Taking Action – Body Freedom (Part 7 of 7)

"Taking Action – Body Freedom"

(Part 7 of 7)

The best way to learn—and unlearn—is to take action. Remember that your Body Freedom is your responsibility. It is neither mandatory nor automatic. You can claim your Body Freedom with the following actions:

1.Pay attention to your body. Listen to what it tells you about how it feels and what it wants and needs to function at its best, such as good food, enough rest, adequate exercise, and sensory delight.

2.Identify the body-negative messages you give yourself, that others give you, and that you give to others. Replace them with body-positive communication.

3.Touch your mate with tenderness, respect, and caring everyday.

4.Change your sexual focus from performance and orgasm to pleasure and union. Dare to learn how to make your sex an ecstatic art.

Claiming your Body Freedom will bring passion and intimacy to your relationship. It will help you feel more secure, more in tune with the natural rhythm of life, and appreciative of the world’s sensory pleasures. You’ll discover with paradoxical delight that, while your body makes you a unique and separate individual, it is also the perfect medium for merging utterly with another.
