Sacred
Sexual Healing
Sexual abuse and trauma survivors are seeking new
ways to heal themselves. Couples are at their wit’s end trying to understand
and talk about their sexual issues. Single men and women feel “shut down” and
have no idea why. After years of talk therapy, people are often left with the
feeling that there is something more. I know this because I was one of those
people, and I was lucky enough to find my way to a school that teaches the art
of sacred sexual healing with integrity and consciousness, the Divine
Feminine-Awakened Masculine Institute.
As I gained mastery over my own sexuality and
completed the Spiritual Sexual Educator Certification program, I knew this was
my life path; to complete my healing and learn to help others who need this
kind of specialized and cutting-edge practitioner. At the core of this training
program, is a healing modality called The Nurturing Practice of AH. This
modality can be offered fully clothed and is very effective as a sexual healing
practice.
AH stands for awakening and healing. The qualities
of nurturing, awakening, and healing are what I bring to a sacred sexual
healing session. Safety and trust are also paramount to this type of work.
People are often feeling afraid of the unknown… so much emotion can be
repressed and held in the body, and it can be scary to allow that to surface.
Communication is the most important component of
all. I enjoy helping people really tune in to their own guidance, to listen to
themselves first and foremost. It’s very empowering to realize that you know
all the answers to your questions already… it’s just a matter of asking,
listening, and letting your body communicate with you.
Learning to talk about sexuality can be very
beneficial for those who feel shame and embarrassment about the subject. It
helps to have someone to talk to who can discuss sexuality openly and easily,
giving one an opportunity to practice these tender communication skills. A
well-trained practitioner can help you feel at ease learning to express your
sexual concerns, preferences, and desires.
Sacred sexual healing sessions do not involve an
exchange of sexual energy. If sexual energy is experienced in the client, the
practitioner simply allows this energy of awakening to unfold without
interacting with it. The result is that the client experiences their own sexual
energy and has the opportunity to integrate the opening into their bodies and
lives.
Abuse and trauma may be released when the client
feels safe enough to allow repressed feelings to surface. Having a place in
which to fully express old anger, shame, rage, and sadness allows these
emotions safe passage from the body. The practitioner simply allows the
expression and holds the space steady as a neutral, compassionate witness.
Often, there is tremendous relief as the layers of ancient material exit for
good.
The beauty of AH is that it can be learned by
anyone. I teach couples how to give AH to each other. I teach it in weekend
workshops and people who have just met can easily practice on one another. It
is deeply respectful, healing, and loving work.
I am deeply passionate about this work because it is
a holistic approach… it addresses the whole being. It helps people access their
vitality, aliveness, and passion for life. For some, it opens up whole new
worlds of relating, communication, intimacy, and expression. For others, an
opportunity to fully embrace and integrate past traumas. For me, all of the
above and much, much more.
