The Sensual Life Blog

We think too much and feel too little.

We have been molded by repression and crave full expression. We engage in shallow relationships, banal conversation, and hollow pastimes – and wonder why we feel empty and alone.

We want more, and don’t know how to get it. When we get it, we don’t know how to accept it. This is the nature of the separated life – when mind, body and spirit are disconnected.

The antidote is to live a life of connection and integration.

A life of full feeling and expression. Where you have access to your life force energy. Where you experience depth and feeling. Where you know your essence, live from your spirit, and are anchored in your body.

For many years, I called this a “sensual life” – and it confused people. Because when we say the word “sensual” we immediately think it’s a code word for “sex.” Which made me sad. And a little mad. But eventually, I gave in. The Sensual Life became MAD Life, and I got to crawl out of the small box that people label “sex” and keep tucked under the bed at home.

But this blog remains as an ode to that earlier articulation of my work – because I still think it whispers something important to a part of ourselves that many have forgotten or forsaken. It’s still an important container for me, and maybe for you. It still speaks to a full-bodied, full-feeling, full-throated way of living and being in the world that I think changes everything.
