This is just my belief that i'm expressing here and I might be wrong

I also might be right haha That's why I will not be shy to talk about it :)

Suppressing your desires and sexuality.

Feeling ashamed of your desires.

Feeling misunderstood.

Not being able to communicate.

Deep fear of rejection and being ridiculed.

Absolutely not having a clue where you are standing?

Of course all of the above will have an impact on your mental health, don't you think?

Only because we don't talk openly about it doesnt mean it doesn't affect us.

let's explore together

let's learn from each other

with love and care

A.

See how It feels once you admit where you are. See how people suddenly melt and also feel permitted to be real. This is what I want you to experience.

Today, I want to talk about your sexuality.

Unknown:

Yes, I'm not shy

Unknown:

about talking

Unknown:

about sexuality and intimacy, sensuality, it's such a big part

Unknown:

of our lives. And when we talk about self care when we talk

Unknown:

about

Unknown:

a healing, when we talk about getting to know ourselves better

Unknown:

when we talk about wanting to improve the relationships

Unknown:

in our lives. We cannot exclude sexuality because it makes us us

Unknown:

to know what you desire to know what you need to know what your

Unknown:

preferences are, give you a deep sense of self. And the more

Unknown:

clear you are with yourself about what you need, and want,

Unknown:

the more confident you're going to be, the more clear you're

Unknown:

going to be with the people around you. And the easier those

Unknown:

relationships are gonna be flowing.

Unknown:

So

Unknown:

if this is not for you,

Unknown:

I encourage you to listen to another episode. There's lots of

Unknown:

Unknown:

inspiring. And I love connecting with you guys.

Unknown:

If you are still listening, if you are interested in this

Unknown:

episode, then hello, hello and welcome.

Unknown:

So when we first explore our bodies, we usually in our teens,

Unknown:

some people are younger, some are a little bit older. But we

Unknown:

find out that we can give ourselves pleasure and that is

Unknown:

so incredibly powerful, exciting, and healthy. I'm all

Unknown:

for

Unknown:

self exploration and finding out what is best for you. Again, the

Unknown:

more you know what gives you pleasure, what makes you feel

Unknown:

great, the better connected you are to yourself and the more

Unknown:

confident you can be.

Unknown:

There's a lot of people out there who are feeling shame for

Unknown:

what they desire for what they feel. And that is a shame.

Unknown:

For people to feel shame, that is a shame because then they

Unknown:

start suppressing it and start feeling weird about it and start

Unknown:

hiding and start not being honest with people around them.

Unknown:

And this is when all the BS starts. And depression can even

Unknown:

start by you suppressing a very important side of yourself.

Unknown:

Of course, no one is getting harmed. You are also not harming

Unknown:

yourself. And there's consent

Unknown:

with the practices that you desire, right and cannot be.

Unknown:

Yeah, let's say too far.

Unknown:

are off, where people are getting hurt, animals are

Unknown:

getting hurt, or you are getting hurt.

Unknown:

In that case, seek out help. But find a way to talk about us

Unknown:

there is groups out there

Unknown:

where you can meet and talk about your preferences. And if

Unknown:

they're not totally socially acceptable, that at least you

Unknown:

can talk about them and find people who can listen. So there

Unknown:

is ways to channel that energy out.

Unknown:

If you are

Unknown:

very sexual, and you have to suppress it, because maybe you

Unknown:

are with a partner who is not, or maybe you grew up in an

Unknown:

environment, where it's totally not okay to express sexuality to

Unknown:

even talk about it, you are suffering internally, and you

Unknown:

might not even

Unknown:

be aware of it, you are shutting out a big part of yourself, you

Unknown:

are trying to tame and suppress that

Unknown:

strong energy that is inside of you. But it will come out and

Unknown:

weird ways it will come out and you know, weird.

Unknown:

It can be pretty much everything when we when we suppress our

Unknown:

sexuality, sexuality, you can become sick from it, you can

Unknown:

become a very awkward person around the people that you are

Unknown:

attracted to, you can live in total isolation because you feel

Unknown:

so much shame.

Unknown:

So it is really important to be curious about it. And to, to

Unknown:

find out what is it that you like, and then how to

Unknown:

communicate that to your potential partner, or to your

Unknown:

partner right now. And those relationships don't have to be

Unknown:

rigid relationships are meant to flow and change and move. And

Unknown:

sometimes when we open up to a partner world something, it

Unknown:

changes the whole relationship for the better. Yes, sometimes

Unknown:

you might

Unknown:

face rejection. But you have to have that willingness to face

Unknown:

rejection, you have to have that bravery, that courage to face

Unknown:

react, rejection, to, to stand up for yourself and to know,

Unknown:

yes, this is what I like, this is what I'm into. And this is

Unknown:

what I'm going to communicate to you if the other person is not

Unknown:

into it. Of course, you will not be able to live it so to say,

Unknown:

but at least you have expressed it then. And that alone is so

Unknown:

incredibly powerful. And with most partners will increase

Unknown:

trustworthiness, when they know what you're all about, what

Unknown:

gives you pleasure, what is good for your body, then they can

Unknown:

either choose to engage in it and help you out. Or they can

Unknown:

say no, this is absolutely not for me and yeah, we will have to

Unknown:

find a solution here to to reconnect on a different level.

Unknown:

So what I want to encourage with this episode is

Unknown:

become curious about your sensuality, your sexuality,

Unknown:

again, explore, read, watch little videos, there's tons of

Unknown:

information online and find out what it is that brings you joy

Unknown:

and pleasure. It is an area in your life that is

Unknown:

or can be very nurturing, very healing. And yeah, it can deepen

Unknown:

the relationships with yourself and with the people around you.

Unknown:

And to start, I would say,

Unknown:

enjoy and accept your body fully, just like it is when you

Unknown:

have a shower. Be grateful for your beautiful and healthy body.

Unknown:

Be comfortable walking around naked in your house. Be

Unknown:

comfortable

Unknown:

showing up in front of a mirror and looking at yourself and

Unknown:

laughing at the parts that you don't really like.

Unknown:

The more we accept ourselves the more we will be accepting with

Unknown:

others and help others to be accepting of their bodies to and

Unknown:

that is so incredibly powerful. It

Unknown:

If you get to help somebody to like their body better, my God,

Unknown:

it is a huge

Unknown:

bonding, it is a huge trust that can spark between two people.

Unknown:

So try to live in full acceptance with your first self

Unknown:

first. And then maybe you can help your partner to do the

Unknown:

same. If you are single, focus only on yourself and give it all

Unknown:

to you enjoy yourself and really explore what feels nice.

Unknown:

You need to let that energy out, you need to, yeah, find a

Unknown:

channel on how to express it. And you know, I've talked about

Unknown:

it.

Unknown:

And season two or three, I think, where I was observing

Unknown:

Mick Jagger, for instance, or

Unknown:

prints, or other musicians that are out there, where you can

Unknown:

clearly see that they pour all their energy into their

Unknown:

instrument or into singing, it is their sexual energy that they

Unknown:

learn to use to create. So this is another thing that you can

Unknown:

learn to do when you're single, but also when you're in a

Unknown:

committed relationship is that you find ways to channel that

Unknown:

beautiful energy into something creative, and authentic and

Unknown:

something that reflects you 100%.

Unknown:

Sometimes people say yeah, when you masturbate a little bit too

Unknown:

much, then you waste energy. Yes, you reach climax, you reach

Unknown:

your orgasm, and it gives you pleasure, but only for a short

Unknown:

amount of time. Sometimes

Unknown:

giving yourself pleasure and not reaching an orgasm. And instead

Unknown:

channeling that energy into a creative project, something that

Unknown:

you want to build something that you want to.

Unknown:

Yeah, gift to others. So to say it can be art, it can be music,

Unknown:

it can be something that you

Unknown:

build out of wood and metal and stones, whatever it is, people

Unknown:

can sense that it is very genuine, it is very pure. It is

Unknown:

very unique to you.

Unknown:

So I think all I want to say today is that.

Unknown:

Be curious. And if you were suppressing it, find ways to

Unknown:

channel it out. As always, feel free to reach out to me and if

Unknown:

you want to,

Unknown:

like request another episode about this topic, too, for me to

Unknown:

go a little bit more into depth. Don't hold back. I just wanted

Unknown:

to let you know that yes, this topic is extremely important

Unknown:

when it comes to our mental and physical health. And it is very

Unknown:

exciting to explore. That's a good thing.

Unknown:

Stop suppressing. Stop feeling shame and guilt and learn to

Unknown:

talk about it with like minded people, with people that you

Unknown:

trust.

Unknown:

This is me for now. I have a guest here soon where we will be

Unknown:

talking about masculine sexuality. He is a coach. He is

Unknown:

a facilitator for man circle for man's work. And I'm so

Unknown:

incredibly blessed to be connected with him because I

Unknown:

learned so much from him and I invited him onto the show for

Unknown:

you to learn from him as well. All right, take really good care

Unknown:

of yourself. Don't forget to subscribe. Don't forget to leave

Unknown:

Unknown:

that. And I will be out there very soon again. Bye bye
