaviors (reflected in the condition of our natural environments). We see this everywhere, including among those in positions of authority. I know an astonishing number of women and many men who have experienced some form of sexual abuse. Most of this abuse was experienced before these individuals reached the age of adulthood. So much healing—for the past, present, and future—is needed regarding this. Only by bringing the truth into our awareness and restoring the sacredness of it, can we begin to heal this on all levels, from individuals and nations, to environments and our world.
I’ve always been highly aware of my sensual nature. I’ve always delighted in how feathers, rain, plant leaves, and sunlight feel on my bare skin … how the illuminated colours of a sunset change like a living painting before my eyes … how the sweet scent of flowers dance in the faintest breeze and infuse me … how soft mosses, warm sand, cool grass, and smooth stone feel beneath my bare feet … how the melodious songs of birds uplift me no matter how I’ve been feeling … how a heartfelt hug with another person feels mutually wonderful. I’ve always greatly enjoyed being immersed in the water of lakes and oceans, feeling my entire body unite with its flowing environment. I’ve always been a slow eater, savouring every bite of food and sip of beverages that I’ve ingested. The countless colours, forms, textures, scents, sounds, and flavours of our natural world have always highly pleased me. They’re all direct, miraculous expressions of the Divine. Beautiful manmade creations born through divinely gifted talents and inspiration, including various works of art, music, gardens, meals, jewellery, furniture, etc., have also always highly pleased me. It’s such a sacred gift for us to experience it all. Our physical bodies allow us to do so. When we do so with reverence, it’s an act of appreciation to our Creator.
I’ve also had a keen awareness of my sexual nature from a very young age. Since anything related to sexuality was a taboo subject when I was growing up, I made sure I hid this aspect of myself. I learned a lot about sexuality from Nature itself (in its divine, innocent form). However, nothing in my awareness could explain the orgasms I began to experience when I was ten years old. I didn’t even know there was a word for this until I attended university. Despite everything that was preached from my childhood days onward, I listened to my heart’s truth. It made no sense to me that something as natural and innocent as those experiences was condemned by certain figures of authority and those who believed them.
Due to my special relationship with Nature, I always remained in touch with my true nature and treated my sensuality and sexuality as something sacred. I just never imagined that one day I would experience something like what I did on that winter solstice. It became apparent that I’d been initiated into a more expansive level of myself—for things were never the same after that day. It highly amplified my ability to connect with the energies of Spirit and Nature beings (including lightning storms) and physically feel their energy signatures in my body.
Just over a week later, I was hiking on my parents’ property in the country when I felt “called” by a beautiful red pine. This tree being was an uncommon species for that area, and it was nestled among jack pines, quite a distance from the trail. I had to trudge in thigh-high snow to reach it. Yet, it was calling me strongly enough that I accepted the invitation. As I silently sat in the snow with my back against its trunk, simply observing my natural surroundings, I went into a state of deep relaxation. It was such a serene day with the sun shining and chickadees singing nearby.
After a while, I felt a wave of beautiful love energy flow through my entire heart area from the pine. I consciously sent the tree my own love energy in return, which I also felt as a wave emanating from my heart. We shared a glorious exchange of love like this for some time; I physically felt it within my body’s entire core area. I had never experienced this type of connection with a tree before—I felt so blessed to have received this gift so freely! Then I suddenly felt that same wave of blissful sacred energy like I had experienced on the solstice, flow through my body from the ground up! It was pure ecstasy!
In that moment, I received a teaching from this wonderful evergreen. I learned that tree beings are always in this state of blissful energy that I felt, for they are pure channels for the sacred energies of Mother Earth and Father Sky (our Sun and the Cosmos) that unite. It’s a sacred union of flowing, pure love energy directly from the Divine. That’s why trees are such pure healers. Anyone who walks through their immense aura fields or spends time with them feels the immense benefits from their energy. It’s a well-researched and known scientific fact. As humans, we’re also natural channels and healers ourselves.
Our physical bodies are truly such sacred gifts.
They allow us to experience the divinity of life and our own divinity in this world, in countless forms that are beautiful and empowering beyond words. We must remember how sacred we are—it’s our true nature.
Earth, the governor of our Physical Body, is the fourth sacred element featured in my new program “Sacred Alliances for Empowered Living”. Together, they’re another powerful ally on the empowered path of the heart!
