A Call to a Sensuous Motherhood

Here in this body are the sacred rivers; here are the sun and moon as well as all the pilgrimage places. . . . I have not encountered another temple as blissful as my own body. — SARAHA

What if motherhood could be blissful? delightful? sensual?

All too often motherhood is associated with drudgery, servitude, and stress!!! But what if it didn’t have to be that way? What if there were a secret formula to magically turn suffering to serenity and stress to sensuousness? It wouldn’t be a gimmicky easy button, it would require effort and sacrifice — a disidentification from the old definition of motherhood to be replaced with a new one — a definition of motherhood that was empowering, masterful, blissful and serene.

Such a formula exists. It has predictable steps, but the journey looks different for every mother. It's a journey from codependence to independence to interdependence to transcendence — a journey of embracing masculine energy and flowing into feminine energy. Some mothers are well on their way, while others have already arrived, and yet many don’t even know the path exists. But in the end, it’s the journey not the destination that counts.

The path to a sensuous, serene and transcendent motherhood often involves inner conflict and struggle before choosing to commit to the journey of personal growth and empowerment. Once committed to such a path the mother gains the skills and strength necessary to finally rise above the limits that keeps her from truly enjoying motherhood to the fullest.

But why? Why would any mother bother to take such an arduous journey at all with no guarantee of succeeding? Because the world has enough suffering. A stressed-out mother only adds to the misery and suffering of the world but a sensuous mother adds beauty and serenity.

A mother's life is a prayer for her children’s future. And her children deserve to be graced with a mother who loves herself and loves her life. Her children deserve a mother whose love tank is full to overflowing with oxytocin.

So she embarks on the journey to a sensuous, serene and transcendent motherhood because she understands her significance as a role model. She takes the journey because her children learn from her how deserving or undeserving they get to feel in this life.

Because when a mother feels safe in her body and safe to be herself, her children feel safe to do the same.

Because her children feel the way she feels, their physiology attunes to her physiology. Because a mother’s state-of-being informs her little ones whether or not the environment is safe enough to thrive or whether they must fight to survive. Because mothers deserve the best. They deserve to feel nothing less than safe, serene and sensual.

Because a mother's pleasure is healing to herself and everyone around her.
