What if you could relish in the wisdom of your body and it was a catalyst for receiving more of life’s pleasures, free from cultural shame or guilt? Well you can, with the pioneering practice of bodyfulness.

In this book you’ll learn how to

  1. Understand the challenges to mind-body connection and intimacy-pleasure connection through a historical and cultural context.

  2. Cultivate practices to let go of guilt and shame around your body and pleasure by reframing cultural, religious, and family messages.

  3. Expand beyond mindfulness to bodyfulness to develop nuanced body wisdom, healthy forms of release, and feel revitalized.

  4. Engage in experiential bodyfulness practices that can bring to life what you learn, and help rewire patterns in your body and mind.

  5. Trust your body rather than control your body, and listen to its needs for balance and health.

  6. Enhance your intuition and body confidence with a variety of dynamic and vigorous movement practices alongside slower, sensual, and breath-focused movements.

  7. Reclaim pleasure through embodied practices and mental shifts so that you can acknowledge pleasure as something you deserve and something that protects you.

  8. Broaden your understanding of pleasure to four different kinds—sensual, play, lively/flow, and erotic/sexual—and experience each kind through the practice of bodyfulness.

  9. Cultivate embodied communication to improve emotional and physical intimacy with your partner.

  10. Have more strength, resilience, and magnetism that can draw others to your energy.

“I wrote this book for anyone who’s felt homeless in their body, disconnected from their essence, and conflicted in receiving the pleasures they deserve. I wrote this so we could heal collectively from the body up.”
