🔥 Get FREE guide to awaken sensuality clicking here: https://www.centrodepoder.com/awaken-sensuality Struggling with womanly pleasure? Orgasm ability unfolds naturally by immersing the whole body in a meditative state beyond the black box of culture.
🔥 How To Start Increasing Womanly Pleasure And Orgasm Ability
A lot of guys are discovering that they can have a more pleasurable sex life for themselves out of pleasing their woman. But they don´t really have access to understanding how to do that.
And a lot of women are unaware of their own orgasm ability and don´t feel deserving of pleasure.
Female pleasure and orgasms are still pretty much in a black box few people is talking about. So it´s important to help people understand not only from a guy's perspective how to touch his woman but how to you know approach her mind and her whole being and so it's it's really been sort of an organic thing the unfolding of intimate pleasure.
The starting point for increasing womanly pleasure and orgasm ability is just really understanding that female orgasms happen in the mind, not just in the physical.
🔥 Women Are Just As Sexually Driven To Pleasure Than Men
Our culture is awakening to that women are just as sexually driven to for pleasure. So yes, the consequences can be slightly different but hopefully if she gets pregnant, hopefully, the guy will at least even if they're not going to stay together will do his part in in that kid's life.
And society hopefully holds them accountable for that too, so it's not so one-sided that she's the only responsible and he can just totally run away. Though there's notoriously been a lot of that in the past.
🔥 Understanding Women Orgasms Will Change The Narrative
The narrative will change when when we start to understand how hyper orgasmic women can be, like giving a woman 10 orgasms in a row and you're just kind of like “oh man I had one ejaculation and she's you know coming over and over and over again” that's like a whole different story than what a lot of women are experience experiencing in their own relationship.
It can be like settling to realize that the pleasure potential and capacity for for a woman's body or physiology is it's immense.
🔥 Feminine Meditative State Prior To Orgasm
Female orgasms happen in the brain. A lot of new research is showing that prior to orgasm women are in almost a meditative state, like a flow state and so it's almost like the alpha brain waves are high and you're in this total state of presence almost just lost in the moment.
🔥 Becoming Present For Pleasure
There´re studies showing that emotional intelligence in women is correlated with frequency of orgasm.
What we're finding for women is the improved ability through meditation to get back to that sort of meditative flow state after being busy-minded.
It´s like if trying to be intimate with your partner and you're finally letting yourself become present and right then that's when you know that worry from something at work comes up that you know you're kind of like “okay I I don't want to deal with this right now.” So you have the skill to navigate through your mind.

🔥 Lost chemistry in bedroom? Learn how to create Alpha Masculine and Omega Feminine polarity with your beloved to increase intimate pleasure here!
🔥 How Does Polarity Helps To Increase Intimate Pleasure Polarity is a practice of sacred Intimacy. It´s a way to show up differently in relationships and use relationships as a tool for spiritual maturity and spiritual growth.
It has a sacred aspect when looking at somatics and the body. Embodied through the experience of what is traditionally known as alfa or masculine energy and the other is omega or feminine energy.
We all have both energies in varying degrees. And we can embody them in different situations making a conscious choice.
But increasing intimate pleasure comes when one partner is in Alpha and the other in the polar opposite that is Omega.
🔥 What´s The Difference Between Alpha Masculine Energy And Omega Feminine Energy Alfa or masculine energy has this purpose orientated, goal focused, penetrative moving forward kind of energy, problem solving, tasks like making lists, logical thinking of step by step procedures.
Omega throws all those lists off the window, no recipe to follow. It´s just moment to moment enjoying, feeling and expressing intimate pleasure, it´s about connection and nurture and beauty and be alive now.
🔥 The Omega/ Alpha Polarity In Terms Of Genitals Omega is one that enjoys being penetrated. Whereas Alpha is the penetrator.
The polarity in specific dynamic increases intimate pleasure.
🔥 The Omega/ Alpha Polarity In Terms Of The Voice Do you like to tell your lover, and command your lover on what to do? That would be Alpha like a Dominatrix, commanding, directing, leading the way towards intimate pleasure.
Or maybe you´re more on receiving direction and being told what to do? Omega is more about surrendering, following, opening up, allowing and receiving intimate pleasure.
🔥 The Omega/ Alpha Polarity In Terms Of The Mind Do you like to feel your lovers attention on you, them enjoying your body and your intimate pleasure being seen? This is Omega, feeling the pleasure rippling through her body, lost in al the sensation and enjoying.
An Apha being wants to see Omega in ecstasy. That´s how they get intimate pleasure.
Do you want to be the center of attention? Or you want the attention be focused on the beloved lost in ecstasy?
🔥 3 Polarity Energetic Interactions Alpha - Alpha Great for business partnership and running a house. But there´s no sexual chemistry, gone. Both will be butting heads.
Omega - Omega Great for friendship. It´s a heartwarming connection. It´s like watching Netflix, crying and processing emotions together. But there´s no juicy chemistry.
Alpha - Omega You relate in opposite energies, there´s a sexual charge. You get there by developing a playful curiosity sensing in what energy you´re in and interacting with your partner in the opposite polarity.
🔥 How To Work With These Energies Of Polarity It´s important to be aware in what energy you are and the process to shift into the other energy when necessary.
Alpha is like being a bad ass entrepreneur killing it, then arriving home in that mode and butting heads with your beloved that is also Alpha. So you shift to Omega and connect in polarity.
Omega is like I don´t wanna go to the gym, just wanna lay here enjoy the clouds, then you get nowhere. So you shift to Alpha and get it done.
At the beginning you´re a little clumsy but then as you keep doing it, you become better at it. The shift is faster and more efficient.
🔥 What´s True Presence? Awareness, sensitivity, equanimity.
When we can live there more from moment to moment to moment, we actually invite our Alpha lovers to blow our minds away.
When we´re not telling them what to do, but we´re letting them know what our needs are with what feels good and what doesn´t, suddenly the impossible will happen, things we didn´t even knew were imaginable. He can step up and be our hero.
That is the state when you become inspiration as Omega.
Delight all that´s in Episode #65 “Polarity To Increase Intimate Pleasure” of The Sensual Sessions Podcast with Yoga Teacher, Coach and Somatic Psychology Counselor, Joni Christine Fraser.

Easily triggered? Trauma is stored in vulnerable areas that flare to terror with touch but micro-adjustments allow to put the body back into pleasure.
🔥 Why putting the body back into pleasure Many difficult experiences are carried unconsciously until theres a trigger that brings them to the present moment, like a caress that reminds you of an unwanted touch from someone.
This is why it´s important to tend to ourselves in a protective and loving way so it´s possible to put the body back into pleasure through gentle movements. This is how we can come to fully welcome the bliss in the now.
🔥 Men relating through violence Though there are valuable exceptions, theres a dominating cultural conversation of violence and domination in the male to male interaction. Male to female interaction is much worse.
Men are supposed to take the lead, have all the ideas, speak all the words, carry the weight of everything. This is not respectful. There´s no way to feel safe nor at ease.
Daniel Schmidt says that even being a “Big Northern Euro Male”, bigger and stronger than the average males, there has been this constant undertone of relating through violence.
He didn´t like that. On his early years he decided to withdraw which led other people closer because they didn´t perceive it as a boundary but as an invitation where everything was allowed because he was quiet, until the point of nothing was allowed.
🔥 When boundaries are bypassed Candia Raquel shares on how a couple family members scaled their aggression after she placed boundaries, as if it was a competition. They didn´t respect the fact that no means no. Until she placed the threat of placing a lawsuit to put them in jail for harrasement.
The difficulty of placing boundaries is that you have to be willing to form and defend your opinion until the end.
This is why, often times women, and men to give away much of our space to avoid conflict. The risk is it can affect us in the way we move. We retreat to our safe space and it becomes smaller.
🔥 How the body stores trauma Having boundaries bypassed leads to giving away vital space and retreating in the corner of safety. Even after many years the body stores trauma in different ways. A simple touch to vulnerable areas like the face of belly can trigger terror and then rage as defense mechanism. The nervous system also stores trauma in systemic ways such that certain movements become triggers. Like a discontinuous movement with speed though for others a soft continuous movement that has a sequence can be a trigger such as a caressing touch to the cheek if it relates to the tone of an experience of abuse.
🔥 Going through fire There are micro-adjustments available to us even in desperate situations. Different ways of going through the way of no return. A minimal shift in the ribs, a softening in the jaw, a focus in the eyes.
You find the answers through the flesh and then comes the mental realization of what you´re doing.
Precise sensibility in the body is like an epicenter. You move something a little then the whole body moves, the awareness and the situation itself it´s transformed.
Discover how to go through fire by Putting The Body Into Pleasure So It Makes Sense with Feldenkrais Method® Practitioner, Professional Bodyworker and Music Performer, Daniel Schmidt.
🔥 About Daniel Schmidt I have been a professional full-time bodyworker in private practice since 1991. I am very fortunate to totally love my work. I have always been fascinated by how bodies move and feel. Investigating how different people come to move the way they do has given me a rare, rich and useful perspective. Before becoming a bodyworker I worked in construction and performed music.

Feeling unworthy? Unravel your capacity to receive by creating safe boundaries. Don´t wait! The whole body is calling you for orgasmic pleasure.
🔥 How To Unravel Orgasmic Pleasure As A Woman When You´re Entangled In Unworthiness
Maybe you lost your capacity for pleasure by numbing yourself from difficult life experiences. Which can lead to having your real and/ or metaphorical fertility channel blocked.
Good news is that Dr Marcy Pondi states that you can restore your inner connection to pleasure as medicine.
🔥 How To Feel Worthy Of Orgasmic Pleasure As A Woman
This is a journey of worthiness. Feeling worthy of pleasure. This comes in unfolding layers at every step as a feminine non-linear way of healing.
You begin by allowing the body to receive, from receiving nutrients to getting time for non-doing. Exploring being apart of doing stuff.
This is supported by restoring boundaries. Safety can be blurry. So it´s about learning how to feel. Finding stability, present time, present space. Finding what can support you now in a real physical sense. The couch, the floor, support in something that don´t move.
You find that working with small doable pieces yields huge power. Just like watering a plant. Not overflowing, not letting it dry. Give only one drop if that´s all that the body can allow in this moment.
🔥 There´s Grounded Hope In Restoring Your Orgasmic Pleasure Ability
Can´t say there is no hope. Dr Marcy Pondi have seen what it looks like miracles. Both here my body and my patience. More like grounded hope. Practice, experience. Natural outcome.
By going deeper into the heart you bring a deep current to the cervix from the Earth.
It´s impressive the womens ability for pleasure when the right conditions for their body present. Cultivate that.
This creates a huge effect in your family, clients and life. Pleasure ripples like a wave of orgasms and transformation.
🔥 Orgasmic Pleasure Is A Devotional Practice
Devotion is a way of tending to sensitivity. If the body is blocked or tense towards new sensations you´ve got to take it slower. Maybe you need something like time. Sometimes it takes a day, others a week, a month, a year or more. That´s why you need to have tools to let the body move and transform herself.
Orgasmic pleasure unravels with devotion, passion, patience, time and space. Allowing to have all the time in the world even if it´s one second, having one second of infinite patience.
🔥 There´s More Than Clitoral Orgasms
Clitoris is amazing but can be limiting to pleasure to only think about the clitoris.
Clitoral orgasm. G-Spot orgasm. Cervix, A-Spot, B-Spot, K-Spot. Multiple physical stuff.
But the whole body can be orgasmic.
Touch the skin, breathe, allowing sound. Orgasmic pleasure moves through the body until the body is transformed into something else.
Pleasure in the throat can be taken from deep throating, the nipples, the anus.
The whole body is calling you for pleasure.
🔥 About Dr Marcy Pondi

Always rushing? Instead you could slowly build confidence in the feeling of pleasure in yourself with small steps to success through Movingness.
🔥 How Movingness can show you how to engage your body´s pleasure
20 yr ago the body was not recognized in psychology. It´s part of our cultural bias to shut down our biological self to the point of sensory deprivation.
But you know theres something more because when you go to nature everything is in your senses, the wind, the smells, the way you stand your feet on the ground.
In movingness you first come back to feeling your body, getting in physical touch with your biological nature.
🔥 Shifting your perception through Movingess to feel your body and other´s body
We often run in the auto-pilot of our predictive brain projecting your ideas of the world onto the world but in Movingness you begin to shift to the state of the receptive brain, the meditative brain.
You don´t need to rush things. You can slowly build confidence in the feeling of yourself, you can just enjoy doing small steps so you can have success every week.
The basis of Movingness is being on the receptive brain where the world is coming to you, you become receptive, you can feel, you can look, you can experience. This is the state we need to be when we´re feeling the body and when we´re feeling someone else´s body.
The interesting thing here is that when you start feeling your own body it´s also easier to start feeling other people´s bodies or nature, so you have this connection here that you really feel that you´re not separated that you´re not alone, that you´re connected with the rest of the world.
If you´re ready to drop this state that we know everything about the world, that we are in control and just fleshly enjoy what´s coming, here´s The Sensual Sessions episode #62 to Engage Your Body´s Pleasure Through Movingness, with Yoga Teacher, Dance Facilitator, Writer and Founder of Movingness, Peter Appel.
🔥 About Peter Appel and Movingness
PETER APPEL, Finland, is a yoga teacher in four traditions, dance facilitator, meditator, mental trainer, and writer. He is also the founder of MOVINGNESS – a new way of connecting with the feeling body. As Peter says: “When we let our feelings guide our movements, we can enter a state that is highly receptive, creative, and open. We can experience joy, satisfaction and connection with ourselves and others.”
MOVINGNESS, is a new movement method for body and mind integration. The first series in Movingness creates a deep connection with the body. Later series are focused on natural movements. All series are practiced slowly in a state of deep relaxation, which makes it possible to feel the body from within (interoception). The movements are both calming and stimulating for the nervous system. This often leads to an experience of relaxation in the body and clarity in the mind. The softness and gradual learning curve make Movingness very flexible. It can be adapted to people of all ages in a wide variety of physical conditions. You can practice Movingness to increase your wellbeing, improve your body awareness, refine your movement patterns, or as a moving meditation. Or just for the pleasure!

Is the past blocking your heart? Discover how to transform resentment into grateful pleasure through forgiveness in this episode.
Troubles with pleasure could come from resentment screaming to be transformed into gratitude
The happiness that brims from pleasure is not something solid to hold on like an object that is going to be there, it´s dynamic, it´s fluid, it´s relational. You can´t force it.
🔥 You know how to find happiness?
Gratitude, when you live in gratitude.
Then you realize sun came out, I´m grateful OMG I´ve got another day. I see the stars at night, you don´t know when you´re gonna die. Birds sing. The Sun don´t always come out, it happened in the past with the dinosaurs and everything died. So I have roof over my head, not everybody does. I have food on my table, not everybody does.
And can´t help but to say a prayer of gratitude before every meal and live your life always saying prayers of gratitude.
🔥 Why it´s so hard to be grateful?
Beverly Laurence sees the biggest barrier to gratitude is the lack of forgiveness.
People won´t forgive. You don´t have to forget, but you can forgive because not forgiving only hurts you and destroys your ability to be happy.
So if you forgive you say: The divine consciousness/ Gd/ Creator/ Great Spirit/ Whatever you wanna call it, call the law of Karma, they will get their lesson.*
Understand you don´t have to teach them a lesson, it´d destroy your own happiness. You be happy. They have a lesson to learn. By hurting you, you know how it feels like so you won´t do that to someone else. Don´t do onto others what you don´t want to be done onto you, golden rule remember.
If you´re ready for a quick self-hypnosis practice to live in gratitude and you´re happy, here´s The Sensual Sessions Episode #61 on how to Transform Resentment Into Grateful Pleasure with Dancing Bear Enlightenment Academy Founder, Acupuncturist and Medical Hypnotherapist, Beverly Lawrence (PhD).

Not feeling at home in your body? Discover ways to feel pleasure in simply being yourself by moving mindfully with the Feldenkrais Method® here.
🔥 Is bad posture taking you from the pleasure of being at home in your body?
Fariya shares that movement transformed the felt sense of being herself.
“Shifted my sense of identity. Felt very insecure. Showing people I was in charge, carried my back in a very particular way. That insecure holding caused me to injure myself. Startling revelation finding I didn´t have to do it, then you start wondering: who am I? Where can I hold myself in this world?”
We have attitudes in certain areas in the body. A way to holding yourself in the world that can even lead to chronic pain and passing out, like it happened to Fariya. It´s enough to have a certain attitude in your body towards the world that a lot of times it means following the cookie cutter template of in the way of being of your ancestors..
The position of your body is REAL PLACE of holding yourself. As you get older your self-image changes. Different experiences shape, grow, morph your sense of who you are. And the people around you will influence that as well. Self image is not only us thinking who we think we are but thinking about other people thinking who they think we are.
Being at home in your body depends on your self-image which is a relational interphase formed by the interpretation of the world through internal and external experiences.
🔥 The pleasure of coming back home in your skin
Fariya shares the story of a client that after taking 5 day retreat of 2 Feldenkrais Method® sessions a day she was a different person.
When she came back she had no pain, she wanted just a tune up to tuning into the body, she looked different, she carried herself differently, she even dressed differently. And the conversation was about possibility, “I could do this, I could imagine that. LIFE IS GOOD.”
She became embodied in a different identity from doing whole series of lessons where she could see herself in a very different way because she was not in a box anymore, she had a room with windows, she had possibilities, she had space to be creative and to be herself. And not be held by responsibility and constantly trying to measure up to other people standards.
So it can be so transformative finding home in your skin.
🔥 How to feel comfortable in your own skin
This can be very difficult if we hare talking about this idea of finding pleasure and satisfaction through objects or activities, like going on holidays, getting a new car or whatever to say “I feel pleasure, I feel happy.” But it´s short lived, it´s always the next thing that we need. It´s good to have experiences, there´s nothing wrong with it but if it´s a place where they´re looking for a sense of meaning connected to themselves, that´s when it can become faulty.
Perduring pleasure can be cultivated through movement lessons that helps us come into ourselves and say hello to our inner being, that inner self that really wants to be happy sensing the flesh and wants to express in a way that is completely free from inhibition.

Is focus on success keeping you from playfully tapping into the pleasure of physicality?
It seems normal what´s not normal. Like being busy with never ending tasks, overwhelmed with information and running after urgent notifications. While feeling estranged from our own physical sensations.
Actually successful people are the ones who play, just like Messi. Playing can only happen when you´re fully immersed in what you´re doing. Going through the motions in autopilot like a robot is not enough to win the world cup. That´s why it´s so important to reframe play as fundamental in culture.

You a control freak? Congratulations! That´s great to build a career, though it´s disastrous for pleasure. Discover how to let go of give it up here.
🔥 How giving up control unleashes pleasure in movement
Being a control freak is a priced virtue in the culture of achievement. Running by the book, keeping track of everything and climbing the ladder of success requires tremendous self-control. But control can be disastrous for pleasure. Imagine counting each chew of your favorite meal while looking at your watch aiming of the perfect chewing length. What could be the magic of savoring delight turns into a boring set process. When control is relinquished, flesh takes over. Then you open to the pleasure movement itself brings.
🔥 Curious how to control less and delight in pleasure more?
Learn about finding pleasure in movement by giving up control here at The Sensual Sessions episode #57 with Embodied Learning Systems, Founder. Dancer and Alexander Technique Teacher, Clare Maxwell.
🔥 About Clare Maxwell
Sitting still and being quiet was never my forte! I was born with joyful connection to my body and a natural trust in my physical intelligence. I loved dancing just for fun. I was aware of my body and loved my body. That connection was broken by overtraining when I became a professional dancer. I worked so hard at it that I started to dissociate from my body just to get through the pain. My standards for myself during my dance career were extremely high. I was forced by multiple injuries and emotional pain to re-examine those standards and see that they were destroying my career, not sustaining it. The Alexander Technique, which I encountered by accident in a dance class, showed me how to let go of self-destructive attitudes and replace them with positive movement practices that were more in harmony with the actual design of my unique body, mind, and spirit. The Technique calmly centered me in my own perceptions. I could stay present in myself without dissociating even under stress. I recovered my ability to dance easily and expansively—to fly!—with just the right amount of tension. I found my real voice as an artist and stopped trying to be like other dancers. The Technique restored my trust in and love of my own body. I healed multiple injuries while still staying active professionally and was astonished at the growth in my technical skill and range. All this was possible without toxic overthinking and unnecessary muscular effort of the past. The Alexander Technique became the foundation on which I built a joyful and sustainable career as an independent dance artist and embodiment educator. I worked with choreographers John Jasperse, Ann Carlson, and many others. Surprise surprise, I became one myself! I toured the US and Europe and had a blast. Eventually my dream to train as a teacher of the Alexander Technique came true, and I settled down in NYC. After two decades of teaching, however, I became frustrated with the lack of life-affirming motion in traditional Alexander Technique teaching and practice. I wanted to help my students and fellow teachers apply the AT principles more freely to all movement. To that end, I trained extensively with a group of AT teachers that use developmental movement as a framework for learning, inspired by Professor Raymond Dart and the Dart Procedures. This led me to a deep inquiry into the central nervous system and the segmental structure of the human body. I created Mobile Body Alignment™ four years before the pandemic as a way of communicating what I had learned. Now it is taught worldwide by a growing group of teachers because it can be used easily in activity and online. MBA helps all kinds of teachers use movement freely and fearlessly in their class room, whether they teach art, music, theater, dance, or the Alexander Technique itself. I also mentor embodiment professionals in their creative & business development. I believe that it is our responsibility to communicate the value of embodiment in the marketplace and create profitable businesses. This is the only way to really change a profoundly disembodied culture. I continue to work on live theater productions as a movement coach. Over the years I've worked with Sarah Cameron Sunde, Marielle Heller, and most recently on the brilliant play What to Send Up When It Goes Down by Aleshea Harris.

Want to be a great lover? Just unleash your instinctual arousal reflexes by getting tension out of the way. Discover how to let pleasure happen here.
🔥 A great lover lets pleasure happen
Tension is confused with arousal as often as it´s discharging release is confused with pleasure. Truth is that tension only gets in the way of instinctual reflexes properly performing on intimacy. The secret of great intimacy is in not letting tension get in the way of the naturally emerging fleshly pleasure.

Learn more here at the Episode #55 “How To Let Pleasure Happen” of The Sensual Sessions podcast with Libresencia Co-Founder, Alexander Technique Teacher and Classical Cello Player, Rodrigo Suárez.
🔥 About Rodrigo Suárez
Rodrigo is co-founder of Libresencia, for those who want to feel free to be themselves, without fear, without shame and without conflict. Since childhood he studied cello, and loved it. During puberty, he experienced his parents' divorce. He remembers his adolescence as the most difficult time of his life. Since then, he started looking for personal transformation tools. At the age of 18, he travelled to study a bachelor's degree at the London College of Music, where he graduated, but the perfectionism of the teachers reduced his pleasure in playing. The good thing is that at that college he learned about the Alexander Technique. After his bachelor's degree, Rodrigo pursued the three-year training in London to become a certified Alexander Technique teacher. It was there where his great transformation happened, both at a bodily and mental-emotional level. He is now a member of the Mexican Association of Alexander Technique Teachers (APTAM) and has been helping others inhabit their bodies for 23 years. Rodrigo's other passion is Nonviolent Communication (NVC), an approach in which he is certified by the Center for Nonviolent Communication, and that he has been sharing with others for 12 years. It can be said that Rodrigo and his life partner Madeleine owe their relationship to NVC, which is especially valuable now that they are parents. He is convinced that if we want to improve the world we live in, it is essential to learn how to communicate better. Rodrigo has taught workshops at many universities, conservatoires, professional orchestras and business.

About Máire Ni G, Universal Tao Instructor.
I’m a certified Universal Tao Instructor and trained directly with the world-famous Taoist Grandmaster Mantak Chia. I’ve done over 3,000 Tao training hours and continue to learn and upgrade.
Roll back 20 years and I was in Trinity College graduating with a Health Science degree in Occupational Therapy.
I’ve a Postgraduate Diploma in Bereavement & Loss - which is something that we all experience in our lives and requires a certain sensitivity and holding.
I studied Trauma & Polyvagal Theory - the science of safety and trust - with top neuroscientist Dr Stephen Porges who developed the theory & leading clinician Deb Dana.
I’ve worked for non-profit children’s organisations developing and leading psycho-social programmes in Ireland, UK and Africa.
And life. I’ve lived a lot in this adventurous lifetime. I call them my past lives. So many people have said to me ‘you should write a book’, but instead I write emails to people like you and share what I’ve learned along the way.
A little more about me… For the last couple of years I’ve lived as a digital nomad in places like Bali, Malta & Gozo and now in Mallorca. My wild spirit is at peace when I’m on a scooter with wind in my hair, sunshine and the smell of coconuts! When I’m not doing Taoist stuff, I love to dance tango and eat pink grapefruits.

10:56 - Find liberation by exploring reality, making mature decisions and having authority on your doing.
14:01 - Creating a safe context and building radially along your way of relating to reality.
15:01 - Questioning and taking the power to decide for yourself what´s good rather than listening what society told you.
15:13 - Ownership is when you judge for yourself and you feel okay. You practice it by coming back to the basic principles of The Feldenkrais Method®. Like the contact with the floor and the felt sense of yourself moving.
15:45 - Find the power to decide what´s best for you by questioning.
15:18 - The sense of pleasure is coming from something that is simply good, that it´s working well and then sensuality could go absolutely in this direction, why not, but at first there´s a sense of pleasure that is coming from feeling good, from a sense of satisfaction of your own action and your own movement, then you can go even more because of the beauty of this essential exploration.
18:02 - There are different nuances of the pleasure but pleasure is so simple. Pleasure is just feeling good in the how you see it, how you speak, how you breathe, how you perform a little movement.
18:40 - Pleasure in solitude to go more in the direction of sensuality.
19:26 - Pleasure is nuanced, not steady and linear. It has many shapes and it´s connected with the ease of efficiency.
19:47 - Going from the atmosphere of heroic martyrdom and I fake stoicism of the no pain no gain mentality of pushing hard understanding that in only leads to burnout.
20:06 - Pleasure being stigmatized as indulging in being mediocre for enjoying instead of pushing hard while it´s actually the other way around.
21:02 - Pleasure is still not part of the vocabulary in dance. All you hear is that you need to suffer a lot and work hard everyday.
21:21 - There is work to achieve what you really want in life even if you want to be the most virtuous in the world but it´s not just that. When you see an incredibly good dance there´s something on the ballerina´s movement that is effortless, like you don´t see any of the struggle and that is an encouragement.
22:21 - When you struggle, when you force, when you go against your system, it´ll show everywhere. This is specially difficult at the beginning of the training.
22:28 - Then the challenge is to refresh the pleasure of dancing, to rediscover pleasure.
23:46 - Pleasure is very healthy.
24:16 - Pleasure by no means means lousiness of laziness but on the contrary, there´s a discipline to the awareness.
25:05 - Good dancers do things that are such a pleasure for them that it becomes pleasurable for the spectator.
26:09 - Mini dance experience connected to the Feldenkrais Method®.
