Seven years ago I received my cosmic kick out of Africa, my conservation work and a 20yr relationship. My spiritual journey had become the focus of my existence and it was time to discover who I was, what I was supposed to be doing here and what life on earth was all about. All I knew is that I had to clean up my physical and energetic body and forget everything I knew and everything I thought I was as this seemed to be the most likely way I might discover who I am. From working with indigenous people in my clinic in the heart of Omo National Park, Ethiopia I had become aware that there was a whole lot going in the unseen world that was influencing our 3D realty, informing our choices, how we responded to life and generally how we walked in the world. This brought me to the conclusion that it wasn't about putting any more information into our body or being but rather taking away all that was not the source of our soul; all that we had inherited from our ancestors, all the trauma that we had experienced in this life, programming of society, religious indoctrination, belief systems and any unfinished business from past lives. Leanne with Sheba © private collection You may be wondering what this may have to do with Sacred Sexuality... Well, many of us have been influenced in some way or other by a major religion that has informed us, or our ancestors, that sex is a sin and we are separate from God. These beliefs have worked pretty well keeping us from our power and our connection with the earth and our body for the past 2000 yrs. Did you know that in indigenous cultures there is no separation between sexual and our life-force energy and they are often described with the same word? This means, every time we use, abuse, suppress or repress our sexual energy we are actually misusing our very own Life Force energy. 64
