Women often report to me that they feel numb to their own bodies. They are barely FEELING most of the time, and it's how they get through their days- to not feel. This module proposes that we begin to get into relationship with what's really going on on the level of sense, and that we go for the quick easy wins every day as a way to make a difference.

Here's the thing - your body was designed for pleasure.

You - yes you - are a veritable pleasure machine. A magnificent pleasure temple.

From pleasures big and small, just take a moment to marvel at that.

Take a moment to think about the pleasures that you have been privy to even just today. Perhaps the hot water on your skin in the shower. Or the feel of getting dressed in clean clothes. The anticipation of your favourite beverage - mmmmm for me that is the kick of an espresso on the back of my throat. With the heavy silk of good quality foamed milk. Or the weather that hit my face as I left the house. Rain or shine.

Notice the same thing I did? That all those pleasures were connected to various senses? Right! And that's why pleasure is so important - it literally helps you reconnect with the sensual awareness within.

Just take a moment to ponder then - what were those tiny, almost unnoticeable pleasures for you today already? Notice where you felt those pleasures in your body. Ask yourself - how did you know that was pleasure, and what did it feel like in terms of sensation?

It is really that simple.

And a quick word of warning - because we women often push ourselves to achieve a lot, or beat ourselves up if we don't achieve much, we have a tendency to put our own pleasure in the same camp. Like we get competitive with ourselves. For example, when I started building a pleasure practice I was going for the mind-blowing multi-orgasmic. I wanted to find pleasure in the ecstatic.

And whilst there is nothing wrong with that - a really important lesson for me was to actually take in the small doses of pleasure first. Almost like building up my pleasure resilience. Lots of little pleasure hits add up to make a difference to your experiences of your sensual self.

So - let's say - if we start with the next 2%. If you were to allow just 2% more pleasure in your day today, perhaps that might start with you recognising the low hanging fruit. What already exists? What have you already enjoyed today - maybe without even noticing?

If you begin to take stock of these small pleasures, you may find as I did, that your physiology also starts to take a turn for the better.

Pleasure is soothing. Our nervous system literally calms down in response to pleasure, as pleasure is connecting to what is and saying yes to it.

So. When you begin to take note of your pleasure and mark it as something important to your body and your mind, you will find over time that you gradually begin to feel less pleasure starved and more and more alive. And a woman saturated with pleasure does not reach for the things that do not serve her quite so easily as a woman who is empty, exhausted and frequently on the edge of despair. A woman saturated by pleasure begins to reach for those things that prop her up unhealthily less and less.

So the alcohol, or the ridiculous lovers, or the sugar or the hours of overtime or the whatever it is. They simply fade away like a bad habit the more you focus on your daily dose of pleasure.

Then let's begin. By redefining pleasure as the missing nutrient your body is craving, and understanding that claiming the low hanging fruits of pleasure will actually have you feeling more sensual and alive again.
