Take a moment to pause. If you're reading this on your phone, put it down and breathe for a moment, place a hand on your body wherever it feels good, and let your eyes fall closed. We'll meet you back here in a few minutes.

Hi again sweet babe—how was that?

If this was your first time practicing intentional, pleasure-full pause, consider journaling about this experience for a few minutes. How did it feel to relinquish control of the now, if only for a few minutes? Was is a relief to land in your body, to feel your own touch, to become aware of your own breathing? Did some uncomfortable feelings surface during those few moments of quiet? Were you able to give yourself permission to feel that discomfort? Is it possible that gentleness in the face of challenge is just a more tender facet of pleasure?  

In a world that's constantly speeding up leaving us behind, prioritizing these moments of slow, intentional pleasure is an act of self-preservation.

If pleasure medicine is what you're needing right now, you're not alone babe. We're hosting healer, educator, and Jewish pleasure witch Hadar Cohen on June 11th for a slow return to sensuality through ritual, exploration, and tender discussion. Hadar teaches about pleasure from the frame of radical embodiment, and together, we'll be working with the five core senses to mend our relationship with our bodies and cultivate delight!
