I had always known there was more to sex than what I had experienced yet I didn't really know what it was until I participated in a 2-day workshop on sexuality. This experience awakened me to the reality that sexuality, intimacy and conscious relating are some of the most important pieces missing from our education, and often our spiritual journey. This is what we need to share with teenagers so that they know from puberty how sacred their body, their temple is, so that they may understand their sexuality and understand the power of this energy when it is cultivated and how to consciously share it with others. So after walking the medicine wheel and having many ‘other than normal reality’ experiences that answered my questions; who am I, what and I doing here and what is life all about I was delivered to the door of 21st century Sacred Sexuality. I had a word with my soul if it was serious and the universe laughed at me, I may have answered some of the most important questions in life on my way up the mountain but now I had to come back down and pick up those pieces I had left behind. Nevertheless, what I had realized is that there was nothing I had to put in to my being or ‘activate’ that when we take away all that is not ours the natural flow of our sexual/life force energy returns effortlessly. We live in a society where sex is used to sell and as a stress relief, where many people override their heart for sexual gratification, and the majority of sexual interactions are friction based and goal orientated ending in a contractive peak orgasm. For a moment just imagine what our lovemaking would be like if we relaxed, surrendered into our bodies, hearts and presence and embarked on a journey of discovery with ourselves and our beloved, no goal, no agenda... How does that feel in your body and being? Twin Suns © Matt The Samurai 65
