There's a thread of er*ticism that permeates the core of our being
There's a breath of aliveness that's available to us till we die
There's a blueprint of bliss that is meant to remind us of our divinity.
Mothers, particularly the new ones, tend to suppress that experience in profound ways
It's like the identities of Mother and Erotic Person can't co-exist.
Now, the removal of sensuality and eroticism from the Mother identity is as old as Mother Mary and this idea that she's a virgin (in the sexual sense of the word)
Silly!
Intentional!
Political!
So, here we are, still grappling with what it means to be a mom while also being an erotic person.
There's work to be done on this
Lots of work!
A couple of weeks ago, I had the honor of bringing this conversation, and somatic exploration, into a room full of moms and their little ones in the Mother Rising event.
I shared the argument,
The political importance of reclaiming the erotic as power
Then we dropped into the body
Used our breath, movement, sounding and energy activation to find the thread of Eros in us
We reconnected with it
Expanded it to give a little more space to our erotic identity
We felt it as a thread of Divinity in us.
And then, we opened our eyes
Saw each other inhabiting the Erotic Mother archetype again
While our little ones beared witness to the beauty and naturality in that.
What joy to do this work with these women.
What a privilege.
What an honor!
Feeling so grateful ❤️
