Day 9 - GRIEFGASM by Eve (she/her)

Good morning pleasure bunnies,

I am navigating this month of December swimming in an ocean of heartbreak, grief and tender raw feels all day every day. I am grieving the animals and the ecosystems, present and past heartbreaks, my younger self… I am longing for a lover, a friend, a hug, a big love story, a puppy, a different world... The heart is stretched seemingly to the max. And that made me wonder, maybe many of us can relate. And maybe… maybe all of this is OK?

I’ve been journeying with grief and heartbreak for some years now. And it has been alchemised and transformed by my pleasure practice. Yes, I invite us to welcome all of this in. We do not have to hide our grief, or leave it behind closed doors as we enter our pleasure practice. What if we let it all the way in, and let it be nourished by our pleasure, moreover, let our pleasure be informed, sourced by our grief?

This is my inspiration for today’s practice.

We will dive into our grief and longings while staying present and resourced, and then mix our pleasure and grief together.

I thank for various inspiration and input for this practice Layla Martin for embodiment and emotional alchemy piece, Mantak Chia for taoist energy cultivation piece, Fiona Shaw for developing my loving relationship with grief, and Resmaa Menakem for grounding and orienting practice.

I will be guiding some movement, please modify and adjust the way it works for your body, today. I do encourage movement, as it helps to get out of our conditioned way to shut down in the face of grief. Let my voice guide you and make adjustments while encouraging yourself to move in whatever way works for you. You will need either a yoga mat, a carpet or a blanket on the floor.

This will be a bite-sized experience and of course we will not be “done” with our grief by the end of it but my hope and desire is to encourage a start of a more loving, accepting relationship with our tender hearts in all their beauty. <3

With all my love,
Eve
