A day of love, a day of romancing, a day of basking in the decadent experience of being alive and in love. Today you're invited to harness all of this collective love energy floating around and beam it directly towards yourself. A day of self-devotion. What is your body craving as we move towards the far edge of winter and into the warmth of spring? What sensations is your body searching for, and how do you feel about this desire for more/less/different? What blockages are you encountering around embodiment? What support would you need to make embodiment feel like a ritual today? We approach these questions with the belief that your body is a living, breathing, sensational oracle. Instead of reaching for your tarot deck or another divination tool for answers, look to your body for insight. Ask your body a question about your pleasure (i.e. What would make me feel really fucking good right now? Why does my pleasure matter? How can I take actionable steps towards self-devotion?) While you wait for an answer, make yourself comfortable and bring as much of your attention as you can towards your senses. How is the question echoing in your mouth? How does it taste? How are your muscles tightening or loosening in response? What thoughts are bubbling up, and are they even related to the question? Practice witnessing these responses with neutrality, but jot down anything that seems important or surprising. Like any divination practice, learning your somatic language will take patience, authentic desire for relationship, and
tending. |
Pleasure-full and sensual embodiment is the foundation of Seagrape, and we have some suggestions to make any Date Yourself Day feel as full of this magic as possible!
🌹Create a Body Oil Ritual; Hydrate your skin with these nourishing blends and invigorating scent. Exotic Fields is an aromatic hop and skip towards body bliss. Essential oils of peppermint and lemon are uplifting, rosemary and clove are protective and soothing. This oil is great for increasing circulation, making it a favorite for massages and sensual evenings.
🌹Write yourself a love note (or two!) and put it on your altar. Take the time to really adore yourself here! Write about your favorite things, what you admire, what you hope never changes. Seal it with a kiss and a spritz
and read it any time you need to remember how amazing you are.
🌹Dive into a juicy book that has a lot to say about pleasure! The world moves incredibly fast, and these pages counter that with somatic practices that stretch time out like a sweet drop of molasses. We could all benefit from the magic of slowing time,
and Slow Pleasure is a direct ticket there.
